Not sure what Redux means?
Why not call it remix?

    Hmmm that sounds like a most likely reason for the name.

    It's in tribute to Apocolypse Now: Redux -- I hear that the guys are big fans of re-releases of Larry Fishbburne's early work.

    I'm pretty sure it's french or more likely Latin ...I know a lot of people pronounce it how it's spelled... but I've also heard it as Re-do...like to do something again, only differently...

    From Dictionary.com
    Origin:
    1650–60; < L: returning (as from war or exile), n. deriv. (with pass. sense) of redūcere to bring back; see reduce

    they have the pronunciation as "ri-ducks"

    From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redux

    The term has been adopted by film-makers to denote a new interpretation of an existing work by the restoration of previously removed material. This trend began with Apocalypse Now Redux, which Francis Ford Coppola released in 2001, re-editing and extending his original 1979 movie.

    It has also been used by music producers to describe what is more often referred to as a remix.

    sure, that's an easy one...why can't anyone tell me what the heck is going on in the middle of "In My Tree"?? who can tell me THAT!

    it sure sounds as if it should be played backwards

    :lol:
    seriously made me laugh...inside....i am at work in my cube, and it is eerily quiet today. :P
    and i've always pronounced it 're-ducks' as well, never heard it as 're-do'....but then again, my french has always sucked, and i do believe it's based on french, not latin....but of course, i am no where near 100% on that. i am surprised how many did not know this word tho. :?
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow
