What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix.

[Liontamer]

Awesome. Very intense, yet danceable, stuffs. :-)

[Forderz]

Fan-fucking-tastic

[abg]

Man, Top Gear 2 was such a great game, and this is such a great remix! Makes me so happy to hear this :)

[BlackPanther]

This was kickass, great remix.

[evktalo]

Great right from the start. Seriously, I expected this to be good and it's kind of ridiculous that you know when you hear the first drum hit.. I didn't actually expect such a snare sound! Great sounds overall, very balanced and pleasant to listen to.

This is like Ferry Corsten meets bLiNd right here!

I wish I knew the source tune so I could have a better understanding of where it comes from, but frankly, it doesn't even matter. I feel like I'm listening to one of Ferry's old System F tracks (like 'Out of the Blue') vs. one of Ferry's LEF tracks (like 'Beautiful') vs. bLiNd (Duh)...wow.

This is sooo sick dude...

[yosefu]

Bloody brilliant remix. The drum beats are so full of energy.

[Jewbei]

i really like the production and the synth choices it gives it a nice 80's feel in which we dont hear that type of music now days thats that good ass "techno" right there but this also have a very house ish feel to it. i enjoyed this keep up the good work man!

[DarkeSword]

I want to dedicate this one to Darkesword (http://www.ocremix.org/forums/../artist/4482/darkesword) for being so thoughtful, organizing a super metroid get well remix project (http://reservetank.darkesword.com/), and everyone finishing it in 3 weeks time, thats truly remarkable and I dont think anything like that has been done for anyone on ocremix before.

Aw, thanks man. :)

Awesome awesome mix.

[MechaFone]

Whoa. As mentioned before, I knew this was going to be awesome with that first sound. Keeps me nodding my head to the beat, and the sound overall is just incredible. Great 80's feel to it. Great production, don't miss this one!

[UchihaVilu]

w00t, Jordan and Top Gear 2.
OCR, you've yet again made my day.

[Mtlbro]

I was like, searching, but couldn't find, and then got frustrated about. . a melody. Then a buildup, and I'm like, where's this going? And then 1:59, and I'm like: WOW HOLY S*** and now I LOVE this mix.

Makes me dance.

[Gario]

I'm actively trying to get out of my pesky habit of only listening to mixes of games that I recognize and figured a mix by bLiNd would be a good place to start.

Amazing. I haven't even finished listening to it and can already tell you it's amazing. Very, very catchy, and I noticed that it isn't conventional bLiNd, either (conventional bLiNd is good, too; it's just great to see him moving out of his own comfort zone). If you love electronic music, download now. If you don't like electronic music, download now and learn to love it - bLiNd will be your instructor.

[big giant circles]

It's aight, I guess.

by "aight" I mean I've listened to it for like the past 20 minutes

Jordan was kind enough to send this my way well before showing it off at MAGFest this year. He puts forth his spin on Top Gear 2 in a style that's partly his own and partly in the same vein as trance as when it started to move in the early 2000s. Great work here. Dance music fans shouldn't pass this one up. Very easy on the ears and a pleasant dance track all around.

Now if only we'll get to DJ for the next MAGFest...

[zircon]

This mix is absolutely huge. I've been listening to it since MAG and that's all I can say about it. bLiNd is a master producer who's absolutely on the top of the heap when it comes to electronic dance music. Loved dancing to this!

[metalsnakejuice]

l can't stop nodding my head from this mix.
Great job:-P

[Souliarc]

You got my soul pumpin' with this one son!

Production is top notch!

[Arian]

Production is great, don't like the music though... this type of Trance sound more or less originates from my country (Holland) and I've never liked it, nor do I like the crowd who dances to it.
That said, production's great and I do like some other stuff from blind, like the awesome Temple Trance, an OC remix classic.

[John Revoredo]

bLiNd is awesome. Fantastic, fantastic mix.

[Sir_NutS]

This is another remix that came out from my unfinished Top Gear 2 Remix Project (Along with Rayza's awesome remix). There were going to be only a few songs on it, and this was one of the strongest of the pack. Needless to say, it's bLiNd, so you know it's going to be awesome.

Now I need to get off my lazy ass and finish the remix I had prepared for the project so I can get it posted as well.

[Dr.Flintlock]

This is some good listenin' here bois!

I have to say I really like the vocal hits in this monster of a mix. They really add some unique flavor to bLiNd's already fantastic repertoire of electronic music skills.

Sweet stuff. Sold.

[OA]

I've thought this was awesome since first hearing it at magfest, and it is still awesome. Great work, super full sound.

[Hale-Bopp]

Love this mix! God, I'd love to sing to something like this.

[jintoreedwine]

Well, I have never heard the source tune, or even played the game, but this remix is pretty catchy. The part from the beginning to about 1:33 seems a little long and repetitive (perhaps the nature of the genre you were going for?), but once the main theme of the mix kicks in it really starts to get awesome.

Nice work!

[adam2]

Phwoar, powerful mix.

[Toadofsky]

This song finally played on my Mp3 player (I set it to random, and there's like 8 gigs of music on it so yeah, took a while) today, and I was thoroughly impressed. Blind is consistently refining his sound, and it just gets better. Blind, keep up the good work, it's good to see quality dance tracks, especially crafted so well.

[Martin Penwald]

Overall a good remix, but what really stands out are the parts starting at ~2:15 and at ~4:45. Really, really great stuff.

Furthermore, I really like the "vocals" coming in at ~3:45; adds a layer of delicious cheese to the mix.

Very well done.

[Sole Signal]

Went straight onto my trance playlist from the first time I heard it. Epic tune.

[FallenOne]

SAWEET mix friend! I know it's kind of cliche to say this'll be in my playlist for along time but it's so true! Very well done!

[Mockingbird]

This just gets more fun and more awesome every time I listen to it. Great job!

[DarkSim]

As of writing, this is currently #7 on my iTunes "Most Played" list, right after Golbez n Goblins, and closely followed by White Skies. That's a hell of a combo from bLiNd right there, and I always seem to listen to all 3 in one go if I have the time.

The build is certainly long, but it's not boring at all. I love all the false drops that just tease you into thinking it's going to kick off, and when it finally does at 2:15 it's just amazing. The high effervescent synth fizzes along in the chorus, and the unexpected notes in the melody line caught me by surprise at first and really set the mix alight (I'm unfamiliar with the source so don't know if you added those yourself or not). The little break section in the middle is class as well.
