something is wrong with the sounds...they are all a bit grainy.

think of what this mix would sound like without the drums.

the pads are oversimplified, the melody is exactly the same as the original, and the bassline is dumbed-down rhythmically. in fact, the mix is nearly exactly the same as the original.

now realize that the drums are one loop played pretty much for the whole song.

NO

This is a nice cover piece. The drumbeats were indeed just the same thing looping again, and good job pointing out the bassline, Vig. Go ahead and post this up at VGMix, Mike. It's a decent enough, simple Memories of Green remix (in the general sense of the word remix), and quite a few listeners there will enjoy it. Next time, go for rearrangement please.

There's nothing wrong with simplicity, like with the drums and bassline. They can be just as enjoyable to the casual listener as more complex work. But here, such overt simplicity belies a lack of effort in those areas, so please think about ways to give future works of yours more variation there.

good job pointing out the bassline, Vig.


THXTHXTHXTHX!!!~ i did my best. i actually listened to this one before voting on it!

Cover piece with drumloop and sharp, unpleasant synths. Please go for an actual remix, rather than a cover.
