Fun song. I've recently been going through the music over at RKO, and this is right up my alley. The blending around 1:15' is just nice on the old ears. Excellent work. In fact, I've had this on loop for the last ten minutes or so. :)

Here's an unusual little diddy... which is... of course... trance in general. :P

Trance has never really been something I can get into... it's just not catchy enough and tends to sound weird. This song makes no exception since it has the usual repetitive synth, weird background sounds, and an over-used catchy section. It's perfect for those trance fans out there, but that isn't me.

The production is fairly smooth, not real noticeable balance issues. The arrangement could have been better, but it's not bad either. Maybe just a wee bit more variation to the melody... if there is a noticeable melody in trance.

So basically... trance fans go ahead and listen... anybody else... well... I dunno what to recommend.

whoo boy that clipping is pretty grating on my end :[

edit: or not. first download got corrupted halfway through and clipped for the rest of the track.

That crowd effect is amazing!

I'm always of the opinion that for a site whose existence simply must denote an understanding of how great remixed videogame tunes can feel to veteran players, OCR often gets more anal than makes sense. A site whose listeners are inspired by reliving and recreating these tunes, yet technicalities, while not the only factor, seem to always be the deciding factor in judging new arrangements.

Or in short, this tune sounds so light and fun and it bugs me to think that some technicalities about what this isn't got picked on and as a result I almost never heard this. And yeah I too love the crowd heh, fantastic. =D Its like simple, easy mass happiness when I hear that.

Anyway, not bitching for a solution, just bitching 'cos I was reminded. I really enjoy how this mix makes me feel. I agree that it does stale out later on, but it doesn't make it a bad, just more plain than it was teasing us with. All its doing wrong is not matching the hype it created to start with. Imo.

Lack of innovation does not get points off...just misses out on some bonus points. The arrangement is solid.

I thank Vig (and those judges who adopted a similar perspective) for keeping OCR in check.

quite possibly the most unoriginal, lifeless use of vanguard i've ever heard. not worth the download. at all.

sorry.
