Do you guys feel invaded? As for Bladiator...you guys have so little confidence in your favorite "Mulatto Stallion." Sure, Larry doesn't have the charm with the ladies or the romantic skills at the piano like Bladiator. Sure he isn't 6'7" with whispy blonde hair and soulfull blue eyes... And sure, he recently sired little D'Kwandishawn leaving him forever bound to a woman whose name sounds like some dangerous kind of sushi... But he's got one thing the B-Unit will never have--- The complete episodes of Batman: The Animated Series on cd. ACK.. too clever.. witty.. intelligent.. GET OFF OUR BOARD

Nice job being creative and expanding the source material. It's fun to try and develop just a few bars into a whole tune like that. Good work. Also, this is clearly Bowser is American-Pissed. Now someone should make Bowser is British-Pissed.

Hey I'm an OCRemixer! How cool is that? Thanks everyone for the nice comments and valid criticisms. Of course I'll take it all to heart on future projects. Vigilante: Good ear on the minor 9 chord. As for the question, Majin was right, guitar was the only real instrument. And it's true that the RD soundtrack is a little generic and cheesy, but hey I'm a cheeseball myself, and I like that kind of stuff. It's a matter of personal taste I guess. Prophecy: Thanks for the in-depth review and the constructive comments I just had a couple questions. I wish you could be more specific with your structure comment so I would know what to improve. I think I know what you're driving at, and if so then I agree with you, but I'm not sure. Also I still have no idea what you meant by "numbers" in the transitions. I'm not sure you'll come back and read this, but if you do, and you could clarify, that would be fantastic. Again, thanks! About the samples, I promise I'm looking for better ones to use in future mixes, but good jazz ones are proving to be rather tricky to locate. Oh and about it not being Afro-Cuban, well I will concede that it doesn't sound anything like pure Afro-Cuban, like a Chucho Valdéz or some such, because I haven't studied enough about 6/8 piano montunos and aux. percussion rhythms and such. The rhythm groove between the bass and drums that I set up was based entirely on Afro-Cuban rhythms though. So I suppose it comes down to being really difficult to categorize, which is AOK with me Anyway, I'm happy to answer any questions and I welcome ANY comments/criticism you all may have, so feel free to post em here or PM me or whatever. Glad you all enjoyed the mix It's refreshing that so many people here like jazz— the jazz community is hurting for an audience almost as much as the vgmusic community. I guess combining the two isn't a particularly lucrative venture Ah well, never stopped me before. Whew well I guess that's it for now. Thanks again everybody! -~·Jaroban·~-

I liked this mix a lot. Here are some of the things I liked: 1. Your samples were really well chosen and they complimented each other very nicely. 2. The balance was very good, the drums were not overbearing, which is great. 3. I liked your creativity, your rhythmic reinterpretation of the melody really fit the new style of the song well. 4. The vocals were well-conceived and they sounded good. I only caught a few of the spanish phrases so I'm not sure how clever they were but they sounded good musically My review before was a bit out of line, so I apologize. This is really one of the better mixes I've heard on here, because I could really tell you're using your head and being creative with it. I guess because of this I thought I'd offer up some critiques and try and help you along the way; unfortunately my critiques were entirely based on personal tastes which is stupid, because obviously everyone's tastes are different. In retrospect I realized that I wouldn't want to see a review like that on one of my mixes. All in all you did a nice job so congrats. I'm new to this reviewing thing so I hope you'll accept my apologies. Look forward to hearing more from you in the future! -~•Jaroban•~-
