A real driven energy. Simple but powerful orchestr
When I first heard it, it was a letdown compared to the original - I was just hoping for more fun techno goodness and was disappointed. Coming to it again now, though, I can enjoy it for what it is. A thoroughly driving piece.
This definitely has more of a dramatic feel than v1 - specially with the samples you used for the beats. I'm not sure I like the clicky clap that you use at the end of every 2nd bar though.
I love the introduction, with a couple of bars of the beats solo. The end sounded abrupt for a long time though (basically until I knew to expect it, by which time most of its effectiveness was already gone) - maybe having a cymbal or another extra-loud/resonating when the tune 'dies' would help make it feel less abrupt. yeah, it's slightly cliche, but it works. Love the extra beats after the 'death' though.
Maybe you could have fitted in an extra counter-melody at points, in the bg?
The strings do seem to lead towards an increasing tempo and they're probably my favourite element. I like how the whole thing is relatively simple but has this driving force behind it. I couldn't see myself deleting this file.
