Default OCR00120 - Castlevania 'Vampire Killer (Deadcorpse)'

Castlevania 'Vampire Killer (Deadcorpse)'

Children of the Monkey Machine delivers a mix of distorted synths, drums (with nice panning BTW), with a touch of oddity. At some times minimal, other times it's all over the place (in a good way). I like a lot of the stuff in this mix - it plays on a lot of variation of the main tune which is great. Everything seems to be in the centre more than anything, which at times can muffle out certain parts (especially when the distortion synths come in every now and then). Thing only thing I didn't really like where the synth strings playing the main melody at the start - I think a slightly different sound would have been a little better as the one is a little thick. Overall a good job from Cotster.

The first time I listened to this song, I didn't pick it as a favorite. However, after listening to it several times, I've come to like it quite a bit. I love the synth strings and the modulation, and CotMM's classic static sounds are awesome. The use of the melody is outstanding except near the end where he plays it in a different key, which doesn't come out quite as good as the rest. Despite this, it remains a very good piece, which has earned its spot on my playlist.

Default but the memory remains

Heh. my very first remix. Oh how I loath thee. I don't think I spent more
than 45 minutes on this little splatter on the wall. I was totally floored to
see it show up on the site less than a week later. And in retrospect,
I'm even more suprised given that DJP isn't very fond the style of many
of my remixes. Anyway, the different 'key' near the end was a sinewave
modulation of the instrument, gives it that nasty offkey sound.. No clue
why i did that.. I probably modulated it by a sine wave of 666Hz because
I figured subconsciously it would make people uneasy. Who knows.
If you enjoy this, then more power to you. But please listen to some of
my other stuff if you don't like this, because this really isn't representative
of my other work.

I like this song, but I was just wondering if anyone else noticed what sounded like a speeded up sample of Head Like a Hole. I didn't notice it until I listened to the song on a burnt cd. Just wondering if it was intentional or not, or if it was even noticed by anyone else.

Edit: I heard it 3 seconds into it.

*shhhhhh* *hangs head in shame* yes.. it is a clip of head like a hole :(
Amazed it's taken this long for someone to call me on it. *sigh*

Anyway, the last two years worth of remixes have been trying to make up
for having submitted this one. (:

I knew it! I just got this remix and thought "Wait, was that Head Like a Hole?" and popped onto here to take a look! That's the price I pay for being a big NIN fan :)

Love your remixes btw, good stuff.

I'm not sure why CoTMM is so ashamed of this mix. While it may not be up to the caliber of the rest of his tracks, it's certainly not a bad remix.

Very Banging.

I don't like CotMM's style, it's a bit to grating for my taste, but what I do like, are their titles. Seriously, the titles to their metroid songs, are great.

Well, CotMM... This was a pretty darn good peice. Except for the fact that you could have picked MUCH better source material. I'd take the trouble to download it, if it weren't for the crappy melody line. You oughta do this same thing with Wicked Child.... THAT I would download! And there aren't enough Wicked Child remixes, anyways.
