(I really should post more...)
Anyways. I'm really loving this remix. A lot. Admittedly, when I see Ice Cap Zone mixes I tend to think "Oh no, not another Ice Cap Mix. I bet it's a trance mix too..." And I thought that when I saw this too, but I decided to give it a listen just because Ice Cap is still an amazing piece of music.
I'm glad I did. This remix is just great. I've been hooked on it ever since I listened the first time. Sure, it is a bit of a trance mix, but it's something different. I can't exactly explain it but it brings something different to the table.
I'm not too much of a technical music person, so I don't know how much helpful criticism I can give for you...
The original sections add a nice touch of flair and gives the remix it's own style and life. The classic underlying bass of the Ice Cap theme is nice here too, funky and cool. If I could say anything on what you might change up is the drums, but to me it's not too major of a deal. They do get a little repetitive, but you really have to be paying a great deal of attention to it to notice.
I would love to see this posted, it's top notch stuff.
