Shouts
This is an example of how not to do it. Mindless SID+drum, with the odd reverb with random settings is not remixing.
During the sections where Hubbards SID isnt mauled by Eftos trademark bitonal overlays its actually a fairly good rendition. Lay off the unpleasant frequencies, PLEASE!
Turn off the reverb, ditch the drum samples and get rid of the out of key backing, in other words listen to the vastly superior SiD.
It`s just a bloody rape for my ears. X-(
Sorry, but nope!
It would fit a Sanxion horror version pretty well I think. Too much disharmony is here to cause positive feelings in the listener I think. It would be best to leave Sarah's ear alone before the police shows up.

Overall rating
This track does what few remixers actually manage to do, and that is create more than a sound, but rather an actual feeling. Hubbard's already-creepy original is up under a microscope, where its wobbly, disoriented and disorienting ethos is in high focus.
Much, much more interesting than the umpteenth Chris Hülsbeck song with floaty Yanni synths set to Europop beat remix, in much the same way that Suspiria is more redeeming than a dreadful Lifetime Original.
It's not perfect (the soundscape is a bit mid-rangey), it's not pleasant (as the average reaction can attest to), but it's Better For You.
