Love that smoove bossa nova sound. I think the source is prevalent enough, and like previous mixes that stylistically rely heavily on the idea of improvisation, this one is solid in that regard.
Also stopwatching stuff like this "1:31-1:36, 1:37-1:43" is just plain silly. Really, the 96th second of the mix doesn't count? I roll my eyes at you.
I went back and listened to this one again, and I realize I was probably too lenient the first time around. I absolutely love this track, but the melodic/harmonic elements start to deviate from the source far too much.
If you plan on a resub I'd like to hear more parts with the original more prominently featured.
NO, resub
