Trace Kyshad gives us our first Jurassic Park ReMix that is VERY spooky and atmospheric. I would never have thought to look to this game, which I only briefly played, for inspiration, but I'm very glad this track was ReMixed, as it's a nice composition with cool chromatic runs that are very eeeery and well-capitalized on by a synth line awash in reverb by Trace. The drum track keeps the waltz feel, which is nice as I sensed a drum loop was gonna come in that made things more traditional. The 3/4 signature works fantastically well with the effects that Trace throws in, of raptors doing their whole "roar loudly" thing and what not. Very unexpected ReMix, definitely grab it and see what I mean.

I don't really like raptor sound samples; I think they're a little too distracting from the mix. Ultimately, this mix is an incredibly good Halloween anthem.

I'm generally hesitant about sound effects. I think in most cases they detract rather than add (though there are notable exceptions). The extra dinosaur SFX are okay, but it seems like the only thing the remix really has going for it, and it's a pretty weak thing to stand on. KF

I wasn't feeling the sfx, but the music here is wonderfully creepy. It's also interesting to hear how people write drums for time sigs that aren't 4/4. it gets repetitive, but it just adds to the hypnotic feel of the track. As if the pitch-modulated vox wasn't enough.

Love the creepiness of this. Great mood here.
The sound effects are a little cheesy for me, they feel too tacked on top. Just my opinion though. Doesn't outweigh my like for the piece though.

The atmosphere is nice and sufficiently tense, though this doesn't feel like a waltz to me, at least not until the beat comes in. Then i'm feeling it.
Just needs a changeup section IMO.

Hearing a waltz in a decidedly unorthodox style was cool. Would have loved to have had an original melody built on top of the arranged source tune so that the piece could have more direction, but what's in place was really cool. Definitely doesn't get enough recognition. Solid work, Graham!

I don´t like that synth that begins at 1:25, but the rest of the music quality sounds good to me.

Hardly perfect, but very very cool.
Highly recommended OCR.

There are parts of this song that make me wonder if Trace got a hold of a time machine to grab some Dinosaur sound samples. Get ready for your own personal ride through the jungles of Jurassic Park when you listen to this one. I only have one complaint with this one. There is a lead instrument that starts about 1:25 that I think we could have really done with out. The rest of the song makes me not want to close my eyes in fear of what I might dream up. I liked this one much more then the 3rd Jurassic Park movie. I think we could have lived without that as well.
