Re: Ring Road... next single...(?)
i agree the Switch mix was miles worse than this (Jesse Rose's mix was much worse than this as well and don't get me started on the bland as fuck Futureshock mixes)
the only issue i have with this mix is the over use of the first set of samples near the 2min mark. the sample would have been more effective if it had only played once as the break was leading back into the beats.
i think the sound of the kicks is great, the melodies and layers build coming out of the first break until LL overuses the "people are squinting..." loop (again) at about 5mins.
this is nowhere near the worst mix on an UW release. this isn't even the worst remix of songs from the new album.
on the topic of what samples were used and what weren't used, unless you were there with LL and have heard the original seperate audio tracks UW sent out for remixing this song, you have no fucking clue what sounds were used. the entire track could be constructed using only material sourced from the UW original and we'd have no idea. it's not difficult to take a noticeable sound and distort it beyond recognition with softsynths/audio programs.
