Palpable Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Excellent drums. I think that element of this song is basically perfect. The supporting synths and FX help fill out the picture nicely. I sort of wish the strings sounded fuller but I can understand why you toned them down. Great song, dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sephfire Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I'd say this is your best work yet, but I've already heard what you're doing next, so I can't really it say it, can I? All the same, awesome job on this. The percussion and FX are spot-on Gregson-Williams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big giant circles Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 quite possibly the worst mix to date on the site. brian, i want your babies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I gotta agree, those drums are amazing. Incredibly crisp and well balanced. The synths are great too, and things ebb and flow very well. Melodically there isn't a ton going on, but this track has always been about the textures, and they are completely captivating. Nothing but props from me.

Sole Signal Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Oops, thought I commented on this already. Yeah, the drumwork is superb. OA was right on about the textures too, lush and spacious. Great job, sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonAvenger Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I agree with everything said, Tweek did a great job with this, and there are great effects done to the piece. I'm not crazy about the source tune, and it carries into the mix, unfortunately. It's just not enjoyable to listen to, even with all the cool stuff Tweek's done to it. I can appreaciate the work he did, but it's not a keeper for me. It will, however, go on my OCHalloween Mixtape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Downunder Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Drums are absolutely diabolical , fits the tone and source tune really well. My hat goes off to you, good sir. (Tips hat) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PriZm Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I love mixes like that with limited source material. Anybody else notice that the theme at 0:45 is the same theme as the one in Symphony X's album V : The Mythology Suite. Sweet stuff. The ambiance here is definitely heavy and tense. The dirty synths contrasts well with the cleaner drum sounds to create a thick texture. I love the production on this one. The only gripe I have with this mix is that the song seems to lack direction. The different parts could pretty much be used interchangeably. But, I guess that was the artist's intention and with such great sounds and ideas, that is entirely forgivable. good work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Another Tweek mix with few reviews! He's not getting the love here . So this is pretty nice - it adds an industrial-like quality to give the song an ominous yet rolling atmosphere, like as if one was just casually walking through one of those sectors in Midgar, or maybe even a mako reactor.

Emunator Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Love the growling synth in the opening, that sounds really cool on headphones The drum loop is appropriate and sounds pretty good in my opinion, it makes the song sound like something straight out of Metal Gear Solid. That said, I can't help but wonder what it might have sounded like if it utilized heavier, more dramatic percussion instead. Very underrated effort though, this one took a while to grow on me but currently I happen to like it a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexy Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 It's a strange source to go for due to its minimalism and lack of tempo, but to take it in a direction akin to the Metal Gear Solid score is definitely one to go for and still ultimately take the darkness of the source. It even worked well for the most part with the firm varied percussion and the transition of the minimalist pad/string work of the original to full bodied pads here. Affectively, what was taken of the source managed to work out into something significantly more contemporary while still being atmospheric, so major props on handling that. Even the minor synth elements had some strong controller work done to it to really give some life and associate ourselves with Tweek as a musician, and all the little details elsewhere with the rhythm synths have done much to keep adding some substance. For me, it's nice and chill; not much to fault concerning the stylistic direction, and you've managed to do well with handling one difficult source to arrange. Hopefully we'd get to see more of you come 2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
