omoroca shouts:
The guitar flavor of this remix and the feel of the original SID are a good match. Worth a listen!
cosmic_gerbil shouts:
This is really awesome!
condor shouts:
I don't like the drums in places, but nice work overall.
NecroPolo shouts:
Something is out of tune or keys in places. The tune would be killer without that bug.
Satanarchist shouts:
Guitars are good, even with their rough nasty edge and detuning, the drum sound quality is crap though.

Overall rating

I love how Gammasutra has arranged this remix. Its got an hypnotic quality about it. The rythm suits the tune perfectly. Dark and mysterious deeds are afoot! I particuarly like the lead guitar, very… Um, twangy. Exotic.

Its not perfect. I could swear there's a guitar out of tune somewhere in there at the start, right of centre. Could just be my hearing of course, but it doesn't spoil the tune in any way. Sound quality is good, not great, although it is hard work arranging guitar based remixes just so.

Overall, it makes for compelling listening. Certainly worth a look for fans of both Forbidden Forest and slightly off-the-wall rock.
