I couldn't agree more about your comment on my remix.
I actually changed my production techniques in an even further old way of producing on this track. I went to balancing the track on my analog mixing desk which was how it was done in the good ol' days. What I found was it gave me the analog warmth yet at the same time cold because of the limitations you have with balancing the track on a mixer. Still a learning curve for me also.
Structure-wise yes a bit typical. Two reasons; firstly if you hear the original, there wasn't a whole lot to pull from it in terms of a main lead melody. I ended up using the little plucky arpeggio that you can hear at the first breakdown on the original, and I adapted that to create a main lead.
Secondly, I wanted to push it at 7-8 minutes rather than 10 minutes+ as I felt that ,making it a lot longer it would drag it out.
Vocally I felt it wouldn't fit the track I ended up doing if I used the full vocal so opted to take the 2 whisper sections and making that the focal point.
The package itself is a diverse package.
The original will split hairs as it's a very different track from C&C and for the folks wanting another Trance uplifter they may not be swayed with it but knowing Adam Pracy personally he's very much about creating whatever comes, not taking the scene too serious and just overall being a musician/artist instead of track after track the same, which for me is great to see.
Happy that you overall enjoyed the track though
