Thanks! Still needs a lot of work. Funny thing is that my main studio computer went kaput when I moved to my new studio. This unfortunately is my second scratch track of it. The contest is ending in a couple of days so I had to at least put something up.

Hey Kennerb,

nice job. I gave up any delusions of featuring in the competition about 8 weeks ago...tough audience over there ;-) Most of the critics appeared shortly after the remixing became competitive...so I clung desperately onto point #26 here (thanks whoever posted that originally).

Good luck. Did you check out the other sample packs? The Afro Celt track is pretty fertile.

Yeah they are great packs for sure. I honestly don't care much for the award part of the competition. My main goal is just to have Peter give my stuff a listen so that when my sound is where I want it to be my name may ring a bell.
That may be silly of me but it's worth the shot.

and yeah I noted that people are not judging very fairly. Some of the better mixes got poor ratings IMHO. Sort of a spite/jealousy thing me thinks.

;-) Not silly at all. Good on you. That's what I was thinking really (besides, I wouldn't know what to do with a Duende).
I've only ever done 3 remixes in my life...so it was pretty cool to hear all the different angles...now I've figured out that anything goes.
I must be a traditionalist: I like to see a lot of the original sounds being used with a couple of new ones.

There's a lot of desperation going on over there right now...some guys with 18 or so 'Shock The Monkey' entries...got all the angles covered ;-)

Yeah... I really enjoy the tracks they are giving to remix there.

Really good quality songs to start with. I hate when a band gives you some song that goes nowhere and asks you to remix it... kind of like 'hey. we don't think this song has any potential... but please prove us wrong.'

I found shock the monkey fun to remix, but I've still got some a few little flaws to fix before I upload it tonight.

I can't imagine Peter Gabriel (or anyone working for him) is going to pay attention to someone who remixes his song 18 times... no matter how many votes they get.

I got it done just in time.

Only used the acapella vocal track, everything else was put in with an MC-808 and a guitar. I really had to warp the vocals like crazy to make it sit... and there are still a few parts I'd like to fix... but alas, for this round the remix is complete.

The real world remixed website is becoming a great learning tool. Prizes aside, I hope they keep releasing quality songs to remix.

Vakis. I checked yours out. Nice. I especially liked the snare sound that you put together.

Horvath. Thanks for taking the time to do that. Much respect for that!

very interesting take
im listein on my laptop speakers so i wont comment as to the quality of the production but the beat is quite groovy.

the morning radio show i listen to plays shock the monkey before they read reports of police taserings from around the country...
