Default OCR00012 - Paperboy 'Peaperboayh'

Paperboy 'Peaperboayh'

Ah, Paperboy. I liked this game for about 20 minutes. This is a cool mix, but of course I don't recognize it from the game. Sounds kind of "house" at times, if that is a legitimate description. Not a whole lot of variety here, but worth a download if you like "Beastie Boys" style percussion.

At the start of this track, a voice proclaims "It's a trip, It's got aa funky beat." This is quite true of the mix, as it does indeed have a funky beat. Except its not really a trip, not that I can comment on that, as I've never tripped. But the best is cool, as is the melody.

The mix starts off ecclecticly, with the main melody not coming in until 0' 17", but starts off with some cool sounding synthed electronic sounds, acompanied by some odd UFO type sounds. It's all good however, and at 55" a piano, I believe, come in, with a sort of second melody. In true techno fasion, we have it repeat for several bars length, until 1' 45" where we lose the funky beat, and focus on the melody.

There's abit of variation in the tune, as the beat come back in, but it still continues repeating, before the voice returns, at almost the exactly halfway point. At 2' 40" some more synths come into the tune, spicing it up, and forming a decent addition to the melody.

At 3' 40", it starts to wind down, and settles with a typical coonclusion.

Not an amazingly original composition, but it's good techno, and the addition of voices with a cool phrase makes it that much more memoriable. Thus, I pleased to award it the follwoing ranking:

Subjective-funky-beat-and-Trip-O-meter: 7.459/10

The first time I downloaded "Peaperboyah" by The Dead Guys, I kinda said "WTF? I played Paperboy and I don't even recognize this." The deliberatly slower pace of this track made me have to listen to it several times in order to pluck the original theme and really get a feel for the track, but I certainly like how this mix turned out after I gave it a chance. I can't really put my finger on what exactly this is, but the sound is unique as far as OCR's concerned. If you liked slower stuff like DarK PurPLe's "The DarK Underground" (SMB2), you should DL "Peaperboyah", listen to it's trancyness a few times and make your decision after that. Mixes like this don't necessarily jump out at you from the first time you listen to them, but I think this one's a keeper.

This is great. The second half is way more enjoyable at a listen-at-one-segment-at-a-time song, but the first half is basically a build to it. I wish there were two versions of this: this one and a "short edit" or whatever. I would always hear this in my mp3 player before I could tell you more than half the names of the OC songs if they played and that "funky beat" sample sounded like this was from a very weird game. Turns out I was right! Definitely try this out...don't let the date posted fool you. Oh BTW "The Dead Guys" have some more mixes on http://remix.kwed.org/ and I'd have to say this is the best out of all of them.

this remix was a very interesting piece of music. i liked the beat and the techno style. i cant belive all of the shit you pack into this overreaction of a game about paper. i think i recall that "its a trip, its got a funky beat, [and i can bug out to it]" from the beastie boys at some point, but whatever. and i just caught on to a guy proclaiming the most likely inspiration to this beautiful musical number, exclaiming "marijuana" . keep up the good work, i have listened to your remix for a while now, and i wish that you could do another. good stuff, good stuff.

Ha! This is very funny!

In contra/position, this remix is good. However in my opinion, that is veeeeeeeeery tiring. I listened this some times and annoyed me. The arrangement is "sad"! The voices are stupids. Sincerely, I don´t like this work. Two thumbs down.

There's definately not enough hip-hop work on this site. Too many dance beats and not enough phat beats. The synth samples in this track are a bit simplistic; that's all I'd change. Maybe throw in some rap... that's it. The beat is hella tight and works perfectly with the piano. Nice work.
