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

Wow. I've never heard of Salamander, nor am I familiar with Commandcom's work, but this is a really incredible remix. A great level of detail was put into each instrument, and everything is mixed together so that no single element sticks out improperly. Even the vocals blend in perfectly, and provide a haunting sound. I applaud the creativity of this remix. Though I think it should have been 192kbps considering the length.

Glad to hear Voices of passion in this mix. It's nice to hear outside of their demos. I wish you guy's would have no voted it just so he could make it longer. Not that it's too short. This is pretty brilliant.

Not heard the source before, but this is a solid piece of work from a lack of source knowedge perspective at least :P

A really cool fusion of electronic and classical music, with some vocal parts near the end that just seal the deal, and solid production as well.

Its a little short tho :P

Awesome work that I would recommend.

Sound awesome dude! Kinda has the feel of a downtempo battle theme with subtle edge to it.

I still wish this was longer overall, but what a great ReMix. Some really exciting sections mixed with some new age sections and a great original melody makes a very solid listening experience. Well done!

Getting some Jean Michel Jarre vibes from this.

Thankyou all for your comments, really! Again, as in the Snatcher one or any other I may get into, the real genius is the original writer. Those Konami guys were (are) really talented. As the spirit of this site encourages, there's so much under rated incredible music in videogames it is hard to believe. For me it is a pleasure to revitalize some in a way it can be re-visited and re-rated so it recieves the credit it deserves.

Being said that, I allways have the a mixed feeling about what I lika passionately: I tend to be happy with what I do, but at the same time not sure if it is what I meant it to be in the first place. And in this case it is specially true, as i've tried to do this mix almost 5 times from 1992 or something. So, there was so much I wanted to transmit while being faithfull to the original that, ultimatelly, I may have failed keeping focus on the source wich, for me, is a killer one.

So I'm happy that you like what it has become in the end but please, take a listen to the original game and, with perspective, you'll find an amazing soundtrack that maybe someday gets the recognition it cries for.

Finally, I'm sorry I don't get to make them longer! I don't have all the time I'd wish for this and I must get it done as quickly as I can. Nevertheless, I'm halfway through the final one (King Kong 2's main theme, MSX2 (1989)) and that one, if accepted on this site, will be longer... a little bit longer.

Best,

Jorge

BTW, I can't believe the irony of this: As I said, for me, it has been a long trip from 1992 to make this happen and... look at the ReMix number. 1992. :P Spooky.

pretty good stuff, though it took me a few listens to really get into it. excellent variety of instruments with a nice clean sound and great production. nice work!
