Actraiser 'Fillmore Freestyle'

I never really played Actraiser, but McVaffe always produces the highest
calibre of music. Do yourself a favor and grab this one even if you're
like me and have never even played actraiser. it's worth it.

This is definately one of my favorite mixes, it's catchy, good dynamic drums, good choice of synths, good overall feeling, good rhythm choice, everything seems to just make sense in the piece. This one gets a definate 10/10 (I don't give these out very often, a definate download)

-> great part change at 1:31
-> nice change of rhythm section at 1:52

Another very sweet mix by McVaffe. Ive never played Actraiser either, but this mix is awsome.

This is definately one of my favorite mixes, it's catchy, good dynamic drums, good choice of synths, good overall feeling, good rhythm choice, everything seems to just make sense in the piece.

That pretty much sums it up, and Ill add that the scratchs are well placed and flavorful, true freestyle. Highly recommended, I as well give it a 10/10 for being a very unique, dynamic, song that flowing seemlessly.

i still haven't heard a mcvaffe remix, i don't like. i like the way he pans the drums and the apreggiated (is that right? i don't remember) synth back and forth at 1:52 to 2:23. of course, he does that througout different parts of the song, but it just really stands out there.

[SsaiskK]

a classic mcvaffe.. at first i used to discriminate against games i never played.. but after hearing this, i picked up djp's mixes too and decided that actraiser music is pretty good =) anyway, this mix is another excellent execution by mcv with the traditional (for mcv anyway) percussion solo, which is always a good touch in my opinion.

I think what really makes this track different from djp's is that choir solo. IT'S SO AWESOME!!! No one has mentioned it here either! The two really compliment each other's. I wouldn't give it a ten, maybe an 8, but I can see how others could give it a ten.

Sorry dj pretzel but i like this better than yours. Anyways i lovethe great paino work!

This is my favorite McVaffe remix, probably his best work, and one of my favorite remixes, period. Once again, he shows complete mastery of drumwork and effects. A kick ass solo, high quality samples, no excess noise. 10/10 for sure, not a single flaw.

[Ryudo_of_Destiny]

Never fails to impress me. You can bob your head to it. Two Thumbs Up.

[Durinthal]

To be honest, I don't like this song all that much, due to the stop-starts and the overall feel of it.
The song itself is a solid piece, with nothing really wrong with it; it's just not something for me. Nice for fans of this particular style of music, at least.

[Lunevalkyrave]

Interesting style of pause-synth used here, I would definitly recommend this one to you techno junkies out there. As for me this one is probably going to go on my regular list, but It starts with the same beat as it ends. Good song, a little bland for me to give it my approval of awesomeativity though... :)

[Royal]

I loved loved loved the pauses.

[BlueEnvy]

The audio editing in this is superb, the part when the choir comes in is awesome. If you like McVaffe, this is a must have.

I haven't heard the original but this is AWESOME!!! Great job McVaffe!!! Crazy editing skills! I love the skips.

[Cheeszeman_]

wow, i like it! u kno, McVaffe is prolly my favorite remixer... ones like these are wat really makes this website run, lemme tellya
very impressive!

[Kantir]

I really loved this game. It's especially thrilling to have an audience, with any game. If YOU haven't played this game, play it now. The first stage in Actraiser has this track (the original, not this remix) I felt I should use that as a comment because this gave justice to the 'beat' mixed with the medieval sword-fighting avatar that you will control.
In short, good remix, good game.

[Txai]

Pleasant beats "Funky/Junky"! The melody is amused with this arrangement. Simple work, with much talent...

[Zenth Relin]

I loved loved loved the pauses.

[Marcel de la Jartele]

This remix is really impressive !
I love it, it sounds really amazing, awesome, the original theme is wonderful and I'm crazy about the arrangement ^__^

[watkinzez]

An old classic. I've had this for ages and listened to it so many times, but it still manages to be interesting. I think this is the motivation that got me into playing Actraiser actually- great game, an early representation of the RTS genre. Though very bare bones, it was still fun and broke up the action levels, and vice versa.

Right, the mix. McVaffe is the god of percussion solos- you simply can't find anything else like it here. The choir solo being the highlight here, is simply awesome. The chopped up places in the song are a great touch. You just can't go wrong with this man.

[meccaneer]

Actraiser is such a great game and this is another great remix by McVaffe. Solid sequencing, tonal balance, and superior mastering. It doesn't vary a whole lot from the original but, that's ok by me. Thumbs up, my man; I wouldn't change a thing.

[jelloegg]

I've never played ActRaiser, but I have to say that the music rocks. :D

[DragonFireKai]

It's a good mix, I like the breakbeat backing, but the the start/stops are a little too dischordant for my tastes. But the overall scheme is well executed, just not my taste in genre.

[Liontamer]

Wouldn't have minded something a bit more dynamic overall, but this was nice and chill.

[uthlu]

This one contrasts quite nicely with djp's take on the same track.
While the former's vision of this was more chill in nature, this one is something that is much closer to dance music. Also, close enough to the source to be recognizable, but with enough liberty taken to claim it as one's own. Good job McVaffe!

[OA]

I wish it was a little more in-your-face, but the drum programming, panning, and gating is all top notch and really makes it a great song. Synths all fit together nicely for it to be chill but engaging, and it has plenty of cool ideas to keep things moving along. Great display of skillz here. :-)

[a_d]

I'm impressed by the ever-fresh beats

[MechaFone]

Good, solid, head-nodding funk.

[SubNormal J3]

The glitchy drums are perfect for this mix.
0:40 nice dynamic section
1:00 the underlying piano runs work very well
1:30 cool effects
1:51 love this drum/bass solo and the gated chorals

[Codamadius]

Wow that was really well made. It's remixes like this that really make you nostalgic. I want another NES :I
