Default OCR00610 - Perfect Dark 'Dark Conflict'

Perfect Dark 'Dark Conflict'

Not bad. Choir sample could use some work, and I didn't care for the organ either. But all sample complaints aside, this was arranged very well. I especially like the more suspenseful parts, which is something few remixes around here try.

Very nice...the choir, the organs...it's appropriately "Dark"...

One miner gripe though. The track remixed isn't "Dark Combat," which is the music that plays during Mr. Blonde's bonus level. Instead, this music is from the "screen saver" that plays as the alternate opening cuscene...I can't remember what it's called...

Other than that, "Perfect." Two thumbs up! :D

(ach, that's two in one post! bad Tacitus, bad!)

Well, the name of the track that plays during the alternate opening sequence is called "Alien Conflict." The author simply removed "Alien" and replaced it with "Dark" to preserve his ReMix's mood. Thanks.

Very atmospheric, the choir sounds decent except when changing chords, there is a little over-emphasis. The evolution of the song is very subtle and very slow, which could certainly turn some people off, as all of the arrangement happens over the two chords, which makes things seem stagnant a bit, regardless of the changes in mood.

While the samples are so-so this is still a great arrangement. It really sets a mood. I also like the low-passing of the choir near the ending.
Nicely done!

Not crazy about the 'surge' in chord changes. Just too much emphasis.

Love the dark mood of this, could fit my 'halloween mixes' easily. There really aren't enough creepy mixes on this site.

Thumbs up.

It's dark, it's foreboding, it's got some intense organs and timpanis going.

It's not my cup of tea, but I can't fault the mix itself really. Lotsa foreboding though, I feel like a boss is coming up.

I don't really know how to take something like this... It's moody for sure, definitely very atmospheric, but yet I still can't say whether I like it or not. It feels like there is something missing here, some visual that needs to be conveyed alongside it. I can't just close my eyes here and think of what is going on with this.

As far as music that helps reinforce an atmosphere, I think this is perfect. However, I don't really like this as a standalone per se. It's good, but like I have clumsily been trying to convey, it just doesn't "do it" for me in that sense.

This is dark, alright. The organ is a nice touch. I miss the hitech feeling of the original though, this doesn't feel as haunting or alien. It actually feels a lot like something from Pirates of the Carribean... and yeah, it never really climaxes...
