Aww, I was hoping for a Halloween remix. :P
Ah, well. When I first heard this, I thought "This is an awful lot like the original"... And even when I was done with it, I still thought the same thing. However, I still think this was worthy of being posted, as it stays pretty close to the original, while being different at the same time. And you gotta love that guitar solo.

I love the restraint in this piece. It's smooth, cool, and yet has some tension. The guitar is perfect.
I'm going to break with DJPretzel and say I don't think a "balls-to-the-wall" solo or improvisation would have benefited the piece any, but this is mostly due to a personal preference. Personally, I like precision in music. Make it emotional, make it *feel*, but at the same time make it precise and crafted. Improvisation and such may add a "human" touch, but to my ears that human touch always feels more like a flaw. I like some pieces that are heavily improvised, but on the whole I prefer pieces like this. Something with some underlying depth (love the drums and bass in here), a little passion (nice synth and guitar usage) and yet some precision in it's makeup. So to me, this piece is superb. ~Buster

Love the guitar. Better than the original in my opinion. Nothing special about the rest of the song though. The filtering on the drums was good but then there was nothing more. I was expecting it to get a little heavier in the drum section.
Still, that guitar makes this piece an instant favourite for me. What's more, you mananged to get a piece in that has nothing but the instruments changed from the original. way to go. :)

Before going and listening to this song, i had to state the facts. I didn't like the original song, but i loved the Majestic remix by Ailsean and Dale North (i think) so i had high hopes for this one. When i started listening, i was nodding my head to the beat and the simple but well composed tune. And then the guitar came in...
I know its wrong to make any comparisons to Ailsean's guitar playing, and most likely Sonicade ws not TRYING to get the mix to sound like Ailsean's mix, HOWEVER throughout the entire guitar section, i couldnt stop thinking : "Ailsean's is better. The notes are fuller. The playing is more experienced. ETC." I still liked this remix MUCH. However, once you have heard a good version of the song, all other remixes of the same song do not live up to the caliber of the best. Sorry. I give it an 8/10.

Oh come on... the guitar in this is GREAT. Someone else might be better, but all I can think of, while listening to this is... I like listening to this. I have to kindof bob my entire body to the beat while listening to it. The guitar WORKS. I love it. I would have loved to hear more, honestly... I think I agree with pretzel on that issue, but for what this offers, I enjoy it. I enjoy it a lot.

I think this functions vert well as an updated version of the original, but not so much as a remix. "Few risks" is right.
Clean, chill percussion is always a pleasure. The guitar solo is very fitting. I am definitely keeping this remix. The aural balance in this mix is something to aspire to.

I can't get this out of my head. I've been playing cards with some mates and kept singing out loud. They ended up kicking me out.
This guitar is just awesome. I don' t know of any others, but regardless of who can play better this one fits perfectly. I forgot to give it a rating before. But I give it 8/10, only because it didn't stray from the original at all, and the percussion didn't jump to where I expect. Still in my top 10.

I know everyone's thinking it so just go ahead and say it: This mix is worthless because SafetyInNumbers is of the same peice and is a hundred times better.
Even if this song were to be good, every time you heard it you would compare it to SafetyInNumbers, and be disappointed. SafetyInNumbers is a great remix, and this does not nearly live up to a comparison.

The first 1:07 sounds almost exactly like a remix I eventually abandoned of this track. That said, I like the choice of instruments and the composition in general is great. However, this mix didn't really deviate much from the original piece, so it basically amounts to the original with different instruments. I suppose it's still pleasant enough to go in my collection.
