  1. this songs great, not sure what all the problems in the judge panel are if this only had a few changes over the original. awesome acoustic!
  2. Not a bad piece of techno, thing that i'm wondering the most about is why the name seems to be Smashing Pumpkins reference (who had a song titled "The Beginning Is The End Is The Beginning")? stylistically, this remix doesn't really make me think of either the pumpkins style, or of the style of their song with the same title. Not that it really matters, might have just been a coincidence, just found it odd. maybe i'm viewing the world too pumpkin-centrically. Cool stuff, i probably would have liked a little more variety in the instrumentation than the synth, but that's just me.
  3. This song is jawesome. i already review it on vgmix, so i don't think i really need to again here, but this is simply expertly done. i agree with djpretzel on this being my favorite from the album, but that doesn't mean there's no love for the others, Aetherius' mix in particular comes to mind as another favorite. Great album all together guys!
  4. this is really great, one of the few songs in a good while i'm keeping. Love the piano and arrangement.
  5. it seems to be decently played, but it just seems too plain a piano mix to me, these types always sorta bore me, but that's probably just my opinion.
  6. Andrew actually mentioned some of Steve Reich's more experimental works. You might also want to look at his more classical works, such as his more famous Music for 18 Musicians, Tehillim/Desert Music, "Music for Mallet Instruments, Organs, and Voices" (the piece that inspired this), and "Woods,Strings, and Keyboards". I'm sure some of you will find them repeatitive, but given the fact that this site is about videogame music (a medium that is built for constant looping) i don't think it should be too much of a stretch.
  7. oh dear god i love you mazedude. not only does all your previous music rock, but steve reich is one of my favorite composers. I really like the usage of mallets in this song, its very reminiscent of some of reich's works, particularly his piece "Music for Mallet Instruments, Voices and Organs." Following the minimalist style, it involves a nice slow progression and build up. This is extremely well constructed, your creativity is quite amazing. edit: oops, hadn't read the full write up before reviewing, apparently it was directly inspired by that piece, silly me.
  8. yeah, what No_Style said, its great except too much voice sample. kinda reminds me of FuZZneK's old castlevania remix that i loved except for the excessive use of the medusa head getting blowed up sound effect.
  9. i kinda like this one, this song is sorta halfway new age sounding, the samples are good and the distorted piano is different. i really don't care how many remixes of zeal get made anyways, its a good song, and besides i don't even have that many remixes of the theme on my playlist compared to some other themes (like the chocobo theme, although people can feel free to stop making those cause i've always found it a bit on the goofy side anyways), so doesn't bug me. People should basically remix whatever they want to hear remixes of themselves, if what they want isn't already out there, you should make it.
  10. love this mix since i downloaded it off your site wheneverago, looped it a good few times i might add. ecco rocks and so does supergreenx, now go make more.
  11. i wub u mazedude, keep pumping them out, this songs pretty nice, its a good play on the original melody.
  12. i hate saxes, so my opinion on this song is pretty much moot.
  13. damn i love that buzzing dotmatrix printer thing. not so sure about the voice sample, but this songs sweet.
  14. does sound a bit midiish, but i like the second part more than the first, the intro sounds straight out of metalgear solid or something. its pretty good anyways, i just like the style of the second part better.
  15. sweeeett.... i never thought i'd have any songs from mario64 because the soundtrack wasn't much. but i currently have 4 remixes of this one song, and every one of them is great. This one is just awesome, its like a slightly less complicated version of his other two piano related mixes (aphrodite oceanus and Aesir), but, well, mario. Wingless rocks.
