Human Race (Tune 4) Alternative Rock Mix

My first C64 remix.
The idea for this track was to stay true to the original, I tried to imagine how it would sound out-side the SID environment and this is what I came up with!
It has a lot of contrasting sections that I tried to blend together before erupting into the more rock'ish middle section which I couldn't personally resist doing.
It was too tempting a direction for it to take, I don't think a dumbed down version would pay homage in the same respects as the whole tune would sound quite meandering in my opinion.
I understand this specific sub-song from Human Race has been remixed quite often, but have an open mind when listening to this, I put a lot of love and care into recording this and would appreciate it if the "Oh not another Human Race sub-song 4 remix" comments were kept to a minimum hehe, be easy on me ;-)
Recently I managed to update the mix with a remastered version. This sorts out the loud drums and lack of panning in the first mix, the bass is hotter too.
Hope you all enjoy the track and any future remixes I release!
Incidentally, feel free to check out my own original material on my site if you're up for something a little different.
Lots of C64 love to everyone,
Pawel.
A remastered mix has been finally uploaded! The original mix was done late in the morning
and the drums were far too loud.
I also have a 5.1 surround sound mix, but I will only send this on request.

- The entire tune was recorded and produced using Cubase SX 2
- Guitars were recorded with my Fender Venus Vista Series electric
- Drums were done using Native Instruments Battery
- QuadraSID was used for the original bassline and also to mimic the guitar melody

REVIEW BY LaLa (03/10/2004) Yes, Human Race remixes are a dime a dozen, but this one stands out with its near-perfect mix, well thought-out production and carefully selected instrumentation. At first I was somewhat weary of the part where it digresses from the original a little (between 1:43 and 2:19), but now I think Pawel did a great job of applying his own touch to the tune. The pulsating bassline really rocks on my subwoofer. Verrrry good! |

Dan shouts: Dont agree with Tas on the hectic part bit, great mix and some nifty guitar work Makke shouts: Could do with some fine tuning on the mixing, but part from that VERY enjoyable! Tas shouts: The hectic part has spoilt a rather good remix imho Waz shouts: There's plenty to recommend this one. Lots of well placed guitars, and a sensible improvisation on what's quite a short tune.
Skitz shouts: Not my cup of tea but nicely executed..
LMan shouts: Great remix!
ifadeo shouts: Another human race sub4 remix, nothing really special in my opinion.... It doesn't work for myself... IMO... gammasutra shouts: The mix it's ok, also guitars vosla shouts: Like Tas I'm slightly put off by the hectic part as it doesn't really fit in. Otherwise it's quite enjoyable. kagerou shouts: Bloody amazing, make some more :@ eliot shouts: Pawel, I enjoyed. But it does not work for me as it does for others. The original flair gets sometimes lost... madfiddler shouts: Actually I like it even more... For a 1st remix... Blinding!! soppa shouts: One of my favourite remixes, I like the original SID and this remix is really professional work. samwyse shouts: Very nice omoroca shouts: He doesn't make it look easy on the guitar, even though he doesn't play any difficult parts. The rest is quite boring.
