Excellent mix! You captured (and expanded) the rhythm perfectly. Nothing to be shy about here!

Yeah, I second what Jim said. I really love this interpretation, and treatment, of the original material. Lovely stuff.

Dude.
Super awesome. I think somehow the lute samples sound better here than in the original song? Did you do some fancy EQ'ing? Plus you're right, just that first phrase is quite powerful in itself. It's weird how shifting the focus brings out new nuances of the music.
Thank you for taking the time to play with these samples. I'm actually quite humbled.

Also, can I post a link to this on my facebook/soundcloud? With credit to you of course?

This is awesome.  I honestly can't decide if I like Colorful Grey's peaceful and pure lute or your modifications more.  Nice work.

And I'm quite honoured. Your material is quite expressive and I was a little bit afraid that chopping and quantizing could kill most of the original vibe. With more time, I'd love to apply some swing and a more human feel.

Of course! Be my guest (Actually I am yours, using your wonderful material both as inspiration and source)

Really tight track! Nice lute chops and like jjensen23 said, it holds the tension just right.
That boomy bass synth stab sounds like a thunderstorm on the horizon...

Excellent work! Great production and really cool use of Colorful Grey's original material. Thumbs up!

Thank you guys! Really, 90% of the flavour is in the lute from Colorful Grey. With samples like those, everything sounds nice

I wanted some of your tracks' fatness, so I had to use some analog deep saw waves

That is the most ganster lute I've ever heard. This track is crunchy getting crunchier!

As I keep playing this, I'm impressed on how well you brought out the essential Middle-Eastern flavor of the main riff.
