Apparently people don't recognize a good guitar when they hear it, and apparently I'm going to be a major dissenter on the issue, but I'd argue that the introduction of said guitar at 2'09 is what makes this track work so well. It's called juxtaposition, people! Taking two things dissimilar in nature (viola/elec. guitar) and putting them side-by-side to highlight the contrast. IMHO, it works EXTREAMLY well here. The result? One of the greatest remixes on OCR to date. The vocals were just awesome as well. They conjur up images of an Elvin princess singing to herself in the woods, or something to that effect... 10/10, easily.
Exactly, thank you. That's what I was getting at. People need to look at this with an open mind, which I seem to have no trouble doing since I didn't even notice the difference when it went from happy flutey stuff to the electric guitar because the contrast fits so well. Heck, I hardly ever notice transitions on my first listen, especially when it's done as well as it is here.
