Alright, it's done. I spent all day on this and I'm not totally satisfied with it. Recording your own music is hard. Recording a cover is harder. Doing a remix is harder still. I've never actually tried to make a remix before this. I was in way over my head. I probably should have resisted the temptation. I've mostly ditched the modern feel of the track, despite leaving most of the existing effects in place. I figured I couldn't really make anything original without some kind of major change like that. The rhythm seemed to be a good target. The additions I made just flowed organically from that point. I tried to turn this into some kind of old school dance music, but it's not clear which style it is. Elements of techno, house, and trance are all present, and are arguing with each other. I was trying to name it after one of those styles, but it doesn't stick to any well enough. I thought of calling it the "Club Mix," but I think I'm kidding myself if I think this is ever going to end up being played in any club. So, I went the generic route, and I present to you:

Sockpuppet - Baby, Be Quiet (Dance Mix)

Not to imply that the original wasn't totally danceable. I'd say fluffy's just about ready to hit the club circuit. But eh, this was an interesting experience. Feedback would be appreciated. Oh, speaking of, reviews for this fight and the last are still on the way.

Hey, that's pretty cool! Thanks!

The main thing I'd suggest is making the vocal parts a bit more interesting, with more stuff going on than just the bass and the vocals. Maybe combine the two vocal parts, and have another synth or the arpeggio or something?

Sorry Wages - my list has been updated

In fact - it is your own fault I left you out. To do my reviews, I cut and paste your reviews which were at the top of the last page, to get the list of artist names, then deleted your comments. If you had have bothered to review yourself, then this problem wouldn't have happened

That's too funny! Thanks for taking the time and for the review.
