Wow...Fire vs. Ice month. That was such a cool compo. I remember how huge it was back then. Can't remember this remix in particular, though. Either way, excellent job in re-working it for OCR. One of the coolest tunes in DKC2, indeed. Loving the energy. Loving the guitars.

We need more tunes submitted from Fire vs. Ice month. Norg's "Black Ice" Chill Penguin remix would be great for OCR!

Doesn't sound as tight as other Scaredsim remixes, and the arrangement gets a little repetitive within each section, but with a lot of different sections that's not much of a problem. The tone is also a little repetitive, which some more synth use could have fixed, but the synths I did hear were all great, wish there was more of that. Highly enjoyable, probably one of those tracks that really grows on you. Great guitar remix of a great source.

I'm not really sure if I like the mix or not,I just think it was a little to repetitive. Just a personal preferance, more bass and a bad ass drum beat. That's all I'm saying for that

Default Good stuff.

Very nice. I agree on the repetitive part, but that's what old school video game music is. All in all, it's a solid piece. Keep it up.

This mix is really lacking a heavier bass section, which is really wierd. I would have to say that the production here seems really wierd. I hear the bass, it's doing its thing, the drums are going, but the guitar sections sound so out of place here. They have a nice live element to them, but I don't feel that in the rest of this.

Still though, nice take on the theme. Enjoyable, but sadly not memorable. I would have to say that looking at the production would definitely be my best advice for the future. That guitar stands out too much, and not in a good way. It just doesn't sound like it belongs, and I'm sorry I can't give any better critique than that.
