Honestly always felt that Earthbound (Mother), went its own way in bgm tracks.
It felt ambient, yet spooky. Yet the artist behind this tribute, did a nice cover, yet gave it their own spin.
If only 8-bit could sound like this now.

Ness fights on to save Earth!
*never will forget that crazy adventure..

It's a damn shame that Adhesive Boy's Earthbound project kicked the dust, as the soundtrack really had the potential to shine in a 'Relics of the Chozo' ambient style (not to say that Bound Together was crap). Nevertheless, here we have one of the fruits of that labour, with AB's own track in the judges panel at the moment. Binster obviously knows what he's doing, as the mix goes on adding more flavour and variation- the transition at the second minute is pretty strange, yet interesting. The second half manages to keep the classic Earthbound style, while changing it around sufficiently. Nice mix overall.

Binster is a remickzing bastard child of goodness. Every track is always awesome, no exception here, the man always knows what he's doing and whatever he wants to pull off he can with amazing production quality and makes it seem eazy(p ;))

Seems a bit too 'busy' and sometimes my speakers had a slight 'buzz'



But I like it overall.

The first part is just one great crescendo that heaps effect ovr effect onto the piece, until it all seems to just fall apart.


Then it starts to build again.
and build
at about 3:40 my eardrums seemed to explode, but I couldn't bring myself to turn it off, it just kept my attention too well.

The source seemed buried at times, almost lost completely at others, which isn't bad, as it shows some of the mixer's composition.

The vocal samples seem out of place at first, but once you start to recognize what they're saying, (if you can) it fits beautifully.


Overall: 9/10

This pretty much sums it up. It is indeed a cool thing that Binster and all of us do around here; pay homage to source material... and it is really cool to hear something this complex and seamless pay homage to one of the best soundtracks of all time.

A great mix, an up-and-coming great artist, and potentially, it wouldn't suprise me, the author of one of my favourite songs.

Now let's hear you REALLY wow me Binster with a GREAT source piece.

I'm thinking of putting something in my sig that just says something to the effect of "if I bother posting in the review thread, it means i loved the track", and then just posting with a smiley face emoticon or something in all future threads.

Anyhow, the mix evoked a smile on my end.

Well, binster should know by now that I really like this track. A smartly designed piece of work that eclisped my own expectations.

Now when are you going to submit Home Sweet Home? :P

Cheers for the kind words, all.

EazyP, you make me blush

Less Ashamed, you got any particular source piece in mind? No promises, of course :)

irriadin, I'm going to have to look at Home sweet home again, I think. I overworked it, and it turned out a bit poo, so I'll give it a refit to bring it up to the standard befitting a track with a GaMeBoX guest appearance...
