Nite Versions is a remix album by Soulwax, released on 26 September 2005, through PIAS. The album comprises remixes of songs from their third studio album, Any Minute Now.
History
[edit]The remix album's name is a nod to the "Night Versions" of Duran Duran's songs, which were extended dance remixes intended for nightclub play.[3]
The album opens with Soulwax's own take on Daft Punk's 1997 song "Teachers." A hidden track is present before the start of track 1. The 51-second instrumental is untitled but is an alternate version of the guitar riff from the original version of E Talking. The artwork for singles from the album forms illusions. Trevor Jackson produced the album artwork.
In 2012, Nite Versions was awarded a double silver certification from the Independent Music Companies Association,[4] which indicated sales of at least 40,000 copies throughout Europe. "Another Excuse" and "Compute" are featured in Test Drive Unlimited.
In 2020, the album was re-released for its 15th anniversary. The re-release included a special repressing on pink and white vinyl and a rework of "NY Lipps" with a spoken-word performance by LCD Soundsystem's Nancy Wang.[3]
