A Boy and his Blob 'Cyborg Blobby'

If I had any sound on my computer I'd give this a raving or stinking review and post it here, but seeing as that's not the case, I'll just put this here so the rest of you "Boy and his Blob" and Mazedude fans can post your reviews. Tell me if it's good... I hate feeling crippled...

One word...ok, two words: Fucking awesome. I love this remix...I love the "electronic noises" that are just txt and exe files loaded as samples. Somehow, the remix as a whole manages to fit the feel of the odd game (because this was a game that was VERY odd) with a catchy theme. My favorite part, I think, would be 1:53. It's kind of empty for a bit and the lead instrument seems to have a bit of trouble playing the theme - it's just...awesome! And then it sounds real cool when it goes all crazy after that. Towards the end, the creative improvistation and the little addition of the little arpeggio from the game is just perfect. It eventually morphs into the ending, after some neat sound effects. The ending does sound a bit different from the rest of the mix - but is a PERFECT closer for this type of crazy and werid remix.

I think Mazedude does it much better when he's doing crazy and fun stuff - and in my opinion, this is his best. But I have very odd preferences...

Digression: I'm reminded of a one hour compo where one fellow's samplepack had been corrupted. Instead of giving up, he loaded them up and went ahead with his entry. It was really rather hilarious at the time.

Now then! Mazedude has done just what should be done with crazy nonsense samples: mix it with crazy nonsense music. And of course, what else to do with it than throw in all the tracker scene-esque tricks: arpeggio effects, blips and blops and note cuts all over the place.

Truly well done. What I *would* like to hear from Mazedude next is maybe some IDM. Telefon Tel Aviv style : )

IDM?? Ugh....althought I could see him pulling it off rather well...

I'm a big fan of his stuff, because it always tends to be unconventional. I like that kind of music or style. For instance, I LOVED Trippin' on Alligators from Bayou Billy. I loved the happy industrial feel this has to it. Keep 'em coming man.

Happy Industrial, hm? The idea fills me with awe and terror. As always
Mazedude provides solid souding and creative stuff. I'd be interested in
knowing just what all data went into the creation of this. I remember
a mod way back when that featured a few instruments that were .IFF
format images of himself and his friends. Interesting stuffs.

Okay... weird. Awesome. My respect for Mazedude has just gone up TWO notches. Incredible use of nonsense samples with pretty bad original music, and somehow it IS "Happy Industrial". Scary. Get it. Definitely one of the "Whoa, that's weird. I love it!" songs on the site (see Alexander Prievert's Shadowman 64 'DeadsideDance' also...)

I have to be honest here, this is absolutely awesome. From the get-go, this mix is just truely a work of art. It's making my wrapping Christmas gifts much more fun to do because of the playful nature of the music.

Nothing but samples from the game, huh? Stuff that wasn't meant to be there, but still was?

Mazedude has amazed me with how he's brought this all together. It's truely an amazing job well done and I hope to hear more remixes that just have the kind of fun Mazedude had with this one.

Nice work. Am I the only person on Earth who likes the music for this game? Sure, it's repetitive, but it's still fun.
