Ah, excellent ambient/electronic stuff from t3h orikkal0n, who never ceases to suprise me. I'm not familliar with the original, but the composition and presentation are all solid. Very nice guitar work tops this one off for me.

Nice work.

I like the groove here and the sounds are all interesting. The guitar is kind of clipped and lo-fi, but it's done in a way that's non-obtrusive (at least on the speakers I have now) so I don't have any complaints about it.

My main issue here is the actual melody - this was a really complex and developed tune from the soundtrack that had a lot of cool subtleties. Here, there are remnants of the original (played by a vibraphone that's a little synthetic for me) to make it recognizable, but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of substance in general. I guess I wouldn't have as much of a problem with it if you couldn't do this with literally any tune from the soundtrack with relatively the same results.

In the end it's a interesting and very listenable mix; but that doesn't substitute for the fact that the arrangement itself is pretty underwhelming.

I was a big fan of the original version of this mix course, but I didn't realize how much better it would get with some guitar added. Awesome! Also, congratulations to TO for having the first remix ever to come out of PRC and make it to OCR!

Not true... but alright...

Yay TO! Yay PRC! Yay OCR! YAY LETTERS!

I really do like this mix, it's very fluid and enjoyable. The guitar though, IMO, while amazing in sound quality and technique, is very loud. I would have mixed it differently.

But stil, not at all bad... that was a good PRC too, everyone should check the other entrances out. 8.5/10

I'm very fond of this mix.

The rythum(sp? )the beat, the melody, and the timing. It all just hit me the right way. When I first heard the guitar I thought it was going to be too raspy for my likeing, but two seconds later I realized it was great.


At 1:21 (I guess what you might call the chorus) those guitars hit in the background though it sounds like there is alittle bit of a piano jingle going on. I think it would have sound even better if that was just a touch brighter.

In the end..is is excellent. Very well done work.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

For those of you who think the guitar was balanced wrong, or too loud. I actually have a second remastered version of this that I released on a soundtrack for a game earlier this month. If you really want to hear it (and some other guitar pieces that FIDGAF and I have come up with) you can download the soundtrack here:

The Remastered version of this remix is music_bar_generic02.wav

Glad to hear you like it.

Pretty nice stuff, mellow.. I actually really enjoyed the phrenetic pace of the original Swivel theme (SD3 rulez) but this is quite a unique take on it. I have to agree with the judge analoq though, the guitar at 1:21 is a little jarringly loud but the rest is great.

It's kinda sad, but I really like the electrical sound coming towards my right ear, and out past my left ear. :) I've been told that was gimmicky, but I'm easily impressed.
