Protricity Posted March 22, 2003 Posted March 22, 2003 The song is rather simple, but it has a great feel to it. I'll give this a YES unless the original is the same or whatever, (YA KNOW, all the usual.)
analoq Posted March 22, 2003 Author Posted March 22, 2003 I was thinking 'no' when I first listened to this, because the instrumentation is a bit lacking, no percussion except for that bell thing for instance, and the mastering is ungood, it's too quiet, even for an orchestral piece and could use some more energy in the higher frequencies. But after listening to the original, it's clear a lot of work was put into this arrangement. I feel it is passable. yes
Digital Coma Posted March 25, 2003 Posted March 25, 2003 I like what was done here. The original's abrasive upper-register synth-organs have been replaced with much more aurally pleasing, serene instrumentation. I agree that the mastering leaves much to be desired, but otherwise the product clearly reflects labor in the arrangement department. The haunting flute sometimes sounds out of key when it hits the high notes, but the sum of the means is pleasingly acceptable. YES
DarkCecil13 Posted March 25, 2003 Posted March 25, 2003 Wow. This arrangement is excellent. Like the others have said thus far, the mastering job isn't the best that it could be. Other than that, this is definitely OCR material. YES
