Excellent drums. I think that element of this song is basically perfect. The supporting synths and FX help fill out the picture nicely. I sort of wish the strings sounded fuller but I can understand why you toned them down. Great song, dude.

I'd say this is your best work yet, but I've already heard what you're doing next, so I can't really it say it, can I?

All the same, awesome job on this. The percussion and FX are spot-on Gregson-Williams.

I gotta agree, those drums are amazing. Incredibly crisp and well balanced. The synths are great too, and things ebb and flow very well. Melodically there isn't a ton going on, but this track has always been about the textures, and they are completely captivating.

Nothing but props from me.

Oops, thought I commented on this already.

Yeah, the drumwork is superb. OA was right on about the textures too, lush and spacious. Great job, sir.

I agree with everything said, Tweek did a great job with this, and there are great effects done to the piece. I'm not crazy about the source tune, and it carries into the mix, unfortunately. It's just not enjoyable to listen to, even with all the cool stuff Tweek's done to it.

I can appreaciate the work he did, but it's not a keeper for me. It will, however, go on my OCHalloween Mixtape.

Man. I've always been a fan of more ambient tracks like this one. It sounds awesome. It's reminiscent of the days of CotM.

Drums are absolutely diabolical , fits the tone and source tune really well.

My hat goes off to you, good sir. (Tips hat)

I love mixes like that with limited source material.

Anybody else notice that the theme at 0:45 is the same theme as the one in Symphony X's album V : The Mythology Suite. Sweet stuff.

The ambiance here is definitely heavy and tense. The dirty synths contrasts well with the cleaner drum sounds to create a thick texture. I love the production on this one.

The only gripe I have with this mix is that the song seems to lack direction. The different parts could pretty much be used interchangeably. But, I guess that was the artist's intention and with such great sounds and ideas, that is entirely forgivable.

good work
