  1. At first I thought it was cluttered. Too many themes together. But I sorta like it anyway. I think the problem is that although I can hear Waterworld at the beginning (Toxic Dump) after the first few seconds it completely drowns away and I can only hear Grabbag mixed with Stalker (Hollywood Holocaust) I'm also not sure if you need the Duke quotes in there. It might be hurting your remix as opposed to helping. It makes it sound like one of those subpar remixes people make on youtube, where all they do is take a theme and throw random Duke quotes into it and add a crappy moving image. It could use a little more, how do I say this.. personality. It's a little bit interesting but not enough to make me want to get the song. Also there's a note or chord that starts playing at like :20, and it just continues for like the entire song. I don't know if it's intentional but it really sticks out for me. I'd try to make it more interesting. I'm sorry if I can't be more specific than that. I want to give you more constructive opinions but I'm not really sure what you could do to improve this. It's a good effort, but I think in it's current state it's not unique enough to get passed if you submit it. ^^^ Maybe make the beat less repetitive and more catchy? Remove the quotes (just to see if it sounds better that way), And do something with the Waterworld that's in there. Right now I hear it at the beginning and I hear two notes of something at the very end of the song. Also, the unfortunate problem with Grabbag is that its a song that is REALLY repetitive. ---------------------- P.s. Grabbag isn't played in Level 1. It's only played at the title screen. Level 1 plays a song called Stalker, and level 4 (Toxic Dump) plays Waterworld. Level 2 Red Light District plays Death Toll, and doesn't make an appearance that I can hear in your remix. (Just saying so if you submit it, there is no confusion about what tracks you're using) (If you ever decide to make another Duke related remix, may I recommend looking at Alienz, Say your prayers (Lunar Reactor). It's a track that I think has a lot of potential. And I think your remix style could create quite an interesting track from that.(just a thought:-P))
  2. Hi, new member. Posting a request for remixes of the following two songs. Duke3d - Alienz (Aliens, Say your Prayers!) Duke3d - Departure (These are the midi versions) There are quite a number of Grabbag covers and remixes out there but I don't think the actual soundtrack of Duke3d is getting the love it deserves, at least not from OCR, as Duke Nukem isn't even listed in the games section. >_<; I think tracks like Waterworld, Plasma, Urban Jungle, Space Storm, Streets, Lord of L.A., Restricted Area, Whomp and so on, should get a chance. Hopefully there are some remixers out there that would be interested in trying their hand at one or more tracks from Duke3d. Or even other Duke games. Maybe as a little tribute to Lee Jackson and Bobby Prince. Back to the request - I would like to suggest staying away from fast/hardcore techno for these remixes. Other than that, I'm open to anything. I'm leaning more towards rock or orchestral. Or a mix of genres. But really, I'd be happy just seeing someone try one of the tracks. Thank you, if nothing else, for at least reading this far. P.s., the request is for Alienz or Departure. But if someone is interested in another track excluding Grabbag then by all means.
  3. Hey,

    Just saw your Duke Nukem thread in the Request section. I was going to revive the thread but I didn't see any particular need to.

    You're actually mostly going to find covers/remixes of Duke Nukem's theme song Grabbag, if you want to check out some of those covers, try duke4.net Some are good, like Chris "Vertex Guy" Kline's.. but some are pretty bad.

    I would also recommend a specific version of grabbag. The main theme from Duke Nukem Manhattan Project. Unfortunately it's not very expanded but it is my personal favorite.

    Hope that helps somehow.

    Ciao
