VERY NICE!


I must say the brass in the begginning sucks..... But this is very cool later on, a very very ethnic middle eastern sound on that May(clarinet sounding flute). The string stabs are not the best Ive heard, but i certainly couldnt do better yet. I love the percussion you are using in this.

(is that Sonic implants Silk road? I have it... and if you can get this sound out of it, I may have to go back and start looking at it again! Or is it yellow tools? )

That is a bad ass gong btw...

A shame its so0 short. it builds up and builds up, and then... stops.
its was beginning to sound like Harry Gregson-Williams ala MGS:SOL... I was so expecting the technic sound to come in, but it never did... :(

Good work though. More than worth a few listens every now and again.

Yeah, the initial subdued brass is fairly clunky, but that's my only real qualm with this - executed very well given the samples used. Does cut short just as it seems like it's getting ready to take off, I wish this song was twice as long - but other than that, it built some nice tension all the way through.

Great ambient orchestral work, with a nice soundtrack feel... I like it!

[Kaede_X]

Great stuff.
Very atmospheric.

Very well arranged. I have never heard the original, having a distaste for Halo, but I can say that this mix is very well done. I, not to beat a dead horse or anything, also found that the brass samples were a bit under par, but look whose speaking, so...

Somewhat anti climactic. For all the buildup that happens in the final act, there is little payoff. Still, the mix itself is well done. I applaud ye.

[Scuba]

You can easily tell this guy composes for movies, everything about this song was atmospheric. So, yes, this would be good for a movie (Halo movie?), but not for stand alone listening pleasure, it just got a little....boring. Good remix none the less.

Ok, I like this a lot, I can't even begin to start making songs in this genre, but I'll tell ya what... I'm now pumped up to make a halo mix my self :)

I thought the horns were good, despite what everyone else says. It's just extreamly hard to top the games existing sound track. Those vocals are just too cool, thats why I think I'll sample them when I make my version. Or sing it my self I'll leave the rest of what I'm going to do to be a suprise :)

thanks fellas!!! wew hew! Finally made it in OCR!

If you liked this one, look out for my "Master and Chief" track. Its still in the "submission phase" and will most likely take a bit to get reviewed. Oh well. Lots of time. Lots to do. Of course, you can d/l it at my site as well. I appreciate the kind words about my web work DJpretzel!

I didn't mind the brass at the beginning; there's a beautifully done spot right at 0:50. The strings later on bummed me out, though, especially since they're so heavily leaned-upon in the arrangement...

But the arrangement kicks my ass all over the place. The mixer's cinematic background is quite obvious. The way it climaxes and dies away at 3:45, I can just see the title of whatever it's previewing coming up on the screen with release dates. But ask me if it's overly cheesy or in any way bad or unpleasurable to listen to... and I'll say "whatchu talkin' bout, Willis?" All in all, this is a very tight, professional piece of work that gets top marks with me.

I completely disagree that this isn't listening music. This is exactly the sort of music I do like listening to. Although I agree that the brass samples are kind of meh, that doesn't stop this from being one of my favorites on the site. Great job.
