Default OCR00751 - Final Fantasy VIII 'Desperados'

Final Fantasy 8 'Desperados'

Cool. I don't like the intro that much, but one the remix gets going its better. Something's still wrong with it, though...

After listening through it, I think it's the mixing. You can hardly hear anything other than the drums, the bass, and that first synth loop that comes in. Which isn't bad, it just means that it's repetative.

I'm liking the break in the middle, though.

Overall, I kinda like this, but kinda feel like it could use some more work. If I could dance without embarasing myself, I would definitely be dancing to this mix. It's not the kind of thing I'd just listen to sitting down though.

Default Kick... ass...

The particular song from Final Fantasy VIII that this remix is based on just so happens to be one of the coolest tracks in the game: Laguna's Battle Theme, A.K.A. "The Man With The Machine Gun". Among the original's charms were its solid, driving bassline, poppy rhythm progressions and compelling melody.

Enter "Desperados" - a no-apologies high-velocity techno romp that combines a subdued, measure-lenghtened arrangement of the original song with some ridiculously speedy & well-defined percussion tracks.

The result is fast-paced and fairly hardcore techno fun, a real treat for fans of the original, though depending on your system setup you may find yourself straining to hear the melodic components more often that not.

A solid mix, definitely worth the download.

Very nice techno remix. I like it! The start is a little bit too long, but the rest of the remix take it back. Cool!

7/10 (1=worst; 10=best)

I loved the intro, it leads you up to an "oh shit" moment when the original song begins. I could listen to it forever, its definantly on my gamermix playlist.

Oof. This one is a very WORTHY remix of "A Man with a Machine Gun" My hats off to Standby for the remix. I love the length of it, nothing repetitive in it either. And some very original moments are in there too
