Default OCR00537 - Mario Paint 'Load/Save the Last Trip-Hop for Me'

Mario Paint 'Load (Save the Last Trip-hop for Me)'

Gah - I'm loath to criticize anything that Disco Dan does, since I honestly love his stuff, but something about this song grates on my nerves. I can tell DD put effort into making this sound good, but I think he didn't have very great source material to work with here - listen to the song and you'll see what I mean. It's like trying to get a wonderful acting job using the Episode 2 script... the source material is crap to begin with, so there's not much you can do to make it wonderful. So I guess I'm saying I don't like this mix, but it's not DD's fault - it's Mariopaint's.

I have to disagree. This remix grooves and is very loyal to the somewhat spacey feel of Mariopaint. Disco Dan also made some very mature minimalistic choices. Well done!

This sounds a lot like the original. But aside from that major flaw, it really grooves well. You can put this on and space out...
Which is good if you want to space out I suppose. Not one of DD's best, but still a good listen.

It's been a while since I heard this song. And I can't play Mario Paint anymore because the my SNES ac input shorted out or something :( The original was groovy enough, but this mix raised the notch.

I don't really know what the complaints were about, but I enjoyed the basslines, drums, everything. Must be due to all that 90's hard house I've been listening to, because that's basically what the structure feels like. My biggest gripe is that you could've really built more onto the melody.

i just feel like reviewing disco dan's masterpieces hehe.

right now, its on this one.

me and my wife jam to this jam. we have our own dance moves to it. haha. we do a special robot dance to it.

discop dan, if u can make us have a geeky dance to a song u remixed, then its a success.

Honestly, I did not like this mix at all when I first heard it. Although, listening to it a little bit, I really started to get into it. It brought back memories of Mario Paint, and it really made good use of an otherwise, confusing song. I never could figure out why it took ages for it to save, nor why there was a robot, and such a strange repetitive song playing... But DD, you have shed light upon all of that, and saved Mario Paint... For me at least.

I find myself grooving to this every time it comes on my player. It's just one of those aquired tastes

Nothing special... it SOUNDED like it was gonna be good, but was kind of a let-down to hear the piece to the end and realize it had plateaued from the very beginning. All he does is take the rhythm from the original game and make it longer?

Sorry dude, try harder.

I have to admit, I was expecting a bit more from a DiscoDan track. It follows the original pretty explicitly, and though it's cool because i haven't heard this song in almost a decade, and it's the game that got me into my lucrative profession (oh yeah, thank you mario paint, i never did thank you), this track does all kinds of dropouts and subtle additons, but it feels like it's just treading water. It's got as good groove, but never really goes anywhere.
