You can there listen to my recent remix/cover of a tune by Thomas E. Peterson (Laxity) called "On One"

EDIT:
Current version is now V0.2

Added some variation and stuff...

Please do feel free to tell me if you hear anything that could be done better or so...

Wonderfull.. just plain wonderfull..

The melody was "weird" in the SID and same in the remix.. but it's also nice..
And this remix has the same feel..

Sounds rather cool so far! It's got a good flow, only the main lead sound could use a little more tweaking, as it brakes down the whole tune somehow, which is a pity! Too much reverb? Needs to be made more crispy imho.

And you could experiment with adding the same lead to the existing one a second time one octave higher in the "refrain", to make it stand out from the rest of the tune.

Aside from that, it's a solid work already. Somewhere between yellow and orange for me. Well done! Especially the drums are wonderfully decent, compared to those in your Blackmail remix.

Glad you let us take part in the process BTW!

Thanks for the feedback

The main lead will be changed, I can't seem to find the right "clean" one, stil searching

Omoroca: Good idÃƒÂ©a to add a second lead one octave higher at the end, I will try that out

The reverb on the leads will be fixed also

Uploaded a version 0.3 to my wip

Changes:

The leads, bass and some other tweaks.

I can't seem to find the right leads and bass to this, any suggestions?

Comments?

Trace, very cool remix so far!

Laid back and right like out of an Amiga Demo.

May I request a slightly different lead synth? On lower notes, it reminds me a bit of a truck horn.

Maybe that's just because what my pretty worthless ears tell me.

I love Laxity's stuff and this version sounds pretty neat. But it needs more bass in my opinion. A lot more bass.

192 Kb/s is OK. Personally I go all the way to 320 Kb/s or FLAC.

Real fanatics prefer lame -V0 encoding.

(i.e. highest quality VBR)
