Platonist Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 this is very nice! i usually don't like metal styles. but when it comes to vgmixes it just doesn't seem to bother me at all .. which is odd.. anyway, great arrangement of a kick ass source my only problem here is that a few drum transitions are a bit out of step. but it doesn't really bother me that much a very good job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanchou Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 much enjoyed. Glad I listened... I was just hoping for the reverse piano that it would keep going all the way into those main echoing triplets before ending... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devyn Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 The best Kraid remix, hands down. It's one thing to make a nice-sounding remix, but it's another thing to surprise and impress a listener who has heard the theme 1,000 times before.

Robotaki Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Arrangement-wise this is really cool. You've got excellent control of contrasts in terms of dynamics and interpretation of the theme. Although the transition was a little sudden on the first listen through, the section starting at 1:43 was kickass. Nice job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moguta Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 As mentioned in the writeup, this track is off of Arm Cannon's album Leg Vacuum. I have to say, this is the most creative rock/metal arrangement of Kraid I have yet to hear. How it seamlessly switches modes and instruments, like sliding right from a thrashin' synth & guitar combo into sublime piano, is just great to hear in action. Also, the names on Leg Vacuum are simply hilarious. If you think Cranial Syphon by itself is amusing, just wait until you see it and Super Cranial Syphon on the same CD. These guys have a great sense of humor. ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnappleMan Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 The awesomeness of this song keeps my anus from performing properly, hence I shat. Multiple times over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafydd Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Haha, awesome! I would have liked the drums to play on the toms a little more, and the snare sounded a little weak for my taste, but the arrangement is really nice and so is the performance. The outro is wonderful.

OceansAndrew Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Killer work; super varied and great use of sounds. The texture is always changing, but cohesive enough that the listener doesn't get lost. Even more props for making me like a Metroid song, especially one that I recognize and previously was 'meh' with. I love how the basses at the beginning sound so agressive, and the clean guitar playing throughout. Very deft touch, and tasteful phrasing as well. Piano used throughout was great, as were the synths, and the rock was sufficiently heavy. The reverse playing at the end was a great surprise, and overall it's pretty hard to pick nits on this one. I was rockin. Awesome work gentlemen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumUltimA Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 So this is basically an all-around awesome piece of work--from the hyper aggressive string bass in the beginning, to the facemelting guitar solo. The source is also incredibly juicy. The only thing I didn't like on first listen. So I listened again. And again. Like many things I find off-putting at first, I consider this ending to be one of the best endings on the site. wowowowowowow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlinicorpus Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 The ending does seem to be a bit out of place and tacked on. However, it makes up for it with sheer awesomeness. I've probably played the last 30 seconds twenty times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godhand_Soup Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 ARMCANNON FCUK YEAH If I had money to spend on CD's I'd eat up their shit so fast...great mix btw. The ending is top tier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Penwald Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Great mix of metal and piano. The little breakdown from 3:36 on is particulary awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lasercat I Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Nice addition to the site! It's very reminiscent of Stemage's Metroid Metal. Anyways, I love it (especially the section with the concert snare)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogo8bit Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Armcannon is one of the best VGM bands ever. Great mixin of the songs, great performance on keybord, guitars, bass, drums, everythin. GREAT band! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proven Paradox Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 This sounds to me like two excellent pieces that fell down the stairs at the same time and were so mixed up when they finally landed that no one could untangle them. I think in this case, it's less than the sum of its parts. It's a heavy metal mix entangled with a mellow orchestral/piano driven arrangement mixed in, and they clash with each other. The transitions are jarring and the inconsistent mood is not endearing to me. Genre mixing can be done well, but I think this one misses the mark. That said, it's not -bad-. It would've been better as two (maybe three even) more cohesive tracks, but the individual components here done incredibly well. This one's going on my playlist, and I look forward to more. I just wish it weren't the mash-up it is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
