  1. This brings back happy memories of sitting infront of the TV hours on end playing Top Gear. I loved that game.

    Now, to the ReMix - This is a very difficult decision. The bass frequencies are much too overemphasized. Metal doesn't necessarily have to have so much focus on heavily emphasizing the bass frequencies. If anything, it makes it sound worse. The arrangement itself is okay. That, and the ending is really quite strange. However, it works :D

    Overall, the overemphasization on the bass kills this mix for me. It'll be no for me.

    NO

  2. Okay, this is definitely quite strange. I personally REALLY dislike the fact that the bitrate is so low. Other than that, I feel that the ReMix is really quite unique. I hate voting no because of a bitrate issue. If we can get our hands on a higher bitrate version, I'd gladly say yes.

  3. Wow. This is a difficult decision. The first minute or so really feels empty for me. Yet, after so, I feel that the mix is pretty cool regardless of its unprofessional sounding percussion which really gets to me in a bad way. I feel that the percussion REALLY needs to be worked on. The transitions are really quite strange also.

    NO

  4. Okay, first off, and most importantly. It feels like that the guitars are on a totally different "level" than the rest of the components of this ReMix. It just doesn't fit in for my ears. It sounds weird, and needs to be worked on. I'm not too fond of the synths used - Particulary at about 2:40. They simply don't acquiesce to my ears. They make my head go boom.

    NO

  5. I personally did not enjoy this mix that much. There are mastering problems. This mix also exibits repetitiveness and lack of length. I additionally believe that the reverb placed is too strong - Though, one part of me says that it sets the mood for the ReMix. Work on such things, and I'd say yes.

    NO

  6. I thought that the beginning 30 or so seconds was pretty cool. However, when reverb and a bassline comes in at 0:44, the reverb is way to powerful. I like the synth that comes in at 1:12. At 3:01 is when I really start to appreciate this mix. Before that point, it's the same repetitive stuff over and over. The singing is REALLY beautiful. I really like it. Regardless of the fact that the underlying work isn't as good as it could be, I still appreciate the work put into this (apparently by the author's sister-in-law).

    YES

  7. In regards to Protricity's statement - Since I became a judge, I have not judged this piece. You were added after me, so I'm assuming you haven't judged it either.

    Well, to the ReMix - I personally really like this ReMix. But, that's probably just because I had a huge emotional attachment to the original. For that same reason, I could hate it. However, I simply don't hate it. It's pretty cool stuff. However, the ending is a bit abrupt, but that reason doesn't instantly change my decision. I dig Mr. Lichtman's style.

    YES

  8. Super Mario World 'Super Mario's Sleigh Ride'

    Sorry about not getting to the late Christmas Eve mixes earlier :) I've been with my family and playing with all of my new stuff. Now, to the ReMix - What can I say? It's just some REALLY well done live video game music action :) It's really fun to listen to to. The OneUp Mushrooms cover several Super Mario World tunes here. It's a must download :) Super highly recommended. I respect these guys a whole lot. I've always dreamed of playing live video game music with some buds, and these guys fulfilled my dream, but for themselves. It's all worth it, though!

  9. Okay, first off, it's a shame this ReMix hasn't been posted earlier. It's just too awesome. Really well done arrangement - I love the instrumentation. Having never played Metal Gear Solid (yes, I'm serious - kill me), I don't know how much this variates from the original, but I'm assuming that it's quite a bit different. I mean, Metal Gear Solid just wouldn't have music that would sound like THIS. Maybe it's some ending music or something ^^ Whatever it is, I don't know. Back to the ReMix - Nothing much else to say other than those ARE real guitars, and this mix is just excellent. Nothing bad to say about it other than that it should have been posted earlier :)

    YES
