Huh. I don't remember this song at all but I actually like it quite a bit (the original version at least). Solid rhythm part and the combination of electronic held notes with xylophone sounds really neat, and I also like the exotic stringed instrument at 0:45. The Evo version makes the sensible change the vocal-sounding electronic part to actual choir vocals, but the rest of the song just sounds lukewarm and doesn't maintain tension at all.

See my writeup for Hamel as these are the same song but with the first and second half flipped. Strangely though the change results in a notably lower score for the original version because the progression makes less sense, and it's missing the cool intro. It doesn't make much difference for the Evo version since it's being carried by one of the halves anyways, and the violin entrance at 2:34 actually sounds kind of weird in Hamel when it's towards the beginning of the song.

The "dings" of OG are so much more powerful than the legato Evo. And what are those violins doing here from :25 to :50 or so?
