A nice effort. Everything fitted together well and the producing was pretty good but the tune did nothing for me, I'm afraid. I found it quite predictable and shallow. There were moments that didn't flow very well, like the transition from bass to lead at 0:30. Other parts were rather more successful and felt quite good. The powertools thing was a nice idea but it felt a little restrained. If he'd really gone all out, complimenting the power tools by screwing up the rest of it, he would probably have sold it to me better.

A nice attempt, competently mixed but with few surprises, it felt like it was tentatively mixed. Plunge in at the deep end and I think it'll do your music the world of good :)

Default Not to bad.

All in all, not bad at all. I've never played the game but will try soon. There is that strange transition when its sounds as if you're in a factory with that bass line going...just...really different.

Default great song

the quality of this song is very good. Great song to design a remix for too. The bass and drum used makes the remix really good. The effects
that you used weren't too overpowering which allows for easy listening even though the song has a relatively quick tempo. Keep remixing Life Force it's got some great tracks. Good work dude. :D

Cool, another quality Life Force remix with some nice industrial touches.

Now if only someone would remix the divine song from the third (fire) level and I can die a happy man.

good job. i think the old-school techno vibe was ok. hehe reminds me too much of my old tracker days 10 years ago.

anyways, we need more life force remixes grrr.. this is the second remix of the same tune.. Life Force has SOOooOOoo many good tunes to remix. Even the first stage tune is great, although a bit hard to remix. Especially if someone remixes stage 3's tune.. omg thats so damn hot.

Definately a different feeling then Wingless's remix. This remix is more mellow than The Wingless's rendition. I enjoyed the introduction of the drums and the synth strings. The hardware section adds a lot of bite but made me feel kind of awkward, like you were throwing something intresting for the "break it down" section (quite literally with the tools used). I agree with Blue Blazer, its not overpowering and the song is easy to listen too. It flowed right into the ending melody. I remixed the 2nd level (in Works In Progress section - Lifeforce - Enter the Salamander). Palpable's remix made me rethink the strategy of my own remix. =] Keep up the good work.

Much enjoyed and worth a listen.

nice mix, I like the 80-ish techno theme. I just wish the bass was a bit deeper. I feel my sub should have gotten a workout with this song a certain points IMO.

Not much love for Life Force it seems. What's this doing on page 29? Doesn't deserve that at all.

Great stuff from Vinod, who's a very consistant arranger who I wish we heard more from. Adds a lot of energy to the source material with a fresh approach.

Glad it passed, although I didn't feel it was a borderline case myself back when I read the decision.

this is a decent mix, but really the power tool section made it stand out a lot more than it otherwise would have, and I think that more of that throughout the song would have improved it. A few transitions could have been a little stronger with the use of better fills, but overall the flow was good. Synths were a bit default sounding, but they were balanced well and didn't detract.
Regardless, the more power tools, the better.
