Very good song, I am a fan of gitars in remixes. This song does a good job of that and keeps up the excellence mostly through the whole song. The only downside to this song that it does get kind of repeditive but that is understandable. I recommend you download the song, never hurts to try something at least once.

This is a great interpritation of the Title theme. I like the style you used. It is a clean, clear mix. I was hoping to hear a "remix" of the Wizards and Warrior song, just as you did it.

Very nice work! I will keep listening.

What can I say? I'm lovin' this (bababababa). Some pretty nice guitar work going down, which is the beef of this one. Drums are pretty average, but they fit the requirements for a song like this. The ending took me off-guard, way to sudden. I guess that's the only thing I can really criticize about this one. I'm recommending this one pretty highly. Nice work, and happy Thanksgiving. :D

Great mix, my only complaint is that Ryan8Bit already made an equally awesome version of the same track. :)

Which can be found here.

However these two mixes are quite distinctive, and really the only thing that's the same is some source material and the basic genre. There's a lot of differences, enough for me, certainly. The feel is very different, for one. I think this one goes more places, as well. Chances are if you liked Ryan's, though, you'll also enjoy this.

Keep in mind, it would kinda defeat the purpose of this site to have only one mix per piece.

Now, my thoughts on this one... I usually don't post reviews, but I thought I'd add a good word... I enjoyed it, a good rock piece. I'll take not the next time I see Spinning Images come up!

EDIT: On the ending... I wouldn't say it was too sudden. The mix doesn't lend itself to a gradual stop - maybe a long fade out could have worked, but given the driving nature it made sense to do it full out til the end, I think.

I really enjoy this one. All of the instruments are done well enough as to not distract from the enjoyment of the song in any way. Great driving tune! All in all quite good, except the start of the song seems a little quick. It's like it starts with a fast fade-in or something. But this tune should definitely be downloaded if you like guitars, and ones that are recorded very well at that!

Am I the only one who finds this empty and boring?

It sounds way too unenthusiastic, like elevator music. The composition could use alot of variation and some more things going on in the background. The playing could be better, timing issues mainly. The guitar tone needs more gain to it. The bass sounds off at times, the drums could be more creative... but, I shouldn't go on about what it COULD be, and take it as it is, a cool, but mediocre mix. I like it because I like the game, I don't know if I would otherwise.

Thank you, but this one is quite a different style, and equally enjoyable. Certainly better in the production area than mine was. And a bit longer because of the Double Dragon incorporation.

Anyways, aside from the good production, this song is good. I can agree with some of the statements of it being "garagey" because it sounds kind of like a band that I played in (although better). This song almost sounded like you could've plugged some words into it, too. It might've broken up some of the repetition of the drums. Also in the review was how it was similar to Rize, but I wasn't really feeling that. To me it seems like most of the guitarists have quite a different style around here.

And I'm not sure how you recorded, but something one can always benefit from is multiple takes, especially around 2:28 and 4:04. Otherwise the playing is great. I look forward to more from you later.

I think the production on this mix is considerably better than that shown in my work at OCR. The guitars are around the same I think. They definitely doesn't sound like a direct feed with bad amp simulation (Legendary Strings). The drums sound a good deal better as well (in terms of production) though I think the snare has way too much in the high ranges. And the overall equalization is much better than in Rude Awakening. My next mix will feature major changes in the way I produce though, so as to how accurate this comparison is, I don't intend for it to be accurate for very long!

In terms of the composition itself, I'm not enjoying this all that much. I just don't think I'm a very big fan of the Iron Sword melodies. There is a lot of originality and heavy interpretation on the original theme which is generally a cool thing, but there's nothing here that just grabs ahold of me.
