luvly bassline!
the 1st synth sounds a bit false tho.. mayb the wrong notes?
anywayz, it sounds very nice in the beginning.. when the main synth comes in, but after that, it looses all its power you continue with that very weak synth.. and its just as if it becomes an whole other track.. a bit strange
Has some nice elements but I don't dig the percussion work at all. For one during the main break, the percussion is louder than the melody, secondly that katana like drum (pretty weak description) is very obnoxious imo, but that's just me.
I'll go with the rest of the folks and say that you should stick to the chilled ver

as im currently working on a communication remix myself, i couldn't resist a listen...
heres a few constructive criticisms for you =) :
* the main riff is definitely outta tune, needs tweaking. It also needs some boosting, its a bit too flimsy.
* IMHO it would sound better if the main riff came in after the first breakdown, rather than having a half climax, breakdown then climax.
Sorry, can't be bothered downloading the chill out version =P so can't offer any advice there, looks like the other posters like it tho, good stuff

Yeah, that hi-hat noise is pretty annoying, its too powerful and it sounds off-sync.
And they're right, it starts off as a chilled mix, and 3 mins in kicks into gear... I haven't heard your chilled mix yet but you might want to re-work the intro..
Ok, the hihats are way too strong, easy on the hi-ends all my attention is brought there... A few mentioned earlier how the melody sounds a bit out of tune at times, and it's because of the bassline at that constant note, not the right note to chill at along with the melody... I like the big string/drone synth sound around 4:55ish... I like the lil twist on the original melody after the build, and your choice of sounds is interesting... but the fading of instruments leaving the one 'goa' like synth kills the 'powerful' mood. Otherwise it's a pretty good remix! Just the perc need some work, and the melody some tweaking.
