Yeah I thought the same thing. I think that section would be a lot more powerful emotionally if it didn't try to beat people over the head with it. Otherwise I thought it was pretty cool. Loved the drums.

I looked over it last night and made some changes to the piano and other instruments, got rid of some clipping and murky parts, and changed some timing stuff...but I accidently deleted some things that I shouldn't have so...I dunno. The file is killing my CPU too haha. Can't handle that much Sytrus.

This is pretty damn cool. Reminds of me of po's megaman remix. The snare/clap sound kinda bugs me but that's a tiny nitpick thing. I think as long as the solos you said you'd add have some references to the source it would be fine. edit: actually forget that, Neskvartetten have tons of remixes where the solos have no connection to the source. I think this has a perfect amount of the source material right now.

Wow you weren't kidding when you said it was messy. I'll take a better look at it over the weekend.

Beginning needs work. Fix the piano sample. I'd recommend the Maestro soundfont. Actually, I think the entire intro should be cut out and the song should start at the part at 1:06. Or at least get there quicker. The intro just kinda sits there sounding all off key and weird. I don't know what kind of weird xylophone synth that is in the background, some kind of Sytrus thing I'm guessing, but it doesn't sound right. Do you think you could send me the .flp file? I want to see exactly what's going on here.

Beginning is off key. I don't know whether the dissonance is intentional or not. Sounds unintentional though, so you're gonna have to fix that... Entrances are a lot better now! Pads still sound off key especially around 1:30 and 1:37...and 1:44. Starts to get really messy after that. Pads are overdone. You can't really force atmosphere. Transition at 2:15 would be better if the pads weren't off key. The marimba synth you're using plays some wrong notes I think. Melody that comes in at 3:07 is out of time with the piano and the drums and bass which are also out of time with each other... This is getting there, some issues with wrong notes and wrong keys and mixed up timing. Structure is slowly developing so that's good. Or maybe I've heard this so many times I'm just getting used to it. Whatever. Keep it up.

Pads at the beginning are off key or something. Rainstick sounds better. Entrance is still too sudden! I don't know what's going on here. So far it is sounding more structured...but that isn't saying much. Still feels too random. It's probably because the pads are out of key. And the beat doesn't fit. This mix sounds like it's trying to be atmospheric while the drums are trying to be uptempo or whatever. Doesn't work. Too random. You need to pick a direction the song is going in and stick with it...

This is pretty cool, reminds me of Jamiroquai. Especially that string part around 1:27. Not much to say. Good stuff.

The intro still sounds wrong. The whistle-ish thing goes for 5 bars before the piano comes in so that's why it sounds wrong. Plus, the rhythm that it establishes is too different from the one that the piano plays. Then on top of that the piano barely gets halfway through the second bar before a huge pad comes in. I don't even know if it's a bar because there is no sense of time. That problem happens over and over throughout the song so you need to work on that, instead of just adding more instruments... I think the rainstick is too loud. It's a cool idea though. Could use some reverb or something. Piano still needs to be less fake. Pads are a too loud. It sounds really muddy but it isn't too bad until 1:12. There's just too much happening. The beat you added doesn't really help anything. It sounds cluttered and off key. The entrance at 2:07 is still too loud! it's been like this since the first version and i think I pointed it out. The voice samples are bugging me...if you have a mic you could just record yourself whispering at least. To be honest I kind of stopped listening around there. This song doesn't really go anywhere it just repeats certain parts at random intervals. It's too aimless. Needs to have a point to it.

Just a quick note if you update your link you should probably bump the thread or else nobody will see it. So on to the mix.. First think I noticed is that the pads come in too early. It doesn't seem to be playing in time with the piano...the piano seems to be playing just randomly. eww bass. Wrong note. Made worse by the fact that it is constantly repeating. From what I remember, not a lot has been changed from the first version of this. The entrances are still as awkward as they were, volume disparity is still too much, only now there is a bass playing the wrong note throughout the whole thing. Also noticed clipping around 2:00. Could just be my crappy headphones though. Everything seems random here. Still needs structure and also needs to not have 40 seconds of silence at the end.

