OCR00227 - GoldenEye 007 'Controlled Jazz'

Minimalistic jazz of the classic bond theme and mustin on sax? sounds like
a winner to me, and my ears agree.

Deep groovy Bond beat. Peeples' "Controlled Jazz" style actually works quite well. Peeples' piano bits and Mustin's sax are both groovy but not outrageous. What are you waiting for? Get it already!

Right away the drums are perfect, and so is the bass and so is the instrument doing the bond thang (forget what it's called). However, the piano sounds a bit plain to me...dunno why, but I guess I just expected it be a little "jazzier" and vibrant and less plain. When it gets to the sax solo (which is awesome), the piano part gets better, and the solos after that sound pretty much perfect.

The one main problem I have with this remix is that same one I have with pretty much everything by Scott Peeples. It is very well-arranged and sounds good, but it's just not dynamic or intresting enough for me to keep listening to it over and over. It's just background music that doesn't catch my attention enough for me to get into the groove...

THAT...WAS...THE...BEST...REMIX.......
seriously, that was my favorite song in goldeneye. even though i was paranoid after that bitch wouldnt hack any faster. but anyway. peeples put a whole new edge on bond and the whole plot of the music. i enjoy listening to something that isnt just someone playing with ATARI 2600 sound effects. nice work peeples, make another, what are you waiting for?!?!?!?!

Excellent!

I really liked the fact that he didn't stick to the perfectly "Bond" song in this one, and he pulled it off great. I have never heard a James Bond song turned Jazz, and I liked it alot .

The types of instuments I heard really set the whole thing off. The piano is excellent, and the sax really gave it a Jazzy feel. And the guitarr; Beautiful work. Perfect beat with the drums, too.

I like to keep these things short, so, long story short, if you haven't heard it yet, listen to it and love it!

Oh, one more thing: Scott Peeples; Nice job. Keep this up and you should have a contract with any music label you want soon.

Some of the mixes way WAY in the back (this one was on page 2, I just don't understand what they're doing there.

I remember this one from way back in early 2002 when I first sat down and listened to mixes from games I had played, and the arrangement here was pretty pimp and laid back. I didn't know who Mustin even was back then, but the sax solo was quality and another good aspect of the track.

Solid stuff, and a good example of the older material here. Goldeneye's a pretty popular game; not really sure why this and the other 007 mixes don't get more commentary.

I'm not digging the guitar samples, but the rest of the instrumentation is pretty damn nice. The piano seems a bit tinny to me, but it works well enough. Sax solo was all about the rhythm and tone, not too much the melody. Nice playing though.
Overall a pretty chilled out BG track, with an underlying edge to it. It gets better as it goes on, taking more creative licenses, and its a pretty good source as well.
Overall pretty fun stuff, I like it.

This is an enjoyable mix. Really laid back, good a good groove to it, percussion is really nice. Nothing at fault, though as some mentioned, it's not something I'd listen to just for listening, it's more of a background piece.

A keeper, though. Nice work.

0:40, anybody else hearing Red Brinstar there?

This is one of those tracks I stumbled upon before getting the torrents. Was on my playlists unchallenged for a while. Understated, great background music when working, and it's got a nice Bond sound.
