It does get a little screwed up around 3:40, but she's imitating the synth in the game. And ridiculously well. If you can drag your mind bag to 1998, it sounds almostly precisely as the effect in the forest temple. I think "almostly" [sic] is the key word here. In music, "almost" isn't enough. A quarter of a semi-tone is all it takes to turn consonance into dissonance. Or I guess in this case, pleasant dissonance into unpleasant dissonance. The marimba was also in the original track, along with the "oh-eh"s. In fact, I believe those are the only two elements that distinguish this as a Zelda64 "arrangement" and even then they are reproduced virtually verbatim. Like several others, I found the vocals slightly gratuitous, however pleasant they were to listen to. However, I feel this song would be more at home in an "originals" section on her site, considering the new lyrics and composition were obviously and heavily in the majority of the piece. I believe djp direct-posted this for a reason, as he knew not everyone would share his perspective. And that's entirely within his rights and power. I trust his judgment enough to believe that "omg bewbs!" was not the deciding factor.

Whoa. Magus vu.

And reviews of it as a whole should go in the Site Projects forum.

Brilliant. This is what mixing is about.

Someone should sticky this.

Best episode evar.

Donkey and Candy are going to have retarded kids.

But can you DJP?

Sorry I couldn't make it, Larry...was busy signing albums. I have to say though, you're a cruel, cruel person. Iggy's gonna be heartbroken.

Tee hee!

Darn that mozzarella!

Not a big fan of H.P. Lovecraft, I'm guessing.

Heh...post 1337 in the Decisions forum. Nice.

Playing the Prelude smoothly with one hand is a feat in itself. Very impressed with the second half. Good jorb.

Dude, Mario Twins pwnz.

Something you take after the amount of uppers you'd need to not like this remix.

Chrono Trigger Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price? Should be around $50 or something...

Hahaha...brings back fond memories of the Vega vs. Chun Li fight. Thank you, SF Anniversary Collection. Although, it also brings back the unspeakable terror, dread, and utter helplessness I felt as a child whenever Vega would jump onto the wall, knowing full well that the cheap little punk would inevitably jump off and claw me and that there was not a thing I could do about it. And then he'd retreat and do it all over again. Curse you, first-grade reflexes. Ahem... Errr, right...about the mix then. Anyway, yeah...for some reason, when it started, I couldn't help feeling it sounded slightly n00bish (mostly because of the familiar-sounding synth/sample and because omitting the original bassline notes there creates odd harmonies). I quickly got used to it though, so I don't have too much of an issue with that. Effects and percussion are used intelligently and effectively throughout. I think my favorite part was also the country names/"f-f-f-fight" thing. Very nice touch...Rayza always seems to know how to use sound clips/game samples in a discreet and generally non-annoying manner, unlike many other electronica remixers. I also like the break/transition/whatever-you-techno-people-call-it at 3:15. Overall, very competent and well-executed remixing work. Recommended to any fan of Vega (and/or Chun Li's panties ). Good stuff from Rayza as usual. (P.S. R.I.P., Chris and Charles...)

It'd be a nice to have a complete listing of classical pieces he used in the games. I'm interested in arranging "Udderly Abducted" from EWJ2, but it sounds suspiciously classical. Can anybody confirm whether this is true? Although, I could probably come up with something for "Anything but Tangerines" too. But yeah...I guess someone might as well start up the EWJ1/2 Remix Project now.

Sweet, I'm so gonna...wait... (Pssst, codename "SuperMarioRemixProject"!)

Dude, this stuff is tite yo. Ya'll best recognize.

I just wanted to thank Adhesive Boy for monopolizing my playlist for the past few days. I have to say it's been quite a while since I've been this addicted to a song. Might you consider making another cello-based arrangement, of Chrono Trigger's Underwater Palace theme?

Try disabling the SPC700 emulation or, alternatively, turning off all the sound channels (I forgot the shortcuts for that). Some of them might be used for sound effects though, so you might want to leave a couple on.

There's playing ragtime and then there's stumbling over the keys or dragging (again, I only nit this one particular instance past one second, it's only one missed note, really, the rest is done superbly). I dragged at the beginning and then sped up because I felt that it fit the spirit of a pirate drinking song. Also... "Funky Monkey Love" is just another one of those remixes on Kong in Concert that encourages you to think outside the box! Have you never thought of how Donkey Kong would express his feelings for Candy Kong? Well then wonder no longer! Vigilante has given you the fans the insight into Donkey Kong's love life that even Rare's development team was reluctant to provide! That's freakin' incest, dude. You people are freakin' sick. This song deserves to be in Jerry Springer. Or Japan.

Protricity did his best to eliminate the clipping, but apparently it was specific only to certain setups (for example, some people had their equalizer turned on), so it was impossible for him to troubleshoot every possible cause. I'm sure he'd appreciate any suggestions on avoiding this kind of thing from happening in the future, though.
