Actually, it was Slaygon that dragged me into doing this remix in the first place. He visited The Church when he did his European roundtrip. While he was in the Netherlands we thought it would be nice if we did a late night Sunday Service impromptu....

He asked me to do a rendition of Green Beret, but I said I wasn't too sure since I didn't knew the song that well. But after some pushing and hessitation I took the challange and the basis of this remix and improvisation was born.

For fun I later recorded another 10-minute live-version with some camera's which you can still see at YouTube if you want:

After quiet some request for an 'audio'-version I made some cuts here and there and tried to mix this 6-minute version as good as I could get it. And here is the result.

I hope you'll enjoy it!

Cheers,

Reyn.

REVIEW BY ggeudraco (26/01/2008)

After hearing this a few times, your realise the gradual and sometimes subtle changes Reyn does for his intro. However, when you know the drums mark the beginning of the action, you're constantly waiting and feel tortured until they do kick in.

Reyn has used a very appropriate set of instruments for this remix, but I'm afraid to say that his decision to perform it in a 'live' setting has led to degradation of what I can hear the guitar do - I often have to apply dynamic audio enchancement to fully immerse myself. A nice ending is achieved by the slow and subtle fading down of every instrument to that final few notes done by one unit.

Does it capture the environment the SID does? No - Galway has this music sounding like a dawn chorus; Reyn has made it over the top and turned it to a different meaning. However, has Reyn applied his own style and succeeded as a result of it? Definitely!
