Ahhh...I remember those days. I remember those mixes. And now that I've got this soundtrack, I'm tempted to download the fabled nine. I enjoy the light, fluffy electronica sound up until 1:40. It smoothes out from there, building up into a light melodia sound that I love, then breaks into a neat guitar sample (is that live??) at 2:45, then slips so smoothly into electronica again at 3:22, building itself up and then keeps the steady rhythem throughout, with a few retro sound effects here and there, sprinkled effectively. I enjoyed this remix very much, and the entire soundtrack is incredible. Awesome work, fellas (and to the female vocals inside. Breathtaking, ladies, breaktaking.)

Oh, and I adore that musicbox ending. Delightful.

Laid back grooves to the max. Love the lo-fi and the piano is great, the song has a lot of heart and you can tell which makes a really good sound all around. Cheers on the project

Wow. Way to promote a project!
This has, in a very short time, become one of my favorite arrangements ever. Groovy, crisp production, interesting signal processing and general goodness.

I really like how well the percussion blends with eachother despite being completely different in character. The piano is beautiful too. The guitars works very well too, although I think I heard some clipping? Maybe it was my speakers (or an intentional artefact) though..

The part at 3.25 is simply amazing. Great textures, reminds me of The Knife and that's probably the best compliment you can get from me. Nice chopping there too. Ross Kmet is really setting out to be one of the most impressive sound manglers out there. Teaming up with Taucer was probably the best thing he could've done. They really complement eachother perfectly.

This is a beautiful arrangement in every sense of the word. Thank you.

First off, wow yeah, I remember that Radical Dreamers flood, it's when I first discovered the site actually... WAY LONG AGO... when I was spamming the site for Lufia mixes not knowing how to use a message board, fun times.


Onto this song: Great textures, I love the EP too, holy damn. I love EP RHODES SJKTLSTAJKLJGKA:GJKALFJg



Very nice... I like the bassline especially... Nice laid back groove, then the piano part is just pretty, love ballad-ie... I also like the ultra crisp drums with the ethnic percussion backing it.

The guitar is kind of abrupt to me when it first comes in, I would have probably liked the guitar to have a more subtle weave in with that piano (a couple measures before, like a low crescendo or something) but it's still nice so w/e. This is just nitpicking anyway.

The synth at around 3:40 and on is a nice changeup, especially when it gets all staccato... I actually laughed at that synth at around 4:10, but when the guitar came in under it all was well.


OVERALL VERY COOL MIX, LAID BACK AND NOT TRYING TO BE SOMETHING IT'S NOT... It's self-contained and pretty. The soundscape here is great, and it's not even made by anso HEHHEHEHEEEHEEEE - Oh yeah, and The Knife - Heartbeats, YUP


Cool.

Loved this mix when I heard it a while back. Kudos for Ross's first post! You took your time :P. Nice work Geoff on the acoustic side. This song has a great contrast between two distinct atomspheres.

Come on Ross! Get a solo mix done!

well, i loved it. which is why i picked it to be released first. first mix to be started and finished for the project (darangen's was first to be done, but he started it before we did), first mix to be accepted at OCR for the project, first mix to be released.

my favorite part is when the guitar comes in after the keys. fantastic job, you two.

EDIT - forgot this is ross's first mix. what a fantastic way to get onto OCR =)

Erm... I'm having issues with the download; it's cutting off at the end, just after the music box comes in. Only a couple seconds missing, but there should be a fadeout there. (Not sure if it's just me having this problem or what)

I didn't notice the fade-out had any problems in the torrent I downloaded.
