Eivind Sommersten - Human Race
543. in all-time charts
I worked on this one for the BIT Live 2025 Remix Compo (hence the heavy panning), but I was stymied somewhat in the arrangement, and anyway I opted for a lighter themed remix.

This is quite the fresh take on the music of Human Race! Especially with all these fantastic synthetic sounds that are tickling my ears in all the right places. All packaged into this unnerving and somewhat sinister soundscape. I am almost relieved when it's over! (That's not a bad thing at all: it evokes a strong emotion in the listener, and that's good.)
But while it still gets a red smilie from me, I don't think it's quite up to the very high standard that Eivind set for himself. Not sure why, can't quite put my finger on it. Still excellent, just not Eivind excellent. Maybe I just need to listen to it more.
