fil_razorback Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I enjoyed the Portal ReMix a lot, and now this one has just become an instant favorite. Congratulations to all the people involved except the guy coughing at the beginning ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC2151 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I think this is performed better than the portal mix, myself. Outside of that guy coughing! Ha ha, in any event, this is pretty great, and I really love the Wind Waker soundtrack. Especially when played by live instruments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuigiFan Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Much much better than the Portal one. I thoroughly enjoyed this arrangement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_Yoshi Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 See it's music like this that I wish would get played more than overplayed "classics" like One Winged Angel and Liberi Fatali and the Halo franchise at shows like Video Games Live. Oh, right. I totally dig this. Guys need to work on your recording though! It all sounds so distant and I don't get the feeling that I am listening to an orchestra as much as listening to a recording of a recording of an orchestra. An orchestra dishing out some awesome music, but still, there is that separation. But hey, this is the second track you guys have released to OCR, and this was a live performance, so it's nothing to feel too faulted on. Maybe try hitting up Tommy Talarico or someone connected to VGL to see how they do their recordings - those always sound really sharp and amazing on CD. And don't flame me! I love the track for once! Wholly and nigh unconditionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Drop Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Hey. I played in this one, so I don't know whether my review for this can be unbiased I wish there were a better recording, but it was kind of an improvised thing, from what I could tell at the time...

OceansAndrew Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Pretty nice stuff, I liked the additional instrumentation added to the usual orchestra sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonAvenger Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I like the arrangement here, and the added instrumentation works very nicely. I can definitely hear the Holst influence, which is pretty nice. I'm hoping to hear more from the GSO as they improve! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Penwald Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Arrangement and choice of instruments are both very nice, but I do have to echo what is being said about the quality of the recording. The volume is insanely low, and as Master Yoshi said, it all sounds very distant. Other than this technical issue, this is a mightily fine remix. Oh, and I'm not bothered by the guy coughing at all. It's live; stuff like that happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McEuph Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 It's a good arrangement. I just wish the ensemble could actually play in tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarad_Thamia Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 OMG I *love* this remix. I adore any kind of celtic music. My brother and I have always loved the intro music to Windwaker and I was waiting for someone to remix it. This remix did not dissapoint.

Skyline Drop Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I know the recording is pretty low-quality compared to OCR standards, but you need to remember that we're an entirely student-run organization. We have a pretty minimal budget that has barely grown since our inception 5 years ago, and the mere fact that we even got to perform in the school's major concert hall is pretty legendary in itself. Also, we're composed mostly of non-music majors, don't audition players, and rehearse once a week in a chapel, so I imagine our playing will be just a little bit sketchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProjectSpam Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Oh man. I love Gustav Holst, and I love his Suite in F -- particularly the 1st and 4th movements -- so I can definitely hear the influences here, and they make me happy!

Emunator Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 It's great to see how you guys are improving your craft over time, I really think the GSO project is a wonderful idea and would like to see more groups like it popping up in the future. The arrangement here works and is a pretty enjoyable listen that's easy to get caught up in. Performances are pretty nice as well. Perhaps your arrangements could stand to be more ambitious but given that you guys are mainly non-music majors and doing this just out of pure love for VGM, I can't be too critical. It's great hearing the improvement over time as you guys submit new songs, you can only go up from here! Hopefully you'll be able to find a way to get better-quality recordings in the future though. At least a volume boost would be nice here... Again though, nothing that really stops it from being a good listen, but some advice for the future.

Crulex Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Technical stuff aside, this is a wonderful piece that brings some of the Celtic Ocean bits and zelda love that I love together in a nice little package. Enjoyed the arrangement of it and for a low budget deal, you had a solid tune here. Very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
