Great!
tim_forsyth shouts:
Unexpected stylistic change, I like it. Great mix, although it feels like you’re pushing a bit hard against your limiter.. The guitars are the cherry on top.
Ryrynz shouts:
Yeah ntb, solid remix

Well done, a different point of view for an absolute classic. I like it

The mixing sounds way too 'hot' in this one to me. Especially in the high-ends I am hearing some distortion. I had to bring the volume down to 1/3d of what I usually listen to in order to make this sound better in my headphones. The mixing is bad enough that it brought down my final vote a notch.Stylistically, not what I expected from Johan - which is great, I like surprises! But I wish the noodling on the lead guitar towards the end was present in earlier sections of the remix, too, because that's a real highlight in this piece. I like your use of piano in the arrangement, too. And all the ear-candy you snuck into it here and there.Overall, a great remix ruined by so-so mixing.

You need balls to put up remix number 87 to compete with the 86 already existing remixes and sometimes exactly those balls lead to good things like this. Kudos Johan. Well done remix of a well known classic tune. I was suprised because I actually expected a totally different style from Mr. Andersson! 😉

I love the structure of the whole track starting with the piano part and then fading into the guitar solo towards the end. Everything fits together nicely
giving me a real good time listening. I am with LaLa on the distortion - sometimes the track sounds a little bit too hot (thought I heard the kick distort every now an then) but nothing too serious.

Really well done. Please more surprises in the future! 😊
