L0rd3vyL:
Sweet
Viceman:
Excellent song!
zuckerfrei:
Yeah Baby!. … Behave…! Well, nice synths and real good tempo & drive… Appreciate it alot, although it might lacks a bit of nostalgic impact.
Skitz:
I just love this remix! Really subtle use of the Green Beret tune… Lovely!
cyphax:
While I understand how this doesn't impress some, I think it sounds fantastic. Boomin'!
cray:
More than Great.😊
LMan:
This is exactly how Trance music is supposed to sound like. I can almost smell the 90s club atmosphere.
neglesaks:
Oh this is kicking! Really good!
infamous:
Hehe ive done a few of these and no ones understood where im coming from or complained WHERES THE SID? But then whats the point of calling it a remix if its the same?. . This is a case in point wd guy's I salute you 😊
Waz:
A nice effort all round, and extremely subtle but works well.
Ziphoid:
Very nicely done, even though the Green Beret-ishness of it is very subtle, yes… Bravo!
Tas:
It is very well done but not really a cover or remix… Deffinitely as previously hinted an inspired by type of affair.
Chris Abbott:
Very generous of him to admit his inspiration, because I would have said this was more inspired by than a remix of. Even the lead is different notes to the SID. It is very good though. This will be a perennial for years on Skitz's show I'm sur
omoroca:
If you like Techno (which I don't), then you'll probably enjoy this.
gibs:
The sound is good and it's well done
LaLa:
I'm actually a bit bored by this remix. I find it repetitive and the thumping base distracts me. I'm sure it'd sound awesome in a club setting, tho.
weasel:
So far… So ok… (trance gets a bit 'oldfashioned' kind of… Meanwhile) But well… Whoever still can't live without it… There you go…
are_be:
Nothing special, just another overrated dance remix. Originality is the key to a great remix.
eliot:
Completly missed the spirit of the original tune (this gets minus x3)… Gets boring, too repetitive… And I got tired of always the same synths used…
cykiller:
Extremly repetitive and boring.
