aburame_shino Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Oh man... I was hoping for such great things... But I was utterly disappointed... I really like the original song, and this remix lets me down. It sounds kinda like he took the midi, erased some of it, and added in a cheezy house beat behind it. My rating? Original Song (The Man With a Machine Gun; Laguna's Battle Theme from FFVIII): 9/10 Remix (Man With Another Trance Machine): 1.75/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaJonny Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Hmm, this is a hard one. I play FF sooooooo freakin much and i loved this song. When i saw it here i was like yes... yes... yes yes YES ! Then I listened to it and I was like Yes!!!!.... no .. no NOOOOOOO ! Im sorry, I just don't like it. It was way way way too much high pitched for my liking, and some things were way way way out of tune. Until... It got to the ending. And i was happy. until it got to the very ending, and then (you guessed it) I said no once more. I like the remixer, just not the song. I ASK YOU! SOMEONE! MAKE ANOTHER REMIX OF THIS SONG! IT NEEDS A GOOD REMIX! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaJonny Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 im sorry to say that this song got me in a trance. I will have to take back my previous rating and give this song an "A". It just stuck with me all week and then i came back to play it again and now i kinda like it. wow, good job beatbox. The type of somg (trance) is real. you successfully preformed a great song, my hat off to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ichitootah Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 I'm sorry to say that this song didn't really strike me as too good. The synths are way detuned and not vibrant, and mix has little harmony whatsoever, many instruments clash in some places. I was a bit surprised, as the source tune just sounds great by itself, I didn't think you could make a remix that squanders that potential. It may be that this genre just doesn't fit with a tune heavily reliant on harmony like the source. But actually I've heard the one from Project Majestic Mix, and it's pretty good.

meccaneer Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 I didn't enjoy it. It's traditional dance. It's conservative and 'meh' composition and 'meh' sampling; not pushing any envelopes. Didn't get a good sense of contrast or feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bummer Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 It´s quite the dangerous task to remix Laguna into a BETTER techno, the original was already freaking awesome, but I think BD succeded. This is a decent upgrade of the original, used some new technics and Voilà! Homme avec un machine de trance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitz-Ace Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I played this game in and out a hundred times and theire aint nothing better than a good Final Fantasy song. I loved all the original tracks of the game making me hard to impress but this just topped all! A+ ***** (5 star) form me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 well, Beatdrop lives up to his name by emphasizing the beats here over everything else. The A theme motif played throughout the B section is distractingly off-color though. The breakdown works, and the song is well produced, but I think that the mixing of beats is overpowering, and there are some tonal issues that are a bit dissonant. Not my favorite, but I can appreciate the skill going into making it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
