Hmm, I just realized that I sent this thing in sometime in October, and come
to think about it, I don't recall getting a confirmation e-mail to go with
it either. So just in case it got lost the first time, here it is again.
Name: Z Gravity
Original track: Summer Squid, Napple Tale soundtrack, composed by Yoko
Kanno.
Remix title: Red Calamari
Link: (hope it works)



Righto, thanks for your time and here's hopin'. :)

Sounds ok, but I haven't heard the original. I'll come back to this once I've done a bit of research.

Very cool and funky.

I'll give it a Yes until such time as malcos or someone finds that it is the same as the original, if such an event should arise.

NO

CHANGED VOTE TO NO AFTER INFORMATION ABOUT POTENTIAL MIDI RIP .

Thanks for the link to the original Malcos! You made this much easier for me!

this sounds more like a MIDI file than an MP3. Except for the flanged drums. Terrible transition at ~0:48. Inferior arrangement to the original, this is simplified rather than expanded upon. Not that simplification can't have good results, but in this case it doesn't. Overall, this is very amateurish sounding, and thus not for OCR.

no

Uhh... Yeah, there's no way I can vote yes on this after listening to the original. The ReMix is quiiiiite oversimplified :( Boring for me it was.

NO

This song has lots of annoying qualities:

The horns. I don't think I've ever liked those general midi horns since the day of their inception. And no, I don't know when they were originally designed, but this whole mix sounds very dry, and very empty. It sounds like a midi was taken, with three or four tracks in it, and they were mixed and matched and soloed, and then slapped together in a final product. It just sounds very incomplete. The development is minimal at best.

NO
