Parallax has originally sinister music, this is also in line with it.

Embracement: Very easy to recognize, it just doesn’t fully keep up with the original. 4/5 -
Arrangement: The sounds are generally comparably close to the original sounds, but unfortunately in many cases a bit lacking compared to that. Martin Galway did an excellent job with the pitch bends and vibratos, it is really difficult to improve or even match that. While the drums are a nice addition, they are too repetitive for my taste. The voice samples are nice! 3/5 -
Performance: Not a lot to complain here, but the pitch bends sound a bit too exaggerated sometimes. 4/5 -
Mix: The mix is not bad, but sometimes the lead synths pop out a bit too much for my taste. The panning seems a bit funky at times and I do not like the chosen reverb. 3/5 -
Mastering: It lacks a bit of punch and I would agree with LaLa that it is overall a bit harsh. I think mostly because there is simply not enough bass, and because of the loud leads. 4/5 -
Overall: 3.17
