Thanks to everyone for their feedback on this piece. I feel compelled to give a brief description of it as well, as it is the tune I am most proud of up to date, remix wise. The title "Lost in Jungle" refers to the transition into the 4/4 part near the end of the track. With the adding of the 4/4 kick, the breakbeats all of a sudden felt a little bit like elements from a jungle tune (as in the style of music - jungle). "Lost in" felt good as I was faced with a problem - the track took a complete new direction and I didn't want to loose the feeling of the previous parts, but I still wanted it to progress into the double tempo. So I got kind of lost in the arrangement! The 1.04 piano thing that is mentioned, was very much intentional. When I first started working on this project, I played around with improvisation with the same basic chord structure of the original track but with a different melody. To give it an extra spark I play the first part one octave up, and at 1.04 it drops to one octave down. To enhance the difference, I just released the sustain pedal on my piano. I do the same thing now when I play this piece acoustically. Looking back at the project now I feel the mix would have benefited from compression on certain elements, and the bass has too much sub frequencies. Never the less it is one of my favourites. I'm happy it got published and want to thank everyone for taking their time to listen to it, and posting comments on it. Cheers, Johan Krafft
