I've been a huge fan of your more recent stuff, Jimmy, but I wasn't feeling this one all the way through. I didn't like the first synth lead and the lead at the end Dave mentioned as much the guitar lead, which was kickin'. Wouldn't have minded that used all the way through. But the rest of the song - the beat and especially the effects - was awesome.

Jimmy did a nice job on this one. Bassline at the beginning is pretty sweet.

Nice use of tubular bells, also.

I'm not sure if I'm feeling the fast section and transition. It works, but it feels a bit unnessecary to me.

Overall, good job.

Love the slap bassline. Agree with Palpable on the lead synth in the beggining, could have used a nice synth lead layered in. Although it does have a very nice megaman vibe to it. :)

Arrangement is pretty killer along with the transitions. The pacing is nice, the song is always moving forward and keeping the energy. The breakdown section was pretty killer too, loved when the energy picked up in it. Good stuff Jimmy!

Say what? A remix by Big Giant Circles? Oh you have my attention already!

Stunning, stunning, stunning! The introduction made me have to replay it to make sure it was real and that my brunch pancakes weren't making things sound sweeter than they should be. How wrong I was, as I only loved it more the 2nd time! The guitar in this ReMix is absolutely beautiful sounding and goes well with the toughness of the track. The guitar sounds a lot like "The arena" from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

LOVE the pace change near the end. It was so well transitioned into that I didn't even notice it happen when I was typing this review with half a pancake flopping out of my mouth.

To sum this ReMix in 2 works?

You just couldn't! Beautiful stuff BGC.

Thanks for the reviews guys and gals.

Thought I'd throw in some fun trivia/explanation as well. This mix was actually made (well, most of it anyway) over a year ago. It started out as a candidate for SF2T HD of course, so therefore, it was pretty much a straight up cover, and obviously not very OCR-passable.

The first minute and a half (pretty much until the *good* electric guitar comes in) is exactly the same as it was back then. There's a pretty obvious difference between the synthetic electric guitar in the first part of the song and the electric guitar at 1:30 or so. That's because the first one is simply the "inferno" preset in FL's Sytrus plugin :)

I did not at that time have nice things like Guitar Rig and my new nifty plugins that I've acquired in the past year, otherwise, I'd have probably used the same guitar patch for that instead of Sytrus. Turns out I was just too lazy to change it when Larry and Dave asked me to revise the track to accommodate the OCR criteria a little better. Let that be a lesson, kids. Laziness is going to score you more complaints than praise

Anyway, moving on, the transition/fast part was actually again, the "heavy damage" version of the song intended for in game use. Larry dug the track, so he suggested I fuse the two together. So I did. I know it's not a *perfect* transition, but eh, I have to admit, I myself was fond of the fast portion, and rather than it either not get used at all and recede into the realm of projects forgotten or whatever, I decided to go ahead and shamelessly tack it onto the end.

And that's... the REST of the story![/paul harvey]

So lIeK, tHaNkZ 4 LiStEnInG GuYz!!! <3

This is just awesome, the bass line is killer, but when joined by those groovy as hell drums... just epic.

I also love the leads that you chose, that guitar synth rocks.

Even the ending was awesome, although unexpected.

Basically, awesome. Not got anything bad to say here, downloading now =D
