Story

Decided to revisit this arrangement, since the original version from the 2010 didn't turn out like I wanted.

This time with real drums played and recorded by Mr. N. Korpela.

Very good, well played, love the energy.
weasel shouts:
Nothing really new here compared to like a million other LN2 remixes already. Also the mixing in general really lacks like the _true punch_ afterall sadly wise. I'm quite very certain this could have been kickin' way more with a cool mixing at least!:-)

Overall rating

First of all: welcome back to RKO! Second: this is a much improved remix over your last one from 10 years ago. This is more guitar-heavy (that's a positive, because you are really good playing them) and the mix is nicely balanced, too. Two issues: a) that piano break at around 2:15 sounds dissonant, and b) It ends way too abruptly. You should've at least let the reverb ring out to completion. All in all, this is a much more enjoyable version of LN2, and I hope to hear more from you!
