The ?uestion Mark Said

I'm perplexed... Has M. Gabriel lost his edge? Only 4 interesting remixes among the 13 winners, that's a bit thin...
Japan Aircraft's track has an awesome production, but come on! This ain't a remix anymore! And it suffers from a blatant lack of imagination.

If I had to choose from these 13 mixes, my rating would be:
Winner: Andrea Riderelli - this melancholic rendition is beautiful.
1st runner-up: David Minnick - really interesting gamelan-like version.
2nd runner-up: Hal G - love how that bass goes wOw wOw wOw, also great pitched vocals.
Honorable mention: Vincenzo Ricca - I don't really dig that mix, but it's epic and inventive.

The rest is either ordinary or out of context, especially Roy Cohen's ridiculous Mario-like rendition! Needless to say I'm quite disappointed with the results...

I agree with Rene below.
The brief said the competition was for either a Remix or a Cover .
Choko Disco did a brilliant remix. Noiseplus Music and many others did brilliant covers.

Then a non-song takes the grand prize. But I am sure it was produced on the Indaba software..

ok - I'm just going to say what I'm thinking. Japan Aircraft's "tune" is beautiful - yes - great production - great beat - great skills - catchy - artfully executed - but - neither a remix nor a cover (IMO) - great track - yes - not a cover or remix. I am bewildered. I just needed to say it. Regardless - congrats to JA - congrats to everyone placing and in HM - I absolutely pushed into new territory participating in this contest - I am grateful for that - I am thrilled to generate new contacts and meet some very fine musicians indeed. Cheers.

I totally agree. Definitely sexy, but it doesn't seem like it falls into either of those categories like you said. Peter was probably tired of hearing his own voice ad nauseam.

Congrats to everybody at the top! The Japan Aircraft mix is still stuck in my head. Thanks for the wonderful opportunity and honorable mention!

One question though: when are the prizes sent out? I'm in the process of moving and would hate for my crazy landlord to receive a sweet double CD in my absence... She'd probably toss it haha

It falls under a Creative Commons license, so you can't sell it. Besides that, I believe you can do pretty much what you want with it: put it on MySpace, burn a CD and give it away for free, etc...

Dip-Switch Said

Congratulations to Japan Aircraft! He worked on few original sounds to create something really new. I was accused I produced an "alternative version", so the final result follows this approach, and I agree with that.
I have some doubts on honorable mentions, there's something that sounds "strange" to me.
I agree with Di Carlo: it seems Indaba pushes his favorites. That discourages me very much for future contests.
