This is one of my favourite forum songs ever and the video is awesome

I love that simple 3 note run, the guitars and the drums are just so right

Brilliant!!!!

   Hey Dutch,

    .....well, this certainly qualifies as a WIP ;D ;D

 I'm tempted to post what I originally sent you, just so people can see what a HUGE transformation has already taken place here.....this is the best mix I've heard so far ;D ;D 

 Love the video.....think the music is starting to roll along quite well with it.  Although I do think the Korean Girls are 'out of place' ;D ;D ;D....but I know you know that ;D ;D ;D ;D

 I really like the way this 'idea' is going.......Excellent work mate ;D ;D ;D

Mad, mad, mad....... ;D

I don't know what's going on inside your head but it's not from round here!

I love the way it takes unexpected turns in instrumentation and melody and it's horribly catchy. I only listened twice for fear of my sanity with that refrain going round and round inside my head like a err...buzzing bee :)

There are so many people on here representing a wonderful hive of knowledge, when faced with their awesomeness I feel I "mite" be suffering colony collapse disorder...

Weird and cool!

Dear Bees Knees,
Danceable, mad and complex mix of stuff :D
In terms of suggestions I'm not quiet sure but for me it needs some further variation in either melody or something different, interestingly I preferred it towards the end, which was more straight dance...
Look forward to seeing how this Collab turns out? Any guitars???
:)

Wow that bass drum at the start, awesome.

It's a strange combination of orchestral, dance, trance, rock and house music..   :-\

I think you have actually managed something very difficult..

You have invented a new genre, I think it should be called 'Eclectic Fusion'  ;D

I really like the section from 3:55 onwards, proper pumping beats :)

Excellent work guys
