OceansAndrew Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 This was my second favorite track on the MAG DoD, and hearing it with all the homies from there was really cool. Here's a snippet from my quick review from back then: I really like the "ending credits" feel this has, and some really nice guitarwork. The slides aresubtle but add a lot, and the lead tone is great. Breakdown is fantastic and the section afterwards leading to the solo is excellent. Solo is tasteful, though a few note choices seem strange to me, but otherwise great work. Production is solid and the length is perfect. One of my favorites. To expand on this a bit, there are some amazing additional sections added, specifically the ultra-clean breakdown section. I was seriously surprisd when I first heard it, and it fits so well, it's almost like it was originally written for the song and omitted for the game version. Ending is great as well. Fantastic work and one of the best of '08 so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnappleMan Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 A great track overall. Very balanced and even sounding in terms of mixing, and the arrangement is smooth and coherent. Just an all around great song to listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richter Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Damn, another insanely good song. You're nuts, sir. And you always pick the best songs to remix. We must have had the same childhood or something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Reminds me of Sonic Adventure... I think thats a good thing? Gotta love these feel good rock things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anosou Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Definitely an anthem! While the sound of the drums is too "big" and reverbed for my taste, I like the overall mixing. The guitar playing is sweet and the arrangement is good. I love when the acoustic guitar enters. I must say though, I'm not a fan of the synth, the way it sounds is a bit too cheesy. The ending on the other hand is tops, I especially dig the small bass break. Overall good song. Go get it if you want som solid rawk!

Devyn Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Great track. I'm still confused as to how it beat Virt's Splatterhouse rendition on DoD, but it's an awesome tribute to an awesome track. The guitar tone is perfect for the song, and there's some sweet soloing. The choice of keyboard/synths or whatever the hell was used brings the happy nostalgic feeling of the source tune. The only problem I have is that there are a few notes out of scale, mostly on the fast guitar runs. Most people won't even notice this.

Sole Signal Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 One of my favorites sources ever, and this mix does it justice. Great track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixto Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Me gusta. Me gusta mucho! Would be great to see more of Norg hanging around the chat but...less talk of weird foods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 This is exactly what this song needed. Freakin' great man. I love the break down at 1:45. MORE PLEASE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
progressive Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Who knew that 18 years later Ducktales would be a remixers' favorite? The guitar here is fantastically done and very organic. The second half of the song seems to meander a bit, but wraps up in a nice nod to the cartoon. Overall, great, great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwordBreaker Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Excellent work, norg. Loved this track ever since I listened to it in DoD and it deserves first place in my view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueMage Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 norg seems to have a talent for excellent guitar work. Also quite good at mixing source tunes without developing medleyitis. Ever heard Black Ice? I know I hear the S3K Robotnik theme mixed in seemlessly, just as here I can hear the Moon theme mixed with others in a way that makes their joining sound natural. Another 5-star track for the mp3 player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Wolf Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Wow, this is like the end credits to some epic 1980's "Badass teen in ripped up jeans makes good, kills bad guys, and generally kicks epic ass" movies. Hot, steamy, distributed guitar that is awesome, electric piano that smells nice... and it's Ducktales. WIN. I'm gonna go watch me some DuckTales now, in fact. DVD FTW.

Martin Penwald Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 A classic source, and some good ol' rock. This is as oldschool as OCR comes these days, and I like it. Good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KogeJoe Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 This is a cute little re-mix... think the title is kind of lame. Harden the duck up? I mean, my duck's hard. Is yours? Nice theme and variations. I thought the ditty at the end was cute! I mean, it appears in the game when you die, but also whenever you were watching Ducktales, it would play whenever the show would cut to a commercial break. Great start, middle and finish. Brought back memories of me playing my NES and watching Ducktales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucentas Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 This is some simply genius guitar work, amazing job. I love to air guitar to this when nobody's looking. Don't tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
