R1D1... never played the game, but always loved the tune... it has this very haunting sound, that you just cannot get out of your head. I wanted this version to be jolly feelin' ... I pictured R1D1 happy and "strollin' down the road" singing his tune loud... thus, I ended up with this very eerie lead sound that is supposed to resemble R1D1 singing... it has a very characteristic vibrato to it, that came by accident, but it makes the lead very organic and droid-like, though being at the brink of glass-shattering pitches sometimes :OS ... and yes... it's very jarre'esque in nature, which is fully intentional.
In the beginning of the track, I pictured R1D1 chattin' a bit with R2D2 ... If you cannot handle that, too bad for you! :oP

Waz shouts: Cut down on all the robot noises a bit and you'd have a winner here, but it just detracts a bit too much. Shame, because the idea's there and the bass drum kicks nice and hard.
klosterkatten shouts: I dont see the point of all the droid noises, even thought its named "overclocked droid remix". A good effort to pull something different anyhow.
ifadeo shouts: I like the lead sounds and the r2d2 sounds....
Caboose shouts: Kind of cool, kind of weird.
scyphe shouts: Synthpop vs Jarré in a good mix. I agree with Waz about the "random" robot noises though, they're not adding anything, just detracting.
infamous shouts: It's weird, it has daft noises in it.. The synths sound like their on pcp... And it works. Only thing that could have been a bit better is the drumbeat, its a bit crap but apart from that great stuff.
chilli_uk shouts: Im kinda finding this weird, yet nice - sorta good yet sorta plain, but totally infectious!!
omoroca shouts: A little boring!
kjetiln shouts: Love the robot chat, and cool sounds all over the track! Great tune :)
LaLa shouts: Some Star Wars with a splash of Jarre. Unusual, for sure, but it works for me. The lead instrument is a touch too funky for me, but the rest is near perfect. Well done!
brix shouts: Robot freaks out too much, you overclocked it too hard in my opinion. The rest of the tune is monotonous. Not my favourite, I'm sorry.
prowler shouts: Wierd, caotic and a bit messy, but quite enjoyable anyway!
eliot shouts: I like it weired and the robot stuff does not distract me. Only the drum is quite boring and monotone...
condor shouts: Good! But doesn't have that "stand-out in front of other remixes" feel.
aero shouts: Very interesting sound there, however the beats sound a bit too repetitive imho
Cubud shouts: I love the original, the remix is great too. Well done! I love the robot noises too, ignore everyone else, I am the only important person around here ;-)
