very nice—-wasnt clicking with me at first with just the strings but when those chimes and beat kicked in it all came together—lovely stuff.

How very beautiful. A less proffessional producer would have drenched the song in those strings layers but this mix is just perfect.

Nicely performed scott. Felt you could have crushed the highs off the beats a little , but some nice alternative chords happening in this one.

Hey - good to see you here again.

I agree with AT that I wasn’t sure at first, but once the synth pad joined the strings it all clicked. I love the harmonies and the production is bang on - like Per said you balanced it just right.

Nice one.

This is gorgeous, Scott. I love the small silences you’ve allowed, the pace and spaciousness and the way queeniemusic’s stunning a cappella seems to pour slowly into the music. Yep, I absolutely love it. xxxx

Another amazing remix, Scott! The juxtaposition of ancient and modern is very lush, the middle section is great esp. in the treatment of the vocal.

A gentle and sensitive backing for a gentle voice. Nothing is overdone here, even the light 80s style drum machine tapping, is perfect.

Lucky guy..!
Lucky guy, because i have too, here and there, some pieces of idea, sleeping in the hardrive. but those ideas never want to work with a new material.
But, for you, it does, it works, and very well too.
Very beautiful.
Subbtle balance between those strings and the vocal.
Great sound..!!
