Good ole Starfox was polygon, before polygon was popular, and showed us 16-bit afficionados what the world had in store. Interestingly enough, few 3d shooters to succeed it, even with far better technology than the SuperFX chip, have been as deep, as fun, and as well-made as this puppy . . . the soundtrack was a classic, and really added a lot ot the game, but that stupid "dialogue" that consisted of one sample played at different speeds REALLY sucked . . . this is an ORCHESTRAL mix, with an extended intro, that borrows from the main theme as well as the first stage theme . . . enjoy!

0:48 a familiar source now
1:18 after years of listening to this, I never made the connection that this was the 'Corneria' theme. Go figure.
1:49 nice resolution
2:49 got a bit of a Hans Zimmer sound going on here. Nice ending.

It has an air of James Newton Howard about it, especially at 1:48 which is very reminiscent of his work on Signs. I really dig it. DJP's signature of having things sound busy and linear at the same time was solidified with this mix, with myriad keyboard samples blasting away to the tune of those crashing drums. It would be extremely chaotic if only it didn't make complete musical sense. The samples are what they are, I never really complain about samples from old mixes. That's like cursing a 90 year old for having a bad hip.
I remember when this was a pinnacle of mixing. Back when I thought those samples sounded almost realistic. Those were the days. The arranging in this mix is still as strong as it was back then, and is why the mix is still enjoyable. Awesome stuff; definitive OCR.

I enjoyed the song very much. I've only been with the site for about a year now, but I'm sure when this song was released that the bar was raised. It's amazing how high quality this is and that it was only the 40th remix on the site.

This is a nice mix of the Starfox theme song. The drums and horns give it a military feel, and [to put it in a sissy, "I think people care about what goes on in my head" way] it's as if Fox is walking down to his Arwing.
Bah, I hate doing papers like that in English class... :x
