always wanted to cover this classic. it is the opposite of stillness in that only softsynths were used in its creation on my HP 8730 mobile workstation notebook. as follows...
bass - Tal Elektro
pads - Sytnh1
strings -KLC M1
303 arps - Muon Tau
piano - CityPiano converted to EnergyXT2 instrument
guitar - Revitar 2.0
drums - Linplug RMiV

Classic songwriting rendered anew through digital precision and clarity, great combination.

I never heard the original (I'm too young

), but I guessed it could be a Robert Miles tune from the piano lines and the general sound, so I reckon that makes this cover a success. There are some choice synth sounds on here too. I really liked that arp in particular.

Good work

That's an excellent production. Smooth enough to make Frantz dance to trance.

Perhaps using all soft synths gives your work a more modern sound.

That snare/clap that comes in at 2:51 could be a little louder.

thank you, sir! come a long way to be able to produce stuff like this within a 16x10" rectangle of electronics
which only a few years ago required a room full of synths!

never heard it? wow, this is probably my favorite song of all time in the genre. the
piano melody is simply addictive. the arps on my version were not as acidy and squelchy
by choice. so glad you still liked them

that's a good cover man! I think you did both: grabbing the Spirit of the original tune but also giving it a subtle stylistical Facelift!

I was living in Africa at the time. I don't recall hearing any Dream House in all the time I was there. The piano melody reminded me of "One and One" which I did hear when I returned home.

Lovely song, love when it builds and takes off. Never heard the original, so wouldn't have known this was a cover.
Nice movement, the song isn't smashed to death.

I remember it well. You've done the original proud - Kept the sense of it but added your own interpretation
