7th Guest 'Fat Dance'

Well, can I even begin to say anything bad about this track, what with it being the original composer's own remix? Hell no! And would I want to? See previous answer. Very well produced, very professional sounding (I should hope!), and all around very, very cool. I enjoyed it even though I'm not familiar at all with the 7th Guest soundtrack. So overall, I would highly recommend this.

BTW, when I get to be a major figure in the videogame industry </wishful thinking>, rest assured I'll be doing the same thing! :D

The Fat Man? Who?

Is he some newbie or something?
Dumb n00bs.

Not my style of music at all, but the coolness factor of George Sanger submitting a mix is thru the roof.

Not a fan of your music so much- but I greatly appreciate everything you do to raise awareness for game music.

Wow, with all that buildup from djp, I was almost expecting more. I've never played 7th Guest, but I downloaded it just from the review. Not exactly my type of music, but still 10x better then I could've done with that genre. I guess the beginning with the bass kinda threw me off... it just sounded kinda empty or midi-ish. But the rest is really interesting, albeit a tad repetitive.

I wasn't impressed by the music, but I do think it is awesome that the composer submitted this. If you like 7th Guest then I think you'll like this mix, but I have never been a fan of the more "subdued" nature of the computer game music of yore. Even though I have never heard of "Fat Man" I still think it is awesome that he deems OCR worthy of his tunage.

This is freakin' evil music...

Mohahahaha...*you're supposed to shake to death now*

It definetely has an early 90's PC game feel to it (which makes sense), and I think it's pretty cool.

Now if only we could get other greats to do mixes here like Eric Brosius (Of Looking Glass/Irrational Studios fame) and whoever did the music to Unreal 1.

I think this piece has some nice qualities (namely the ambience), but I found it a little difficult to listen to. I was most thrown by the empty (although, that was probably intentional) feel of the piece as well as the repetitive nature. I would have liked to hear something more to break it up a little more, at least in sections.

Not very hot.

I don't like The FatMan's originals, nor do I like this remix. Where's the variety?

Sorry, but this is more of a novelty. Some of us take this very seriously, and this doesn't hold a candle to what some of us are doing here.

However, no one (except virt) comes close to holding a candle to what The FatMan has done and is doing for game music.

God Speed, Mr. Sanger. You're an inspiration.

Get ready to hand over the reigns...

Hey its a good step for the site to attract the attention of Composers.
I'm glad DJP wrote what he did.

However

I don't know how the actual remix got a 'highly reccomended' mark

This sounds like some of the stuff i fiddle around with on Fruity loops.
Really this mix needs.... some work. Sounds like first stage "Wolfchild" (SNES) music. with a few cool background effects.

Thanks for your kind words, Y'all!

I agree, the tune is not carefully composed nor arranged, and your giving me slack because of "who I am" is very graceful. I apologize for posting a non-serious effort, and I hope this was not taken as an insult, and especially that it would not lower the quality of what is posted here.

The tune was created on a private whim. I had never done any repetitive beat music, and was secretly enjoying it...so I made this for myself. Usually I cram music full of ideas, but a Swiss reporter had told me, "Maybe you giff too many ideass. Maybe ze people need a chance to cherish ze music."

Per "Handing over the riens..." You sure you wanna ride this pony?

Again, thanks!
Best,
FAT
