This is sooo relaxed! Not the usual 1:1 cover, very free and interesting.
Marcus shouts:
The more I listen to the song the more I like it! The choice of instruments is really unique and reminds a little bit of the 80's Hongkong action movies

Overall rating

Before I get into my nitpicking, let me just say that I absolutely love the free-flowing, stream-of-consciousness semi-improvisational jam session style of this very creative arrangement!

But. 😄

The guitar that comes in at 0:38 - it sticks out like a sore thumb. Sounds like it has different reverb applied to it than the rest of the tracks, and thus it sounds out of place mixing-wise. (This applies for the rest of the remix where the same guitar can be heard.)

I am not a fan of that sudden change at 3:11. Three minutes into it this tune kinda puts me in a nice trance as I go with the flow of the music and my mind starts to float away, then BAM! comes this. Kinda jarring.

As I said: this is nitpicking. 😁 Because otherwise this piece demonstrates a high level of creativeness, which I really respect.
