WHOA! . . . multiple contributor AmIEvil really surprised me with this one, as it is completely unlike his other submissions, other than the continued level of high quality . . there's some excellent filtering riffs and some great modulation on the bass synthline that you just have to hear, all being driven by a minimalist drum track that fits nicely . . another short but sweet one.
Discussion: Latest 15 comments/reviews; view the There's an extremely jarring beatskip that is too signifcant and
too obvious to be unintentional. I don't get what the motivation
was, but I don't know whether I agree with it. It's like a massive
comma dead in the middle of a word. For some bizarre reason, it
makes the mix seem injured.
Also, the swiftness of the mix is just such a tease. It gives you the comehither eyes, draws you close and then spontaneously combusts into ash, leaving you standing cold, naked and alone muterring "Buh... Buh... But... It was just getting good."
The mix has some dated production as well, but that doesn't bother me nearly as much as the other areas in which it could easily have dilevered, but actively chose not to. Oh well, there is always the other AmIEvil mixes.

This mix is slow to start, but it is sooooo worth it. :-)
My biggest complaint is that it's too short. It seems too me like most of the song is intro before it gets to the meat and potatoes of the mix.
This is a great mix that leaves me wanting more.

Really try to induce some mixing power in the beginning. I got a
bit of a spiraling feeling in the start but doesn't seem to really
get where I want. The melody from Zelda was good but it all seemed
to stop a little too soon.

The mix starts out alright, with a cool synth sound, and builds up
a few times, though it drops a beat or two along the way during a
transition. :/
Then a really annoying atonal synth comes in, but drops right before the midi horns come in.
Then it ends abruptly. I gotta say i'm not terribly impressed. Sorry :-(

Hmm...
Like most of AmIEvil´s remixes it sounds great but stops in the middle. Always when the Music gets you in the right mood and you are waiting for the great unique middle part , followed by a repeat of the main theme and an great ending it just stops.
Don´t know if AmIEvil is just unable to make complete songs or if it is some "Wohoo i got my own style" kind of thing but it realy disturbes me. But i got my own way of dealing with this. I´ve cut the first minute Of the Song, added a fade out at the End and now i got my very unique Zelda Ringtone.
Because that´s what this release is for me, a ringtone. An absolutely great sounding ringtone, but a ringtone.

This song is extremely well done. It's got a great beat and is fun
to listen to. My only complaint is that it is too short! I think it
could easily be extended but that's up to AmIEvil of course. Bravo!
Another great Zelda remix to add to my playlist!

Wow. Very energetic. Its not too complex or fancy with the
composition, but the presentation is just killer. I just have to
listen to it several times every time I open it up. THAT imo is a
better song than the standard 4-5 minute ones that just seem to
drag on a bit, that you rarely listen to more than once at a time.
9/10

Nice! Pounding and driving until the swell in the middle around :57
(which I like to call "The sweet creamy center") then back to
pounding and driving. Some playful nonsense at :41..
Keeps it interesting all the way thru. Nice and upbeat!

Another cool mix from AmIEvil. Yeah, it probably could have been a
little longer, but it's definitely worth listening to.

I give this a 7/10.
If this mix would have been longer and the Darkworld theme played more thanone time it would be an extremly good piece. Now, it's just too short to be anything other than decient.

Go ahead, mess with my perceptions! I don't CARE! Actually, another
nicely-done bit of work by the insane(ly talented) AmIEvil. Never a
dull moment in this piece, it keeps you moving. Loop it a few times
to get the full effect from it. That's my only gripe: it is much
too short, in my opinion.
Now, if someone would do a remix of the credits theme...hint hint.

This song was very strait forward in its electronic sound, nearly
too electronic for my tastes though. But I have yet to hear an
AmIEvil remix that I havent liked. It has a very nice bit of
originality in the beginning, and a little more in the end, and
when it finally reaches the main Zelda song that every know's, it
all just falls into place, and you start becomming addicted to the
song, just as you knew you would when it was a Zelda remix.

Methunks that djp overrated this one a little bit. It's s'more of
that wonderful techno fun for about the first 1:10, then it FINALLY
goes into the theme we know and love. BUT THEN AFTER ONE LOOP IT
STOPS. That's simply inexusable. There are much better darkworld
remixes out there, so I'd only recommend this to absolute hardcore
zelda fans. 3/8

I'm not a fan of eletronica techno remixes.. But I must admit that like al Aimevil's works... This one is a great tune..

AmIEvil has given us a really nice one. You'll probably like it if
you haven't heard the Zelda Darkworld theme, but if you have,
you'll love it. It's chalk-full of good samples and nice
arrangement. I love the trumpets for the main melody. It should
have had a little more refinement though - it's not been polished
as much as some remixes these days.
