Hi all,

Due to my spine problems you haven't heard anything new by me for several weeks. But I'm almost fit again.
This is the first time I didn't miss the deadline of a remix contest. This one closes on Sun 29 Jun 2014.
The song is by Danny Darko feat. Lulu Falemara.
Here is the original:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63ctTRI0gpY&feature=player_embedded

I tried a totally different style.
RTs used:
RealDrums-BluesRockShuffle^2-HHt,Ride
RT1583_ Bass, Electric, TexasBluesRockShuffle Sw
RT1584_ Guitar, Electric, Rhythm TexasBluesRockSh
RT1585_ Guitar, Electric, Rhythm TexasBluesRockS
RT1588_ Guitar, Electric, Soloist TexasBluesRoc

And here is my remix:

I hope you enjoy.
Guenter

Guenter, I've just listened to the original and followed with listening to your version. You did a good job matching the original vocals into your music. Very ambitious attempt and I wish you best of luck in the contest.

Guenter,

Man! You've got that thang rockin'!!!!

You made me want to write something just so I could use those tracks. I don't think there could be a better compliment.... I want to copy what you did....and I'm not ashamed to admit that wink

I'm pressed for time, so I don't have time to listen to the others - but I want to... so I'll be back...

Excellent mix. Of course. Glad you are getting back in the saddle...

Ummmm. Wow. You nailed it with that urgent driving backing track. I had a flashback to Demolition Man by The Police. Very good work - Patrick

Ha, ha -- you sure took the backing in a whole 'nother direction! Very creative. I would even know how to start a project like that. You are quite the composer and arranger. Well done.

Very cool!! I really know nothing about the art of re-mixes but you totally changed the feel, and I like your version better! Really enjoyed the listen. Take care. Greg

PS Hope your back is doing better. I'm a physical therapist so I deal with back pain every day (sometimes my own as well).

Hi Charly, Dani, Floyd, Patrick, Kevin, Alan, Greg, Richard and Josie,

thank you all for listening and your nice comments.
And thanks for the wishes regarding my health.

@Floyd: Just go ahead. I suppose you paid for the tracks as I did. I'm looking forward to the results.

Hello Guenter,

That's a very nice remix.
We understand this is for a contest.
Did you choose this song yourself or was it chosen for you?

Regards,
R & AM

Guenter, Those are two totally different takes on the same song. I have to admit I like them both. Your version really rocks. You certainly seem to be able to find a vision and follow it through with amazing results. Good luck in the contest. Tom

Hi Rob and Anne-Marie,

thanks.
I chose it myself. I wouldn't work with it
if I didn't like it.

You did an awesome job mixing that rocking solo guitar with her vocal! Very clever adaptation of the original.

Guenter, a piece of advice for your back is try to get in the water and spend as much time there as possible. Walking in chest deep water is great for your back, or swimming if you're comfortable in the water (that's the thing that helps me most when my back is acting up). Even a Jacuzzi or deep bathtub is helpful. Icing is also a great help. Good luck, and let me know if you have any questions. Take care. Greg

Hi Greg,

thanks for your advice.
It's a pity that I'm too lazy to do
all that would be good for me.
