I hear you, but I'm also a little scared about the idea too when they re-released 'Nothing' as a Remastered version. (granted they're both done in waaaay ousted tech today, but isn't everything months+ old?) Maybe it's just me buy when you play them side by side the original release is SOOOO much chunkier, heavier, and the stereo effects they used in the mix are far more immersive than the Remastered release. Mind you I felt the same way about Fear Factory's releases of 'Concrete' (original mixes, released in 2002) vs 'Soul of a New Machine' (Remastered for public release in 1993) So it very well may be a personal bias scenario?

Very well done! Thank you mate! You nailed the feeling of the song and made it your own.
