Not a fan of Ayn Rand, but I am a fan of this! Intelligent music that grooves has been my favourite type of music since The Police came on the scene.
The parallels between the decay of society Atlas portrayed and the economic and political conditions we hear about today are really well portrayed in this. Melodically, you’ve nailed it - there’s no way anyone wouldn’t know that this is how the song was originally recorded. :) |
.
to even have the hint of being tangentially related to The Police is enough to make me faint.
yea, i don’t subscribe to every perspective of Ms. Rand, but there are some key ones that seem to hit pretty squarely with the truth. thanks for such a nice review. |

Once again Emily, you demonstrate your masterful artistry in your unique ability to transform your thoughts/experience into something we can all appreciate. Clearly, the theme of this event has touched your roots as a citizen, and as an artist. Excellent work indeed!

Whoa- you are on one heck of a roll… This is another impressive track. Your use of dynamics is… well, dynamic. :) And ditto to SackJo’s comments on how you use your voice. Rock.

I remember reading Atlas Shrugged (Neil Peart is to blame for that), but I never managed to finish it, because I couldn’t identify with any of the characters at the time.
Anyway, I very much like what you did with the stems. Not only your excellent vocals, but also your great re-arrangement of the backing track. I am not the most prolific uploader of source material, because most of the time I doubt the usefulness of my material to others. So your’s (and Jeris’) use of the swing state is appreciated very much, probably more than you can imagine. |

I love your songwriting but I think your remixes are even more brilliant! I think it takes you a bit out of your comfort zone in a good way :)

Like the rhythmic edge of the mix, Emily. Has legs.

I just listen to Subliminal original version and was blown away. You add the cherry on top with your stellar vocals. Silly me, gave up my Editorial rights, but if i was Ed this this would be a pick.
Hey Ed !!!!! you need to jump all over this and while your at it, give some love to Subliminal. In the ipod and on repeat. |

This is fantastic, I’ve been waiting for a sung a-cappella for this project with so many spoken words, and a more aggressive way of singing. it’s really a shame it came so late and I was out in the weekend so I couldn’t make a remix of this in time for the strike-the-root project deadline! if not for the deadline, I will do it for pleasure alone.

thank you for your kind review. although the project deadline has past, Lessig wont finalize his curation for a few weeks - so there is time for more remixes :) i can’t wait to hear yours (i listen to your Emergence remix of Mind Map That all the time!!)
