This is Markus second remix and nice done. 😊 The tune has some sad touch… but anyone shall interpret the original in her/his way. The sssh -fx are much too loud especially starting at 1:48 and 2:43 and also the background-noise (especially on the end) is quite interfering.
This tune is hard to vote because it's on the border between good and very good. To be on the border is still good, so please pardon me 😊

The much remixed lightforce has been given the Markus Holler treatment here. As always Markus implements many of his own ideas and gives Lightforce a much needed boost. The guitar is the highlight of the track and the complex drum patterns give as the title suggests a power feel. There is a slightly unpolished feel to the remix tho, and some of the cymbals/drums feel a tad weak, but this is a minor complaint as the remix is by far the best remix of Lightforce out there.

At 3:30 i feel the track is a little too short as you really just start getting into the track beofre it finishes. The track feels about 2 mins long, which is always a good sign as it shows your enjoying the track. I have to admit it's a great version of a much traveled sid, just slightly unpolished.

I think the subtitle is misleading, because power it ain't. It definitely feels more powerful as the guitar lead comes in about halfway through, but it needs more powerful drums to make it, well, more powerful. Nice use of those filtered electronic sounds that essentially provide the backbone of the tune, just like in Hubbard's original. All in all, a forceful remix that falls a tad short of expectations. Oh, and I think it's also too short.
