Damn, I am a sucker for the title theme of MM2, i've always loved it! I got one word for this remix: GREAT

A very simplistic, minimalistic song that still manages to have a certain charm to it. Some of the sample choices left me wondering what the remixer was thinking, since they didn't seem to fit with the genre nor the song.

Obviously, to give a good review I must listen through the entire song. In this one, I was tempted not to listen all the way through. I found myself tapping my foot along with the beat, but the song wasn't enjoyable enough to continue listening to it. It wasn't until the banjo came in that I really became interested in this remix. The banjo portion had depth, atmosphere, energy, and a good variation in the sonic gamut, if you will.

The song succeeds in being a very ambient, laid back groove, but it fails to reach that subtle area where the beat is strong enough to remain interesting without becoming something more than what it is supposed to be. If the entire song could be played as it was during the banjo portion, I would find it much more interesting.

Now that's some fun electronica.

Got this at VGMix too (jeez, it's like a mantra -_-) and I've always considered this a definite improvement over Stomping Through Seasons (got rejected from here a while back).

One thing I have noticed is that most of GaMeBoX's tracks use extensive use of samples, often taken directly from the game. Now that is truly paying homage to a title :)

Overall, a nice, mellow track, with enough bite to make sure you won't fall asleep.

Easy 6 (>75%)

I'm a big fan of GaMeBoX's stuff, and this track I feel showcases what he's all about. It's fun, accessible, inventive, polished... everything your ears are after... :)

Seriously top stuff - download it now!

Very smooth and groovy remix, had some real good beats to it, found myself many times nodding my foot along the rhytm, good stuff. I don´t quite remember the ending credits, but I recognized the Title screen music, had a...what you call it mellow atmosphere to it. Maybe not as much skills as the other remixes, but this one clearly succeded to create a calm mood to it, the banjo at the end helped in some point with that, interesting choice of instrument.

By the way, this is off-topic, but do you happen to be swedish?

I've loved this mix since I got it over at vgmix. It has a certain charm to it. Just when the song opens up, it feels really nostalgic just from the (awesome) samples you use. A lot of nice mellow grooves here. Very unique and fun to listen to. Great stuff to chill out to.

Strolling past OCR and new mix and whats this? GaMeBoX! Everyone I know is getting onto OCR but me D:

Anyways it's a fun song to just kick back too. The from game samples are used nicely and the pads really give the mix a flooooooow. And mabye it's just me but, his is something that's going to be playing in the background of the MMORPG's I play
