I liked it, but read below - too similar to the original...? -djp

If my last submission had something for everyone, then this is the
exact opposite. When I first began this remix, it was nothing
particularly out of the ordinary. But when I ran it through the MP3
encoder, it warbled and garbled a lot of the samples up, and from that
point on I thought: "What if I did that myself to the samples?" So I
thought I'd give it a shot. I clipped and cut the hell out of the
samples--whether you like it or not is a matter of taste. Add to it the
old record, kids playing ambience, and choo choo train stuff, and it is
*definitely* not for everyone. It may not even be for *anyone*.

Despite all that, I think, this is one of the more interesting examples
of a mix with a very strict musical interpretation in addition to a
very loose technical interpretation. The music is more or less the same
with some added chords and beats and little things here and there
(countermelody, harmony, etc.) But the overall effect little
technicalities have on the overall atmosphere of the song is huge.

I hope you think so anyway.

And I won't be offended if you reject or request some changes, although
I am so fond of this mix I probably won't be modifying it too much.

Lastly, I have a DnB mix that is a bit more mainstream, and that FFA
mix which I've put away. So don't think I've surrendered to yippy
skippy avant garde madness : )

Exactly the same as the original so far. Lets see where it goes...


Uh.. I dont think so. This is exactly the same as the original save for 1 or two tiny modifications and some simple drums.

Has sort of an Circus Contraption charm to it in the ickiness of it all, but
the closeness to the original kills it for me.

I am loving the applied sounds, but as the mixer himself said, this is a very strict interpretation, and unacceptably so.

nice work with the sounds, i'd like to see more people taking these sorts of sonic risks (that's not to say i'll ever get bored of detuned saws or acid basslines.. because i probably won't). and the choo-choo train is a nice touch (:

i'm keeping this, and i urge you post it on the Finished forum because more people would like it than you think. but it seems the panel is in agreement that this would require more melodic/harmonic/stylistic/whateverdoesnothavetodowiththesamples expansion from the original than what is given thus far.
