I certainly agree that many remixes do follow the notion of the remixer as producer; it’s just a matter of personal taste for me.
As objective as I try to be, ReViews do have to include the writer’s personal opinion to some degree. =)
But that said, your points are valid and it’s gratifying to get an artist/producer/remixer’s perspective. I thank you very much!

1. In the case of the Baye + Deckard remix,
the bass parts were written and performed by Charles LaBarbara (Deckard).

2. I understand and share the reviewers passion for adventurous remixes, especially regarding arrangements. However, another perspective I personally like to entertain is that of “remix as co-production”. I like to envision certain remixes as what the original song would sound like if the remixer were hired as producer by the band. In this way I can more appreciate remixes that don’t focus on altering the original arrangement. Just figured I’d share.

Thanks!
