Hi Mr Pretzel,
please consider downloading my newest remix.


I wanted to capture the eerie atmosphere in the superb Super Metroid with this techno-ish interpretation. Did I succeed? You be the judge...

Not bad... a little long-winded in the middle, but the beginning and ending got me going enough to like it. Besides, even the slower sections work in the context of the genre, even if I don't necessarily enjoy them. So overall, I'm giving it a YES

Okay, I personally didn't really enjoy listening to this mix. It's much too drawn out, and builds weakly. The fade-out transitions between the different parts are lame. I don't find this mix exciting at all - It's pretty much the same things repeating over and over again. Though, I do like it when the "far away" melody comes in at 4:23. That's the only part I remotely enjoyed. The fade-out ending isn't something spectacular, either ^^

Well, this song sounds really good to me. But only as a song. I kept waiting for the metroid to kick in. and yeah it did in that middle part starting at 2:00 but that was pretty much the same as the game. If I were you, I'd cut out the middle part, come up with something more original for the beginning and end parts, cut the little voice over with "the last metroid is in captivity" and market it as an original instead of a remix.

Yeah, the transitions are a little weak, but as sort of an ambient
electronica track I think it's not bad. There are definatly things I like
about this track, it's got a nice feel to it; reminds me of my own recent
metroid track and my upcoming (gasp!) metroid track, but it still has
a bit of an unpolished feel to it. The drawn out title theme in the intro
and ending are nice, but the vocal clips (despite being clever in the
reversal of peace and captivity) really just feel out of place.

Smooth out those transitions and maybe kill the vocal clips and this
is definatly OCR material. But as it stands now I think it would not do
Provoker justice to post it.

NO

He told me it was a resounding yes, and you can believe me because I'm.. uh... Canadian. We never lie. It's genetic. Really.

Anyway! On to the song.
So far it's not bad, heard an interesting placement of the dying sound effect. Well, my only qualm with it so far (2:45) is that it seems fairly repetitive. I think it could do without the vocal sample, but that's just me.

Well, it's done now, and I didn't really hear enough to hold it back. It was fairly repetitive, specifically with the percussion, but it seems high quality.

Vote: Yes

Well, It was taking so long to register with mp3.com, then the explorer froze when I submitted. Then I got pissed, gave up and went to class. Then I ... kinda... lost my internet for a week.

So I'll vote now.


OMFG. I was putting bullshit in for the mp3.com registration, and put in 1999 for my birthday. It said:

Thank you for your interest in MP3.com. Unfortunately, due to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), we will need to redirect you to another web site within the Vivendi Universal Family of companies. We apologize for any inconvenience this may pose.

Then It blocked my computer from accessing any of the pages!

I am seriously starting to get sick of this mp3.com shit.

Anyway, lets see if someone else happens to have the song...

Askin Cotmm...
please standby...

Alright got it


Pro(s):

LOL!!!!!!! I love what you did with that voice sample! That made me laugh pretty hard. Almost makes sense, almost.

Great Feel


Ugh(s):
This song has been done so many times. This time its really nothing new, except that a dance beat was used with tamborines instead of hats. WOW!

I dont see anything unique about this song except that it had a very nice feel to it. Too bad that feel really had nothing to do with the melodys found in zebes.

Better luck next time
