Fair enough.  We know what I classify as being a remix, what's yours?  In what manner do you consider the Villalolbos track a proper remix? That's all I'm asking.  If you played someone this track and asked them to guess the track or at least the artist being remixed and I don't think anyone, even you, would be able to tell me it was WTIL.  This could be a remix of the Orb, Pet Shop Boys, Backstreet Boys, Atomic Kitten...

Sorry, but you're pushing it to a ridiculous extreme.  No one is threatening lawsuits.  As I said before quite clearly, I expect some recognizable element of the original track to be present.  So I ask again - what is it about this track that tells YOU it's a remix and not an original composition with "KLF remix" slapped on it?  Now, to be fair it DOES contain the line "i wanna see you sweat" but it's certainly not Wanda Dee nor is it sung in that style.  This could just as well be a remix of Dee's track.
