  1. Ahhh, nice ambient work. I always felt you were stronger with these type of pieces as your orchestral works always had this traveling feel that suits new age so well. Some of the percussion as mechanical (like the snare and tambs), but other than that the orchestration was wonderful. I see you found a way around VOTA's audio buzz ^_^ (through it in the background).

    Edit: I hear the Doduka now! I cant believe I missed it the first time.

  2. Ok the making of the drum beat is rather ingeniously simple ^_^...infact its very fun. This song is rather low calibur as far as mixes go these days, a virutal remake of the original with a nifty drumbeat ontop.

    To clarify, samples do make it DnB or Breakbeat, its in execution. There is FINE line between DnB and Breakbeat, which is that Breakbeat is DnB cut up to add lots of breaks. Its like how a rectangle is a square, but a square isnt a rectangle. Same idea. So when people say this is DnB technically they arnt wrong ;p.

  3. :/...Obviously the judges havnt listened to the original latley or they woudl see how much a mistake they made...Im sry, but I dont think a remix should be on here unless it gives the original song a new spin or makes it better. This does neither...if you remotley liked this song i suggest listening to the original...its alot better :/.

  4. Alot of people dislike the beginning, but the beginning in reality is a very true remake of the original track, which Im guessing not many of you liked. Around 0:30, it picks up a little and gets into the second part of the song, this then trails on for a little, then he goes into what I think is an original, trancey composition because i dont remeber it being in that particular song, possible the Ethereal song (if anyone is familiar with the OST). Not bad, not great, but a solid techno mix. Like the other 2 Mario Paint remixes on the website, it stays very true to the original theme, but this takes a more of a leap then the original 2. I give it a 7/10.

    (I liked the voice samples :D, would have liked to hear the one from the game title screen tho)

  5. Although Sonic Adventure was one of the few songs for the Dreamcast I actually sat down and beat, I dont recognize the theme here, the jungle theme possibly? I dont know for sure. Has subtle breakbeat-like drums in the background that are filtered making it sound very ambient, in fact the whole piece sounds rather ambient. Also very ethinic sounding (atleast to me) probably from the wodwind-like instruments that play. The song shapes as the piano starts taking the melody away in a more situated manor. I liked it alot. Like his Soft Museum Jam mix of NiGHTS, all the instruements sound very natural and "right". Recommended, give it a try, I give it a 9.5/10.

  6. Hehehe, i really liked this mix for some odd reason (maybe Im insane >8)? ) Anyways, it is very energetic, and never boring, with some nice samples (i really liked the briefly used horns) ans wtf was up with the voice samples? I keep trying to make sense of them, but its almost like the words are mumbled, o well. An experience I believe everyone should have atleast once. Recommended if your up something different. (Someones going to kill me for this but...) I give this song a 9/10, because, although its experimental, it works, and is very unique, maybe not for everyone, but unique and took alot of hard work and a little insanity themselves.

  7. Another very sweet mix by McVaffe. Ive never played Actraiser either, but this mix is awsome.

    This is definately one of my favorite mixes, it's catchy, good dynamic drums, good choice of synths, good overall feeling, good rhythm choice, everything seems to just make sense in the piece.

    That pretty much sums it up, and Ill add that the scratchs are well placed and flavorful, true freestyle. Highly recommended, I as well give it a 10/10 for being a very unique, dynamic, song that flowing seemlessly.
