Default OCR00593 - Shadowgate 'Mystic Piano'

Letsee... piano intro goes on for too long, especially considering how that's not too great a piano sound. Freaky stuff going on with the piano after the drums come in. Some wrong notes, but I'm honestly not sure if that was intentional or not - but if the goal was to freak the listener out then Pisces succeeded (meant in a good way, honest!) and the wrong notes work. Good variation on the drum track, though it maybe could have used a tad more. Anyway, not exactly my cup of tea, but I think Pisces pulled this off well.

The intro at first sounded a little long, I do agree, however it does set in that, uneasy feeling, so I wouldn't change it.

The plucked strings in the beginning is an awesome idea for a drum and bass remix. It is almost obvious that the song is going to be a kick butt song after these strings pop in.

The drums roll in and you get that feeling like, OH YEAH, LETS GO KICK SOME.. stuff... =D.

The treble piano melody is perfect, it fits right in with the rest of the beat and gives more to the dnb/jungle feeling.

This piece is highly recommended if you like kind of like dnb. For hardcore dnb fans, I'm not quite sure if the beat is something that would impress you. (although I am thoroughly impressed others have not been). If you like a melody line in your dnb, definately get this piece.

I rate it a 8/10 only because it seems to be too repetitive after a while, and it's a very simple song, but well done.

kudos to you pisces, I'll be a first downloader of your newest remix if you do ever create another.

I can't belive I've never plucked down a few words on this one.
Ever since I first heard it on the judges forum I was in love with the
bizzare little piano trills and ever so crappy piano samples. just
felt dirty, and I loved it.

The drum work has a nice feel, and the whole thing just feels like it's
pushing you toward something unpleasant.

Very cool.

A fairly average song in many respects, but when the volume on your speakers is turned up such that ay louder and they would pop, this song is downright orgasmic, every one of those creepy piano riffs tickles my pleasure center and sends a shock of electric pleasure down my spine.

Definately worth the download.

I really did like it. It sounds good except the ending that doesnt quite work, like humptee free said. I liked the creepy/scary feel too it though.

Default ooooooOOOOOOOOoooooooh!

Brings back many a fond memory of throwing my entire inventory into the fireplace or giving the manticore guarding the toll bridge a broom...or was that Uninvited...anyway, me and my sister were some of the few people that actually enjoy point and click adventures such as Shadowgate, and it pleases me to no end that those off paino notes takes me back to the castle.......Damn, now I wanna beat zombies with an old salami again...
