OverClocked ReMix...

Turok 2 'Port of Adia Drummix'

I've got seriously mixed feelings about this track. It's really hard to be
too critical of it, because it's just such a fun theme.. Exciting and driving.
The pizzicato strings just push forward so much, and simple rock beat
drums give it a great action movie feel. Really gets me pumped up. But
then it hits you.. The strings really dont sound that good, and the piano
line is a bit tinny sounding. But it sounds so nice. The drums sound
pretty good. Very solid. Give it a listen.

This theme is worked really well in this mix and if you ever played this game for hours i'd reccomend. Good work!

Dude I liked this...you know why? It sounds exactly like the level music in the port of Adia. I have played this game before, obviously. I have also beaten it, it was hard, but i won...but anyways..my fav part about this remix is how the remixer of this song recognized both of the level's parts...so like the last minute of this is the end of the level when you're outside...the beginning is like when you're in the port of adia in the game. Cool remix, dude! :D

I intended to get this mix a long time ago. I really did. And I'm really pissed that I didn't.

JV did a great drop keeping the track to what it is, didn't stretch it into something it's not. I got this expecting to hear tons and tons of percussion (something like rAAw Battery), but it's pretty close to the original, only amplified by good string use and powerful drums.

My only complaint is that the piano section is too loud, and pushes the song a little too much. A minor flaw though.

Great work.

Seems a bit too close to the original. JV kept a lot of the source material here without much variation.

It's kind of hard to criticise this mix, as I really liked both the original and this mix. It was a good early effort, anyway, and I'll definately keep it.

Its a great remix Port of Adia is my favorite level in that game and this just sounds great if you listen to it while playing.

Ahhh Turok 2. Memories galore..many years ago it truly was my favroite game indeed. Cerebral Bore and all

Port of Adia music ? Well to be honest i enjoyed the original tune better.

Nice try though, could maybe do with some other set of instruments..

I agree with RimFrost about the different set of instruments.

Very midi and without a lot of variation from the source. It's a pretty good song, but you can tell that it's a very early sub. The strings sound good when they are moving fast, and the part is pretty exciting, but it gets pretty repetitive pretty fast. I think mixing up the orchestral elements with some more pronounced electronica and improving the samples used would make this mix a lot more palatable. Decent, but not spectacular.

Just checked this out as I'm working on a mix of this myself right now and to me at least 70% of this sounds like MIDI rip + new drums. You can tell this is an early sub but there is little rearrangement here. I love the source and, even though this has parts which are very close to it, it seems to have lost the epic feeling that I liked in the original.
