Great track, with only one glaring problem. You didn't use the "baby" section of the vocals, which makes them sound incomplete, lik they just trail off. You need these endings imo to complete the phrase.

Other than that, its amazing.

Yeah, nice track this is, with some high potential. I actually also don't think the vocals fit this track very well, as was the case with almost all of the remixes entered in the competition.

But if I were you I would have a re-look at this track and cut the vocals away and turn it into a new track. Because the basis is really original and cool. That breakbeat stuff you have going on is really rockin and combined with the trance sounds, it seems like they blend together.

So cut the vocals, have another look at the track and finish it!

Cut the vocals ? No way man. You've got yourself a great remix here.

Firstly, thank you all for your comments, they're appreciated and noted.

"Sirocco": That "effect"-sound you're talking about (I guess) is just a basic saw+pulse-sound with a rising cutoff-envelope. Don't really know what else I could tell about that, don't those appear pretty much in every song nowadays?

State Of Matter: Hahaha, I disagree. I hate that "baby" after every phrase, makes the vocals sound too much "pop" for me.

Ally_the_Bruce, mantisnl & iLLicit: I've heard lots of comments like that and I'm having some real trouble deciding whether or not I'll make a new edit. But I think this track wouldn't have the same feeling if I removed the vocals. Dunno, we'll see, maybe I'll make a re-work of this...

And to everyone who has asked a high quality mp3 of this: Sorry, can't do that, Anjunabeats own the copyrights.

wow...simply amazing remix, love that breakdown. Did you not make the top 10 for the Naked Angel comp?

Yes I believe he was the #1 winner, hehe.

I really like it!! Am a bit sick of the original A&B mix, so this is really refreshing. The production is absolutely superb!

The only bit that sounds a bit strange in my opinion is just that I keep expecting to hear the "baby" vocal.. it doesn't lose anything because you haven't included it.. it's probably just because the original's been so overplayed

But yeah, absolutely spot on remix. I haven't heard any other entries into the competition but i'm genuinely shocked this wasn't higher placed!

Cheers everyone, I'm glad you like it.

meh..

not bad.

This is great. Personally I don't think the "baby"s are needed at all - apart from the last one because the vocals end up on a different key or something otherwise. Hmmm... I'm not good at explaining.

This is a fantastic take on the original though. Listened to it a hell of a lot now.
