Frankly, the guitar doesn't bother me, and I'm one of those people who'll cringe when things are out of tune. I swear there's reasoning between the differences in pitch between strings. Outside of the interesting guitar line, the flute sample kills those first 5 seconds for me. If it weren't for the fact that I know some good guitar work was coming in the next 10 seconds, I'd probably have to stop the song.

This is definitely much improved over the last version (the submission to OCR was the last version I listened to). You've addressed a lot of the issues brought up by the panel and then some, so I'm going to say if you're satisfied with this, then submit. The world needs more ReMixes of IIDX stuff.

The only thing that could cause one to not enjoy this song is the fact that the vocalist is naturally sharp or flat of the instrumentation (I'm not sure which, but I'm going to guess sharp), but for the most part, it does little to detract from the overall quality of the song. The key change is the very standard whole tone up, so nothing out of the ordinary there, though it is a little sudden. Of course, the song just makes me want to dance. The world needs more Bust a Groove remixes.

The flute work seriously reminds me of early King Crimson, some of those runs are almost identical to those in "In the Court of the Crimson King". Other than that, the only thing I didn't really like was the sudden change-up in beats around the three minute mark. Brilliant, brilliant flute work.
