You're My Shining Star
DAMN. Just. DAMMIT. I'm going to cry if so help me. This. THIS. I have never loved Electronic this much. I have never loved hiphop before Epik High either. They make me love everything to bits. No wonder it's ranked top 10 on the US iTunes chart.
[ Remixing the Human Soul ]
Epik High + Planet Shiver
1. fly higher (feat. dh-style)
You gotta fly sky high - It starts off in a really upbeat manner, which is really awesome for one to get into the album. Reminds me of a nightclub or something, where it's crowded with people dancing to it. Very heavy bass compared to the original song, shows off more of the Electronic instruments. Nevertheless, it suits its name very well.
2. love love loveless (feat. 융진 of 캐스커)
Can't stop love love love - Again very upbeat, and more lively compared to the original and even the first remix, though that one's acoustic. But my impression to this song is exactly how it's portrayed right now, so I enjoy it very much once more.
3. break down the wall
Time to re-right the history - This piece is darker and harder than the original and first remix, not exactly what I hope for though. Maybe it's the overly hiphop-ish background that put me off. I still vote for the first remix.
4. 버려진 우산 (feat. Lisa)
Alone in the rain - I kind of like Younha's voice in the original song better, but Lisa isn't so bad either. Again with the heavy bass, but still a very good arrangement with rich feelings. The wind chime tune especially. Preferable over the original.
5. 1분1초, a little memory (feat. 타루)
I can't let go - This was one of my most expectant track since the teaser video, also one of my favorites. Half of Tablo and Mithra's voices are...electrocalized, which is kind of amusing. But the quiet background shoves that aside, that really got to me because of the mood it sets the song in. The bridge has a brighter tone though, which is a little weird. Else, it's still good overall.
6. fanatic
You are my shining star - This. This song gave me goosebumps right from the beginning till the end. Especially when that one line that was never in the original, came up in the beginning. Damn. The darkish piano tune to it makes it even better. True to its name. I just don't know what else to say. This will be one of the ultimate recommendation, kay.
7. back to the future (feat. yankie)
Respect the game - One of the more electronic songs of the album. There isn't much change to the tune of the rap itself, but perhaps due to that fact and how all that was really remixed is the music accompaniment, this is pretty normal.
8. you are the one (feat. 호란 of 클래지콰이)
You′re still beautiful to me - 7 minutes of godliness. Again, another very much expected track since it's one of my ultimate favorite songs. Planet Shiver remixed this once, and I have to say, they can do it better. Heavier bass than the first remix, but with more electronic tune to spice it up as well as more lyric. The part with "Faith, Destiny, Love, One..." still makes me giddy as ever. There are some quiet parts as well with light melody, which is always what I love. Damn, I can go on and on with this. Of course, I still love the original and first remix. This has to be one of the most meaningful worthy songs in history. Another ultimate recommendation along with its early versions.
9. high skool dropout
Rhyme maker get your mind wide open - One of their earlier songs, not exactly one of my favorite songs. But it's a really fun song to begin with, so I don't mind. Gives the album an element of 'fun'. Honestly though, the electric guitar towards the end is just so omg. Love.
10. remap the soul (feat. myk)
No reason to live without you - Again expected. The original almost made me cry, and this one made me want to cry even more. The arrangement spiced the mood up, so you can literally feel more of the solemnity in this track. It still gives me goosebumps like ever. I said I love piano, didn't I? With it in the background of Mithra's part makes it just...hngh. Again, recommended!

Hardcore. That's all I can say for now.
