The arrangement is nice, but with the cheap, early 90's MIDI sounds used, this feels like nothing more than a direct SID2MIDI conversion.
Arrangement is fine, but it just sounds cheap and nasty in terms of instruments used.
Sounds amiga-ish, because of the MIDI sounds... And I don't know it that's a good thing in this case, unfortunately
This wouldn't be so bad without that awful bass and the mediocre drums. Basically you just need better samples/VST's.
The el cheapo MODish sounds bring down this remix, especially the way too loud bass sound and the virtually non-existed drums. The arrangement is fine, the mixing could use some polishing (it's way too dry).
Apart from the intro drum blackout, it is a nice work considering music. About sounds, it is at least a decade late I think. Mixing is okay, clarity also - you just need to replace the artificial sounds with better ones.
Okay it sounds not great but it is good arranged
I'm sorry, but that's just not my cup of tea.
This is a midi file for sure.. Tick tick tick at the begining of the track, sorry but this could be sooooo much better, its one of JT's best tracks...
Well, somehow this _has_ something! I like it somehow so far.... IF it wasn't that kinda 'empty' in certain places of the track (and a bit repetetive, too). But it surely has some nice funky ambitions though!:-)
Sounds like midi
Simple and true to the original

I like this one, it's precise and doesn't sound cluttered and noisy like some of the others I've heard.
