Default OCR00837 - Gun.Smoke 'Smoking Guns of Liberation'

Gunsmoke 'Smoking Guns of Liberation'

I'm afriad this is not my favorite piece of work by K. Praslowicz. The guitars and the the other instruments just don't fit for me. The guitars are also a little too grungy for my tastes, and I'm struggling hard to find something good to say about this piece, but I'm finding it just doesn't work for me at all. I guess I can say that I like the piano, and if it was just the piano with a completely different style of music, I could go with that. Sorry K. Praslowicz, this one doesn't get any props from me.

Well, I do like the title.

But I have to agree, I don't think the piano really fits with the guitars.

I am liking this mix, as I'm a fan of unique combos of otherwise standalone instruments. It's fun and enjoyable, good work.

Not K. Prazlowicz's best, but still a cool listen. The "mismatch" of instruments didn't really bother me too much. The original melody was a good choice for this type of remix...and the two instruments seem to at least deliver something entertaining and happy yet grungy and the same time.

Overall, good stuff from K. Prazlowicz...but not something everyone will like.

Okay, really, there's no reason piano and grunge guitar can't go together. I think it works in this mix, although does sound a bit awkward. The guitar work is farking awesome and INCREDIBLY thick stuff. Very stereo work, nice arrangement, good idea with the fade in's and out's of the originals, and the siren-like guitar work that comes in at 3:02 is like nothing I've ever heard. Cool stuff. I'm looking forward to more Praslowicz remixes.

Hmmm... this mix is weird. The guitar is a little too dirty.. and it ruins the nice little piano playin... This song has a little too much treble..hurts my ears... Maybe a little more base? PLZ?! Like others said.. not your best work. But not really that bad.

Later.

This mix has but one downfall: the introduction of the guitar. It just feels out of sync. Im not sure if thats a noise gate issue or something else, but i focus on it every time i listen to this song.

Once the guitar is going, it carries itself excellently. To the point where i completely forget about what i just said.

By about 1:50, the tune is really quite pretty, isnt it? Yes, very much so!

Please never stop using real instruments! It adds so very much! :)

Nooooooo! Please don't listen to the criticisms K. Praslowicz! I understand your vision. The bi-polar nature of the heavy distortion guitar the light whimsical piano is what make this song so great. It's like nothing I've ever heard before and it's extremely refreshing hear outside of the heavy house beats of most of the other songs here. Sure I love techno remixes as much as the next guy but there has to be some diversity as well to keep things fresh around here; and K. Praslowicz has just brought in a new shipment. I'm not saying that everyone can't have problems with it or even hate it for that matter, I just don't want K. Praslowicz to be discouraged from straying from the traditional path for his future songs. As for me I'll be waiting patiently next to the mailbox for his next delivery.

I think the mix of guitar and piano is a little weird, but it still sounds good. Though at times I think the guitar is a little extreme. Good mix though.

more Gunsmoke remixes are needed , if only someone could have ALL BOSSES covered as well ..in screaming distorted guitars and hysterical drums ..but i suppose that this one is a step in the right direction ..
