Donkey Kong Country 3 'My Red Hot Pursuit'

This is one hell of an interesting piece and my goodness, what a saw. Thats one sound if used to mimic an electric guitar but still recognized as not being an electric guitar, that I really like. As for the rest of this piece, normally I don't like pieces with signing, either because it just doesn't fit, or it just sucks, or both. But in this case I must make an exception, this guy's got a good voice, a voice I would expect to hear as the lead singer for some Alternative band. The drums just rock, end of story. That sitar (I hope thats what it is) gives this piece an Asian sort of edge that has allways appealed to me. Overall this is well put together, I love it. Excellent work Wintermute.

HAHAHAHHAHHHA
Okay, I must make a note, that was Ginnsu. I was at his house and logged into my account to check some things and it would appear I forgot to log out.
My mistake! Sorry Ginnsu!

Rob's mistake and I'm blind as a bat. Carry on.

A pretty cool remix, while the voice samples sound strange to say the least, overall, the funkyness of this song just holds it together. IMO, a world better than wintermute's first submission. Good job :)

Finally able to review!

grrr

I thought it was great. There should be more attempts at lyrical pieces. Don't be shy people! :P

Normally vocals in remixes are the devil's creation, but Wintermute has the right voice for this. The original was good, but wasn't exactly good for normal listening, like driving to work or relaxing at home. This remix changes that. It was a major improvement to a decent song. I really hope Wintermute has plans to do vocals in some more of his remixes. He's one of the lucky few who can pull it off.

Thanks for the kind reviews all. And djp hit it right, I am very NIN inspired.

gotta compliment you wintermute, this is a pretty original song. and no, I'm not saying that as a way to get around saying "it sucks" cause this song is pretty sweet. As everyone else has stated, I normally hate lyrics or voice samples in the remixes, but you got it right. The lyrics make absolutely no sense, but they sound good, and you got the NIN thing going on which is a definite bonus with me. Glad to see some new styles being tried out here, be interested to see you make more like this. Very good one.

The Title made me think it was going to be more of a Squarepusher inspired song. "My Red Hot Car" is a great song. This is pretty good too, though.

[Edit]
I wrote the original review in hurry. I have to agree with endblink, however, this has very little NIN in it to my ears. And believe me, when you've listened to as much of Trent's music as I have, you KNOW Nine Inch Nails from the first few measures.
I've never heard the original of this, but after listening a few times, I must say that this is a very interesting song. I'd recommend it, but not if you're expecting NIN, because you won't find any.
