Not bad . . . -djp

Hey Mr. OCR aka djpretzel aka the judges,

This is Adhesive_Boy, and I've gone for a more "listener friendly" remix
than my past submission. It's still not technically sound, which will never
go over too well at OCR, but I still think it's some good stuff. I did this
for a contest just a week ago (at the time of submission) and I got second
place. So it goes. Here's the link, hosted conveniently on Saunder's server.
You may need to change a few of the Id3v2 tags or whatever, but I don't
think it will be needed:


Anyway, everyone's favorite "ear-piercing" high pitched instrument (called a
theremin) is back, along with some semi-funky keyboards and drums. People
may not like the "theremin", but I do and it's my remix. It's quieter,
though, so it shouldn't be as much of a problem for people. No or not much
Calvin and Hobbes-esque glue and wood as DiscoDan alluded to with my earlier
remix. The middle section is quite weird, but it is just to add some
spooky-weirdness to it and to set up the keyboard solo.

And if any of the judges or whoever are curious, I am not deaf, and I
actually do have a pretty good ear for music. I just choose to put weird
stuff in here. I have no concern with making a remix of a specific genre.
Music to me is something that shouldn't be categorized. So there. There's
much more bass work now, though, to even the treble/bass stuff out...

I hope people like this one. I made this entirely for free with MODplug, and
I certainly had fun doing it. Enjoy. There's something I forgot to say about
all this. I can't remember now though. I hope it wasn't important.

Don't take all this submission stuff I've written too seriously, btw. Just
worry about the remix - I don't want any flaming pms or figurative
pummelings in the nads...

This is actually very well arranged.

Good job. It took me a while, but I really like it now.

Great way to use what you got, VERY nice sequencing. I dont like the techno twips, they are completely out of place !@#$ D:

Yeah I think this is another keeper. Except for the deviation from the original chord progression (which is a personal taste thing) it's very HQ with nice variation from the original but also staying faithful.

YES

Wow. This is pretty rad. Sounds REALLY cool. Definitely enjoyable to listen to. A little strange, but it's all worth it :)

YES

This is one of them weird mixes that pops up on OCR every once in a while. Here's where the objective and the subjective compete and intertwine a bit.

It is beautifully arranged, and it does stay true to the orginial Forest of Illusion, but I'm not diggin' the slightly chaotic nature of this tune. That, as strange as it sounds, is a matter of personal taste and does not reflect the technical merits of the song.


Either it's that or I just don't want to be the odd man out. You decide that one. I'll decide this one. Yes.
