- The drums on the remix have more reverb, standard pop sounds, while
- the original drums sound more like standard drum machine. There's a
- guitar bit on the original mix, I think it's at the beginning of the
- second or third chorus, where there's this big scratchy distorted
- downwards slide. On the original mix you can hear this fairly well,
- on the remix it is mixed much more quietly.
-
- I think the original mix is much more punchy overall, the single remix
- sounds more watered down and `produced'.
