Remixer Notes
More of a re-do than a remix with a Drum'n'Bass feel - this may not be your "bag" though. I kept the tempo of the original and the lead vocals in the linear entirety including most of the song structure. This way the track remains more faithful to the original.
I kept Tony Levin's Chapman stick bass for the first half of the song before replacing it with a Juno 106 bass. I love the Linn LM-1 drums so much that they had to make an appearance too!
This is my first serious remix and it has been quite a struggle as it's a departure for me fitting my "style" onto someone elses. I hope you can manage to enjoy it.
Oh and monkey butter? Well if you can have goat's cheese, then why not monkey butter?

Oooo? Bit too much of a mash for us. Too much happening and not necessarily in sync. "Oooer, pass the blues Red." Oh and about this D&B feel. We wuz really looking forward to that. Percussion is far too back in the mix. Peace.
There is a lot of neat ideas in this mix, but I can't get past the fact that a lot of the time the instruments (especially percussion and vox) are out of time with each other. Get it all back in sync and I think you'll see your rating improve a lot.
I dunno what the other guys are on but I think the drums are plenty loud enough in the mix. The vocals are right, I don't think they're sloppy or anything but then I don't like rigidly sequenced music.![:-]](smilies/embarrased.gif)
I like a groove and a sway in time. You should try listening to the original for that feel.
Some fat bass in there dude - diggin it. Nice changes in atmosphere too - an interesting remix that holds up well on repeat listenings. Can't understand the low score - I gave it 4 stars.
Full sound, nice atmosphere, but the timing issues are little irritating to me to. I feel your pain, I've been wrestling with this timing issue myself. Lots of nice ideas here. Consider a fine tune?
Really think mixes can be hard to keep a handle on. I respect the ambitious approach you took, especially since this was as you said, out of the norm style wise for you.

Just to let your guys'n'gals know - Firefox doesn't seem to work when uploading your remix. Only IE.
Thank-you Peter for making the multi-track samples available - you are a star in more than one way
Cheers
