A decent first submission from Ryu7x of Guardian Legend. As the name suggests, this track is very clean, and is decidedly dominated by its bassline, which uses a nice stereo patch that's strong enough to tie things together. Melody is covered by piano and bell pads, which could have used some reverb - this would be my one big criticism - and the drums are house / 808 style, with a nice, deep kick. This is the first ReMix to be posted after review by a newly implemented Judges panel. Some of their comments included questions about the abrupt ending, which was apparently intentional (didn't bother me too much), compliments on the bassline, which is certainly the highlight and focal point of the track's construction, and suggestions on doing more chord work so the track was more fleshed out. A solid effort and a good initial mix, there's definitely arranging skills happening and the track's worth grabbing simply because of its foundation. If Ryu7x pairs this type of mixing with some improved effects and a little more layered arranging, it'll be beautiful.

The ending is ridiculously ubrupt. I actually had to stop for a second and process that it ended. Overall not too interesting for me, but it would be promising with updated sounds and overall be more fleshed out.

I am really sad VGmix is down at the moment because i'd love to hear a revisitation. Hopefully when the site is back up i'll have the chance.

You can find it here as with most of my latest works:

I don't know if I would submit it as I have nothing to gain from doing so.

Certainly not a knock against Mike, as he had some much better material posted later on like "Influence of Koholint", but as the very first remix passed by the judges panel, you can see that OCR's come a long way, as this mix would be an instant rejection nowadays.

NOTE: Some of you may have noticed: I have recently been trying to review all songs that do not have more than 1 reply to the original review. There are a few newer songs with tons of replies, and more than 4 pages of songs with just the initial review! You guys should help out and say whatcha got to say about all those remixes back there that are nearly forgotten.

Hmmm... at least this mix is very clean! But there's plenty I don't like here. The beatdrop is overused and about twice as loud as it needs to be. The samples sound like ass (or GM, whichever way you want to think of it! :D ). I gotta compliment Ryu7x on his sense of song structure here - the timing on everything seems just right, and it's hardly easy to get bored with this one. So I would say it's a fun tune, but no big loss if you skip over it.