I liked the first few seconds of this. The drums and bass groove really well. The horns really aren't that great though. The delay takes awhile for to get used to...feels out of time with everything else. I liked the pan flute sounding thing at 1:48. That was cool. The fakeness of the samples doesn't bother me...it reminds me of a lot of other good dub influenced electronica. Not sure if I'm keeping this. I'd have to listen to it a few more times. I think it definitely deserves more than 4 reviews though.

This is pretty cool. Has a sort of GY!BE thing going on. Feels a little heavy on the left though. Maybe it's just my headphones. Samples don't bother me that much. Yeah this is awesome. Nice work.

not really getting a sense of rhythm here. piano interrupts the heartbeat thing pretty suddenly, then it is interrupted again by stuff. The piano needs something other than an echo on it so it doesn't seem so harsh. The lead instrument that plays around 0:21 is way too murky. I don't know what I'm supposed to be hearing but what sounds like the melody is drowned out by its own decay and the marimba-ish thing. I'm hearing a lot of instruments suddenly appearing then disappearing way too loudly. I recognize the source, I'm not really familiar with it, but I can tell there isn't a whole lot of arrangement. The melody shifts 3 or 4 times throughout in seemingly random intervals. I think I'm rambling. Here are some things to think about: - work on entries, at least change the volumes because the quiet-loud disparity is huge (and add some reverb to that piano, it's wayyy too dry) - structure, to say that this mix doesn't go anywhere would be inaccurate because it goes pretty much everywhere and back more than a few times with no sense of direction. - and finally, arrangement. not hearing much interpretation.

The drums here are awesome. Probably the best sequenced jazz fusion style drumming I have ever heard. It's incredibly realistic, I don't know why some people complain about it being too complicated. Reminds me of the stuff Dennis Chambers did with John Scofield. Since a lot of the fusion stuff from way back was pretty synthy as well, the fakeness really doesn't bother me. Great job.

Didn't see this on the first page and I'm not about to read 52 pages...so does anybody know of any good bass samples? Upright, fingered, picked, fretless, electric, etc.?

The weird notes didn't bother me as much as the fact that this feels more like a remix of 'Dead Presidents II' by Jay-Z than whatever it is a remix of (never heard the original). I really liked the groove here though. Bass is awesome.

I've been meaning to go through all of Binster's older remixes ever since I heard 'Poltergeist Mix' and man...off to a good start so far. Tons of awesome things about this mix. The buildup to the end is perfect, just like it was in Poltergeist Mix. Loved the use of reverse samples too. Can't wait to hear the rest of your stuff.

Very nice...especially right around the bossa nova part. Allusions to Zelda and Metroid were pulled off very well, but damn that Frog's Theme part was awkward. Kinda ruined the vibe for me. Could've at least stretched it out a bit. I dunno.

in progress dkc2 - brambles pokemon crystal - azalea town smrpg - weapons factory harvest moon 64 - winter these will never be finished fyi

As much as I am a fan of lo-fi there is a note at around 0:39, and to a lesser extent one at 1:02, that makes my ears explode. Oww volume disparity. Otherwise this is enjoyable.

this mix is pretty nice but i felt the rapping lacked energy sounds like you're doing it under your breath but it picked up towards the end. flow was pretty tight

omg part at 1:50 this remix was good before that point but that part is what made me keep this song. good work.

I didn't really like anything until 2:10 ish but after that it was all pretty enjoyable. Not bad. actually after listening to it again it's actually really cool all the way through, good job Rellik

This sounds like something from The Sky Moves Sideways-era Porcupine Tree. That might be why the long solos didn't bother me as much. I really like this remix, but the mixing was kinda weird. Bad levels and stuff. I'm definitely keeping this one though. edit: I take back what I said about the mixing and stuff. Maybe I just had the volume to high on my headphone's volume control thingy. It's actually perfect.

Neskvartetten (had to copy and paste that) are my new favourite remixers on this site. This remix is the one that I wanted to hear Sanctuary Dungeon made into, as soon as I heard the trumpet in the original.
