I have the bad habit of listening to remixes of some Kpop before I listen to the originals for groups I don't particularly follow, so that when I do listen to the original often it comes off underwhelming.
Case in point being Areia's remix of "I Am The Best."



Where my other favorite remixers' take on "I Am The Best" put a twist on the song, usually to suit the remixer's style, I find that Areia's remix distilled the essence of what makes "I Am The Best" so epic and amplified it. At any rate, now whenever I hear "Naega Jeil Jal Naga" it sounds wrong to me if I don't hear a whole ton of reverb with it. Although, it's not quite as much sassy fun as the original, with the relentless tribal beats lending an almost menacing tinge to 2NE1's aggressiveness.

In "My Love Bitch", do you know the name of the synth opposing the vocoded bits? All I know is that it's also the synth that takes "lead" at 0:45 here.

Heh, I see askbask's already linked Pon Pon Pon there. Nakata can do no wrong.
