Default OCR00002 - Bonk's Adventure 'Prehistoric Xmas'

Bonk's Adventure 'Prehistoric Xmas'

This is the second piece of music I heard here at OC. This was created back in the old days of DJ Pretzel and Fresh Greens. Yes, DJP used to be schizo and thought he was two different people, until he killed the Fresh Greens guy. Boy has DJP come a long way since this. I don't quite get the "X-Mas" connection, but virtually every instrument warps and distorts as it plays. You can hear some potential here. I really like the second half of the song.

A techno ReMix that, in my opinion, sounds almost like an orchestral piece with the beat cranked up, and all the instruments fed through some kind of funky "Electroniconizer". It has a very light, ambivalent to life kind of feel, and made me feel all nostalgic, in a "Remember all those great games you played when you were a kid. Back in the days of 2D..." kind of way. It really gets great in the second half, with a greater emphasis on the drawn out notes and the fast-ish beat in the background. By the end, I am always left with the silence for a mement, deep in thought, almost mesmerised.

Subjective Wish-I-was-a-kid-again-O-Meter: 7.7/10

Default 2nd Coolest caveman ever!

coooool, this is one funky little mix, although it took awhile for me to link up the mix with the beat from the original T-16 music. Very jumpy and happy just like the music for Bonk's should be! um....i don't feel much Xmas jolly coming outta the tune though, instead it seems to have some Chinatown flavour to it, haha. DL this mix people!

ps: when i said 2nd coolest caveman, it's because the guy from Legendary Axe 1 is the BEST!

Although I don't hear anything much that gives off a Christmas-y feeling, it's a great happy, feel-good mix that's very fun to listen to, whatever time of the year it is. Cool and fun mix, I give it a 9/10.

The title from this remix is ironic. 'Prehistoric Xmas'.
At that time they commemorated the birth of Jesus? I don´t believe in this.

Amused remix. But is not something great. Mainly when compared with other Djpretzel works.

This is one of my personal favorites. It proves that djp has been able to make good music at a certain point, when he was younger

A really fun mix that I like, though there is some sort of piercing high frequency percussive hit that hurts if the volume is up too high. Though it has a WTFesque name, it has a lot of cool synths and some fantastically rolling rhythms. I don't necessarily think "cave man" when I hear it, but I do think of light-hearted fun, and that translated well into the Bonk world. Stuff like wandering around, bustin' up stuff with your gianourmous head, eating meat that has been lying on the ground for who knows how long, chillin with the cave ladies; that kind of thing. If Bonk had a low rider, you know he'd be bumpin to this all day long.

Upbeat, cute, but I do not detect Christmas. The name confuses me.

Every instrument distorts, and not in a bad way. Very interesting, and unique.

Nice work.
