    In my opinion, this is the best MMX remix. Ever. Not only did he use four of my absolute favorite themes in the game, but he also kept them relitively the same, while molding them into one, complete song that sounds utterly incredible. I sincerely hope we'll see an oncore from him sometime in the future: I would wet myself if I ever heard a remix of the MMX2 opening stage by him ;p

    um dood, there were onlt 3 songs in it, but other than that I TOTALLY AGREE! although it is by far the most professionaly done song, I do sometimes like a slow pace but if I wan't a slow pace i'd go for the origional series, this series, the x series, is a fast pased one!

    make another one lie this pleeeeeeeeeeeeease! :puppyeyes::puppyeyes::puppyeyes:

    I like this remix a lot, I just dislike when the song goes from one tune to the other, too much going on for me. But this guy really captured what the game supposed to have sounded like, rather than messing with the scores too much. That's what I try to look for in these remixes. = ) There was one song that I thought should be in this one though, Flame Mammoth's stage....

    THAT WOULD OWN!

    wht not make a special edition, featuring all 8 songs (the lamer ones like chill pinguins can be shorter) and have it end in the fortress songs and finally the sigma fight!

    DOWNLOAD THIS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    i did. months ago. no need to shout about it.

    but what about the newbies to the site, WOULD SOMEBODY PLEASE! THINK OF THE NEWBIES!

    perfect when I go around in a dataflash run

    WARNING! COMPOSER RAMBLINGS!

    I do appreciate all of the comments from everyone that I have received so far. Rob's opinion stands out the most in my mind for several reasons -- he didn't attack me, didn't proclaimed that the piece was terrible in a whole, just not to his usual liking (though I've seen some positive reviews from him before), and didn't make any derogatory remakes. I do enjoy a lot of positive responses, but even negative ones like Rob's do help to remind us not to get a big head. THAT is was I like to see in people that don't like a particular song, as I know that not everyone is going to like every song that I do.

    Someone suggested that I make some comments on every song in the future in case someone is interested to know how I achieved a certain effect. Well...here goes:

    For those interested, the opening instrument was originally planned to be a piano solo before the pizzacato strings and harp enter, but the piano just didn't seem right. However, the combination of a vibraphone down low for the bass tones with a celeste for the driving force worked a lot better in trying to achieve a childhood feel -- I like the term lullaby that has almost become synonomous with this particular remix.

    I choose a celeste because it's a combination of two instruments -- a glockenspiel and a piano for those of you that don't know what a celeste is. It's basically a very rare (and extremely expensive) instrument that is like an upright piano. However, instead of the hammers hitting strings like a piano, the hammers hit metal bars much akin to a glockenspiel. It's used mainly when a composer wants a glockenspiel sound, but a lot 'fuller.'

    However, it's not a common instrument and should not be used repeatedly just on whim. They aren't mass produced and are built to oder with a very hefty price tag. Very few orchestras have one and if one does have a celeste, that particular orchestra always leases it out to nearby orchestras since they are so rare. Many people may not have heard of one and the two best examples I can give at this point are "Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies" from The Nutcracker Suite by Peter Tchaikovsky and various songs from Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone: The Sountrack by John Williams.

    ok, half of those instruments i've never heard of
