This was really cool. I didn't think there was enough piano work like djp said, I wouldve liked to hear some left hand action in that piece. Still really good though =).

Another great, solid work from DS. I was expecting the lack of substantial piano to bother me, being the rabid piano fan that I am, but I feel the minimal piano actually blended quite nicely with the other elements.

I like this mix. It may not have the Shariq polishing, but it definitely has the Shariq core. I think that the amazing thing about Darkesword's mixing style is that he can turn any song into an enjoyable memory. Heat Vision doesn't lose that sparkle for me. It does sound a little more incomplete than the rest of his mixes, but the "feel" I get from his remixes was still there.

Keep 'em coming Darkesword!

Bravo!! I love that use of the piano :) and the breaks transitioning into other sections were brilliant

Intro took me off guard as really off beat while all the different layers set in. But that's what I get for not listening to much jazz.

It's not really jazz so much as...jazzy.

Or jazzish.

Jazz-like?

wtf STOP MAKING ENJOYABLE MUSIC THAT EVERYONE CAN RELATE TO!
...so frigging annoying...



In all seriousness though this was a pretty good rendition. I was expecting something like power-metal-ish kick you in the head lead and some kind of cranky-sounding audio, but instead was treated to this smooth-talking streetwalker who just scammed me out of all my money and made me like it.

So. Damn. Good. Yet another phenomenal mix by DarkeSword.

I noticed about half way into it that I was compulsively tapping my foot. I really like this one and I can tell it's only going to grow on me.

I thought it was very creative where it went at 2:10 and even more awesome how it leads back in at 3:00. More piano work might have been cool but I wouldn't dare say there is a lack thereof. I also liked the cutesy outro. Great job.

Loving it.

Sweet remix. I really enjoy the laid back feel because that is the kind of vibe I get from the source track. Well done!

The opening is fantastic, swinging the bass. Doing that alone made this mix win. Everything else is icing on the cake.

This was one of my favorites on VARIAtions. Love the style for this mix, and I enjoy it a lot more than the original track. Nice work DS!
