Junkie XL Appreciation Thread

[Archon]

Will be sharing some of my favourite Junkie XL stuff here and there, but curious to see if you guys also have some non-obvious works from him that you regard as great.

Just watched this, crazy energy here.

I love some of his soundtracks ...



And of course Alita Battle Angel ...



I love the movie very much!

JXL was one of my favourite artists of the 00s and is in my top 5 most played artists overall. Discovered him through his remix of The Sims 2 theme. I honestly fell off when he transitioned to hollywood. Seemed like it was something he was always aiming for career wise, but the little I have heard strikes me as generic cinematic.

Ryuku Underground - Seragaki (Junkie XL Remix)

No one has yet to upload a higher fidelity rip than me of this one yet.
It's in mono everywhere else. Download link in video description~

This one as well: Sander Kleinenberg ft. Fluke & Junkie XL - Venus & Mars [2000].

Dave Gahan - Dirty Sticky Floors (Junkie XL Vocal Remix)

 

[erickUO]

Always thought he deserves more fame in late 90s. As famous as The Prodigy or Chemical Bros.
Got many favs from him: Beauty never fades, Breezer, Future in computer hell, mushroom, war, and the list goes on

What's new to me is this compilation

A Discogs user said:

The idea behind this mix was sounds that Charlie May & Junkie XL listened to (or were influenced by) when working on Sasha's Airdrawndagger.

Junkie XL feat. Saffron - Beauty Never Fades


And all of the above mentioned. Such a gifted music engineer.

Lots of good ones posted already, including the Dave Gahan remix and Beauty Never Fades. My personal favourite is this. The dark guitar in the background, phat bassline and the percs conjure up apocalyptic images. Sarah's vocal softens up the affair, like a ray of light in an apocalyptic landscape. Masterful.

Sarah McLachlan - World on Fire (Junkie XL Mix)

 

[Sleepy Robot]

To be honest i don't know many of his own original productions except for Don't Wake Up Policeman, Mushroom, Obsession, Beauty Never Fades and Today.

I like to mention these remixes too:

Legacy (Junkie XL Remix)

Dilruba (Junkie XL Remix)

Burn My Shadow (Junkie XL Remix)

Outrageous (Junkie XL's Tribal Remix)

Sarah McLachlan - World on Fire (Junkie XL Mix)

Totally agree. One of those tracks where the music reflects the title!

This absoloute gem

A Forest Called Mulu - Rain Dreamers (Mellow Trance Dreamers)
