This is really interesting, although I found it difficult to listen to, as I have spent a lot of time listening to the original. If I try to mentally block this from being connected with Satie's Gymnopedie, I enjoyed it much more.
That's not true for all classical remixes. William Orbit's version of Barber's Adagio for Strings is one of my favourite dance tracks.[0] (although not the Tiesto remix).
If you like Satie's Gymnopedies, then I also recommend his Gnossienes[1] and Faure's Pavane.[2]

Many modern recordings are at a slower tempo, such as this short orchestral version from the Berliner Philhamoniker conducted by Simon Rattle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhiVuIRw4tM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhiVuIRw4tM)

- lobster_johnson 11y agoI like Brian Eno's Discreet Music [1], which provides three slowed-down variations on Johann Pachelbel's Canon in D Major (the first one rather amusingly named Fullness of Wind), eventually reaching tempos where you can hardly discern the original melody. Max Richter also brilliantly "recomposed" Vivaldi a few years ago, turning his Four Seasons into something like a modern work.
