Well, the arrangement is top notch. And there are a lot of interesting ideas... but I just can't get into this mix.

It sounds so incredibly fake. And it's a shame, since it's obvious Mr. Sisk has an ear for music and arranging.

I would have loved this mix if the entire thing had a sound/soundfont overhall.

Disappointing, yet promising.

Fake? Man, I don't think it's trying to sound real at all. Just good. It's so cool.

Anyway, for those who don't know, the Terminator 2 soundtrack was done by Tim and Geoff Follin, the guys behind the amazing Plok soundtrack...I was just listening to the NSF of Terminator 2, and they do some really stunning things with the NES soundchip...I'd expect nothing less from the guys who produced the best sounding music from a SNES soundchip in Plok.

When I listened to the WiP of this way back God knows when, I knew that there were some rough parts to it, but that with a little love it could really be a great mix. I kept the original cuz I liked it a lot, but it seems Lorenzo has ignored some of my advice. There is no "transition" per se, there is simply the ending of the first section and the start of the second. I thought the arpeggios were really crappy too, but the part leading to the end with the synths sounds a lot better. I don't think sample quality is an issue, as the mix doesn't really try to be realistic. With the 8-bit drums you can tell this is a very synthy piece. If the transitions were better (if there WAS a transition) and the middle section were cleaned up it woulda been better. But it's ultimately the artist who decides how his piece is gonna end up.

Nice electro-clash piece.

Sounds a bit broken.... like it's a four-movement sonatina... which is kinda neat but a bit jagged to call it one inseparable piece. An electro-clash sonatina..... *walks away... even remembering the WIP*

I love this mix, I noticed that everyone was complaining aboout the sample quality.

In my opinion the low quality works perfectly for this mix. It just sounds right.

It get the NoWave seal of approval.

This is one that makes you wonder "WHY DO I LIKE THIS?". I cant honestly say why. But ive always loved the terminator theme, second only to the robocop theme. Darn you machine men! and curse your cool remix Kevin!

Default Very Awesome

This song is very authentic in terms of Terminator. It gives you a feeling of Fear, and funky futuristic retro game feel. Overall, this meets the standards of any gamer fan of the Terminator series, but also gives you a very "Futuristic Demon Machine" Feel oftenly overlooked because of the fact that the Terminator was known for instilling more action and explosions than fear. Awesome work Lorenzo! :D

At first I was listening to this and thought the song ended, and a new one started, pretty distracting really. Arrangementwise, there are a lot of great ideas presented, but the sound quality throughout brings it down. The lead synth is nice, but a lot of the other instruments lack depth.

I really love it, since it has the dark feeling I get from the original Terminator main theme. And it has some serious cool oldschool trip hop/hip hop in it too. And then some awesome electro . So it is a very beautiful piece, and well. That is I call music in the hip hop/trip hop and electro genre. Thumps up awesome piece very cool cover
