Zelda 2 'Temple Trance'

This, folks, is trance done right. Great sounds, great DSP, and high interest for most of the time (though it does start to drag near the end). Overall, a job well done, and a remix highly recommended.

I thought Blind did an awesome job in remixing the temple theme in Zelda 2. Very fast paced with a solid 4/4 beat mixed in with some sweet trance synths, kind of similar to the trance styles of the famous FFMusicDJ.
You've gotta check it out for yourself because I definately recommend it. :)

Okay, let's be honest, yeah, Zelda mixes are done to death, but then again look at the Final Fantasy section, not that it's a bad thing.

This mix in particular from bLiNd is totally chillin'. The wonderful synths used throughout as well as the excellent use of the bass line and drums make this a worthwhile mix to have in anyone's collection.

this is indeed, trance done right....everything about this mix is amazing....this is one of my all around personal favorites. Not to mention what a cool game to do it to. AMAZING JOB ON THIS ONE! :)

Only this.. It beats the Super Smash Bros Melee Remix of the track.. nuff sad

[skawttieboy]

Agreed, but I still reallllly enjoyed the track from SSBM :)

[Woffester]

This is a very well done track, and from what blind said on VGMix it sounded like it was his first mix ever...alls I can say to that is DAMN.

Actually, i started remixing by adding beats to nes songs, then i started my own work and THEN i made Dream of Zeal and Temple Trance (in the same week actually) So i had quite a bit experience with arrangements and mixing beforehand. Im currently working on the DKC water track just cuz i love that song so much, peace -Jordan

This remix truly sets itself apart from the rest of the trance and similarly styled remixes on this board.

Just about all of us use electronics heavily in our remixing, and this technology, I believe, lends itself to creating music in the techno/trance/electonica/etc. styles. Hence, so many of our submissions our based in these styles. Some may also consider it easier to compose in this style, but that's certainly up for debate.

bLiNd's remix is unique in that it shows actual understanding of good trance--a knowledge of dynamics, percussions, effects, timing, and the like. Far beyond the usual 4/4 with some synths, I think bLiNd has paid an enormous amount of attention to detail, and it has resulted in a very rich remix. This piece constitutes a strong effort, and anyone who's familiar with the game or song owes it to themself (or bLiNd, for that matter!) to give this a listen.

Thanks for the good music.

Just wanted to say how much that I personally enjoy the mix! I think that the electronica elements, transitions, and sound editing are particularly good in this piece. Everything seems appropriate! I definately give this one a 10/10. He is just able to put everything together smoothly!
