djpretzel Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Not bad . . . -djp Hey Mr. OCR aka djpretzel aka the judges, This is Adhesive_Boy, and I've gone for a more "listener friendly" remix than my past submission. It's still not technically sound, which will never go over too well at OCR, but I still think it's some good stuff. I did this for a contest just a week ago (at the time of submission) and I got second place. So it goes. Here's the link, hosted conveniently on Saunder's server. You may need to change a few of the Id3v2 tags or whatever, but I don't think it will be needed: Anyway, everyone's favorite "ear-piercing" high pitched instrument (called a theremin) is back, along with some semi-funky keyboards and drums. People may not like the "theremin", but I do and it's my remix. It's quieter, though, so it shouldn't be as much of a problem for people. No or not much Calvin and Hobbes-esque glue and wood as DiscoDan alluded to with my earlier remix. The middle section is quite weird, but it is just to add some spooky-weirdness to it and to set up the keyboard solo. And if any of the judges or whoever are curious, I am not deaf, and I actually do have a pretty good ear for music. I just choose to put weird stuff in here. I have no concern with making a remix of a specific genre. Music to me is something that shouldn't be categorized. So there. There's much more bass work now, though, to even the treble/bass stuff out... I hope people like this one. I made this entirely for free with MODplug, and I certainly had fun doing it. Enjoy. There's something I forgot to say about all this. I can't remember now though. I hope it wasn't important. Don't take all this submission stuff I've written too seriously, btw. Just worry about the remix - I don't want any flaming pms or figurative pummelings in the nads... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protricity Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 This is actually very well arranged. Good job. It took me a while, but I really like it now. Great way to use what you got, VERY nice sequencing. I dont like the techno twips, they are completely out of place !@#$ D: YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Dan Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 Yeah I think this is another keeper. Except for the deviation from the original chord progression (which is a personal taste thing) it's very HQ with nice variation from the original but also staying faithful.

DarkCecil13 Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 Wow. This is pretty rad. Sounds REALLY cool. Definitely enjoyable to listen to. A little strange, but it's all worth it YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonio Pizza Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 This is one of them weird mixes that pops up on OCR every once in a while. Here's where the objective and the subjective compete and intertwine a bit. It is beautifully arranged, and it does stay true to the orginial Forest of Illusion, but I'm not diggin' the slightly chaotic nature of this tune. That, as strange as it sounds, is a matter of personal taste and does not reflect the technical merits of the song. Either it's that or I just don't want to be the odd man out. You decide that one. I'll decide this one. Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
