Default OCR00457 - Wizards & Warriors 'Grosse Lederhosen'

Wizards & Warriors 'Grosse Lederhosen'

This one is interesting to say the least, a very upbeat loud kick electronic sound. The only thing I can say that I don’t really take to is the arpeggio that starts at about 2:53 and completes the song. The instrument used for it sounds too much like it’s just a drum with no pitch change at all. Besides that, the rest of the mix is great, right up my ally. I especially like the Pulp Fiction sample, nice touch Grodan Grobi.

First of all I must say that I really liked the soundtrack in the original game and also the game itself! This remix is based on one of the best songs in the game, in my opinion, and it`s really well done altough I personally could`ve survived without the voice sample that`s played a couple of times

This is a really nice song, gots a fast beat and a decent melody. It captures the essence of a gauntlet frenzy type game.

Oh and for those wondering, the name translates to "Big Leather Pants"

Another remix on the site that has several variations, This one is pretty good, with a very driving hardcore style beat with a smoothed out arrangement of the theme on top of it.
I didn't really care for the vocal samples, though I almost never do, but there was some pretty cool counterpoint lines with some interesting effects applied. There aren't really any B sections to speak of, though the original didn't have one either, so for an earlier mix, it's not really an issue.

Ah, oldschool OCR... this was a pretty cool mix when I first started checking out the site around 4 years ago. Doesn't really cut it by today's standards, but the integration of the voice samples and some nifty synths did set it apart from total suckage - even if the samples are a little lame and the arrangement isn't exactly stellar.

That cymbal gets a workout, huh? It's a pretty standard take on the classic theme. I did like some of the synth choices in the song, but this thing got old pretty fast. More variation could have made it a lot better.

After reading Palpable's review, I do have to say, holy cymbal, Batman!

Lame phrases aside, definately a driving beat we have going on, and the vocal samples, while interesting, aren't really doing it for me.

I like the soft synth floating in the background, it contrasts the 'doop' synth well.

Little repetative after a while, but overall and alright mix.

wow i just reviewed a mix of the same song by CheDDar right before this. strange to hear the same source twice in a row.

my favorite part is the arps that come in at 1:45ish, although im pretty sure thats a preset, not written arpeggios.

correct me if im wrong, but i keep getting the feeling that i am hearing a lot of sytrus presets. sounds like default FL is written all over this.

Wizards and Warriors, great source tune. The Pulp Fiction quote was a great introduction to this pulse-pounding rave piece. I love how the instruments fade in at 1:30. The break section at 2:00 was a neat part with the mix driving without the pulsing beat. The melody portions alternate very well in the mix, without overriding each other.

Of course, like most rave songs, it feels somewhat repetitive. This one less then most though, because it has a lot of nice alternating parts.

I like the intro, nice start.
The quote is great and really sets the tone.
Very light and quick paced, which is nice.
It is repetitive, but I guess that just comes with the territory of being a rave song.

Of the three Wizards and Warriors remixes that I've reviewed so far, this is the best yet.
