UH oh!

I guess it's my fault for not including the link, but this version is very out of date!!!

This is a very old version, before I did major work on most of the problems that djpretzel mentioned! ahh!!

If you can change it to this one, I'd be very much obliged!

-Daniel

EDIT - Fixed! Thanks djp, you rock.

A real Baranowsky favorite of mine. This, like many of his pieces, I hear through its entire developement.
At first, the sound quality wasn't all that sharp as his samples were pretty bland, but what hit me the most was that even with crappy samples the song still rocked. He broke right through that barrier with the right application of skill and technique. It was a nice advocate for the promotion of skill over sample quality, which is what I'm all about.

And now... its the same song with much better samples, so a bonus :)

Very nice.

Cool. The drums are hot and cold. Not all the piano chords seem to fit; some seem to create "bad dissonance" to me, although I am musical riff-raff, and have supposedly committed crimes against jazz myself , so meh. The piano sample itself brings this mix down a bit (I would have preferred a wurly-rhodes or some other kind of electric piano). The part with the sax is my favorite - the defining moment of this remix!

Epic. Yes, it's cheesy, but I can aquire taste for that kind of stuff quickly. :D

Wow, this is elevator music. This is really something that would be played in an elevator or doctor's office. Quite nice.

around 1:16 the tempo changes with the introduction of a bass and later what sounds like a distorted guitar. it's almost too soft but it lends a nice background as the pianos come back. I really like the bass here, seems like you've spent some time on it. it does its own thing while following the other instruments at the same time (especially around 2:19).

At 2:23 you add some more percussion elements which again keep the song interesting without taking over. Around 3:23 is an organ and 3:32 a sax while the drums switch to hi-hats while...lots of instruments keep entering and exiting and returning. No complaints with the ending.

This whole song is just a school in variation, melodically and instrumentally. Top notch work, especially with the drums.
