Stormy Clouds

Hi all,

I downloaded the stems of this song on May 30th.
http://www.remixcomps.com/contest/lendi-vexer-remix-contest
As it consisted of only two chords I totally reharmonized it and gathered suitable RealTracks.
And then came the hottest summer since beginning of weather records! I spent most of the time outdoors. There was no chance for musical activities.
Fortunately I had chosen a contest with deadline on August 31st. So I wasn’t in a rush and could enjoy the beautiful weather.
Now the deadline is coming near and the weather gives me a break to complete what I started.
Here it is:

Natalie has a beautiful voice! wonderful arrangement. Brent Mason guitar sounds very good in the mix and the sax is killer! so good.

Kenny

Hi Guenter,

Your version gives a very interesting spin to the basic song.
Once again you proved that remixing really is your thing!
A big compliment for choosing the Country Brent Soloist, we love this RT.

Rob and Anne-Marie

Great job on the remix. Beautiful arrangement. Really enjoyed it.

Steve

Great job on the remix. Beautiful arrangement. Really enjoyed it.

Steve

Your remix really transforms the material into something a bit more than a remix!
Nicely done - sounds great!

Guenter,
I got lost in that track on 1st listen because it is so beautiful.
Again you have done a spectacular job, you are the mix king!

Natalie's voice complements your remix rather than the other way round

brilliant

Hi Kenny,

thanks for listening and commenting.
Yes, the RTs are great.

Guenter

Hi Rob and Anne-Marie,

thanks for your kind comments.
Brent is my favourite RT artist.

Guenter

Guenter,

It is always amazing how you transform these - to an entirely new place. There are some nice entries... most sound much the same from one to the next - with a few interesting bits here and there...

Yeo Sky - different, interesting...
Zewr - Devo-like...kind of cool...
Anthead - nice
I like what XXIPAHA did adding guitars...and the organ - had a Traffic feel..
Candy Garage - nice
UBM Music - some nice parts
Fragile X - interesting
Frederic Delchambre - interesting


Your re-mix stands apart... seeming to consider the song (and vocal) the important part - while most others consider their music track all that matters.

The piano is especially nice. The mix itself is excellent. An interesting mix of RTs...

Well done throughout. I hope you "win" another.

floyd

Plus 1! I really liked that piano and the sound you drew out of it.

Amazing remix. I think you made the song better than the original mix.


Charlie

Completely agree

Hi Steve,

thanks for listening and commenting.
I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Guenter

Hi Michael,

thanks for listening
and your compliments.

Guenter

Hi Alyn,

thanks a lot for listening and your very
kind comments.

Guenter

Hi Floyd,

thanks a lot for taking the time to compare my remix with the other contestants.XXIPAHA is my favourite. Very groovy. Good Solo. I listened till the end, what I can't do with most others.
Many don't even care if the chords fit the tune.

Thanks again for your support.
Guenter

Guenter, even if Janice and I didn't "know" you from
this forum and if we heard a sampling of your remixes we
would feel the same. And that is that in every example
your version to our ears is more interesting and engaging
than the original and the other remixes.

And this one is certainly no exception. Like floyd we did
like the XXIPAHA version...I guess because we are both
traffic fans But ultimately we felt that your version best
complemented the outstanding vocal.

Congrats on another wonderful production!

J&B

I don't know how you do it Guenter. I listened to the original track and thought it was boring and pretty bad. I wondered how anyone could make anything good out of it. But your version is sweet!! It makes a simple melody sound so interesting with the chord changes and instruments you chose. To quote, "You're a wizard Harry". Great job Guenter. Amazing!! Take care. Greg

Hi Lawrence,

thanks a lot for listening
and commenting. Always appreciated.

Guenter

Hi Guenter,

I really enjoyed listening. I don't know much about the remix world so I will let the others comment on that.

Cheers,

Billy

Hi guenter.
I listened to little of the original but honestly yours is much more INTERESTING. Good job

Guenter, you never fail to impress. So beautifully produced yet remains fantastically uncomplicated. Takes genius to do that. My only comment is that the sax backing was a little too much in front. Nevertheless a great presentation.
Trev

Hi Charlie,

thanks a lot for your permanent support.
I really appreciate this.

Guenter

Hi Peter,

thanks a lot for listening
and your positive comments.

Guenter

Hi Janice & Bud,

thanks a lot for listening and your
nice elaborate comments.
I'm glad you like what I do.

Guenter

Hi Greg,

thanks a lot, Hagrid, for listening
and commenting.

Guenter

Hi Billy,

I'm glad that you listened
and enjoyed it.

Guenter

Yes Guenter, you have the remix routine down to a science. To me, most of your remixes sound way better that the original.

Mike B.

Guenter,

Sounds absolutely astounding... Great job!

Hi Joanne,

thanks a lot for listening
and your nice comments.

Guenter

Hi Trevor,

thanks for listening and commenting.
"the sax backing" is meant to be a
lead instrument. That's why it's
in front.

Guenter

Hi Mike,

thanks for listening and
your kind comments.

Guenter

Hi Curt,

thanks a lot for listening and
your positive comments.
