Hey, I remember this stuff in the WIP forum. This is cool and in high quality. I love the instruments, the beats and the technique! The saxophone is beautiful! And this work is pure fun too. Pleasant resources. Yay, excellent work by chthonic.

EDIT: This is your first great remix. This don´t finished!

Wow, although I would have never thought that this theme would be done like this, it's a good thing someone did. This peice is put together very well. Lots of change going off the pace of the theme here and there, and before it starts to get old, moves on. This is something I could put on loop all by it's lonesome and it wouldn't get old. That vocal of someone going "Yeah!" that's in this mix a few times is a nice added affect even. When it goes slow with the sax playing near the end is a nice way to end this great mix. I hope to hear more from this one.

Whoa, the melody feels a lot more slowed down than it really is... Anyway, nice instrumental themes. A bit repetitive [but perhaps deliberately so]. Sequencing is what they call it, I think...?

I'm just going to paste my review of this from the WIP board because I'm a lazy bastard:

I'd say the biggest thing this mix has going for it is that it takes sparse material and tries different things with it - with varying degrees of success. The scratch and vocal samples I find mildly irritating, and I don't know really why they're there in the first place. The sax solo is also completely out of the blue, and though it's sequenced interestingly, the fact that it's a sample and that it wasn't really in any sort of context makes it downright goofy.

There are some interesting effects employed after that, which work pretty well, and a breakdown takes the mix back to the melody section. The major complaint I have here is that while this mix changes up enough to make itself presentable and listenable, there is not really anything exciting or new going on in the arrangement. This would have been a great section for a little bit of deviation from the theme, but instead the synth keeps repeating the same two lines and it starts to become tiresome.

After listening to the ending (which was a neat idea sans the sax), I can tell that much effort went into making this presentable and enjoyable. While a lot of the effects aren't staggeringly original and some don't work incredibly well, there is an energy here that differentiates this from a standard mix of this type and puts it above the bar. So all in all there's room for improvement but this is not a bad effort by any means. Good work.

This is a great track. I really enjoy all of your creative sidestepping in the main melody. Im really looking forward many more remixes from you! That sax is especially great. very well done!!!

nice. i was getting sick of listening to all the techno i have saved over and over again and i finally found a new one i really liked. it would've been even better if you worked in the metal mario theme as well, though.

[LiquidTrance]

very nice mix. it sounds trippy and relaxing. the yeah! sample is used incredibly well. great job

I don't like to pin myself down by choosing a "favorite" type of music. I'm a fan of anything good : wink: That said, this song crosses a number of borders between types, ranging from latin to synth to jazz. I can't say I love all the crossovers, but the piece overal does some really nice things.

However, it doesn't help the remixer to just say, "wow, best thing ever." So if I had to ask for an improvement, I would say that the synth gets a little heavy, and detracts from the nice latin feel of the piece.

Besides this, it is an excellent coverage of a difficult tune. Oh and kudos for putting the original at the begining. Thta brought tears of remembrance to my eyes.

Thta was what I was going for. :)

Also, here's the song's VGMix page if anyone's interesting in reviewing or toplisting or clicking on the little exclamation point.
