I use an uncommon form of variable bitrate that winamp doesnt calculate very well at all. The song is 5:07 by my watch. Winamp will say anywhere from 6 to 8 minutes ;p

Its a 'problem' with all my remixes, but I do it because the mp3 quality result is superior to the more 'standard' ways and still works on all players.

Very nice. Liked it so much I'm downloading some of your other stuff. Long and varied enough that it feels like two songs without ever getting boring. I especially liked the guitars. (how'd you do those?)

Like I expected, this is quality. Or, more specifically, DKC2-Protricity quality. ;)

I recommend downloading this one. For starters, "Haunted Chase" itself is a cool song, but this remix makes it sound cooler. The guitar work in here is good, as well as the synth work. The drums really pop out, too.

A real "big" part is at around 2:52 when the guitar work gets just plain cool. If that was the only good part of the mix, I'd say download it, but as it's a great part in a mix with great parts, download the mix anyway. ;) It also gets nice and sweet around 4:07, and, for some reason, faintly reminiscent of Silver Junction/Launch Gully in Blast Corps. Nice heavy/grunge (?) part there. If you have the time (about 35 minutes on a 56K), this is DEFINITELY something worthy of a download.

And yes, it is only 4:54.

Although the guitars aren't the most realistic, I was highly disappointed...

This song didn't meet my expectations... winamp says 6:37, and I only got to hear 4:54...

I mean come on, if you're expecting protricity quality music for 6:37, you best get it ><

^_^

yeah this was an excellent mix done by protricity, very creative very interesting, and it's incredible how he can take any voice/patch/soundfont and make it sound incredible. I love the guitars, I love the synths, the orchestra, the drums, his arranging and notation is awesome.

I'd give this song a 9/10 by my standards. if not a 9.5

Download or die.

I should be liking this mix - I liked your others, and the way you put the song together is great here too, but too much synth - almost everything sounds synth. Bothers me somehow... especially the guitar and the horn. Still, quite a bit of skill obviously went into this, bothersome samples can't hide that :)
