One of my all-time favourite demosids from back in the days...!! :-D Thanks so much for that. Although there's surely still room for further improvement in mixing and arranging here and there. But overall a _very_ good start for sure! :-) MORE of this!

Overall rating

First off, tons of respect for remixing the entire 7+ minute tune! The arrangement is a bit uncomplicated, but it varies enough not to become boring. It also nicely retains the atmosphere of the original material.

The opening chords feel a little off for me (especially the last bar of the sequence), but once the drums came in, I was sold. I also like how you turned all the arpeggios into chords, kudos for that.

Overall, there are lots of nice touches throughout the tune (like the whistles, or the sharp lead playing the melody line) which keep it interesting throughout.
