Lyrics!! Yay!

There aren't enough songs on OC Remix with lyrics and this one is awsome.

Slow, relaxing beats and a soothing vocal track.

Good job on this one. It's great!

[FlyingFox]

This song was well made into this slow late night jazz/trip-hop mix.

It's very funny to hear slow hoppish beat flows with the jazzy backing and how everything comes in and out (the dueling vocal riffs... Woo :D ..) It reminds me of those music used in some 90's ads in the UK.

I dig the way this is put togeter, the song/vocal is used to give the feeling floating in the sky on top of the smooth flow which uses deep sounds to make the song/vocal seem all that much in the clouds.

So close your eyes and let the song take ya to the skys to look at the stars up there:D.

edit: I hadn't heard of portishead, so yeah I what to check out thier song out now!
As with some BenCousins remix, I would like someone to try to rap to that beat :P

Usually, I try not to resort to foul language when reviewing something, but I must be truthful. The only thing going through my head right now is:

WOW! THIS IS FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC!

djp nailed this one on the head: I would SWEAR this was a Portishead ReMix. In fact, I have a feeling this will be popping up on P2P programs in the near future as "Portishead - Metal Gear Solid 2 Remix" (mark my words). It sounds THAT good. Hell, it sounds BETTER than some of Portishead's work! And that's saying A LOT.

Nice feel, nice sounds, nice lyrics. Recorded a little low if you ask me. Would have liked the piece a little louder all around, but fortunately, that's what the volume knob is good for.

Never played MGS2, but would love to now JUST to hear this song and hear the difference in the mix.

Wanna know the sign of a good mix? When it plays well under repeated back to back listenings. I think I've looped this one 8 or 9 times now, and it's STILL incredible.

Download this NOW. You won't regret it.

[Dev]

Wow. Simply wow. This mix = fucking incredible. Everything about it blends so well. I've been listening to it for about an hour now, and as endblink put it, it's still incredible. I usually don't review much either, but I just had to type something up for this song. It's that good. I've never heard of Portishead, so I think I'm gonna go check that out tonight.

Download it now...you'd be missing out if you didn't.

[SnappleMan]

While I don't really dig the mix much, I gotta give the man some respect for basically composing his own song around the lyrics. It works perfectly together, very polished, and is it just me, or is there something.. creamy about it?

Still, I don't really like the song much, but it's an absolute masterpiece in terms of composition and style.

[Adhesive_Boy]

Heh. Within the first :20 of this mix, I immedietly thought "Hey...this sounds A LOT like Portished". And apparently I was right on. Kinda weird, considering that I've heard very few of their songs. Anyway, BenCousins had this up on his original mp3.com site awhile ago, and I thought "are those vocal samples from the game?? He can't have recorded it himself!" But he did. That's insane. And this is insane - insanely great, of course. Download. Now.

No, they're from the game, it's from the song that plays over the end credits. I have the original track on my computer. And this version tops the original by a mile. I was just saying a few weeks ago how I prefer remixes of older games, because for newer games it's tough to top the original track. BenCousins sure shut my mouth. Amazing work--I agree with djp, one of the best remixes in months.

EDIT: Or did you mean the samples from 2:00-3:00 and from 3:33 on? If you meant those vocal samples, then I misunderstood you, but the vocals that sing the lyrics are from the game.

[EmptyMy]

yep. this is wonderful. this is my genre of choice. i wouldn't try doing anything similar myself, because there's no point to it. i'd only ruin it. this is... the way it's supposed to be done. wonderful.

[pixlz]

easilly *easilly* one of the best mixes on the site. in fact...... i thought this song was a poor choice for the ending credits of the game.

but christ..... if they'd used something like this remix for the games end credit sequence? o.O; even the games ending would've been perfect.

just..... amazing.
