@TheVideoGamer : I like the 80's vibe here ! 

The drum kit is interesting but lack in my taste of low end (but maybe it's more in the 80's genre I don't know).

The mixing is clear, I can hear each instrument.

I'm not fan of the sample/saw synth used for the solo part at the beginning.

Suprising funny fx voices there :D.

Nice addition at the middle of the track, I like it.

Key change is interesting, I never tought of that trick before.


@Souperion (BONUS) : I like the electric guitar, it adds some dark mood.

The trumpet is a bit too loud in my taste furthermore, this trumpet part is only heard on the right channel.

Tracks are not blend properly, which kind of reflect a messy mix.

Still it's a good start :)

TVG: GROOvy! Really neat work here, even the new stuff just flows in like it belongs there.

hleet: Very nice faithful approach. I feel the bass was a little soft, but the rest was pretty tight.

TVG - That snare sample is very apropos. I like most of the re-interpretive material here, there is a bit of atonal noodling at roughly 2:55 to 3:19, but it resolves itself nicely with that bassline solo/segue into the next part. That key change works pretty well for this source tune for some reason. Instrument/sample choices are serviceable. Groovy.


hleet - did a fuller, more robust take on the instrumental department...those phat organs and the snares are hawt. I think I heard some very slight re-interpretations of the backing elements...


Souperion BONUS - Welp, now there's no point in me doing this source tune. This right here is the best remix for 'Anything But Tangerines' ever, except maybe those brass samples clash with the reverb space of the rest of the mix somehow, either that or they're EQ'd oddly...oh well, not a huge gripe. Gonna have to save this one in my mix dongle. Very GROOVY~
