Hey! There's so much great stuff happening here, but unfortunately I don't think this passes the bar for interpretation. This follows the source almost note for note in every instrument, just swapping out some patches and changing the beat. At 1:05 we get a bit of a breakdown where we depart from the source for about 25 seconds before jumping right back in. 

I do want to laud some positives in this - the mixing is very tight. Your production is on point. I enjoy the choices you made from a sound perspective. This is great, because a lot of remixers, especially with something that has THIS many parts and intricacies, have a hard time getting them all to mesh properly. Your mixing ear is obviously very good here. No muddiness, nothing is too far forward, all the lead parts are functioning as lead parts, etc. The drums, which are complicated, really do sit nicely in the mix. You're a competent engineer - this just isn't interpretive enough to post on OCR. Definitely keep chugging!!!

i love the energy right off the bat. and joe's right, it sounds pretty clean. it's just too close to the original for OCR. the submission standards talk about doing more than reassigning instruments. i'll note there's also some significant copy/paste going on through the middle of the work and when it nears the ending, and the last note is clipped instead of crossfading. i need to admit though that i really dig the vibe! i think it works great. there just needs to be more you and less original for it to fit onto the site.
