"salt at the bottom" - new compotune
Martin Penwald replied to OverCoat's topic in Post Your Original Music!
Nice, atmospheric piece, but the beginning sounds very empty and repetitive. It gets interesting after 0:40, but then there's the breakdown which sounds quite similar to the beginning. It's on the thin line between genius and NO, leaning towards the former. -
For those who like dark DnB...
Martin Penwald replied to The Vagrance's topic in Post Your Original Music!
Kinda weird beginning, but that's what makes it interesting (and good, I might add). The rest is pretty much standard, though; there's nothing that stands out and/or catches my attention. -

Sunrise - retro-ish electronic bullshit
Martin Penwald replied to OverCoat's topic in Post Your Original Music!
Up until 0:56, this sounds like the intro of some 60s SciFi series. I dig that. The sound coming in at 0:29 in the background adds a lot to the atmosphere, but it sounds like the beginning of it would be cut off or something. Dunno. -
"Send to CK!" - totally owned compotune
Martin Penwald replied to OverCoat's topic in Post Your Original Music!
It starts very promising; I really like the soundfond you use at the very beginning of this song. Unfortunately, the song never picks up speed. It drags along for over two minutes, and, although being so short, gets kinda repetitive. Not bad, but not really good either. Mediocre. You can do better. -
"been there done that" - new compotune - 8 channel
Martin Penwald replied to OverCoat's topic in Post Your Original Music!
This is amazing. It actually sounds like from an old videogame; I always get Megaman-isg pictures floating around in front of my eyes when I listen to it. Damn that's nice. -
[Mixset] Binster Mixset August 2006
Martin Penwald replied to binster's topic in Post Your Original Music!
I'm currently listening to it. Not exactly the stuff I usually listen to, but I like it nonetheless. Nice selection of tracks, btw. I would have never dreamed to hear Jurrasic 5 and Chris Hülsbeck in one mix... -
OCR01513 - Cave Story "Escape Route"
Martin Penwald replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This is a wonderful song. Despite being over 6 minutes, it never gets repetitive or boring. Very nice flute playing, especially in the metal-ish part. Nice beat, too. I liked this from the very first listen I gave it. And this is rather rare. -
OCR01514 - Mega Man 3 'Blue Balls'
Martin Penwald replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This just doesn't work for me. There is a lot of potential for great remixes in there, but the medley ruins it for me. Some of the transitions really bother me, and I think that it's simply too long. It's really sad, considering that this could have been a bunch of awesome songs. -
Chrono Trigger: Guardia Forest (Collab w/Doomsday)
Martin Penwald replied to CC Ricers's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
Zomg! Final version? Has the odyssey come to an end? Must download immediately. -
OCR01510 - Chrono Trigger "Antimatter"
Martin Penwald replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I've been listening to this time and again since Beatdrop posted it in a DnB thread in UnMod some time ago. Quality work; I especially like the part from 1:59 on when the soundscape becomes empty; that's a nice opener for the following build-up. -
Metroid Prime 2 'Stir of Echoes' RESUB 11/25
Martin Penwald replied to avaris's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
Is it just me, or is that whole piano thing unbelievably quiet? Turn up the volume, please. -
OCR01507 - Metroid Prime 2 "Torvus Clockwork"
Martin Penwald replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I never played the Metroid Prime series, but I love the SNES version, and thus I immediately recognized the tune. Very nice ambient mix. Actually the first remix in a while that I can listen to on repeat without getting bored. -
OCR01508 - Castlevania III "Froggy Mosh"
Martin Penwald replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Nice rock song that gets really good from 2:59 on. Though I think that the climax is somewhat on the short side. -
OCR01506 - Double Dragon II "Twin Blood"
Martin Penwald replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I have to admit that I'm not really fond of the slow part which follows the drum solo. Somehow, this drains a lot of the energy the track has in all other parts. That being said, it's still a nice classic rock song. -
Streets of Rage Remake sampler
Martin Penwald replied to lazygecko's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
I downloaded the WIP pack Gecko once posted over at .org, and some of it is nice, while some other songs are simply great. Can't wait to hear more. Prodigy ftw. I had a big smile in my face when I heard that sample in one of Geckos SoR songs for the first time. -
NEW album coming soon!! Trance/breakbeat MP3 included.
Martin Penwald replied to zircon's topic in Post Your Original Music!
If I'm not mistaken, there is a sound that comes in 4 times in the first 30 seconds, and you can only hear it on the right side. That one is actually made to drift from one side to the other. The part starting at 00:42, including the build-up to 1:02, sounds like standard-90s-european-teenie-trance; nothing special here. But it gets quite interesting from 1:02 on. -
Ep. 058 took out a small bit of my flight, and I was very grateful for that (the movies they showed sucked). Great show, loved the interview with BGC.
-
BluRay (as well as HD DVD) can go and suck my ass. I'm not going to buy all my movies AGAIN.

So I played Ridge Racer 7 today. Looks really neat, but it's not a system seller IMO. It seems that PS3 will be a system that you really do not need to buy immediately after it will be released.

Welcome to new judges, Big Giant Circles and pixietricks!

hott Sorry guys, he's already married. Your post only says that he can not (or let's say should not). But it doesn't mean that you don't want to... -
WIP: Command and Conquer - Act On Instinct
Martin Penwald replied to Spazdor's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
Okay, the drums you are using now sound way cleaner, but is that some clipping I hear there?!? Next, digging that part from 0:46, but I think that was in there since V.2. Alas, I don't think the sound that starts at 2:17 really fits into the piece. Too squeaky or something. I take that you will make a real ending for this song? Because the fade doesn't fit such a powerful song IMO. -
[Danger] Breakcore, a Boulderdash Remix
Martin Penwald replied to Skrypnyk's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
The breakcore version fucks my head really good, but I don't really feel like it's connected to the melody in the background. Nice playing around with the panning, though. -
Heh, when the chord progression and the bassline got played at appr. 27:00, I thought that Lover Reef was about to be played.

WIP: Command and Conquer - Act On Instinct
Martin Penwald replied to Spazdor's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
I think that you still need to clean up the drums used after 1:05. They do not sound as "clean" as the other stuff going on at that time. Kinda like a bad sample.
