Makke shouts:
I like the haunting lo-fi feel of this remix. I think it captures the original very well. That said, it doesn't feel like a whole lot of effort went into it. It's pretty much monophonic. I think it could be expanded without losing the lo-fi feel.
Amok shouts:
Over all like Makke said. I was waiting for some fat drums to kick in. Technically very good but nothing really impressing to be honest
Tomsk shouts:
Like everyone else, I was waiting for some diversity… An injection of a drum track would certainly have added more interest. Still, not bad.

If this was really all done with just a PSS-480, then my hats off to you, sir! The sound is, well, it's a Yamaha Portasound, so not much to expect there, but the arrangement works around the limitations very nicely. I think a fatter drum track could've really helped elevate this, but I understand if you wanted to stick with a pure PSS-480-based composition.
