Hey Paul,

I can't believe I'm saying this about a MOR mag like SOS, but actually they make 
it swing more after about 30s, and (I don't think) this has anything to do with 
modifying the groove, just giving some kinda space for the rhythm to work in a 
different way. I *way* prefer the soundscape you use in the original, because 
it's brash, and the sounds speak for themselves, but I gotta remember this is 
music, and movement is involved, physical movement, and, sickening though it is 
to admit it, I think they did something that moves this music into another 
musical medium.

I actually think your sounds are perfect, and the SOS soundscape is not, BUT, 
they are using their tired production clichés in a physical narrative (to dance 
to), which is something (I guess), that isn't going on in the original, because 
you set the groove, and move to and from it, like binary, which isn't organic. I 
think the binary thing works when you're sitting down. Not so much when you're 
standing up. 10 0 1 00 1 11 000 1 01 etc

Top work, dude.
