I just heard the full version of this mix on Soundcloud.
It's OK. It's got a bit of an ambient vibe going on, but doesn't really go anywhere. The first half, which is instrumental, is probably more interesting than the second half, when Neil's vocals are introduced.

Well, the fact you're able to listen to it right now probably suffices doesn't it?
I guess so... Pretty good remix I must say, even though I agree it's best before Neil starts singing which really tells it all - as it until then really isn't anything about PSB.
There are very few moments in an artist career where a producer gets as deeply involved into the artist's original idea, that he can eventually come up with and intense, sensitive, provocative and brilliant alternative production of a particular song.
There are very few remixers capable of taking you out of the original's mood and still sound fresh and unique.
Even fewer being able to transport the listener throughout the entire song with a variaty of sonic landscapes and textures, full of love nostalgic melodies embracing your soul until there's nothing else to exhale.
This is the case for Mr Andrew Dawson's HAPPYSAD remix of WINNER.
What an intimidating and atonishing remix he's done!
I don't think I will survive the release of quality compositions like this one much longer!!
Neil Tennant has a great voice, Chris Lowe has great silence.

I'm in complete agreement with this. So glad that they are releasing the instrumantal disc alongside Elysium. Judging by the snippets and the general quality of this phase so far I think i've found a new favourite album. Very happy - or happy/sad - indeed.
