Boy, I'm very torn about this remix. I like so much about it, but I think all that goodness is lost in the lackluster mixing.

The intro: fantastic instrumentation, immediately sets a grungy, dystopic mood (actually, it reminds me of They Live for some reason). But then at 0:32 the punchiness of the bass disappears as the other instruments come in. The electric organ at 0:55 would be brilliant - but it's barely audible in the mix. The lead coming in at 1:10 is also too soft and remains so for the rest of the tune.

So, again, brilliant ideas, a very good arrangement - but this just screams out for a better mix.
