Axelay 'Kick My Axe'

People, this is one fine remix. There's not much to criticise, and so much to praise - the excellent guitar work, the way the synths are incorporated seamlessly, the well thought out arrangement, the fact that things stay interesting the entire way through.... everything here sounds like it was done by professionals. Remixes like this one don't pop up here to often, so download and enjoy them when they do.

Not too bad, seems to me that DJP thinks that anything with guitars in it sounds good. Anyway, it's got some really nice stuff in there, reminds me of some eighties song I can't quite remember the name of. The guitar part's well done, some stuff sounds really good, some parts at the end catch my ear in particular. It's very well done. Recommended.

It's remixes like these that makes me feel like a worm. My attempts are nowhere near this good. I guess I should be inspired. Instead I get depressed. Ah well.

The strings gave the heebie-jeebies when I first heard them, they screamed "BAD ANIME BACKGROUND MUSIC" at me and I almost lost it. But thankfully the strings stay low for most of the track and the professionalism of all the other aspects of this piece more than make up for it. Besides, even I gotta admit it makes a nice contrast to the lead guitar.

Guitar/drum/synth work just proves once again that if I spent all the money I've spent on games on music and mixing equipment instead, I'd get laid a hell of a lot more than I do now.

The organ is fucking genius, especially at 2:20. Go buy yourself a round for that one, and another one for the bass showing off in the first :25.

The more I listen to this, the more I like it.

God I love you guys. Really. I wish I had any sort of skill at this. Oh well, there's always the mid-life crisis.

9/10.

Oh, so you don't like my violin playing, huh. Wanna step outside, string hata?

Anyway, this track sticks closely to the original stage 1 and boss music. Most of the riffs you guys are complimenting are in the original tracks, so I recommend downloading the SPCs and listening to the entire Axelay soundtrack if you haven't already.

Thanks for the comments, everyone.

Also, the only synth tracks were the background "stabby" synth, the organ, and the drums. The rest was live.

Geeez what was supposedly wrong with the strings? lol..I thought they were Superb. I really loved how this mix remained very faithful to the original. The 3:05-3:10 mark made me smile so much cause that was always the theme I hummed to myself throughout the years :-D

I orginally thought they were way out of place, then I realized it was there for contrast to the guitar, and as such work very well.

This is a damn fine mix. Not perfect, but pretty frickin' close. The synth/guitar mesh reminds me of Vince DiCola's work. Vince DiCola, for those of you who don't know (probably most of you), did the score for Rocky IV and The Transformers: The Movie. Anyway, stellar stuff, Midee. I would, however, have liked the guitars to had a little more "power" (sorry, I'm not well-versed in music terminology--if there's a better way to say that, I don't know ) here and there...but for most of the track they're exceptionally well done. Not Ailsean, but pretty damn good nonetheless. Kudos!

so the strings were live?

um, i dont know what people are saying but, THE STRINGS ARE THE BEST PART OF THIS REMIX!

Im in love.
