OverClocked ReMix...

Wizards & Warriors 2: Ironsword 'Sword Foundry'

Remember the Beatles Anthology? A whole bunch of tracks that "never made it" for quality or other reasons? Imagine if the minibosses released an anthology. This might be on it. While the style isn't my preference, I can admit when it's done well, and this feels pretty messy to me. If you like the raw, unrehearsed, slapped together, garage feel, then you might like this. I felt it was a bit too unrehearsed for me. If I hear a live ensemble, I like to hear a TIGHT one. (If you've ever heard Average White Band or Cubanismo (two very different styles of music) live, then you'll know what I mean). As this song is, I don't really dig it. Seems more like a WIP to me, but check it out if you liked the original, you might enjoy. Personally, I'd like to see it redone after a few more rehearsals.

Most of the time I like songs with a cleaner sounding instrument as the main track, but I've got to say, this is spectacular. It's definately going in my playlist :D

I like the style of the remix, but ultimately, i have to agree with discodan. It's just so raw, and gritty, far too much for me to ever put it on my everyday playlist. Not terrible, just not what i dig

It's been a while since we've had a rock remix (hasn't it?) I liked this mix. It's good in that it sounds like the original track, yet still has originality to it. Although I don't have a real good ear for remixes (ie can't really tell if it was just slapped together or not like DiscoDan can (hey I rhymed

)) it still sounds good to me.

I see some people here don`t like this one but I think it`s cool with this raw sound. I`m also a fan to heavy metal and this sounds like a good song made of a local garageband in a crappy studio with limited time in it, which means the quality isn`t the best. Anyway, I enjoy it! :D

Not quite what I was expecting, though I don't suppose it helps that I didn't know what to expect in the first place. Personally, I found a couple spots in this mix that didn't seem too clean, although for some reason I think it adds to it somehow. All in all, I think this is a pretty darn good mix. Keep it coming Ryan!

Hope be with ye,
Cyan

I liked this mix. I felt it sounded a bit mono though. That aside, I thought the guitar playing was great, great originality, and it suits this tune so well. I liked that part with the voice at 0:33 hehe i thought that was interesting :)
