Gun.Smoke

I love Gux . . . do you love gux? you should . . . he's chosen to grace us with another trumpet-laden ReMix, this time from the previously unremixed western NES classic gunsmoke. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll hop on your trusty steed and head for the hills when you hear the bitchin' jaw harp, epic trumpet, and galloping bass guitar. For the record, the first time Gux used this trumpet patch I thought it was actually real. This time around it's a little more obvious that it's not, but it's still a grade A+ sound. This is essentially a totally new style - spaghetti-western soundtrack - for this site, and I can't imagine a game better suited to it. Innovation! Quality! Jaw Harps! Where else can you find all those? Big thanks to Gux for another classic.

This song makes me extremely happy. The jaw harp puts a foolishly large smile on my face. I do wish that the trumpet was a little more believable though but that's my only quarrel.

The jawharp is a bit too prominent, but otherwise this is a great mix, you definitely know what you are getting into from the title, and despite the lack of any real expansion, it conveys the mood really well. Excellent sound choices to really get the style down.
I'm very impressed with the brass; you have to listen pretty close to hear that it's synthetic, and even then it's mostly the repetition of the vibrato.
After a few listens though, that jawharp simply has to go, or maybe take a break for a section or two. :-(

Hahaha! Dunno how I passed up commenting on this one. Awesome upgrade-style remix. Goofy sounds, along some solid brass (good brass?!?), it's Gux with some serious flavor here, "Psghetti Cowboy." [sic]
If only the game weren't so fast-paced or had some 1-one-1 shootout areas, this would set the scene perfectly while being a little tongue-in-cheek.

I would have been way happier with this remix if there was less of that sound effect that sounds like someone playing with a spring. Everything else was very nice, though. I'm definitely a fan of the genre, and I think this does it justice.
And if you're wondering how I came across such an old song - you can thank ormgas for that.

This remix is quite a step up from Gux's. However, while it lacks the sheer spaghetti-westernness of his, this one is artistically quite better. The combo of electric guitar and piano is awesome.

Not quite Morricone. Were there a bit less on that same twang, and more trumpets and guitars, it would stand firmly and hold its head high. Still, it IS a fun piece.

I'd never played Gunsmoke till yesterday, and I immediately envisioned a remix of the great music. Then I remembered there was a remix or two at OCR, but I never checked them out, so I got this one.
My opinion: WOW. Just wow. I would've preferred if it started off with some The Good The Bad & The Ugly style whistling, but it's an excellent remix nonetheless.

This remix is great. Apart from the fact that it brought back memories, it's a great version of a great tune. Thank you for remixing it so well.

Very good, and very catchy. I love the trumpets here.

- Domukaz on September 3, 2004
Is the game based on the show at all?

- CapnHulk on August 3, 2004
I actually found this one while listening to that OC Remix Radio thing. as soon as I heard it, I went and downloaded it immediately. This thing is awesome.
EL EDITO: The trumpet sample works much better in this one than it does in the Zelda 3 mix by the same guy.

I too love the Jaw Harp/Jew's Harp (whatever) and the horn samples are great.
Real western feel.

- ESHbyESH on February 25, 2004
First I want to say I'm a huge fan of old western music, especially Ennio Morriccone (he was the guy who composed the scores for such classics as The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, and A Fist Full Of Dollars.) This is just pure gold. I absolutely love what you did with this stuff. A real change of pace.

- Sapsorrow on September 27, 2002
great remix :)
good choice of style for the song too.
and I hear u have sampled the jewsharp from Cowboy Bebop - Go Go Cactus Man.
hope to hear more like this!

- nim on July 15, 2002
I have never played the game, but it is indeed my cup of tea...I love the 'oink' sound, as it gets you up and moving even before the real song kicks in. Delicious X 12.4
