Trax, like a couple of others, the original song was not a big favorite of mine. But I LOVE YOUR VERSION!!. If this had been available, I would have purchased it when he released it the first time. This again proves why this genre is better left to professionals like you, and the rest of us need to just stand back and watch, haha. Terrific work. And I love the Christmas avatar you have up. It's a ten.

Very interesting interpretation of a Gabriel classic. Where can this kit be obtained? Might be fun to play with.

Really liked this track! I've never heard the original, but this one sounded very well done. Loved the synths.

If I didn't know the original song so well

I would hardly recognize this as a song.

But I can learn to like this if not love it if I played it enough.

but its so mish mash that I would not play it as much as the original.

maybe slow up the pace some and rework the editing on the fills

Nice one. Love how you've claimed it as you're own - full on remix.

Dig those synth bass lines!

thats the beauty of doing a remix.....you use the parts you like from the original and add other parts you like.
thanks again for the review, I am working on something of mine at the moment, and it will be finished soon I hope.

Always loved the original and had to check this out. Very unique interpretation of it, thought it was pretty cool, much different than the original. I wouldn't mind getting the stems to this, could you direct me to the site please. Victor mentioned something about it. Thanks.

hi victormusic01x

yes I have submitted this for the contest, but am more concerned with what I am learning and the awesome stems I can use to create in my own style. Hey sorry I havent listened to much of your work for a while either but I have also been working on some loops that should be validated soon as well as catching up with returning reviews....off to review yours now.

Description : I'm gonna file this under Drum and Bass due to the beats I used. Though it's probably not DnB in the strictest sense of the word, as it starts off with a Cinematic vibe till the beats kick in (apologies for that, as I don't have a vast knowledge of DnB!). Apart from the beats and a couple of other loops, all synth/bass parts are played by me using ThornCM, Poly Max and Z3ta+ vst's. Let me know what you think? All feedback is always appreciated. Thanks.

Description : Technology is a great thing. But I'm glad to know that if it ever fails ... or simply isn't there ... I can always play my guitar or drums, or just sing. In any case, the power didn't go out during this production ... so it's electric. And eclectic.
