Default OCR00419 - Legend of Zelda 'Link's Underworld Pressure Cooker'

Zelda 'Underworld Pressure Cooker'

Maybe this is just the genre or the type of sounds used, but I'm not taking well to this song. It could also be that I love the Zelda Underworld theme, and this is just not how I invisioned it as a mix. It just seems to me that the drums, although very well done and in time with the song, don't fit. That, and it seems that everything is just all mushed together. Underworld is not supposed to be a pretty sounding song in the first place, but I excpected something a little more spooky, and a little less harsh. Sorry, wRenchpilot, but this one can't stay on my playlist. If somebody does appreciate this one, speak up.

While holding the traditional piano background to this remix, the drums and the mechanical/industrial lead grows bigger as the song reachs its finale... very well done remix, while providing a different pov and diabloical twist to the original piece.. excellent job

Ginnsu, have you ever heard Rimco's "Gannon's Hollow"? It's an incredible remix of the Zelda Underground theme, and it's relatively short, so it doesn't tend to drag the way Pressurecooker does. The Underground theme is a very short loop, so trying to turn it into a 4 minute song is generally going to end up with a tedious song. If you haven't heard "Gannon's Hollow", you have to get ahold of it somehow. That song wipes its ass with my face.

Pressurecooker is a very good name for this song. Anybody who can listen to this song for the whole length without getting the slightest bit annoyed has my compliments for their patience and tolerence. That being said I do like the song in general, I think you picked the right instruments to use, but I would have liked the song a whole lot more if it had just been shorter.

Shouldn't I be, hm, I don't know, running away? That's what my brain is telling me, anyways, but the rest of me seems to think there isn't anything wrong. The long and short of it is, I've already tuned it out, more or less. The original underworld/dungeon theme was easy enough to tune out, and so is this submission. Nice try, though.

I really like this remix a lot. I had to listen to it a second time to like it though. The first time I listened to it, I found it to be too repetitive. However, now I really like it. The drum beats rock! Good job!

In case anyone wants to hear it, I'm hosting Gannon's Hollow here:

The synths might be too harsh or something for some people, but I really like this version. It still might be worth a listen for those who wanted something more out of the Zelda Underground theme. Maybe you'll be a fan too.

I like this piece, I like how it was mixed, and I think the little "Link just got killed" bit at the very end was a nice touch...but it's just a teensy bit too repetitive to be as long as it was.

Jesus tap-dancing Christ. It does the exact same thing for 4 and a half minutes...
But in all seriousness, I don't care how interesting your drum loops are. If you don't change up the tune sometime, the piece dies. I felt like I was sitting in front of my NES again, driving myself insane trying to beat the final dungeon, and muting my television because the music was so fucking annoying.

The blunt and fatal truth: Too repetitive. Waaay too repetitive.
The non-specific but morale-boosting truth: It's a great idea, just execute it more creatively.

O-o this just goes to show how annoying the orignal was....this just has better devices used to create it...only thing about it is at the end where it does the little death music.
