Gradius

This interesting take on the Gradius 1st stage tunage features a cool sitar sound and a nice synth bass . . a short but sweet tribute to a game that had some great music . . .

Ah, Memblers of midirip action...this sounds like the one part of the Gradius mix 'Perfect Selection', except with different instruments tossed in.

I'm disappointed that this wasn't longer.
The sitar-like sounds makes me feel like this was performed near the Taj-Mahal. The combination of a shoot 'em up theme with Indian musical vibes make for a real interesting mental image.
I'm not ~that~ familiar with the source tune, but apparently, this mix is a little to close to it. Ultimately, I think its ok except for its length.

Hahaha, this escaped two lockdowns? OA is dead-on, it's practically a MIDI rip down to it ending exactly after the second repetition. Barely a WIP.

I could see this going lots of different places, but as it is...not so much. More than a few notes that don't fit, strange sounding (not in a good way), and possibly the most ubrupt ending I've heard so far on this site.

I'm not sure I could even call this a WIP. :/
It is way too basic, and is pretty much a midi rip slowed down slightly.
Not a fan. Sorry.

Lol, this could have actually become a good remix, I mean...there's just..."a little" missing from it. But I like to say that anything can become some form of a remix after it's refined...a lot.

Redifer... you sound like me...
This track is pretty pathetic. Then again, so is most of the earlier stuff like this. It's just a sitar-thing and some bass. That's it. There isn't even drums. It sounds like a straight NSF 2 MIDI rip to me.

Wow late reply for me :)
I actually have this file dated 08/29/2000 in an XM coded with Fast Tracker. Same song, but that explains the reason the encoding sounds bad, all the samples were 16-bit samples and rather small.
Can download the XM from http://www.ffmaps.com/images/pub/GRADIUSX.XM if you want.

Hmm, despite of the fact that it's really short, I really enjoyed this mix. Somehow the slightly weird sounds used in it always cheer me up a bit, and I think everything blends really nicely.
I know this mix is rather old, but it felt wrong to see that there had only been more or less negative response to it.

ehh.. at first i thought redifer was being a little harsh.. =X i think there was some distortion(??) which would explain a couple weird sounding lines. and.. yeah that ending wasnt too good =X

Gradius 'x'
A horribly short and horribly low encoded (112kbps) tribute to a cool Gradius tune. Nothing special, unless you love sitar more than anything. Sounds out of tune at times. Very abrupt ending.
