Definitely a great remix. I haven't had the benefit of hearing the original song, so the rhumba interpretation doesn't bother me at all - I rather like the flavor it brings to the song.
I've got it burned on a CD, among other remixes, and it's loaded up in my car's CD player as I type this. Very nice work.
I'm pleased to have stumbled across Jared's work - it's very refined. I used to follow AE pretty closely (love those Mega Man tunes), but since I downloaded the Metal Gear Solid 2 remix that Jared did, I went and grabbed his other pieces.
Primo stuff.
