Project Completion

Project Highlights

We have all worked well together as a team and have enjoyed working with each other. We have all put in extra hours in the evening to create two remixes that we are really proud of. It has been an extremely enjoyable and satisfying project. The individual remix highlights are as follows:

'Children' Remix

  • Mike's harmonic dive-bomb in the guitar solo.
  • The way the final outro section turned out. All the component parts really work well together.
  • The way Lee copied the snare in Reason's Redrum to it's own track and applied reverb to give it a big 'Phil Collins' drum sound.
  • The overall musical arrangement.
  • The sound balance of the final master.


'Behind the Sun' Remix

  • The 'spaghetti western' concept has worked extremely well.
  • The research we did to learn and re-create a musical style which we were not especially familiar with.
  • We believe that we have greatly improved the original track and have added new meaning to the song.
  • The reggae section. It works really well and adds interest and it drives the song to a satisfying end (we really like the final bell sound).
  • The improvisational approach we took to develop the remix. We were not afraid to try out new concepts and discard those that did not work.
