First Psy Trancer just hit the Switchback contest... Get a move on Cyber and represent.
(For the record, I think the sample use of the one i'm referring to was crummy, you could do much better.)

Ah, I just heard your remix 3F05Q. Pretty great job with the beat and the vocals. Good luck with your entry!
I just made my submission for my Switchback remix, should be up in the next days I hope. Progressive Trance
All you guys, thanks a lot for the comments. MegaMan bro, I know what you mean about the mastering. Its lacking a little punch indeed. I listened to it way too much so I got used to the "wrong" sound. Sometimes you gotta take a break and a little distance to your tune.

Thanks man, I just submitted a revision for it too... with a bit more vocal treatment at the end.
Well, I WAS going to submit a prog trance version... guess not now! I do have 3 other remixes to finish up, actually. The one I just submitted I only started on a couple days ago. Worked on it from 4-7am... hence "Morning Beats".
Looking forward to hearing yours!

Hmm, better late than never...
It's very 'Cybernetica', regardless of what kind of genre you care to be throwing at it. The percussion after the intro gets a little cluttered and fiddly in spots. Just felt a little like you where trying to pack a little too much in there when it could have been simpler served ticking along on a snare or rolling bassline before you let rip with the synth riffing through the rest of it, which I did like a lot and it rolls along very well to hold the track together.
The vocals tend to get a bit lost in places as well, I don't pretend to know what to do there in terms of suggestion as it's also never going to be easy working into a track with this much drive and energy.
Overall though it's different to what you normally put out and aside from a few little flaws it's an interesting divergence, just a pity you didn't get it into the competition.
