Default OCR00395 - Blazing Lazers 'Industrial Bubbles'

Blazing Lazers 'Industrial Bubbles'

This starts out sounding like something from the Demon’s Crest soundtrack. Didn’t care for the samples that start at 0:18, they remind me of breaking glass or something. The percussion is okay, and the main “bow” sound is annoying, but the background choir sample is nice. The sample that sounds like a turntable is annoying also, but the pinging sound that starts at ~1:10 is as good as the choir sample was. Otherwise the mix just sounds like noise to me. The beat/bass only area at ~1:40 is okay, but soon after it starts that “breaking glass” sample is playing again, and I just find that annoying. Overall, I can’t say I liked listening to this mix. 1/5

Default T-16 LIVES!!!

cool, it's amazing how a game like B.Lazers got a remix, yet T16's flagship guy Bonk's DOESN'T have a mix. but i ain't complaining, Lazers had a very strong soundtrack. I DO remember this level too, especially that guy in the background going: oow, oow, oww... This remix, captures the essence of the cold deadness of space, and also like it's name implies, there's this constant mechanical assembly-line feel to it. Very cool, i like the echoy chimes ringing too! great job.

It may sound like "noise" but the samples are very nice with a very cool beat line and everything that is constantly changing. I don't think the "bow" sound is annoying at all. Of course now that I say that and listen to it again I notice it does have that "bow" voice/sound a lot and would get annoying if you didn't like it, but I do like it. Never played the game but I don't really want to slap myself silly and get a rom, I wanna keep the essence of the mix as a "song" itself.

Any fan of industrial probably already has this mix.

The first 8 seconds are insanely good and sorta dark, from :09 to :17 it's okay, that noise that starts at :18 I do not like. From :45 to :53 it's good, but I don't like that noise that starts at :54. From 1:29 to 1:37 it's good, and I don't like the rest of the track.

So basically make an entire song consisting of loops of the first 8 seconds on this track, and you got a nice wicked song.

Somewhat-industrial meets somewhat-80's-new-wave. I have to agree that the sound effect is way too loud in the mix, though the drums cut through pretty well.
Can't say i'm a huge fan of this mix.

I've always appreciated how someone can make an industrial track. I think this track is pretty cool, and I don't really see why the other reviewers have as much of a problem with it.

That being said, it's not my favorite mix, and I agree that from about 2:00 on it turns into a bit too much of a mess, but I think the track's alright.

It's a bit all over the place, isn't it? There's a lot of very cool sounds and combinations, but it doesn't progress too smoothly. I wish it did, I'd probably love it! Not quite a keeper as it is.

I think it's pretty damn cool Blazing Lazers got a remix! While it might not be amongst the better on the site it has a certain charm. I bet this was pretty challenging way back then

I like this. It has a good feel to it, it was actually kind of fun to listen to, so I can't imagine how it would not have been fun to make. I have no gripes with it, not even with some of the sounds used. Industrial done right!

Wow, everything in this mix sounds fantastic! I love the effects you used, especially right at the end. It begins and ends really nicely, and the middle is an atmospheric, sharp trip. Good job!
