OverClocked ReMix...

F-Zero 'Mute Radiology'

To say the intro is long is an understatement. I'm not a big fan of intros that are longer than they should be. But fear not for it eventually does start to get going! The sound of some of the instruments in this is a bit agitating. The percussion is good and the bass is nice, but to be honest I can't really find anything else I like about this ReMix. Oh well.

I like watching my winamp Equalizer at the beginning of this piece, it's pretty cool watching it go down the line. :)
Overall, a very nice remix IMHO. Intro is long, but hey, nothing wrong with a long intro here or there. Good remix! ;)

More of DJP's extreme "I have loud snares" stuff, here.

Honestly, I love the phase warping and panning on this, not to mention the oh-so-distracting flanging that goes on during this mix. Wow.

Then again, the first time I listened to this was when I had the volume cranked, and I was wearing headphones. The snares and synth leads destroy your ears. Thank god DJP is equalizing and normalizing now.

All in all, get this mix just to here the wackiness that goes on around the [somewhat long] intro, and occaisionally during the song itself. Good shtuff.

Honestly, I don't seem to understand why some people dislike this remix. Firstly, I think the intro is well done. It's kind of nice to have a remix where it doesn't hop right into the melody right off the bat. Speaking of which, it's also nice to have a remix that takes some liberty with the melody. All in all, I like this remix.

djp does it yet again with another masterpiece creation - this is one of my favourite mixes from him, and with good reason too. I think he captures the feel of F-Zero, hi tech in fast cars, very well, and though I just can't seem to describe this song in words, it's best for you all to experience this yourselves. It's worth the download, and then some.

For some reason my Sony headphones bring the song to a whole new 3D dimension too - if you have headphones might I suggest you use them for this piece.

My only gripe is somewhere in the middle some random sound (I'm assuming it's from in-game but I haven't played F-Zero for a long time) plays quite loudly, but it quickly goes back to the theme. That part might have been done maybe not so rashly, but it detracts little from the overall quality of this mix.

Great work - keep it coming. ^^

heh, I'm sure it sucks writing comments for your own remixes,but this is great, although I think it took to long *or maybe I'm just impatient* to get to the actual theme of mute city, unless I'm missing something. Good stuff.

Okay first off this one of my favorite remixes on the site and certainly the best thing I've heard DJP do i.m.h.o. I like the intro, I like the high energy of the piece and the way that the effects effectively raise the energy of the piece and actually add to it... I have qualms with many other remixes on this site where the effects are used as an interlude to steal the momentum of high energy song or are used in a manner that seperates themselves from musical form. In this piece the wild flanging, filtering, etc. are all used in a manner more along the lines of extreme articulations and lend the piece the most vitality that I have yet seen DJP put into a fast piece. I liked this version of the mix so much that I ended up going back to play F-Zero and am currently working on my 3rd or 4th remix of the same piece which I probably won't release unless I can attain a similar level of energy as that reaced in this one. DJP has added to song with his effects, with his intro and musical deviations from the original and has created my favorite mix of this very cool track.

GAH... I'm not sure if I'm in love with this one. Djp tremendously overdoes all the (them) techno stuff in both volume and pitch. This is one song though that doesn't have that many other remixes to compare it with, which works in its favor. After the "oww my bleeding ears" intro, the song does bob along nicely with its classic melody. 4/8

Good stuff djp. This is a piece that ive liked for a while now. Great intro and the balance of sound and quality is superb. This is very nice... simple as..

Maybe it's just the fact that this was not only the 1st mp3 I downloaded off this site, but the 1st mp3 I've downloaded ever that makes this mix special; but I truly find nothing wrong with it.

The lead sound is a little weird, like an overly-driven guitar or something, but otherwise, it's not bad IMO.

8/10
