Below is the review, straight from Adam Pederson so you get the full scoop from the artist himself.<\/p>\n<p>There is one remix of each track from the album and it&#8217;s about 62 1\/2 minutes long, about 6 minutes longer than the actual album. For the short instrumentals I did something called an &#8220;Elements&#8221; remix, which was basically using certain tracks from the song and remixing them&#8230; adding nothing new. Just an interesting take on the track and usually showcasing something that was buried or quiet in the original mix. A few of the remixes I added and changed things a bit, the song still being recognizable, just a fairly different or very different feel to it. There really are no electronic elements at all. I didn&#8217;t feel any of the songs really called for it although I&#8217;d like to do something like that in the future for upcoming albums. Two remixes were done by friends and they are also basically alternate takes on the song often giving a different feeling overall. The title track is simply a guitar mix of the song. I loved the guitar work in it and decided to do a mix that showcased that. &#8220;The Funeral&#8221; mix is the original mix that Eric (Clayton of Saviour Machine) and I did when we were mixing the album. It&#8217;s about 6 minutes longer than the album version and is a very interesting, yet pretentious, ending to the track. In the end, we decided it just didn&#8217;t work for the album so I did an alternate version. The remix of &#8220;October&#8221; is on the Seventh Circle MySpace page. I will put another remix up there soon as well.<\/p>\n[2009 Independent | Purchase: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/seventhcirclemusic\" target=\"_blank\">MySpace.com<\/a>]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since we talked about Seventh Circle\u2019s album The Struggle in the interview, I figured we would just review The Struggle Remixes here.
