Switchfoot is having a remix contest, this song is interesting in that it asks the question of "why would you wait until you are dead to live?" Musically I like songs that are more focused, but still rock & in the spirit of Less is More, reduced down to the core elements. Remix by JonathanNation.com

Switchfoot - Afterlife - Less is More Nation

Focused on two things: Vocals & Interestnig Music.

Five Iron Frenzy released the tracks with a simple request:  http://nation.fm/qyj1
Do stuff, but don't sell it.

The first thought I had was to do a "Less is More Nation" remix of it as I have wit other bands, but this one is a little differant & thus I could see doing another mix in the future.

It Was A Dark and Stormy Night by Five Iron Frenzy [Less is More Nation remixed  by Jonathan Nation]

This is this track: http://soundcloud.com/nation20/it-was-a-dark-and-stormy-night without the lead or background vocals.

Part of the request by Five Iron Frenzy found here: http://nation.fm/qyj1 

It Was A Dark and Stormy Night by Five Iron Frenzy [Less is More Nation] instrumental

Basic process was to get to know each of the tracks. Then start with the lead vocals and added back in some instrumental tracks. Deleted out parts on some tracks. Exported a mixed down version, adjusted one long silence out ... and uploaded.

Later I went back and listened to the original (kinda a first) and decided to adjust more and do version 2.

Way Beyond Myself - Less is More Nation

With this version I added a little of the female bgv in at a couple places, tweaked some audio levels for some tracks (making it less lead vocal overpowering all), and adjusted the outro a little.
