Guardian Legend 'Big and Blue and Round'

This remix is proof that feedback does help people. See when we judges first got it, it came with a bunch of movie samples that killed it. Now, it's a solid techno track, if a repetative one. Not the best on the site, but not bad either, and still worth a download.

Oh god, i cringe at the thought of this remix being bogged down with lots of voice samples. It's hardly epic, or a truly beautful piece of music, but it's a good , if not somewhat repetitive techno piece.

Nice remix from the n00b :wink:

Well, I'm glad to see more Guardian Legend remixes, but I'm not positive, but that first kick sounds a LOT like C_Kick.wav, the default FruityLoops kick. Slay it; let it burn in the deepest recesses of hell. Other than that, this isn't entirely bad. The bass is very gristly, which I like, but the lead is quite normal. Basically sounds just like a square 2-osc synth to me... I do think it drags on a bit too long, though. Plus I don't remember this track from the game all that well...

All in all, I give it 6 out of 10. A solid first submission :)

I think this is an excellent techno remix. I do remember this song from the game also. Guardian legend was just one of the rare gems that I loved so much. Broderbund.. who knew?

Anyway, as for adding an acoustic element, I could definitely see where an acoustic piano could fit where a part of the remix repeated, replacing that synth.(or layered on it).

But overall I like this tune. And I love guardian legend. SO much props to munky!!

Very good, guys. That´s pure fun. I liked the old resources placed here. The arrangement is so cool. And the sequence/percussion is clearly nice with this good synths. Pretty song!

Only 5 reviews for such an old remix ?

Wow ,this munky dude should have had more of his great stuff out on ocremix, cause i wanna hear every piece of brilliance he's made. This is funky stuff alright What a strikingly heavy pace !
Thumbs Up !

Great song! Love it. I listen to it quite often when I actually go outside. :P

EDIT: wow, this hasn't been reviewed in a while...

Though I never heard the original submission of this one, I could tell from the judges comments back then that this one had promise. I'm glad William decided to revisit the track and make it that much stronger.

The sounds/textures are a bit dated, working in actual original drum patterns in place of the loops would have been good, and one can hear how the track could be filled out a bit better. But the arranagement's very creative for its day and the energy is excellent.

[OA]

I really love that deep bass. Otherwise the synths are decidedly old school, but there is a decent amount of processing to keep them interesting. As far as track evolution, there isn't a whole lot of building, but the song isn't quite on autopilot.

I am very glad that the vocal samples were removed from this, it would have been atrociously bad with them.

[DragonAvenger]

I agree about voice samples. I might have died a little on the inside if I heard this mix with a ton of voice samples.

Overall a decent techno mix, with a great bass, but the melodic synths aren't doing it for me. They don't really pack a punch, and I can't keep interested towards the end of the piece. Drum loops get repetative, along with the rest of the track at the end, more change ups in general would have helped. Key changes were a good start.

The track still has some good points, and it's worth a listen, I just would have liked a little more punch to it.
