I have been privy to many of RTF's tracks in recent times and I have to say, he continues to amaze me. He has a talent for sequencing and some very creative ideas in his head. This track finally gets some OCR lovin' and I know for a fact that it won't be the last time that we see Red Tailed Fox posted on here. Great work!

I've been listening to this song quite a bit over the last couple months, and it still hasn't gotten boring. The new part at 3:47 is a welcome change up, not that this song lacks variety by any means. The beginning is very atmospheric - definitely well done, and does a good job of setting up the mood for the rest of the song. Very accomplished mix, even beats out Wood's Motel in my opinion (though they are close). Good luck in the future RTF, and thanks for ending my long wait for new high-energy Hyrdocity. :D

I've had an earlier version of this on my ipod for some time now, I was exited to see it posted on OCR with some changes made. Though I'm a bit particular to the old version since I listened to it alot, this definately has some good additions. Adding the main melody back in around 2:40 worked well, and the little solo a minute later is cool (though I think the transition out of it is a little weird).

I liked it before, and I still like it now. Good stuff, RTF.

This is definitely a case of awesome arrangement winning over professional sheen. I'm glad cool mixes can still make on virtues other than production values.

Well, whatdoya know? A Red Tailed Fox remix on OCR. LOL.

I remember when this awesome track was still a WIP on Vgmix. I kept track of its progress, meaning I've kept pretty much each WIP version he posted on vgmix. I gotta say, this remix has certainly gone through some changes since, but good changes mostly. Although I'm quite partial to the finished VGmix version, this one is still quite enjoyable and is definitely going on my hard drive. While I noticed a number of differences in this version that I personally probably wouldn't have made, I have always thought very highly of this remix even in its early stages, And I will continue to do so.

All I've got to say is this.


Red Tailed Fox...welcome to the family.

I'm not too crazy about this one. Everything sounds pretty low fi and the sounfield feels pretty empty. Many of the samples are downright awful- for example the strings- and in desperate need of humanization. A lot simply doesn't sit very well in the mix. The various little synthy ornamentations sound haphazadly pasted around at :45-1:30... and more or less throughout the song. I like the use of a breakdown to emphasize melody. The groove is pretty reasonable, and the drums do change, but really, that's all there is positive to the song.
I actually don't mind the compositional choices 3:50-4:10. It was a nice breakup from the rest of the song and was probably the best segment in the arrangement.
I feel this is well below the bar. The production doesn't come close to even say, BitMap's BottledMetro, and the arrangement doesn't come close to making up for it.
Sorry.

I don't think instrumentation is an issue here at all. No, it doesn't sound "real" by any means, but I think that what's there goes quite well together in the style.

It has a groove, and the song has been on repeat since I got it. The samples used don't grate on my nerves by any means, and that leaves me quite open to enjoy the piece. Congrats to Red Tailed Fox, I'm loving this.

Being realistic or not is just a task of choice in my opinion. Still I think this arrangement is great and the sounds used fit very well. Awesome addition to the site library.

Do caralho cara, parabéns!!!
