Gario ⚖️ Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 Previous Decision Oioioi This one's an 8-year old track I thought I had to revisit. Hope it expresses what I meant better than before!

MindWanderer Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 8 years later Obviously I wasn't around back then to hear your original submission, but you sure know what you're doing now! It's a gorgeous, clean soundscape with great energy and an exciting mix of electronic and Asian instruments. Well worth the wait. YES
Chimpazilla ⚖️ Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 I wasn't around for the first version either, but I'm loving this version. Great energy, good arrangement, mix is clean. I love the mix of instrumentation. Very enjoyable! YES
Liontamer ⚖️ Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Nice to have something join djp's version of this theme on OCR; I'm so conditioned by Dave's arrangement, that it struck me as odd when I heard the differences in the original song compared to his take, so that just shows how long it's been since I've listened to any of this. It's been 9 years since I've heard the rejected version of this, so I supposed the old expression fits: "You've come a long way, baby." Great energy, Guilherme; just a totally different animal compared to the source tune. YES
Gario ⚖️ Posted March 9, 2019 Author Posted March 9, 2019 (edited) Looking back at the prior rejection, it seems that the mixing was apparently an issue, as well as a few strange chords. Doesn't seem like there's any of that, now - it's crisp, important elements pop out just right, and the eclectic instrumentation is clicking superbly throughout. On a separate note, I do love how much different this sounds than the source - whereas one is a melancholy, sobering track, this is upbeat and adventurous. It's always great when OCR tracks can bring such a different light to sources like that, so I'm happy to give this a solid pass along with my colleagues on this one. Great work!
