When I heard Andreas' song I heard a bit more than what was in there. I felt the pain in the lyrics, but there wasn't enough 'sprinkles' to keep me interested, and I thought the words went on a bit, so I put some points of interest in.
The trumpets are supposed to sound out of place in such a sad song, and the slightly dischordant Brecker Bros style close harmony saxes are also there to give the piece some edginess, the BV's are there for the opposite effect, smoooooth and sympathetic.
The fx are there to add chaos and melancholy to the otherwise potentially static vocals.
Anyway hope you like it. Andreas dryly said to me "It rare that the remix is done before the original" Check out his original when it's done.
It was a real gas to work with You
