Mmmm...nice sound. Love the dark tone on the piano; nicely played. It's short but still manages to develop. Very emotive. YES~

Those hats are so hot you could iron your clothes with them. Not in a good way. The hi-freqs on the hats combined with the lo-freq sound of everything else really unbalances the sound. Vinnie's right, good energy, and great use of sound effects, but the texture sounds smooshed together. Gating effects might help too with some of the rhythmic blandness. NO, but lets hear a fixed up version

Vinnie, I can hear Flowers in the end, and the Maw is there, it's just kind of faint and buried harmonically. I'd have to say, this is a very pretty piece of work; very relaxing. Great textures. I feel like it's very liberal in its interpretation though; kind of a rhapsody on the themes. I'm really borderline on this piece, but I think I'm leaning towards YES. I want to wait and see what other joojes say, but put me down as Y for now.

The synth just kills this track. It's such an uninteresting, buzzy sound that doesn't jive with the rest of the texture. The soundscape gets really crowded, but at the same time, it doesn't feel like there's much there to support it. You've got everything shoved into the mid-range with very little foundation. 1:12 is particularly messy. Arrangement on the other hand is imaginative and really nice. NO, resub

Mazedude brings the groove once again. Love that factory percussion; really heavy and lays down a solid foundation for the rest of the synths. Fantastic sound design. YES~

Really interesting harmonic ideas. A great cinematic take on Kraid's theme. Samples are a little iffy in terms of humanization, but not so bad that it kills the piece. I think it's good to go! YES~

It's a similar sound, but it's not sampled. I like this! The soundscape is really nice; big and airy without feeling messy. The sound really evolves nicely. Not a groundbreaking trance track, but it's the genre done right. YES~

Gotta agree with Vig's points. Things get a little messy with the overlap with the violin and oboe. Add to that some obnoxious clipping in the oboe something like twice in the song, and it's a no go. I'd work more on humanization in your sequencing too. Think about velocities and how each individual note would be played by the musician; successive notes are rarely played at the same exact velocity. Downbeats (or upbeats, depending on the style) will be emphasized. NO, resub

Not feeling the medlyitis aspect of this mix. I feel like you did some pretty straight up genre-adaptations of a load of songs, without much thought into developing and arranging the ideas. I can see some people thinking the vocals are hilarious or something, but they're seriously out of place, especially when they're so exposed. The playing and percussion are great, but I don't see a lot of arrangement value in this piece. NO, but definitely resub

I don't think there's anything wrong with the samples. This is a pretty groovy, piece of work. I love that timpani roll; it's like "HEY LISTEN UP, WE ARE DOING SOMETHING BIG HERE." Piano section does a nice job mellowing things out. Double-time section right after gets me dancing. Very cool stuff. YES!~

Scare you out? Grammar atrocities aside, the account was most likely still logged in and someone on Reuben's computer just visited the site. In any case, let's try to avoid conspiracy theories.

Please don't ever say "same difference." That doesn't mean anything. The phrase is "same thing."

Merry Go Round.

MAKOTOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo SHOBU-DAAAAAAaaaaa -- Honestly though, I am also kind of miffed at the lack of SF3 characters in IV. I absolutely love 3rd Strike and its wild and wonky cast.

I would love to see a new Zelda game for DS or something in the style of Zelda II.

Do the bumpty bump. Let's get some more desiiiigns.

Yes, of course, because DC Comics is one guy making all the comics. Marvel too. You know that different writers do different things with comics, right? Frank Miller vs. Grant Morrison, Alan Moore vs. Geoff Johns. How many times has Superman's origin story been revisited? Original Earth-2 Pre-Crisis Superman, Byrne's Post-Crisis Superman, Waid's Birthright Superman, hell Geoff Johns is writing SUPERMAN: SECRET ORIGINS this summer! Hell look at the entire run of Ultimate Spider-man; Bendis takes key points throughout Stan Lee's Spider-man's history, starting from the origin, and reinterprets them into a tighter, more focused, more cohesive story. I mean come on, the original Clone Saga lasted over three years; Bendis does it better in something like four issues. And you can bet your ass Bendis will never resort to "It's MAGIC!" to nullify 20 years of wedded bliss between Peter and Mary Jane Parker. As for fan-fiction and fan-art being nothing but kids fantasies, those kids fantasies are the very basis of most modern fandoms. Nothing ever comes of them? Just because they don't get packaged up and sold means they're worthless? Just because it isn't "mainstream?" Bullshit. There is plenty of worthwhile fan art and fan fiction out there. And doujinshi isn't mainstream? Clearly you've never even heard of Comiket. And you know what? Where the hell do you get off saying this? I'm sorry, but you don't know a damn thing about the intentions of any of the remixers here. So quit being so presumptuous.

I know what you mean, but I am being serious.

You want examples? You've never seen fan art or read fan fiction? People are always taking something that they didn't create and redrawing, rewriting, reinterpreting it in a different way. I mean seriously, look at any fandom of anything. People are constantly putting their own spin on something that exists, and they've been doing it for decades. Music hardly has a monopoly on this phenomenon. Hell, off the top of my head: West Side Story is Romeo and Juliet. Wicked is the Wizard of Oz. Rosencrantz and Gildenstern Are Dead is Hamlet without Hamlet. Disney movies are Grimm's Fairy Tales; sometimes Hans Christian Anderson. That new Friday the 13th movie is coming out soon. It's a remake. The Ring is a remake of Ringu. The Grudge is a remake of The Grudge. Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai = a Bollywood version of My Best Friend's Wedding. DC Comics' "Elseworlds." Marvel's "What If?" Etc.

Probably a good idea to just get all of Joshua Morse's remixes and throw them on there.

But...they are...

You know there are torrent clients for Mac, right?

They resort to it because they want the praise without doing any of the work. They want to look cool.

Karin in SFA3.

I used to use VLC but I switched to CCCP/MPC for vids. Winamp for music.
