HOLY SHIT . . . this is some gooood ReMix, lemme tell ya. I love to see gameboy tunes ReMixed, because the hardware was so limiting (and still is) and I love to see Zelda tunes ReMixed, because all of them have a certain quality to them . . . but most of all, I like to see ANYTHING ReMixed as kickass as this has been. This should become one of your favorites, as the sounds are there, the sequencing is there, and when the drum loop comes in, better turn down that subwoofer or you might just blow a hole through your wall :) . . . this is an amazing submission from Scott Peeples - go check out his web page and see what's up, he's a talented guy and worth the attention.

Yeah, the drums are most deffinitely clipping, and they probably
could have used a nice hat and tom fill coming in, but they work
and fill out the mix nicely.
And a note to everyone else- do not play this mix near your grandma- Mine damn near had a heart attack when the drums first came in.8-O

The mix starts out really weak, but I figured i'd listen all the
way through, just to be fair, and i'm glad I did. Though the
percussion is excessively loud and sounds to be clipping, the beat
is hot, and the track works pretty well.
What could use a little work is some humanization on the piano, harpsichord, and the contrapuntal synth. Not enough to kill the mix by any means, but it does make it sound a little dated.

Truthfully, when I first listened to this I didn't really much care
for it, but now it's growing on me.
The first half comes on too strong and could potentially frighten innocent bystanders, and that's what initially turned me off to this mix.
Like I said, the more I listen to this the more I like it and here some really interesting things in this mix like the piano and certain snippets of the mix that sound familiar and give me a feeling in the back of my mind that I should recognize them.

I originally downloaded this in May '03 and immediately panned it
out of my keeper playlist (I hadn't gotten past the intro), but
realized my mistake a couple months later when it popped up on
random when I wasn't paying attention. This song has been near the
top of my all time favorites since then.
Well, it's been a hell of a long time since I last listened to it, so I decided to give it another play tonight to see if it's still got the magic, and holy shit, did it deliver in spades. This is one of THE staple OCR's that should be in EVERY OCRite's playlist. It's just that damn good.

Oh... My... God...
This is the reason I come to OCRemix.org
Not only is this from my favorite game, but as the song continues to grow on me, it slowly rises to the top of my list. I have never really enjoyed the Dungeon music all that much, but I'm loving it now. Good Show! 11/10 (Ain't I crafty? *snicker*)

I like a lot of the ideas Scott's got going here, especially for an
early mix on the site. What really detracts from the song for me,
though, is the distortion in the mix when the drums come in,
especially with the kick. It sounds like it's either digital
clipping or it's been slammed hard against a limiter. Anyway, it's
not enough to keep this song off my playlist though, still good
stuff.

The opening's just the original, but then in the re-mix, the melody
starts on the first beat, instead of the 2nd 8th note. Really
caught me off guard.
The Tail Cave is one of my favorite tracks in the game. A lot of the rest of the sound track is just variation on this one theme. And the Tail Cave itself is just a take of the Wind Fish Ballad in minor! The original composer(s) for the game really went balls to the wall on it!

Man, I really want to complain. But, I just can't. It's not really
d&b, though... more like breaks/bigbeat. Lemme listen again
real quick...
I would have used different instrumentation; that's about it. It's a pretty rockin' remix, really. Maybe EQ some things some more. Nice work, Scott.

I think that Scott outdid himself with this one. I've listened to a
few of his remixes and they were good. But this one... this one
gave me goosebumps. Congratulations man!
At first when I started it up, the song was... totally Gameboy. I didn't see any real difference from the original and I was really disappointed, but, I should know by now not to ever judge something by the first however many seconds, or however many paragraphs, or however many verses... As soon as the piano came in, I started feeling a little bit better about the song. But... at 00:01:04, I think that my jaw must have broken through the Earth's crust, mantle, and core, shot through the other side and knocked out some poor guy in China.
You used an impressive drop there man... I never would have expected something like that, slow, and mediocre, like just about any dungeon music from any Zelda game, to turn Drum and Bass... Congratulations on a FLAWLESS transition. I hope to hear something more from you in the future along these lines (possibly a remix of the original Zelda's dungeon music?). I bow to you tonight, Scott. Keep up the excellent work, man.

00:00:01 - 00:00:41 :? (wow... this is... yeah... ahem...)
00:00:42 - 00:01:03 :o (that's nice...!)
00:01:04 - 00:03:40 8O (HOLY CHRIST!!! ROCK ON DUDE!)

The original song reminds of the sector 4 [AQA] from Metroid
Fusion. But back to the point. This song surprised me at 1:06 cause
I thought it would remain mysterious and stuff. Anyways, nice job.

One of my favorite parts about this remix is the fact that parts of
it remind me of the Light world dungeon theme from Link to the
Past. And to agree with everyone else, yes the bass is incredible.

Very great remix. Really great ideas, but the distorted sound of
the mix sounds more like a digital track peaking out than a song
with purposely distorted drums. Otherwise, I think it is awesome,
and I seem to be the only one who thinks the track sounds like
digital distortion rather than overdrive distortion, but who am I
to judge what form of purposely "distorting" a piece of music
sounds better, right?
