Mega Man 3 'Mega Man 2003'

First off, I feel differently about the intro than DJP does :) I felt that the introduction was just supercool. Listen for yourself :) At 0:30, Gecko Yamori quickly changes the style in a full-fledged electronica arrangement. But seriously, I'm tired of hearing Mega Man 3's intro music. It's almost annoying now. Speaking of annoying, I don't like the synth that comes in at 1:52. It's too loud and too "noticable" for my tastes. However, this is probably the most enjoyable Mega Man 3 intro ReMix that I've heard in my time.

I have mixed feelings about the intro. On one hand, it's kinda out of place in a mix like this and the violin patch used bugs me, but on the other, its interesting, amusing, and Gecko Yamori gets to show off some jazz knowledge/skills. I think I like it. The real meat of this mix is done well. The song is structured well with good builds, some cool drum fills. The bassline is fast and staccatto, keeping the intensity high. Good synths used throughout (I do like the synth used at 1:52, except maybe hold back on some of the panning going on). The ending seems a bit cut off. More time should be given for the instruments to fade off of the final note and a little silence given so the listener can reflect on the awesomeness they just heard before the song repeats again or the next song in the playlist starts up. Good stuff here. I like.

Honestly, I know when two people remix the same song they are going to sound somewhat similar, but to my ear, this song sounds almost identical to Mustin's Blue Bomber Forever. At least for the first 30 seconds or so, anyway. The instruments are different, sure, and I don't mean to take anything away from Gecko's song, but the similarities are too much for me to enjoy this Mix. It feels like a remix of Mustin's track to me, not a MegaMan remix. I suppose that's not a bad thing, after all, both songs are well done. I dunno, it just doesn't sit well with me for some reason.

(Don't get me wrong, I'm not accusing Gecko of stealing or copying the song or anything. Like I said earlier, I know that when two people remix the same track, sometimes they're going to sound similar. But I can't help but be bothered by it--this song is just covering too much of the same ground. It's somewhat irrational of me to be bothered by it like this, but I can't help it. It's just the way I feel.)

This mix is very tight and fast-paced, much like other things from Gecko that I thorougly enjoyed, such as his recent Sonic CD mix. The only real "problem" with it is that this track has been remixed so many times that it is impossible to listen to without comparing the differences between this and other remixes of this track -- most notably DiscoDan's.

I like the rapid bass in the middle, but something needed to be different in the beginning, especially to set it apart from the other mixes of this song.

I'll have to agree with Tappy on this one. Although Gecko made a solid mix, I really can't shake the feeling of "I've heard this before" when I first gave a listen. Like Tappy, not to make any accusations of "copy" or "theft," I would think Gecko created this mix with "inspiration" from Mustin and Disco Dan as the whole of the track has a little "BlueLightning" feel to it. Other than that, on its own, its a solid mix that I did enjoy. :)

[SonicIce]

is this .wav quality, or are my speakers going on me?

[Rychan]

a) wav quality is arbitrary, but quite possibly better than mp3 quality

b) it sounds fine to me

c) I like it a lot. I also don't think "sounding like a previous remix" is much of a critisism. People are working from the same source material, and might have decided to take it in a similar way. I don't think just because someone else did it first it makes the latter remix any less musically interesting.

good work!

Okay people, enough discussion of "I've heard this so many times already". It could be worse; he could have made a Schala remix, you know?

Anyway, I think it was techno work well done. Synths samples were original and pleasing (yeah that one synth that was pointed out earlier was a little overbearing, but not painfully so). Variety was good, and that's always a plus for me, though I wish some liberty would have been taken with melody (seeing as how so many people are tired of the same song). Drum & bass work was superb; it felt good. A great mix!

P.S. I personally enjoy DiscoDan's mix the best as well (though it would have been better if it wasn't 8 minutes long ).

I'm sorry, this is a good mix, but I'm going to be quite honest, I already have three different versions of this great intro downloaded and this one doesn't sound any different.
