Odd in a good way. Erratic percussion combines with mellow electric piano and MANY other cameo instruments including steel drum, theremin, guitar fret-noises, and several others. The result is a spooky, somewhat slapdash, but ultimately intelligent & musical arrangement from SMW. Judges all admired the originality, with Dan-the-Man noting: "Yeah I think this is another keeper. Except for the deviation from the original chord progression (which is a personal taste thing) it's very HQ with nice variation from the original but also staying faithful." - this from the OverClocked ReMix equivalent of American Idol's Simon Cowell :) If someone described simply in words, in greater detail, what newcomer Adhesive_Boy was trying to do with this mix, I would probably have some serious hesitancy toward whether or not it could be done and sound halfway decent, but while at times non-sequitir, this is a decent arrangement that takes some risks in the arrangement AND instrumentation arenas and pulls everything off in the end. Kudos for something different - definitely memorable; not driving or dancing music by a longshot, but something you can listen to and focus on and not get bored with - effectively changing background music into foreground music. Artistic, and recommended to the more adventurous.
