Hi MusicallyInspired,
please forgive me because I don't mail privately but leave my reply here. This is just to give everybody else the chance to criticize my opinions.
First thing your version seems quite a bit faster than the original. The percussion section is also heavier, I think. Making the whole thing more dancefloor-oriented. Am I correct that this was your main musical idea?
The arrangement seems to follow Mike's quite closely, except maybe for some bends and additional notes near the beginning. You got the sound very nice and fat, with lots of detail, very pleasant. Sounds very professional (sound quality is limited due to compression, of course. MP3 will sound better).
Of course I was anxious what you would use instead of the solo guitar. Well, I must say that the (soft) flute sound is quite disappointing and doesn't support the fast & heavy feel of the recording properly.
As you say you plan to add some real guitars, I'll tell you what I would like:
1) A very brilliant acoustic (if possible 12-string) which strums along in a folk fashion most of the time.
2) A clean electric, doing a funky rhythm some of the time.
3) A distorted lead with very spectacular solos in the old Ommadawn or FMO fashion.
Anyway, it's great listening as it is now. Thanks for the fun.
Carsten
