Something I made for fun, yeah I know there's a zillion versions already but none with the Narel approved minimum Moog allocation that I'm aware of. The master was a bit quick & dirty so hopefully it's good enough. Feedback is of course welcome but just know that I ain't changing shit. Don't worry though I won't go all avena records on you over it

Peace, love and saving trance one bootleg at a time

xxxxx

Quite nice, I enjoyed it and will listen again. I was hoping it would be in your darker and percussive style, instead of warm friendly prog. It's one level up a Marsh remix style, as yours has bit more interesting or experimental stuff going into it, but it's that kind of genre, which is just too safe and too homogenous in the sound design imo. Needs more balls and drive, even at this BPM. Personal pref of course, but it's not very indistinguishable from what another prog artist might do on Anjuna to remix it, which is a shame because you got more of the dark arts in you.

Nah that's fair. Honestly I didn't wanna do something tougher/darker as I wouldn't have known how to make it work. I've always spanned the genres (they call me the genre spanner, for any mighty boosh fans out there) and I often just wanna prove a point to myself that I can do a certain style. With this tune I think the strings and vocals are very much the star of the show and I didn't wanna move too far away from that. Also wanted to see how stripped out I could do the mix. Lastly shout out to my wife for her idea about hard panning the 2 different guitars in the break

Wait a minute you've never released anything on vandit so I don't know if I can trust you

I really like this. It offers something different from the other remixes.
The way the track evolves from the drop was unexpected with that pad-come-bass melodic element and it works really well. Nice work!

'Classics' normally get raped or hardly altered (just a new kick). That is not the case here. Holds true to the original and adding something new that is also pleasant to the ears.

Thanks for the freebie.

Yeah I hear you. The way I've noticed a lot of producers tackle classics is just to take a few parts of the original and shoe horn it into a template sound of whatever is popular right now. A more dynamic approach is needed but then again a lot of people nowadays can do one style and one style only. Glad you liked it mate
