When Rayza told me he was gonna do a remix of the Lava Reef Zone, I didn't think it would come out like this. It was pretty cool to see Rayza switch up his style, if even for one time only. I've heard people make make comments on the quality of those trupet samples before, but who cares? It's the "Marvelous Trumpets Mix!" Right? Right. Oh, and I love that little break at 1:52. =)

Some people have one style of music and can't write anything outside of it. Rayza's not one of those people.

This is great. A very calm mix, brings back some good old memories!

Great mix, Rayza.

I love this remix. High quality instruments. Nothing is lacking here.

I will quote Mortal Kombat:

FLAWLESS VICTORY

I'm not sure what to make of this. Those cymbal hits could go as could the bassline. They are unnecessarily trancy and make the song sound a bit unsure what it's supposed to be. There's nothing wrong borrowing from different genres but they should still complement each other and I don't think that the bassline works with the rest of the piece. I've never been a fan of the rather unsubtle way trance music reaches its climaxes anyway and if I were taking elements of trance to put in my music the cymbal hits are something I'd be sure to leave behind.

The cymbal hits aside I really enjoyed the percussion in this and the performance of the music was good too. I presume that at least some of it was played rather than sequenced. It certainly sounds like it had the human touch. If I was going to be picky I'd say that the epiano is not quite up to the task for a lead role but that's a fairly minor point.

All in all, I'd say this was a nice piece but, although I applaud breaking restraints and mixing across the board, I don't think the trance elements worked so well here.

heh, i have actually had this excellent remix for a good while now (i got the hookups with my bro RAYZA!! :D) *dies*. Ok, when rayza first told me he had done a remix of the lava reef zone with a latin flavor to it, i was like "hrmm, a techno genious going to latin flavored shtuff!" I didn't know what to expect, and then 30 minutes later (dial up) i listened to it and BAM!, i fell out of my chair, when i came to i had hair like EINSTEIN!

(ok maybe i didnt but hey!!) if anyone actually reads these things, just know if you dont download this fine piece of work, then the sun will surely explode and we shall all die!! -_- (someone shoot me please). Keep up the good work Rayza! you remain one of my top favorite remixers! (under djp of course) *wipes some brown stuff off his nose* wonder what that could be? :D.
