  1. Really nice-sounding intro. When it gets going, the beats are great, but the 600AD theme on the piano kind of weighs it down. It feels like it was forced to the track. The later half works much better, and when the 600AD theme returns on the lighter synth, it, too works. Overall, not a keeper for me because of the piano issue, but lots of previous reviewers seem to have enjoyed this a lot, so definitely give it a listen!

  2. This is a highly evocative piece from the game (the moment you first hear it is pretty awesome, it certainly was for me). This version updates and extends it quite well. It starts out really chill, but gets some boombast added with the timpani drums, and grows later on. I think I liked the beautiful, very ambient-sounding intro the best, and didn't fully appreciate the direction it took. It's good nonetheless. The flute and string embellishments are beautiful, and the way the theme is varied and explored is satisfying. Also, I like the way the bass drops for a long time. There's a spacey feel there.

  3. Yeah! This project has gone far, and can go even further. Awesome work everyone!

    Computer woes.. I can relate. A fan started screaming in my laptop. I wasn't able to fix it, and when I was moving my stuff to my spare machine, it overheated and is now gone for good. Thankfully, I think I have backups for most of the stuff.

  4. Cool to see this one coming out! Great work everyone (..or should I wait until I hear it? ehehe), especially Brad for getting it done and out! Really looking forward to this one, I really enjoyed playing the game - I didn't finish it as it was a borrowed Gameboy, but anyways. The music was fantastic, the game wouldn't have been nearly as atmospheric without such a great, fitting soundtrack.. so yeah. This should be good. Now I know what I'll be doing on the Finnish independence day. :)!!

  5. Awesome to see this released! I will listen, and I will also try out the game some time. I heard a lot about it back in the day but haven't played it yet. MASSIVE props for making a project out of such an obscure game.. I always enjoy seeing the less known games get ReMixed.

    One thought, now that this is out.. I wonder if there would be interest in the ScummVM community to make it possible to get these ReMixes to play in-game? That would be cool - a ReMix pack for the game itself!

  6. Yay, the anniversary round! I'll have to try to participate.. I don't have internet at home at the moment though, so hopefully I remember and can get online on time. On the other hand, less distractions. =)

    Good idea/theme for the round, the requests! I think I'll try to do Traffic Department 2192.. lot of transcribing to do!

    Thanks for organizing again this year, Bundeslang. Those were some cool statistics, too!

  7. I was probably inspired by Axes Denied and the Precursors project to find out more about video game music covers and remixes. I read somewhere that OCR is full of elitist bastards and I actually stayed away from the place for a while. :roll:

    At the same time I wondered why so many of the mixes I downloaded from VGMix were so substandard. This is much more my kind of place. I guess I'm an elitist bastard myself!

  8. Very nice track, not a super favourite but well executed regardless. Rozo has his own style, clarity and synths being the central features. His sound is recognizable.

    The drums in this one are very Kikuta-like in my opinion! My nitpick for this piece is that the strings sometimes feel like they drag a little bit behind. They could have perhaps been shifted a little bit forwards to compensate for the attack.
