Melodyne for retuning; Ableton Live for assemblage & extensive looping/chopping.

Did you win???? It would get my vote smile

No, the contest was long over by the time I used the stems.

Beautifully dreamy from the vocals, but also with serious impact from the drum.  Very nicely done!

Nice one! Really great work, I'm pretty impressed by this! And it's very uplifting. 

It sounds a little different from your "usual" work, and yet still maintains your flair.  Good job!

Credit due to Ms. Heap and her inspirational vocals.

Very enjoyable, very impressed, if only all pop music could be this pleasant to listen to

My congratulations to this dreamy remix. It has your handwriting and I loved to listen to it a couple of times.

Thanks all! I really appreciate your comments.

A very good remix/reworking! Keeps traces of the original while it's definitely your sound.
(Don't think I'd heard the original before, I prefer this track to the original.)

I agree it's an awesome remix in the sense that it truly re-interprets the stems. I know I said this before but I admire your incremental work with vocals and melodyne.

Beautiful, nice work
