Zelda: Link's Awakening 'Lost Woods Inglewood'

At first, this track seems bare, but I think that the unsteady drums, ambience (which I did not expect when this mix started), and the pitch bends of the lead instrument certainly makes this piece a joy to listen to. I would be very interested to know whats being siad in that clip of Malcom X. Some of the words are escaping me. Excellent beat, keep it up BenCousins.

I like this. It's excellent at what it's trying to do. Good beat, interesting synth lead that bends well in the right places, great ambience, just quite good overall. Nice work. What's with the 40 seconds of silence at the end? Please tell me I'm not on crack....

Interesting, although the drums are a bite off an Women's R&B song which shall remane nameless. A little repetative though.

Why exactly does the song remind me of Destiny's Child Independent Women (Part I)? The main loop is supposed to be five notes, each one higher than the previous, but instead there's about two/three levels of pitch total between the five notes. I do like IW, Part I at least, but c'mon . . . not that I'm dissing the song or anything.

Ah, BenCousins, the theivez of my hip-hop ideaz in progress as I turn the wax, and mutate tracks. I planned to do a rap of the same song using Dr. Fruitcake's "Rock" Remix (Fruitcake is a member of VGmix). He will be creditted if I make the submission cut before 2003.

About the song:

First, the mot so good points: I noticed that the main bass-line intro wasn't even used once in the track so it kind of gave me a wierd feeling. The only thing I have a real problem with is the same bassline and main rythum line sound very very VERY similiar to a song by Destiny's Child. Please insert more originality.

Other than that, I love the hi-hat pattern mappings that BC uses which only gets way better. I also have a huge thing for ambient stuff. He uses street environment loops which blend well into the mix.

Still, (we all know this) LostWoods South Central was a classic. But this song gets a 7.5/10 for sounding quite fly and using that Martin Luther king sample thingy.

Yeah, this is a kind of cheeky joke. I wanted to take a corny track and try and infuse some 'hipness' into it. Please don't take it the wrong way, I'm not trying to take credit for a sample.

Malcom X is saying:

"I myself would go for non-violence if it was consistent, if it was intelligent. If everyone was going to be non-violent, and if we were going to be non-violent all the time, I'd say 'ok get get with it, we'll all be non-violent'. If they make the Klu Klux Klan non-violent, I'll be non-violent, if they make The White Citizens Council non-violent, I'll be non-violent."

Then I repeat "If they make the Klu-Klux-Klan non-violent, I'll be non-violent".

Thanks for your comments and look out for another couple of tracks that are upcoming.

mm... i like the other Z:LA remixes from BC, but this one just didn't do it for me. It seemed too... boring. Kinda the same thing over and over. Too simple to repeat that much. And the quote, in my opinion, didn't fit at all.
I have to say that i didn't like this one, but i still look forward to BC's next submission :D

[Barakao1]

Well, the real problem is that the original "five notes, each higher than the last" was -- to me, anyway -- better-sounding than the DC-esque note. (Not that I'm dissin the LoZ4 remix, though.)

[SsaiskK]

heh, drums are from "that song" but i think it fits nicely. i agree, beginning is a little slow, but well done.

[Kajed Berd]

Charlie's Angels theme, I totally agree with Crono, but nonetheless I liked it :D

Nice smooth drum loop, yeah it's repetitive, but in a good way I think...ME like :)
