Rayza's monster Shinobi ReMix has been floatin' around the net for quite some time, but I begged him to allow me to put it up here because I think it deserves some more attention - it's quite good. Please note that this is a remix of the arcade theme, whereas my own mix is based on the Sega Master System theme (totally different!). Rayza's mix captures the ninja flavor with some peppy drum programming and good use of pauses.

Yeah, its a great mix, but that brings it down a notch or two.
The mix keeps things interesting; its consistent but not overly so. Its definitely worth checking out.

The first melodic synth is pretty grating. Certainly suits the
style, and I think even if I were further from my speakers it
wouldn't be so bad. Where I am now it just overpowers the rest of
the mix. Bringing up the bass/rest of the mix might help
that.
Nice trance going on, doesn't get overly repetative. Catchy melody, and good sounds throughout, aside from the melody. Nice work.

Pretty nice early trance style here, I think the bass could be
kicked up a bit; give it that Technotronic pumped up jam
feel.
I think some of the counterpoint was a little on the loud side and didn't mesh as well as it could have, but overall this is a pretty good mix. :-)

Is that Scorpion's harpoon noise all throughout the song, or am I
just hearing things?

This song should be really bad, but it isn't. I guess that's the
difference between genre and musicality! No really, even the
musicality should be bad, due to how not that many instruments are
prominent, but somehow it's still a full sound, and I like the
whole song. Oldschool.

I can't believe this only got 3 reviews. Shinobi 'Rayza Shuriken'
is easily one of my top ten favourite remixes.

Shinobi 'Shuriken Mix'
I was very happy to see this tune make it to the site so long ago. It was of the arcade music which I greatly preferred. Rayza gives this tune a very trancey late 80's/early 90's feel. I like it. But then of course I like most of the stuff Rayza does. The very first time I heard it I don't think I was tremendously impressed, but I don't know why that would be, it's just how I remember it. But make no mistake, I love this tune!
