First thing, a remix of "Fear Factory" called "Fear Factory"? Tsk. ;)

That aside, this is a cool mix. From the start, it just grabs your attention with a typical four-on-the-floor beat and other nice percussion. Nice ring effects kick in around 0:33, and a cool synth kicks in around the same time. A little bit later, a short, high synth kicks in with part of the melody, but it's a little hard to hear. Skipping ahead, the next part of the melody kicks in around 2:08, but again, it's a little hard to hear. Skipping ahead AGAIN, to around 2:48 another part of the melody plays, which is one of my fave parts, and bLiNd remixes it with style, even if the melody's a little low in volume.

The rest of the song runs in kind of a similar vein, but it's very cool, even if some melody volumes are too low and sounds distorted. Props to bLiNd.

Wow man, this really rocks. There are so many little details going around in here its hard to keep track. My favorite part is at 2:47. Its so pretty there. Very very nice stuff dude. Also, you must teach me how to master like this. Awesome.

Ooh, this is catchy. It doesn't vary a whole lot from the original's structure, but it's interpreted extremely nicely. The whole thing builds gradually and smoothly - it grabs your attention, but in a gentle way (if that makes any sense). The melody's a little quiet... it's more of a subtle flow rather than something prominent throughout the song, but it works well. I love that bit starting at around 2:49 - a beautiful interpretation of the original version. Very stylish stuff.

The awesomest! This is the kind of trance I want to hear. I love the additional drums at 2:05

Yea the lead can be a little quiet, but it was intentional. And like Kureejii Lea said, Its gotta be subtle with this style, I didnt want so much in your face type sounds. Oh and the title just goes with PMM titles of the past (the original track name). Thanks for the great words :)

Oh hell yeah Ive always like this track from Donkey Kong Country and have been waiting for a remix like this. Kick ass!

It's bLiNd trance, so of course it's good. I was impressed with a demo clip released earlier, and the full song is every bit as good. I'm really looking forward to the PMM Trance album. As pretzel said, if this song is any indication, the album is going to rock.

My eyes lit up when I saw a new mix from bLiNd. Awesome stuff! I love the light feel of the melody. Very cool take on the song, and a wonderful trance masterpiece :D

bLiNd managed to impress me with his Blue Vision remix (currently in my faves), and with this work on my favorite song in DKC he has created a just a stunning track. :D Then again I may be saying that because I'm a bit of a trance-head... :P
Ahem... great use of percussion and SFX, a fine structure to boot, and a wise choice of delays on the piano notes near the start! However, the only problem I can find is a bit too much reverb used, but that doesn't spoil the mix dramatically ^^;
