I stand corrected. Well maybe I was gushing a bit.
Hm. Compare eh?
To be perfectly honest, if it aint broke, don't fix it. The new version is fancier, and it does have better sound quality as well as more creative arrangement. However, when the flute and strings changed so dramatically, I found that the bass and guitar, which were at least similar to the originals, felt slightly out of place. This may be because I'm used to the first version, but yeah, just seemed a little akward.
Now, the new version is better, no denying it, but not by much.
Still, good work. Cheers.
