Story
The inspiration for this track was 007 and Counting- a track from the Diamonds are Forever soundtrack by John Barry. It was done using mainly a Korg I4s. The track was put together quickly. The harp ending is actually a mistake. The onboard sequencer didn't delete that part and when I came to record on that section, I came to it and I felt it sounded OK so I left it in.

Shouts
Skitz shouts:Not too much wrong with this remix but it needs mastering. Great idea with the accordian lead...
Waz shouts:An interesting idea, but the execution lets it down somewhat. It plods along a little too slowly for me, and some of the instruments stick out a bit too much in the mix. The accordion lead is a different idea and on the whole that works. Tweaks needed
Has great potential, needs more work. It's a bit thin in composition (pretty much just bass, chords, lead). Liked the harp bit at 2:39
monty shouts:Sweet
Nice, but some of the instruments ruins the feeling.
Good effort, needs more liveliness.
Like the instruments choice.. But the samples are a bit to unprofessional.... Sounds like a MOD/XM
Hmm.. Couldn't really decide between grey and yellow now! It's a nice idea here but it somehow couldn't catch me in general. Maybe it's a bit too slow or the mixing isn't that well to get me into it. Not really sure. Although the accordion lead is a nice.
Comparing with original. I must say, that's very good.
Nice, but a bit slow for my liking, causing it to have a tragic/sad atmosphere. (was that intended?)
It's ok. Unlike some other people, I really don't like accordions, so for me that was destroying the whole thing
Stings & "accordion" sounds steril, so they ruin the tune a bit...:-(
Accordion sound is a nice idea, but overall I'm not very impressed by it. Like with many other remixes, the basic idea is good, the execution is so-so.
Reminds me more of the War Games (movie) soundtrack...
Starts promising but ends experimental. I like the way the chords are much more explicit than in the original version, gives the whole thing a Cobra feeling. But the climax that the first half of the tune is working towards is missing.
