Hey John,
Thanks for the comment about my track.
I really dig what Shawn did with the remix. It's certainly different, and I of course love my version haha, but seeing people remixing my tracks has been really interesting. I actually asked him (and a bunch of other composers I know) to do remixes for a free B-Sides & Remixes bonus disc i'm gonna be putting out soon. All the music I grew up listening to, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, the Wax Trax Industrial stuff, all had singles and EPs and special releases filled with remixes, so I thought it would be cool to do that kind of thing. The remixes I've gotten so far are all really interesting. Like Shawn's for example kind of changes the structure of the song and added some stuff, but then another guy's remix went and replayed a bunch of the layers with live instruments, and then another guy practically made a whole new song just using some elements of the original... It's been really interesting and really cool. Can't wait to put the whole thing out!
