Yes master volumn needs to come up a bit...
Oh boy... where to start...
First off, kudos for a very beautiful remix, with all the real sounding instruments!
What was all this talk about repeatitivity? SoS is a whole 23 notes, Mute used 100s. The sound may have SOUNDED repeatitive, but technically was most definently not...
It is manipulative, though... For a while I kept looking out the window... Lets just say that's some real sounding rain!
Damn, where have the minutes gone? for a song EXACTLY 5 minutes long, I enjoyed it a lot!
.... but they are right about needing VARIATIONS of the original... a little SoS, a little original... try some variation, it does a body good!
