What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix.

I've already looped this track a good 10 times now; it's definitely too short! You can totally pick up the spy influences from beginning to end. It really wouldn't have been a surprise if this was found in an espionage movie, like zircon said.

Very awesome stuff here, Jorge!

Cool track nice espionage feel. Sounds like somethin you could use for a tv series. Good production, everything fit together nicely I was fixed to the song the whole time =).

[Forderz]

Sounds like something that would be playing as Bond skirts by the explosions raging around him and start to chase the Bad Guy(tm)

Hello!

Thank you all for your great comments!

I'd like to encourage you to have a listen to the original tune, as well as other music in the game.

Chek this youtube link: SD Snatcher Intro, Sequences 1 and 2

"Difficult Move" is the title of the 2nd sequence, the tune that starts with the "SD Snatcher" logo and goes on with the credits of the game.

Then, if you have 3 more minutes to spare, check the 3rd sequence of the intro here

Chapter 3 ("Modern Crusade") is pure genius. (in youtube, is called "Intro Part 2") It is the sequence shown to the user once he's entered his name and the game begins. And what is really remarkable is the way this "simphonic poem" a-la-Gershwin, never looking back, gives you a precise snapshot of what's gong on emotionally. (One can almost hear the Russian Choir in the Chernorton passage), and done with a superb skill. It almost seems easy....

Again, thank you all.

Best regards,

Jorge

Great textures, and I really like the smaller details, like the layered synths, the wah guitar bits, and that kettle drum roll. I wish there were some massive sections where the track really opened up, especially at the end; I think a huge ending would have been more exciting than the way it sort of faded out. Despite this, it worked out really well, and remained intelligent and sophisticated throughout. I'd have never heard this soundtrack if it wasn't for your remix, so thank you.

Well, well... so you noticed it, :D

Indeed: There's one whole layer "missing" here. The Big Band Brass. From the 2nd chorus (in wich the main motif basically repeats twice, just like the second repetition of the first occurence) the extra BRASS should come in to make it one step further, and so to place the seed for the double-extra brass and fills-in over the "ending section" a la Bond Big Band, so the roller coaster is fully up until the very end.

I even started it, but work (and life in general) made me stay in this Defcon 3 instead of getting my hands reaaaally dirty. (Really dirty, as you can see, although balanced, there's quite a lot of stuff going on, so fitting this extra stuff would require more extra work than the proportional benefit)

So, yes, you're right. But then, again, it is quite groovy and just works like it is. :D

Best regards,

Jorge

Woah. I've listened to this song nearly 200 times in a 24-our period. THIS IS GREAT! I'm so glad Snatcher is finally gettin' some love! Wonderful mix, dude, to such a wonderful game!

[LuigiFan]

This is some excellent stuff here. I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of this - you really nailed the espionage feel of it. I can't really find much to critique about it, it's such an excellent piece. I'd be really interested in any tribute album you released!

[Martin Penwald]

Definitely nailed the spy-movie feeling.

The synth coming in at 1:45 is really nice, and I agree to what was said about the wah guitar, though I wish it would have been a little louder.
