I dislike the original but this is a very cool piece, still not something I'd listen to though as it has that annoying Ice Cap melody. I don't like the string samples and think that a more synthetic instrument would have sounded better but the production overall was pretty good.

Hope to hear more from you.

This is very remeniscent of the "Finished Symphony" from SSX Tricky, so much so that I would hazard a guess that the similarity is intentional.

Not that that's a bad thing; I loved the finished synphony, and I love this.

It's a Terra mix up next, amirite?
This one is pretty damn cool. Does something new with the source, and doesn't rely on the main melody throughout, keeping it fresh.

Neat! I'm hearing some influences from Hybrid, specially the drum programming. Lots of stuff going on here. Keep in touch with OC will ya? =)

Best remix of the Ice Cap Zone ever made!

10/10

Personally, I don't think a lot of the Ice Cap remixes here really preserve the spirit of the original that I love so much (which seems like a pretty hard thing to do). Fortunately, that's not the case with this one. The original is pretty well-defined in this remix, yet does something new with it... And I like it. This remix and big giant circles' Eastern Ice Field are definitely my favorite Ice Cap remixes.

I don't mind the arrangement itself, and the synths are wonderful, but I really think the string and piano samples are terrible. Both sound very fake and for most of the song they just clutter it. I guess I wouldn't notice it if it didn't sound like they were doing the same thing over and over. Blah.

The string's presence isn't necessary most of the time they are playing, and something beside the piano would have fit better. A keyboard maybe?

I dig this; I'm really lovin' that industrial sound. Sorta reminds me of a few of those Ayla tracks that were poppin' up back when I was in high school, though this is much heavier than those things ever got. Some of the synth sounded fuzzy, but I didn't mind it much. Could just be my speakers, they're gettin' older. Love the source, and this track is a good, solid tribute to it.
