He's updated his site - thanks for the tip. Regarding the mix, it may be best to realize the context it's created for - the club. In spite of the fact that some enjoy spinning U2 remixes during workouts, or during a house party, they're primarily a tool to get club airplay. I imagine this track would be used supplementally, and the dj would insert a just a bit into an extended mix. Oh, good. He’s updated his site - thanks for the tip.

The agonizingly long intro led up to...nothing. Absolutely nothing. I had to turn it off halfway throught because it just gave me a headache. Not a bit fan of it.

I'm generally not a huge fan of U2 remixes, although there are some good ones out there. this was just kind of mediocre. This seemed like an odd song choice to do a remix of but whatever.

It made the song dance-able while still leaving intact the basic lyric of how God has worked in Bono's life. I liked it.

It un-gummed the Rick Rubin version, which I thought was overdone. It must be an alternative take from the single, because Bono's voice sounds a little more raw. The Fast Cars mix, which I hadn't heard before, also is cool. It's also an alternative take, because there are little touches not in the single as well.

I thought it was pure rubbish. It was torture waiting through the opening wasteland only to find Lee had stripped any remnant of the beautiful, full sound from the original song. The big thrill after that was when Lee figured out how to make fire engine sounds with his computer. This is an immensely sub-par remix, and is an utter embarrassment to "acclaimed" producer Lee.
