The mix is a bit messy, and the instruments choice uninspiring.

Not sure what the hubble about this laserdance remix is about. Has its moments I guess, but not much more.

The drums and bass is not in sync, other than that I like it

Overall rating

My eyes lit up when I saw that this remix was supposed to be in Laserdance style. Unfortunately, it doesn't live up to my initial enthusiasm.

The first problem is right off the start: there is no intro per se, and the various pulsating pieces just do not seem to fit together.

Then the drums come in, but they are too soft both in character and in volume - they're barely audible. Most of Laserdance's biggest hits use well-pronounced disco-style drum kits.

The chorded pads are also too washed out in the mix.

Finally, the outro - there's none. The remix ends as abruptly as it has begun, which is disappointing.

All in all, it's a good basic idea for a remix that needs a lot more work.
