Initially, I was beginning to feel slightly peeved by how "safe" you were playing it with this remix, but, halfway into it, I began to realize the differences and had to stop what I was doing in order to find the original piece and listen to this one again for a side-by-side comparison. It's a twenty-year-old game, so the improved sound quality is already appreciated, but you added a much needed layer to the music to help emphasize the mechanical aspect of the franchise that I thought the original was a little too soft about, and hearing it all come together from 2:15 onward is especially rewarding.
Now I'm curious. You wouldn't happen to have or thought about composing a remix from the Wars series, would you?
