All hail Scott Peeples! The man is in the ZONE again with this kickin' ReMix of the Gerudo Valley theme from Miyamoto's legendary epic, Zelda64. A nice synth-guitar hybrid sound playing the main melody, which consists of ascending and descending chords mostly, nevertheless is quite epic, quite moving, and quite well done. Scott gives it a great beat, starting off with a pulsing acoustic-bass type thingy and moving on from there. The piece really develops nicely, has beautiful mixing & processing, and just sounds so clean you could eat off it . . . chalk another great one up to Peeples :)

it's over NINE YEARS OLD.
Look at the UPLOAD DATE.
Hell Scott was what... 14 when he made this song? Freshman in High School?
Appreciate this song for the era in which it was made and by the hands that made it during the time.

I want to love this mix. I really, reeeeeallly do. But the
bass is just too off for me.
Can we please get Scott to fix it?

For me, this is like the first time I baked cookies.
I followed the recipe very closely, being sure to include all the necessary ingredients. The only problem was when it came to adding the baking powder, which was required at a quantity of 2 teaspoons. Misreading the recipe, I added 2 CUPS. The ensuing cookies were entirely inedible.
There are a lot of good things going on here in this mix to which I enjoyed listening. However, a simple error of a half-step in the bass line has caused this track to be "unlistenable" in another post-ers words.
Sorry Scott!

Actually, after taking the time to listen to it closely, I have to
agree that the bass is a bit flat through the whole song. The song
would be perfect without the bass.

Ok, I know this has been commented on a lot, but it that bass needs
addressing. I mean, the bass isn't even out of tune, it plays
clashing notes that are in tune, and they clash horribly! 8-O
Ok, so the 1st chord of the sequence is a F sharp minor. The bass plays a G over that which clashes.
The second chord is fine, in key perfectly.
The third chord is E major. The bass plays a C sharp over that. :?
The forth chord of the sequence is C sharp major and the bass plays the root note C sharp, which makes the third chord sound even weirder as the bass note of the third and forth chords are the same :?
This repeats over the melody and ruins the mix for me.
Sorry, but do not like this remix currently, however, if peeples resubs with bass fixes the mix would be awesome.

fyi for those of you who have no clue what's being said about the
off-key situation, the first note of the repeating bassline is
about a half step higher than it should be, resulting in the
melodic and harmonic guitar to sound off pitch and very painful to
the trained ear... .
i've been a musician for damn near 10 years and i cant listen to this piece in a sane manner due to that...
if you dont have a real ear for music you may not pick up on it, it's very slight... but it stands out to me. t
his is a great piece, very nicely produced with a great feel. i like the guitar riff and the way the bass pulses makes for a really cool undertone.
i just wanna tune the bass a halfstep lower so it matches the overlaying guitar. because it IS offkey. end of story.
please fix that tiny thing peeples. it'd make the piece bareable for me. because i really wanna add this to my collection. i just... i just cant... lol

whoever thinks that bassline is off is retarded.
end of discussion, the bassline makes this mix magic.
like how the fuck is a peice of music that comes from gerudo valley supposed to play by the rules of western music?
makes some fucking sense for once your lives. >_>

The beat that's dropped on top of the traditional Gerudo theme is
nice and sweet, even if the melody gets rather repetitive. You
haven't really done anything original with this piece, Mr.
Peeples—no creative license, not beyond instrument choice,
anyhow—and the synth that used later on for the melody is a bit
low-quality. Not bad, but just not great, either.
My rating: 3/5

I liked this one. The bass didn't detract very much. I'm always
listening to music while on the computer, while putting the song on
repeat. I've listened to it 25 times in 3 days. I forgot to change
the song. :grin:

I really like this song. I was listening to it well before i became
a member. I was really excited when i heard it because it brought
back so many great memories of the game. Also this remix is my
favorite mix of the gerudo valley theme that i have yet to find on
the internet. Great job!

This song sounds like a song that would come from the country
Greece. lol. I love all Gerudo Valley Remixes, but by far, I like
this one the best. I love the guitar in this Remix and percussion
also. Must downlaod.

i like this song a lot. i think that the string chords in the
background really enhance the overall sound. The bass sounds great
when it enters, but when the guitar chords and strumming enter
after it, the notes sound really atonal. This was one of the first
remixes i listened to when i joined, and i dont really know why,
but those bass notes bother me a lot. Once they are out of the
picture for a while (0:48) I really take an intense liking to the
mix. It's very clean and pronounced.

The Gerudo song from OoT has been my favorite Zelda song for a
while, and this mix definitely does it justice in my ears. It gives
me that same feeling that the original did, images and urges of
thievery (that didn't sound good ~ nevermind I said that). It does
sound much like the original, but that's the beauty of it. It's
also great fighting music, like some great ninja or shinobi battle
or something. Great job Mr. Peeples. 10/10
Also, being the music enthusiast that I am, as I listen to a song, I don't focus on one thing within the song, I listen to everything.... the bass is fine, though I've not heard it with a subwoofer or anything like that, I can tell that that would be everyone's problem. Amplifying the bass doesn't help every song, though it does help most.

i love this tune! it kicks the biggest BEEP out of most the other
songs (i dun even know if that makes sense). but, people do have a
bit of a point to the base. couldve just been a mistake. probably
fogot to tune it before recording. but this is still one of the
best songs ever made. :D

Who ever keeps complainiong about the bass it is fine. Please don't
mess with it... unless it was bad and you fixed it, in which case
good job.
Bottom line is I love it the way it is and I don't want it to change!
