This is my remix of Ian Van Dahl's Castles in the Sky.

I'd been playing with this for a while, and rather than just let it sit on my computer.. I decided to finally "finish" it (There are still a couple parts I want to tweak), and upload it here for all of you to enjoy.

Call this a bit of NG "fan service" if you will. Anyway, lot's of hard work here, and I'd like to say it paid off. Probably one of my best commercial-esque things to date. Rate, Review, and enjoy folks!

It's a very nice tune. You put a lot of variations in here, so the song doesn't get repititve, which is always a big plus. ^^

Also, you added vocals here, which too keeps the song from getting boring.

Only thing that bothers me is the rather bad cymbal/hi-hat sound. It just sounds too artificial. But I guess that's because of the program you used to create this. Good drum sounds are pretty hard to come by.

"Nice tune"

Although I'm unsure about the choice of sounds for the background counter-melody when the girl is singing, but overall the piece is good.

There is a good deal of variation and a nice dynamic beat to the piece - I think that I'd like to see it loop better, but aside from making it slightly longer and adding more lyrics, there really isn't much you can do to improve on this tune. Seriously.

"What a remix"

by: phantomlassuk

I actually like Ian Van Dahl's stuff so this is a treat, its a shame we dont hear from there anymore.

Well this is an exellant remix i cant hardly, tell the diffrence from the original. The sound wicked i love trance, and the beats are just amazing.The singing brillaint is this done by you?. I love track with lyrics and this is no expection ,although brief it was just as strong as the real thing. The tune goes nicely the beat is clubby, not much has changed. So you still get the song but with another, version it ends well.

I guess what stops this from being perfect is not much ,i suppose the track could have a more clearer lyrics.

Overeal cool
