first listen:

nice drum work *clap clap clap*

reverse kick... ummm.... ;)

The build between 1:55~2:05 sounds quite weak... I mean it's only drums. Drum roll sounds a tad too cliche.... filtering sweep riser would make me .... make me... go wow?

Going anywhere? Sounds nice and fluid... I don't know about it going anywhere... but nice variation you got there. Nice nice.

Pretty good... just that build seems weak at that particular spot.

Pretty nice stuff. I wish the bass kick was louder. The piano stuff is really nice, as is the synth that begins at 2:17. 2:47 is kinda weird, but not that bad. Nothing in this mix blows me away, but it's quite competently put together and enjoyable.

The drum "fills" are pretty nice. :) I'm not a huge fan of the reverse cymbal though; It's too frequent and has a very short attack. I also wish the bassdrum was a bit more pronounced - this mix needs some drive!

More gooks and a stronger bassline could really bring this to life. Right now it just doesn't satisfy.

The vibe I get here, is cheap 80's German techno.....

I don't like the drums, I don't like the crappy synth that comes in at 0:29, I don't like the way the song builds to nothing, I do like the paino work, I don't like much anything else...

Overall, I give it a 2/10.

The original was kind of a hard song to interpret, so I have to give kudos on that. But this arrangement, while not repetitive in terms of the leads, just doesn't seem to go anywhere. It doesn't have a clear build up to anything, which just makes it better background music than something to really focus on. Maybe that was the point, I don't know. But it is a worthwhile listen.

Okay, I thought it was freakin' incredible. Maybe it's because I'm not exactly a normal connoiseur of music, and the extent of my music knowledge was high school band, but I really enjoyed it for the ambience, not to mention the retro-groove.

Can't wait for Ninja Gaiden for the XBox. Makes me happy I own one. :)

Sarge out.
