Very good!

It has definitely that Manchester touch to the song. More (early) New Order than Joy Division.

There's one part of the song which is somewhat out of context. There's a piano part, perhaps with the intention of capturing the tranquility of an ocean, doesn't flow with this upbeat version. I was thinking more of using some synth strings or a synth melody line instead. For example, New Order (and Joy Division)used the ARP Omni 2 to great effect. I don't own this synth so I don't know how well this machine has aged through the years and how well it would cope with modern production techniques and technology. Anyhow, I notice that there are some synth strings that come to the fore at the end of the mix. Perhaps this could be used/remixed for that part of the track.
