The potential is there, follow through while you've still got a feel for the piece. Don't let it stagnate, this could really be something special.
Tremendous promise.

At this point, I don't know if I can tell you anything other than what's already been stated below. I've had this track in my favorites for a few weeks now, and I'm somewhat ashamed to just now be submitting a review. I've listened to it at least once a day since its' release, mainly when I come home after my courses. It's become a real stress reliever for me, and I suppose I'd really just like to thank you for tossing it up on NG.
Beautiful piece, great beat, rhythm, and excellent transitions with a very introspective quality throughout. You have quite a talent for ambient, man. It's appreciated.
Keep it strong.

You have a very distinctive style, and it works well here. I enjoyed this track, despite not really caring for the source material. Your work continues to impress me, keep pushing it man.
Good job.

Talk about repressed memories. I hadn't even realized I'd played Jurassic Park on Gameboy until I heard this. As soon as you hit the melody at 0:40 it ALL came flooding back. Jesus. Absolutely bizarre how music just engrains itself in our psyche, isn't it?
Nice remix too, bro. Completely fav'ing this.

I can't say I'm feeling the remixed vocal clips in your intro, but as soon as you kick in the strings at 0:24 it's smooth as silk for the duration. Thoroughly enjoyed the melody as well. Great track overall, I'll be sure to keep an eye on it for any changes you might make.
Wish it could be longer!

I try to make a point of reviewing all the songs I favorite. This track really gets me going, man. Freakin' righteous. I'll be uploading it on my mp3 player for the gym for certain. No suggestions for you, it's excellent.
Keep doing what you're doing, bro.

Excellent work.
This song is quite powerful, and I love the liberties you've taken here. I never thought Mad World could sound like this! A small request, though. If you could perhaps remove the vocals and release it as another track, it would be much appreciated.
Not that the vocalist is particularly bad, per se, I just feel he could use a little bit of practice. Note that while Gary Jules has a very soft quality to his voice, he doesn't stress it to gain that upper register falsetto, like this artist does. Additionally, the singer needs to drop the "Mad World" chorus down an octave and work on his tone/control. Practice is all it takes.
The above is the only reason that I'm not scoring this entry a perfect 10, but I still think it's a fantastic concept and great execution.
I loved your rendition.

Your integration of orchestral themes was wonderful. I especially enjoyed the strings.
Excellent job keeping the listener stimulated throughout the piece, I never once lost interest or wished the track would pick up. I have no suggestions for you. This track stands well on it's own merits.
Keep it up.

Solid.
I have to say, you're quickly becoming one of my favorite artists on this site. Excellent transitions, superb integration of sound effects, and righteous beats. Bravo. No suggestions whatsoever, this is outstanding in it's own originality.
Well done.
