I think I might call Mike up and tell him "forget remixing/remastering Crises dark grasshopper, it's already been done." I focused in mostly on a much discussed section of that piece which on your recording starts at 9:55. The "wedding march" part was suggested about 3 years ago to a guy that wanted to marry with MO music. Well, that part was my choice as well......anyway, there was a shaker/tambourine-like percussion absent in your version. The very melodic part in question seems to be in 4/4 time but that "shaker" was in another time signature......one-two-three(repeating until the synth-sequence-awkward change) not on your part, Mike's. Still the shaker absence bugs me, it gave that bride and wedding a cadence for a brief time. I had a rack mount Korg M1 for a while circa 1990, it was great and I was sorry to part with it. Your blend/version/remake of this is 5 stars to me.
