Tetris 'Slavic Roots'

DJP's take on the Tetris music is quite interesting. When it first starts out you feel as if you are in Afghanistan or some other middle eastern country. Then the percussion starts and you feel like you are back in the good ol' USA where we have drums! Throughout all of this it still has a Russian flavor to it. The only thing I don't really like is how it ends... It sounds like DJP is passing the melody out of his ass or something. Amusing!

Good, but not outstanding. Probably my favorite version of the Tetris theme on the site. The twangy strings (which somewhat remind me of Bubble Bobble 'Hillbilly Rodeo', also by djp) don't sound too good by themselves, in the intro, but once the techno beat kicks in and the groove starts movin', this mix's quality meter jumps up a couple of notches. I like it, and the best part of it is that unlike several tetris remixes on the site which build off the gameboy version of the theme, this one doesn't include it at all!

Ug. I'm not a fan of this one. This must be djp's turn to mess with a classic theme terribly and screw it up just for the sake of it... jk, djp.... NO PLEASE DON'T EAT ME WITH UR PRETZEL POWERS!!!... uh.. more specifics... the actual "Russian" instruments are unbeliavably annoying and only detract from the song :vomit: . The techno stuff is decent, but that's a dime a dozen around here. I guess if you spend enough time listening to it, you'll get treated to some fun effects at the end. But then you'd actually have to realize that you're spending a large amount of time in your life trying to find out what's good in a remix of a tetris song. You could just get a regular hobby instead , but I think we've all been down this road before. 3/8

[Terance]

This is indeed the best tetris remix on the site. It's original for once *runs* ^_^;

First post, whoo. n.n


This one is pretty good, I thought, I like the foreign feel to it. I'm going to listen to it while I'm writing about a town in something I'm writing that is considered very ethnic, it'll work well for that. So, I have uses for it, heh. :P Overall pretty good, but I wouldn't just listen to it as background music if I wasn't doing anything else, really only for inspiration - which is good in itself.

The first time I listened to this track, I didn't really like it. But I gave it a second chance, and now it's one of my favorite remixes on the site. The balalaika is good, although a bit weak at the beginning, and it picks up nicely once the tecno comes in. And the solos are awesome. The sheer creativity behind this earns it a really high grade. Good work, djp!

Actually, i've been partial to this since I first heard it.
I like the combination with the more traditional sounding balalaika, and the techno combined to make an extremely awesome sounding video game song sound even better still
