djpretzel Posted March 12, 2003 Posted March 12, 2003 Not that I actually think this getting accept and/or posted by Christmas, but, tis the season, and it's the thought that counts, so... Live sleighbells! (I recorded them myself)
Digital Coma Posted March 13, 2003 Posted March 13, 2003 Not too much of a remake, as the instrumentation (namely, the guitar and flute) follows the original quite similarly, albeit with a toned down tempo. The sleigh bells lead off very predictably, and soon becomes overkill with the loop droning on throughout most of the mix. The cut at 1:41 is too abrupt, bringing the entry of strings that create a "churchy" touch, but are too prominently awkward along with the bells. The choiral pads flow nicely in the background, but could have been more noticeable. It'd be cool if you could liven this up with juxtaposing leads and maybe even a solo, because the product just feels boring, although I suppose you could say that's partly due to a present lack of holiday cheer. I'd actually be curious to hear this without the sleigh bells and as a deliberately ambient / mellow piece. But for now: NO
Beatdrop Posted March 17, 2003 Posted March 17, 2003 It's about... *checks watch* 3 months late, but that isn't a reason to reject a song. The sleighbells really shouldn't go on throughout the ENTIRE song, although they are the only percussion in there. The guitar sounds like crapola, and I think it's a default FL sample (perhaps I'm wrong), but it's not bad enough that I'd say "NO" based on that alone. All in all, this song is pretty boring. The flute and choral pads, like Coma said, are nice, but I found myself yawning a whole lot while listening to this. The ending was nice... unoriginal, but nice. Mmmmmmmmm.... I'm gonna have to go with NO
DarkCecil13 Posted March 25, 2003 Posted March 25, 2003 I thought I already voted no on this one... Well, either way, this ReMix isn't really quite exciting at all. Almost to the point of inducing yawns. That, and the samples just don't sound cool together (in only so many words). Gonna have to say what I thought I had already said... NO
Protricity Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 And a 4th and final NO for sgtrama due to simplicity and repetitiveness. Now rama, DIE plz, kthx^^ EDIT: Alright, sorry for any who misunderstood. No, I am not being biased against rama, hes a friend. Its just that... if he is gonna die, I think he should stay dead .
