I remember this from a long, long time ago. My favorite part is the flute line. That's the most appealing part of this mix for me. Nice work.

This is very cool. The flute solo is boss, drum programming and samples are very nice. Very cool ending. I'm not a fan of the slap bass sound in general, however. It always makes me think of Seinfield in a cheesey, not-good way. It's not necessarily bad in you mix, but personally, I'm not diggin it that much. Others might. Everything else is super smooth and lots of attention is paid to details. Nice work.

The Melody from the Ice Cap Zone caught my attention when I downloaded McVaffe's "Ice Capped" mix. This Piece has alot of great sounds that come out of it and there have already been several mixes of the Ice Cap Zone already. Darkesword does a great job by giving us a different sound. Nice bass line, great flute solo, and a great beat to move to. It's always hard to try and do a new mix of a song thats already been mixed 4 times making this a 5th mix. All in all it turned out great. Mad Props to Darkesword. Great job this is going on my playlist. :D I'm Out

this is pretty nice. i didn't like many of the samples used, but the song makes up for that with an excellent arrangement. this song is proof of my belief that arrangement is much more important than sampling in a song.

Alright, that flute solo is rocking my world. Almost sounds like it wants to go into Lava Reef Zone The rest just isn't quite my style. It's a wonderful song and all, but just not quite like the stuff I listen to often. But nice work!

the D-man finally submits this. i was waiting to see how long he would do it. the flute part gets me real good. everything fits in great. nice work!

Personally, I didn't think it was all that great. Everything was done well (except the bass). I just didn't find it pleasant on the ears. Maybe it's just me.

Firstly, the bass is eww. I know DS was going for something different than the standard "DUH DUH duhduh DUH DUH duhduh DUH DUH..." bassline, but the octave jumping kind of turned me off. The percussion is pretty nice...I like those little rolls that are thrown in there to give it a more realistic feel. I also like some of the backing, but the instrument that plays the lead is a little too...weak. I would've liked something a little dynamic and a little less synthy warbly. I think that's a stylistic thing, though.

It doesn't really go anywhere beyond the main melody until 1:22, which is a nice change of pace (the garbled synths are pretty neat). The flute solo, which soon comes in, is the highlight of this mix. Once I started to feel that it was getting a bit mechanical, the rhythm would change up a little...which is a nice touch that's sort of hard to show people how to do, but makes the instrumentation sound soo much better. One thing, though. I never thought I'd say this, but the flute's frequency seems to be a little too high, 'cause that thing is piercing my ears at a couple of points in the mix. Otherwise, the mix resorts back to its normal melody, and (thankfully) the flute comes back just one more time to assist in finishing the mix.

Overall, this is nice. I think it could be refined slightly in several places (especially that slap bass), but I'll certainly take it.

Well I wasn't sure what to think at first... I couldn't really see how this mix brought a new feel to the Sonic icecapped theme. But then the flute came in and that funky organ riff, and everything just tightened up into a mean groove machine. Everyone can complain about the bass, but really, it didn't detract (although a different one may have made the whole thing even better). Wonderful work, I am glad to see a real variety cycling through OC Remix these days.
