This is endblink disappointed.

I liked the idea of the original 1000th mix better.

The 1000 Remix.

A SMRPG Remix.
A Jazz Remix!

I liked this very much. The Booster theme was a good selection to do Jazz from, and the sax work was great! Here's to another 1000!

Hmm...
I feel like the sax gets lost sometimes in the other aspects of the song, which is bad cause to me, the whole heart of Booster's theme was that sax. If the sax was kicked up a few notches so it didn't seem so background...
Other then that of course, the rest of it sounds great as usual. It doesn't quite sound surf-like, but it does sound like something for the Pulp Fiction soundtrack. The background again seems to take a lot of precedence over the sax itself, but it's put together really well, so I can't completely fault that.
The ending left me wanting more...like it wasn't a real ending. Maybe a solo ending would have left me feeling better about it, but...
Of course, I love it. It's just...it falls just a little short of my expectations I guess.

Wow, I guess I got my post deleted by DJP, that's kinda cool.
Anyways, this is great stuff. If I didn't know it was electronic beforehand, I probably could've been told it was real and not second guessed it. The sax sounds fantastic with the over compression and when the keyboard comes in it really sounds old-school. When I was reading the write-up I was actually thinking "Wow this is so Pulp Fiction!" So I guess DJP really hit the nail on the head with what he was goin' for. I love the Booster song, and this is a different, yet whole-heartedly satisfying song to kick off the next 1000 mixes. :)

High quality production. Obviously a lot of time and planning went into this remix, it was really well made. But that being said, the song won't get a chance to play twice on my computer, it's already deleted. If I wanted to listen to 'surf' or pulp fiction, I'd either go back to the 70's California or buy the Pulp Fiction OST. "Oh I'm sorry, did I break your concentration?" Come on DJP, the majority of your fans (myself included) would rather you stick to what brings home the bacon, not the spam.

Good stuff! This theme, in my opinion, is much better than the Booster Tower theme, and more entertaining to listen to. As such, this arrangement rocks, with awesome instruments and a cool beat. Two thumbs.

The first time I listened to it, I thought it was repetitive, while still loving the second part of the original playing and the solos and stuff. I listened again and everything manages to be new with each phrase...except the second to last one...that's the only one where I felt repetition. That was the only bad thought coming to mind, other than the possible "I wish this was longer!" The good I had in mind:

1.)It's from the main booster tower theme, which I've been waiting for a mix for a long time.

2.)Most everyone has said everything else I was going to say.

I wonder if that guy who mentioned 70s California would have kept it if djp hadn't mentioned Pulp Fiction or surfing. It seemed to be the only purpose for deleting it. Why someone wouldn't want more of its style if they were to do those two mentioned things I don't know.

I am so putting the top down when I ride with this playing in my car. This has that open linen shirt, sunglasses, hair blowing feel to it as you're cruising doing 65 down a sun parched highway. Definetly dig that.

I was a little perturbed when I first started listening because I wasn't picking up the SMRPG vibe, but then when I started NOT listening for it, I realized how it was there so sublime.

Very cool DJP.

I bet it would have come out really well using a six-string as the dominant instrument too.
