Pfft. I've been a silent fan of OCR and other mixing communities for nearly a decade now, but I think people are way too uptight about this whole music arrangement thing. Your song is awesome, Freddie, and it deserves to be heard, whether the judges at OCR deem it worthy of their server space or not. I say congratulations on a skillful and highly enjoyable remix--it'll make my playlist, that's for certain. Hell, I'll even host it for you if you'd like... I don't mind.
Maybe this is one reason why a panel of musical judges ends up failing in so many people's eyes. We're looking for game arrangements here if you ask me. Perhaps OCR ought to divide their offerings into two separate categories: rearrangements and complete remixes. Because as far as I'm concerned, both are equally stimulating in their own fashion, and when stuff like this man's work here doesn't make the grade, you know something might be wrong.
