Ah, the mighty John Steenbergen returns! Been looking out for a new clip from you for awhile mate!
Very nice take on the original - love it.
Hmmm..... Like the notes you're using at 3:08 in the pad - don't like the piano though I'm afraid - sounds too sample-y to my ears, maybe more long reverb or something to give it an epic feel.
Love what you've done with this - can hear even more potential - wish there was more made of the counter-melody that comes in after the kick-off just after 4 minutes i.e. went by itself for a bit, got a bit more dominant in the mix or even took the tune by itself (at the moment it's there but a bit in the background) .
Does sound a little lacking in the bass dept too, like it's there but not all there, y'know?
I like this very much, dude your progress is encouraging - in the short time I've been on these boards you improve all the time!
Take it easy!

thanks for the reply mate! i didnt knew i was improving really appreciate your words
*sorry to bump this up again, i'll let it die know*
I like the intro. Very pro. I like the bass riff, but not so much the sample. The sample seems kinda...plain. breakdown is cool. I'm gonna have say that the main lead is cheesy, but then again, i find a lot of trance cheesy. Nice job overall

thanks nic, good to see you posting here again
i know the remix is a bit happy (i guess i was happy too), but is it really that cheesy?
Cool intro percussion, bass could use some stereo delay to give it some movement and stereo spread. cool piano and synth. i like the subtle sounds you used..when everything comes to gether i love it, great remix man.
sounds pretty nice, there are a few things tho:
-the bassline, kinda simple
-could use some strings backing the melody up
i love the rest tho, got some very nice sounds in it
really appreciate your words
), but is it really that cheesy?
