Q*Bert 'A!Bol hardcore'
JAXX brings the pain with this chip grinding mullet whipping bad ass of a track. very heavy interpretation of virt's quirky track for a gameboy version of the ancient game Q*Bert. definatly cool. |

This one starts out good and only gets better. Very good work from JAXX, with killer rockin' whoopage and nice transitions. Great track the whole way through. It does get just a little boring after you've listened to it about a hundred times or so (like me). ;)

You want heavy metal remixes? YOU'VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHH!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!! *beats random passerbyers with 2x4s while screaming* Any fan of heavy guitar based remixes will love this. It progresses so well, using a great synth...thing before the guitars. You would think the remix would be great even by staying with the synths, but then some ripping guitars come into play that would sound great on loop while driving on the highway. I put this on a cd a long time ago. Oh the memories. A lot of the feeling has drained out of me from listening to it so many times. A good pause is a great remedy. |

This is great...
So great in fact, that I've converted it all to guitar and bass, and my band is covering it. The initial synth line is now a tapping bass line, and all the synth solos are now guitar solos. This is my favorite OC Remix, bar none. |

This song is undoubtedly THE defining example of a perfect video game remix. It just blows me away. JAXX was more than successful in revamping the entire song but keeping true to the underlying theme. Can we say "ubermix"? ;)
The timing in this remix is perfect. The synths alone are flawlessly executed, and he even throws in a beautiful oboe sound, followed by heavy thrash guitar. Normally, one would wonder how a mix could progress from haunting square synths, to an oboe and soft strings, then top it all off with mind-blowing electric guitar, but somehow JAXX has done it! The transitions are smooth and flawless. (I don't know how many times I can fit the words "perfect" and "flawless" into this review, but I mean every word! ;)) Even if you're normally not a fan of heavy metal (like me), you'll still love this song. The guitars may be mind-blowing, but only because of their sheer power. They aren't aggravating at all, but fits perfectly into the melodic sequence by accenting the awesome minor chord sequence. This truly is the ultimate remix. Gets a perfect score of 10 out of 10 from this audiophile (like nobody saw that coming... ;)). I tried very hard to think of something, anything wrong with this mix, but I can't think of one single thing. Even the length is optimal, although I could listen to remixes of this caliber for a long, long time... I find it hard to believe there are only six reviews on such an awesome remix!!! :P This is the kind of song that leaves such an impact on me as a listener, that I'm going out of my way to dig up and download everything else this guy has done. Do yourself a favor and download this song if you haven't already! -Samus |

has an underwater feel to it, especially when the waves pass by around 0:10, 0:20. arrangement decisions are superb. everything's spot on, and the timing of the thrash guitar's impressive. this is one of those mixes that’ll have you anticipating what will happen next

Hmmm... the toms sound soooooo sequenced. I've met really good drummers, but there ain't any way to do such. However the synths and the guitars and the synths go together well. If this was in the WIP section, I would have asked harsher hits on those toms... but it isn't. Aw well. Good nonetheless.
