Nice :D
It's quite cool sounding, even though it has a few defects.
The melodies are definitely the best part of this song. Catchy enough to stay locked in my head and never get out, probably. I loved the piano solo at the end not to mention the part at 1:22, where the trumpet answered to the two notes before it. Speaking of the trumpet, let's move on to the instruments. Well, there's definitely a unique sounding batch of instruments around here (who knew a TRUMPET would fit in an electronic dance song?!). Still, unfortunately, the fact that they're all presets, or sound a LOT like them, makes your song sound very generic. If you're downloading something, make sure it doesn't sound like a preset or you'll get loads of people like me complaining about them. Still, I won't take the score down because of the preset use, since the melodies compliment them really well. Still, as SessileNomad said, the bassline was much too repetitive, so you could work on that ;).
The transitions were awesomely done, and the melodies flowed excellently together. I liked the drum roll you did to introduce the drums, so that they wouldn't come in too suddenly. The structure is great too, and the song, although had quite a few repetitions of the main melody, still didn't feel repetitive. Maybe it was the variety of instruments. Anyway, now for the intro. Definitely a good way to start the song, and the buildup after was excellent. The ending was really good too, even though piano endings never come out that excellently. Maybe you could give a big chord to the piano at the end along with that reverbed kick thingy to give it more of an ending.
The drums, although are catchy and nice, were presets as well. I didn't notice much editing you put into it. If you're going to edit a preset, make sure it doesn't sound anything like the original, if you don't want it to sound generic. If you really want to use Improvised Bongoes, then I suggest taking the bongoes playing at the end of the preset away, since they sound ugly. I think they're the Op 5 of the preset, just right click Op 5's knob under Output in the matrix to take it away. Well anyway, apart from the fact that they're a preset, they still fit very nicely with the song. I think they could be a little louder though, but that's nothing a little mastering can't fix.
Definitely a cool-sounding improvement to the original (sorry Scooter-16 :P), so good job. Practically, the only real problem is that the instruments are mostly presets so they sound too generic. Other than that, excellent job. Oh, and don't mind if I gave a 10 on Scooter's and a 9 on yours, I wasn't so harsh back then :P.
