LOVE IT! Urban, sophisticated (thanks to that fretless), and still pulsing with the right message. And I’m always honoured to be mashed up with snowflake. :)

Thanks captain! You are really blowing your lungs out in this one and that’s when your voice is pure gold - just where you reach your top modal voice register.

this is really great. love the bass line, the band, the arrangement. the treatment of the vocal in the chorus is great. the placement and treatment of Admiral Bob’s vocal is powerful. you are a hit maker Mr Hurme :) thank you for this fantastic remix.

second listen. even better the second time. the pitch shifting on ‘one world is breathing’ is a brilliant change. The voicings of the chords gives the song an entirely new feel.

Thanks dude ;) I’m really happy you liked it. I didn’t listen your original tune at all to not be influenced by your arrangement. Now I can go an listen to it. ;)

very smart. sometimes i wonder if i should put the pells up without piano even to leave more of a blank canvas? what do you think?

I actually have no opinion on that. It all depends on so many factors like if it’s fullmoon or my socks are of different pair. ;) Sometimes I do like to know what the creator had in mind and try to go from there.

this has some really great elements. some parts get a little busy, but i think it adds character.

Thanks J. Brushing the snare’s skin sounds kinda cool in this context.

Really admire your mastering skills. Always 100% solid and powerful but never in the red.

Thanks Timbster! I have to admit I went abit overboard with this remix and it lacks some detail. I usually don’t push this hard. I used three fast wideband limiters in series. ;) I don’t use multiband compressors/processors - don’t like what they do with the sound.
