We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

Vatteri, that was not good of you.
DJ, laziness is no virtue.

What on earth happened to the Starbase Commander track?  The original was my favorite song out of the entire game.  This remix is nice, but it's not Starbase Commander. 
PS: Emoticons rule.

It helps if you know how we thought when we made these remixes. While we'd like to be loyal to the originals in many cases, there are also situations where we feel that, for one reason or another, we have ideas that are better than the originals.
Take the Starbase remix made by Tore Fjellstad and I, for example. The original was pretty plain and straightforward. We took that as a basis and made something completely different, that arguably represents the scene where it is played far better than the old one could.
In some of the upcoming remixes, we took this further than in the remixes you've heard so far. Some remixes are very very different from the originals and only contain subtle references that link them at all. To enjoy these properly, you need to approach the music with a fresh perspective, and see how the music fits the race instead of how the music fits the old music. I know that some of you won't be able to do that. For you, there's always the option of using the old music instead.

If it's any consolation to me, I just noticed that Riku made the original Starbase Commander as well as this remix. He does have the right to replace his old track. I don't like the new one nearly as much, but I agree that it fits the mood a little better.
Now for the ditties I didn't like:
Chmmr: Bah. I'd like it if it were badass or maybe mystical. This is neither.
Slylandro Probe: Flutes are nice, but there's nothing flutey about these. I even liked the VUX ditty a bit, which also has a flute.
Yehat: Sounds like a buzz or something. Don't like it.
Illwrath: It's not evil. It's not creepy. It's not much of anything.
