Thanks for the encouragement! I'll see if I can find some time to spend on it probably even this week.

I see what you mean with your grimey-industrial style - the way you mixed the 8-bit piece makes more sense now. I was only suggesting that since it's a cover and not a remix or something else that similarity to the original piece might be a little more important. My point was that there's a very apparent style difference between the two.

Nothing wrong with your style, so no need to apologize :) I'll send you an example of my stuff when I get a chance. I think it would be cool to collaborate or at least talk styles mixing sometime!
