Idk, it was a decent track on its own, but the problem is that it doesn't add any value to the original, IMO. Some remixers can take the best parts from otherwise forgettable tracks and turn it into something wicked, some remixers radically change the style (I know this board despises fullon and proggy remixes of goa tracks but I tend to like them because they take the great melodies from goa classics and add moden highly advanced production), some remixers turn good tracks into a pile of crap, but this one just adds very little so I'm not sure what was the purpose of it.

The sound of 2001/2005 is available in the software environment, much could be related to free running chorus/effects/slight MIDI inconsistency etc. People could not surgically EQ every sound source to "perfection" on a desk, there was 1 band with Q if you were lucky and the Q of any EQ was not as tight as you can get it in modern software, quality highly controllable dynamic control was in short supply, analogue noise floor was a thing. In 2020 people choose precision which is available if required in a DAW, this comes from the ground up so the kick and bass sets the precedent. Couple this with highest possible perceived volume mastering and the sound is evidently not the same. I have to say I like quite a lot of it myself, but I also like the much of the older sound as well. But you can hear some problems as well..some leads with piercing harshness, same with hats and cymbals. We are entitled to miss elements of it but I don't think it will possible to go backwards, or really serve any purpose. Good tracks are still being made.
