This concept is just so appalling to me.
Well, I'm not forcing you to listen to it. With the samples, SDV wouldn't even break my top 50. If they had released it without the samples, it would be in my top 25. It's still not, since when considering what my top DT songs are, I consider them as they were released, as the artist intended. But for my own enjoyment, I think it was worth the money to remix it without the samples.
There's also a very nice, quiet little organ tone where the latter half of the samples is, which I turned up a little to make it more audible under the piano. Much more enjoyable!
I also remixed Home the same way, without the sex and casino noises. Not that I mind those AS much. I usually just listen to SFAM in its entirety, and I do prefer to experience it as a narrative. But now, if I want to listen to Home just on its own, it'll be much more enjoyable for me to hear the music without the samples.
There's also very subtle piano and synth stuff under the chorus that I couldn't really hear that well at all in the original, so I turned that up as well.
But anyway, the point is, if I felt like IT was so incohesive, it would be extremely easy for me to divide it into two separate parts and just treat them like separate songs. Heck, I might do that anyway, just in case I ever feel like enjoying the latter half of it on its own, although I do find the entire thing, from the beginning to end extremely enjoyable.
