It may just be the church organ, but I get a prog rock vibe from this. Haven't watched the entire series, yet. But, it's a great song even in its own context.
I love how nicely this was put together. Unfortunately I don't think it was quite as good as they are individually. Send the hate mail, I'm just expressing my opinion.
Really love the style and approach you put into combining the versions. Nearly flawless aside from the minor tiny issues that have already been discussed. But I really love this remastered remix. It belongs on the OST with the rest of the songs.
Wow.... 12 years after the end of the original series and we are still getting things about Cowboy Bebop. I have a feeling that the shockwaves of this anime will be felt for decades.
@wilky1189 Thanks. That was one of my favorite touches, but it almost implies a mother/son duet instead of the depressed lovers I was going for. I went with it anyway. Apparently Xyless liked it too, since he included it in this nearly flawless remix. Check out the original if you haven't done so yet, btw.
@wilky1189 Yeah, I loved merloon's method of combining and interweaving the two (as he mentioned in his comment earlier). It's what I've always wanted to hear from a duet mix like this, unlike other versions, which they just crammed the two together, which doesn't really work considering there's different tones, slightly different guitar solos, and different pacings. Plus, combining two loud sounds just makes it louder and more distorted, which is disgusting to listen to.
My friend and I argue over which is the better version every time it gets brought up. I mean, clearly, Mai Yamane's is the best, but now at least we can have a compromise. Clearly.
The only fix I can imagine working would be to fiddle with the audio levels and intensities of the two tracks to get them sounding almost identical instrumentally, using whatever audio tools are available, and then seamlessly remixing the arrangement from the two doctored tracks. It sounds like you're better equipped to tackle this approach than I am, so I'll leave the idea in your hands. Less is more. (While you're at it, write a backstory for these two lonely people trying to find answers.)
@merloon I know how to go about doing so, the issue is getting access to the software long enough to do it. The chorus itself is good, except I need to get a cleaner cut of Conte from his version. I was somewhat lazy with getting Conte's voice and putting it in properly, due to constraints with Audacity.
Once I get back in touch with Logic Pro, I'm going to be doing some hardcore EQ work, I'm sure I can get Conte's organ sounding very close to hers.
You have a good ear, as it seems you have replicated my arrangement precisely. I'm not sure if your remix is an improvement, however. While the blending of the two tracks is smoother, it seems a bit muddled and, dare I say, "overproduced". The individual singers are drowned out by your instrumental mix, and the impact of the back-and-forth duet is diluted; it seems like less of an introspective conversation somehow, being distracted by the instrumentals. Flattered by the attention, however. :)
omg this is great.....i loved both versions seperatly but this is better and more emotional
