Song Structure
I believe I have kept to Justin's standard Remix structure. I have extended a song beyond the 10 minute marker as seen with all his remixes. I have also Had a simple sound evolve over time.
Over All Sound
I think the guitars sound like warped metal and like an ebow effect. Justin tends to use an ebow an sustain effect on his guitars, this can be seen on "Pelican - Angel Tears (JK Broadrick Version)". The vocals of the song were lowered so not to be in the foreground but the voice sample to appear in front of the music. This is another typical Justin style, ask can been seen on "Godflesh - Streetcleaner".
Improvements
The improvements I could have done if I had another week to spend on the project would be as follows.
I would have added some reverberant strings and male choirs into the mix, as this is a very famous thing that Justin uses in his own songs as well as his remixes.
I believe I could have also put some programed drums in the songs, nothing fancy but a simple beat throughout the song, this can be seen on "Jesu - Farewell"

Side Note
Justin along with many of his Label mates at Hydrahead like to put self indulgent or second meanings into songs. These are some of the things woven into my final remix.
The track is 11:11
This is because if A=1, B=2, C=3 then Euler would be 5, 21, 12, 5, 18. Added together this equals 61,this can be converted into 1:01. Thus 11:11 being a multiple of 1:01. The idea was then to have a significant event to happen on certain parts of the song that these numbers fall on. This would have been 0:55, 4:46, 6:58, 7:53, 11:11.
Another thing is when I listened to the track saying about being free and you can do what you want, it reminded me of the sample at the start of "Godflesh - Streetcleaner". So I twisted the meaning by having Police radio messages talking about unsuspecting people, this implying nobody is free and we are always being watched.
Finally, the last words in the song are 10-98. The 10 code used by this division use 10-98 to mean "Assignment Done".
