I'm always looking for more jazz to add to my jazz playlists. 👌 That chord at 2:17! Aadd4/F#? Not a music theory expert, but somethin' like that :-) -

OCR04963 - Donkey Kong Country "I Want to Go Home"
Geoffrey Taucer replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I love the way the vox feel on this. A delicate, ethereal performance, and the way they're mixed just makes it sound like the singer is whispering right in my ear, and I mean that in the best possible way -

prophetik music started following *NO* Donkey Kong Country 3 (SNES) "Systematic KAOS" *PROJECT*

quick co-sign with the gario and chimpa. when i turn this all the way down, the last thing i hear (for a while) is guitar. which is a shame, because this is a great arrangement and has loads of fun stuff happening alongside it. my particular favorite spot is coming out of the slithering 7/4 line around 1:30 into the power-metal section that's right after it - really fun section. the solo at 3:07 is also great. crank down the guitar on the opening and this is a definite pass, because the arrangement's nuts. this is IMO a very straightforward fix and won't require a ton of balancing to make it work. NO

I really like the tempo shift in the middle. The ReMix goes hard and has some neat modulations! Somewhat heavy but maintains jnWake's jazz background. -

OCR04967 - *YES* Donkey Kong Country 2 "Kommand & Kongquer"
Liontamer replied to jnWake's topic in Judges Decisions
Prot did a great cover of this theme that put it on my radar (I owned the first game, but not the second.) Noting here that I've only heard the revised version. I'm familiar with Wake's work of course, yet I was very surprised by just how structurally interpretive the treatment ended up being here. Sections like 1:48-2:30 feature Ronin Op F and TheManPF creating tension and aggression, respectively, but the arrangement doesn't need to stay menacing with the source tune to have something to say creatively, so I'm glad Wake leaned into his penchant for dynamic proggyness, which never steers him wrong.

Chimpazilla replied to Liontamer's topic in Judges Decisions
This is a wicked-cool arrangement! As Gario said there are so many excellent elements here and great performances. But I have to agree with Gario about the guitar and volume of leads. The guitar is oppressive in the 200-300Hz range. I don't think it needs to be brought down by a lot (a couple of db should do it), but the lead volumes are also way too quiet throughout the track, giving the guitar an even heavier feel. Gario is completely right to point out the completely different volume balance that happens at 3:07, that is the lead-volume that should be the target in the rest of the track. Leads should be heard! When you lower that guitar volume, I suspect the low-lows are going to sound a tad weak, you may want to bump the low-lows by a db or two to compensate and give the low end some beef. This is a great track and an easy YES but a volume rebalance must happen first. NO (please rebalance guitar and leads and resubmit asap) -

Gario replied to Liontamer's topic in Judges Decisions
Not as familiar with DKC3 as the others (like most, I imagine), but surprisingly I pretty easily recognized the source in this even before listening to the source myself - it's pretty distinct, and this arrangement does a good job representing it. There's a lot of cool harmonic switch-ups done throughout the arrangement, and I think they all work great. Overall, the arrangement is great, especially with all of the pad work and textures behind the guitar. Sample is soupy sounding for the guitar (doesn't really have any sense of strikes or strums), but it also chugs nicely so it works well enough. Speaking of the guitar, though, I think this is my main hang-up with the arrangement - the mix is just drowning in that guitar. There are so many cool things going on behind it, but I had to really strain to hear it all. I know it's an important instrument for this genre, but the mix needs to be better balanced between all of the other instruments, particularly the leads. Listen to 3:07 for the potential this arrangement has when the guitar isn't dominating over everything else - it's fantastic and you hear every detail of that lead. I like this, I think it would be significantly better with a better mix so I'm sending it back hoping you'll be able to clean this up. NO -
