This isn't my favorite mix out there of zelda stuff, but it's definately a good first mix to get on the site. Everything mentioned in the Judging panel rings true. The repetativeness of the piece doesn't entirely reflect badly, but variation would have been an improvement overall.

Definately a lot of promise to be had. Look forward to hearing more!

this relies too much on the bass and drums (which are nice)
and it is easy to hear parts where they could have been switched up (2:00-2:30)...the melody doesn't exactly fit
usually i disagree with adding on extra sections to force some sort of variety into a song but like i said this could have easily been developed further

About time the best Zelda game ever™ got a mix posted.
I wouldn't exactly call this repetitive, just a little generic. I was expecting the main melody to do more. Production's certainly good though.

A 4 star from me...
I liked the feel of this...and the fact that it's from Majora's Mask, and that has to count for something.
Would've liked more variety, but it's worth a good listen and I look forward to hearing more from this mixer.

Yes! About time Majora's mask was covered on this site. The only 3D Zelda game not to be covered besides TP, which is relatively new. Solid mix of one the better songs in the game and a good first entry.

Punchy and crunchy with plenty of jingles and tingles.

I really like it. There could have been a lot more done with it. It's great though. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Not bad...from the initial production values I was expecting a little more though. The bass is pretty active, but IMO not especially effectively...it seems haphazard rather than driving, and doesn't really gel with the track as a whole--perhaps because it's trying to be too jazzy; see Ziwtra's recent work, particularly "A Dream..." for active basslines that retain their drive--or sculpt the tension very much. It draws a lot of attention to itself, which is actually (unfortunately) effective in this track, since it diminishes focus on the repetitive phrases of melody which have little climactic variation. Drums are okay, crisp and serviceable, but the prominent hihat pattern gives a looped feeling to them shortly into the track. Ending is uninspired.

Overall, this reminds me a lot of the wry, sinister electrojazz/dance music from the Coliseum ("Awakened Soul") in Castlevania: SotN, esp. the welcome change-up at 2:01 and the marimba-like synth thing at 2:33, both of which were highlights for me. I don't think the bass writing is exceptionally impressive, but it's nice to hear something out of the ordinary in a dance track. This source tune is excellent and I think more could have been done with it, but this is enjoyable for what it is. And I do love the slightly ethnic-tinged dance vibe here, which I'm also exploring lately myself.

For a first track this is good stuff. Hoping for more. ;)

I don't think the original song is called Rockvale Temple theme. Wasn't it called Stone Tower Temple theme?

Oh, and FINALLY, there's a Majora's Mask remix. I congratulate GSlicer for being the first one to get one on this site.
