Some really creative sound usage and processing here. A real dirty texture throughout the song that I fancy. The arrangement is pretty nice, maybe not one that take many unexpected turns and switching up a lot but still enough to make it an arrangement. Though personally I would've liked some chord change-ups during the first half of the song because it gets stale quickly, but I can live with it.
The arpeggios are like gods gift to man and the section at halfway through is a nice break from what was becoming quite repetitive. Nice break into a more melodic section after that.
Overall good mix that, while it gets repetitive easily, is creative enough in the sound department to sit good with me. Nice.

Very very interesting indeed... After reading the description, I was afraid I wasn't going to actually be able to recognize the song (it's been a while since I've heard the original). Been lookin' for a Mysterious Woods song that I like for a while (They're all Funky... which, while sensical, isn't my style really)

Anyway, Love the little work in of the song of awakening in the intro, it's REALLY hard to hear, but it's there :)

All in all, I like it .

It was an interpretive, well-put-together arrangement. The rules haven't changed much. I'll just attribute those last two comments to some sort of Hispanic racism versus trackers and Swedes.

I get that this is a noise mix, but I honestly don't think it sounds good. Very creative arrangement though. I like lo-fi, like in Fragments of Gold, but this is a little too dirty for me. I doubt I'll listen to this again. That said, I'm not suggesting others won't either - I'm sure there are people who like this, too.

Sorry to be so negative but a lot of this sounds accidental. Could just be that I don't love the style, but it's also crazily repetitive especially given the terrific source melody.

Gets pretty creative near the middle tho...

No, this isn't a noise mix. I submitted a noise mix, and it got turned down. This ReMix doesn't make any sense at all to me.
