The added slow emotional piano intro, plus piano and guitar instrumentation later on, unquestionably elevates Arctic Wasteland - my favourite track of Sonicesque, Vol. IV - from very great to absolutely fantastic!

I think a small downside is replacing the clap with synth. However, said synth arguably fits the cold theme better, so it's an understandable edit, ultimately making this change bittersweet for me.

Don't get it twisted though, my tiny niggle doesn't stop me from loving this track!
