Colour me unimpressed.

Those drums are pretty brutal...

Sounds to much like a WiP, imho...

Yes, it's a bit rough, but I feel the judges did the right thing in posting this mix. I like it, it's diffrent.

This mix was cool. It reminded me of the F-zeroX soundtrack album. Its a bit rough, but cool none the less. Also, the F-zeroX tracks are notorious for the heavy drum sections.

My only comment was that I wish the bass was louder.

Since i have never heard this tune before I cant say how creative it was compared to the original.

I think its still a good listen anyways, and everything shouldnt have to be 'perfect' to get on ocremix. For me its the creative edge that i like to see with remix's.. now how well it was produced.

being a long time fan of tony's music, i've constantly overviewed his work and he's also an incredible composer of his own music. This Fzero X mix was in my opinion very powerful and the live guitar just added such an effect, the bass and synthed instrements flowed very well into the song and overall i'd give this song a 9 out of 10 :D looking forward to seeing some more submitions

what can i say? this song is just my flavor. good job to tony, i think the mix was done well, and the judges were good to post it. this might not be for everybody, but at least it isnt some cookie-cutter cut and paste song. he went in a new direction, and i appreciate him for it. i dont think that it would be good for any composer to make a habit of remixing songs with this much grit around the edges, but at the moment, it is a breath of fresh air.

As with all F-Zero remixes this captures the feel of the series. Quick and fairly hectic but it's a bit too quiet.

DEFINITELY some mastering issues, but at some points the guitar soloing gets very good. As DJP said though, some like it, some don't. DJP also referenced Supergrass, an awesome band that doesn't get enough airplay, but anyway, I am of the variety that doesn't like it. I am a drummer, so bad drums really really stick out to me. And these drums are...welll...bad. The guitar sounds too faded out, and the bass is non-existant. The whole song doesn't really progress much. The whole thing is just a big long guitar solo, with some non-too-good keyboards stuck in at parts. Sorry, but I don't feel any emotion coming out of this mix. Reminds me more of Dynasty Warriors music actually.

Since my speakers don't have any subwoofers and my recording equipment is just a Creative microphone, it's hard for me to mix songs well...
I've messed around with the volume bars, but I'm still not sure of the result...
Normal
Drums and bass
Just drums
Maybe I'll just stick with MIDIs...

EDIT: Oh, who wants recordings of the F-Zero X: Expansion Kit version? I just found these songs 2 days ago and I wish I had found them sooner because my only reference to some of these songs were low-quality movie clips of someone playing the game. The engine noise and boosting made it very hard to hear the song.
Big Foot - Also Devil's Forest 4's BGM.
Regeneration - Silence 3's BGM.
Rainbow Road - Mario Kart 64's Rainbow Road F-Zero X Style! ^_^
Roller Coaster - The song I remixed. It's Mute City 4's and Sand Ocean 3's BGM.
Thanks to falcon at Dream Chaser for recording these. One song is missing though; the Japanese song with Kotos.

Oh, and please don't hammer my server or anything like that.
