Sorry but this sounds like a quick and dirty SID2MIDI job, with little imagination. Almost bad.
omoroca shouts:
That romantic oriental flair is really nice. But this remix is too repetitive, and the instrumentation is too thin.

DJ Regrograde appears with his first remix - and due the name I thought I will get some hardcore tune but my assumption was wrong 😊 It is very close to the original, besides the drums. Maybe a supporting bass-line would give the tune more brightness, but overall it's nice.

First of all, what's the goal of adding 12 seconds of weird babbling at the beginning? Something like that is a definite NO! for C64 Remix playlists, for instance.

The rest of the 5:20 long remix is a straight-forward and very repetitive cover-version which adds some monotonous and questionable percussions, such as noise in the background. Why it's called In Love Mix is beyond me. The remix has absolutely nothing to offer and is disappointing.

If somebody can explain to me why this remix starts with what sounds like a Japanese auctioneer speaking fast, please, let me know. Then it has a sort of minimalistic oriental feel to it with exotic drums and that sitar-like lead. Which would be okay with me, except that this goes on for over 5 minutes without much variation - and it makes this remix boring. Cut this remix in half or introduce some variations or add a climax or something.
