Silent Hill 2 'There Was a Hole Here'

This one leaves my remix rating meter (the one inside my head) in complete shambles. On one hand we have the absolutely encreadible piano playing, and on the other we have these drums and possibly even the strings which are far too quiet. I must say though, the drums do fit nicely, I just wish they were a tad louder. Not much louder mind you, just enough so I can actually hear them without straining. Beyond that, it is quite good. Great job Wingless, but I must say that it could have been excellent if only those drums had more presence or been completely absent (as to not distract and detract from the rest of the mix.)

My only complaint is that the mix was just a little too long. To me, any remix that goes beyond three and a half or four minutes is too long.....

Otherwise a solid, talented effort.

Beautiful. I love it. This has been one of my favorite themes from the
game for some time now and Wingless has done it justice in a way
I previously thought only Hazama could do. Very nice.

Hmmm... I haven't listened to this one in awhile -- been busy with some more up-tempo projects. But as I recall, the drums were simply there for energy and the strings, for atmosphere. I think at the time, my reasoning was if any one of those supplements got too intense, it would take focus away from the piano, which is the focus of the piece (for reasons for path quality, source material, my aptitude for the piano, etc). So, why the arguably too-soft drums and strings? It'd be distracting.

That's my excuse anyways.

I remember being in love with the mix right before submitting it. Now, I honestly can't say I enjoy it that much. Feh. I treat my songs like ho's, and as a great man once said, "bitch, we don't love dem hoes". I think it was Hobbes.

How can a mix be too long? Most often my main complaint is that they are too short. If a remixer can hit a tune just right, he could go on forever if he wanted to. Most of the best stuff on here is far too short. I understand that the remixers don't want things to get repetitive, but four minutes seems to be the perfect length for the best stuff. And with this remix, four minutes is almost enough time. Just one man's opinion, however. Wingless, nice work.

This remix is incredible. I think the understated drums heighten the sense of despair in this song. I would have liked more melody as in the original when the cello comes in with the main theme...this wouldn't necessarily have to be done with the cello in the remix, but the piano could have covered it. Other than that, great mix. It's on constant replay.

I can never truly thank...that guy...who introduced me to "True" and now someone does a remix of it ^_^ Sweet.

This is one of the best silent hill remixes I have ever heard.
I especially like the way that the tune is as far from the original as possible without ruining it (doing it in trance or something inapropriate like that) and you can still tell what it is.
The extended piano riff. This is the only (minor) problem I have with this track. I cant help but think how this would have sounded if the piano riff was more of 'tocata and fugue in D minor' which is what it was in the original 'true' and whether the 'tocata and fugue in d minor' would have made this track better. Nevertheless, the extended riff is just excellent. Well done sir.

I've noticed that the only time that a remix is too long is when its bad. Either that, or when the remix is good for about 2 minutes, but then the person decides to extend. Anyway, I'm not saying you did that, because I haven't even heard the song yet, its DLing right now. I'm sure it'll be good... Maybe I'll actually write a review for it when it finishes (damn 56K).

Silent hill was that type of game that told you that you were goign to be scared, wich made it very very disturbing. The music would always keep you on to it.

Listening to this song, i can tell you that i wish i werent playing Silent hill while listening to this, or i would shut off the game before i whent even more paranoid that i am now.

The piano in this song is more-than-amazingly played, and i am in awe to listen to this song, because every time, it strikes me that someone actually played this.

Since i allready saluted with my hat, i,ll salute you with my .. er..pants ^_^
