djpretzel Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix. Quote
sgx Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 Pretty fresh and original. The second half was my favorite as I thought the first half was kinda lacking some flow and in my opinion, the volume cut effects were somewhat exorbitant. But the rest of the stuff in here is great. You messed with pretty much every element of the original a little bit and made it something very interesting to listen to. Keep up the good stuff! Quote
Wombatforhire Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 I actually liked all the sound manipulation in this piece...as I rule I've never really cared for the kung fu "ah!" or whatever you want to call it...and that sometimes rubs me the wrong way in this piece...but what do I know? I'm just a consumer not a remixer... Other than that, I'd have to say that I really like it, it has some really good energy! Good stuff! Quote
skulkrusha Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 Sounds a little too cluttered for my liking. Something about the bass bothers me, too. I guess I've got a sensitive ear, though. Timing seems illogical in places. There's some clashes with notes at the end, something I've noticed Sir Nuts does fairly frequently in many songs I've heard from him. The percussion and breaks keep it interesting, but overall, there's a tad too many issues within the song that bring it down. Alright overall, but it could have done with some patching up before the final submission. Quote
Kamikaze Noodle Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 It's 7:45 AM Eastern time and there're already 4 posts? Wow we have some serious insomniacs here. Anyways, I like how energetic this remix is. Sometimes though, the percussion which should be the base of the song goes off and gives the song a strangely disconnected feel. That only happens a few ties though, and overall this is pretty good. Quote
Wombatforhire Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 It's 7:45 AM Eastern time and there're already 4 posts? Wow we have some serious insomniacs here. Yo...check the location! It may be 7:45 Eastern...but what time is it in Japan? Quote
Gman Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 First of all CONGRATS S|R NUTS! High energy remix going on in here. Samples not too bad, easy to notice its Fruity loops for some reason. Cauple of wrong(ish) notes. And yea, like the other guy said, repetitive without being repetitve....it made sens. Well, nothing else I can say but..its a very fun remix and it deserves to be on OC. -Gman. Quote
Atomic Dog Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 Ehh.... Aesthetically, I don't like those little "uh!"s that are infused in the song. I really like the take on the melody, but I think skull got it right when he said "too cluttered". In the creative effort, the feel of the piece is lost. Not a keeper, by any means. Sorry. Quote
DarkeSword Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 I always enjoy Nuts' stuff. It always sounds so tricked out. This is definately not a piece to have on in the background though; it requires the full attention of the listener. Very good stuff. Ah yes...another IronMix on OCR, so considering this was done in a week, very hot stuff. Great job. Quote
Sir_NutS Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 heh, thanks for the comments. I must admit that this is not my best work, but it's still good. And remember, this was done in a week for IMC #12. SO I worked on it only 5 or 6 hours. heh, but anyways, expect more mixes from me posted in ocr, and more ironmixes too!! Quote
AgentRdy Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 This mix was a very interesting twist to the original. Very nicely done. It sounds a lot more lively than the other Metropolis theme, more like the sound of a busy, active city. At times, though, I think it dulls some of the original aspects that used to stick out in my head while I played the game; it very nearly makes me feel as though I am listening to a different song. But still, nice job. Quote
DjKwiwwin Posted April 16, 2003 Posted April 16, 2003 Is it just me or is this one of the better of the recent submissions? Cause this is great. Nice, WONDERFUL EVEN! i miust say, Kudos to you S|r NutS!! Quote
OverCoat Posted April 16, 2003 Posted April 16, 2003 I'm going to be completely honest. This sucks. I'll elaborate. The sounds used were HIGHLY annoying, the arranging was HIGHLY repetitive, and it was HIGHLY cluttered. Sorry, but in my opinion, I don't see why this was posted. Quote
Outworlder Posted April 16, 2003 Posted April 16, 2003 I wouldn't say this exactly sucks, it is probably the worst song I've heard in the main OCRemix library in quite a while. The sounds are indeed *really* annoying. At least I did learn from this that you can use bad instruments or a repetitive melody and still make a good mix... as long as you don't put the two together.

DJNikManic Posted April 16, 2003 Posted April 16, 2003 I liked this song, the drums are really cool and fast, radically groovy in my opinion. I liked the bass, i liked the crazy wacky panning effects, it just seemed cool to hear so many effects all in on song. Great job. Quote
Sir_NutS Posted April 16, 2003 Posted April 16, 2003 Heh, I guess it's a love it or hate it mix lol. I'm just glad that some people liked it. Even if it were just one person, I still would be happy just knowing that he really enjoyed something made by me . Quote
Ruth Loose Posted April 16, 2003 Posted April 16, 2003 Not one to be able comment professionally on the loops and theory behind this I do say that it sounds all the better after multiple listenings. It grows on you and that is the kinda music that is so fun. Quote
Mustin Posted April 16, 2003 Posted April 16, 2003 Hey, I really like the idea here. Cool starts and stops. But damn - the samples are bad. Sounds like it's all preset sounds or something. Gotta do better on the samples/sounds. Otherwise, cool arrangement. Never would have thought to do this song. Quote
*MP*Evil_Cartman Posted April 17, 2003 Posted April 17, 2003 It's like SEGA is copying mario all the way... "Sonic 2 Dirty Mix OC Remix"... I LIKE IT!!! Quote
Tranced Posted April 18, 2003 Posted April 18, 2003 I really enjoy this mix. The synth's and drums are really satisfying and just have a lot of energy. The beat is very well done and I think that Sir Nuts did a good job with creating a fun song. Definitely one of my favorites from the site. I have to admit I'm surprised that some people are saying they think it isn't even good enough to be posted Quote
PlatformerMastah Posted April 19, 2003 Posted April 19, 2003 It's very nice to finally hear some Metropolis Zone coverage. Great stuff here. Quote
DJ Tempora Posted June 22, 2003 Posted June 22, 2003 damn this is good. you listen to it a few times and it gets better... pretty catchy. i dunno, maybe its just partly the nostalgia factor, but nice representation of the Metropolis music- good work. Quote
404NotFound Posted June 27, 2003 Posted June 27, 2003 Excellent remix! One of my favorites to date. Catchy tune, nice effects, sufficient variety with what is given to work with. Be sure to listen with headphones! As it makes the dropouts and fades much more pronounced and trippy. If this wasn't obviously a game remix it would be pretty good to play at a rave or some such party. Quote
01seven Posted June 28, 2003 Posted June 28, 2003 Ehh.... Aesthetically, I don't like those little "uh!"s that are infused in the song. . I second that, but the rest is awesome. I guess Im in the "love it" side of the arguement for this song. Seriously I cant think of anything wrong about this piece except the "uh" parts... Quote
Eccles Posted July 4, 2003 Posted July 4, 2003 owww.... Now its good to begin with...then the main melody synths come in. They irritate me immensley. The whole thing sounds off beat when the (quite frankly, overused and irritating) "uh" sounds come in...I know it isnt, but they give that imperssion. The thing pans left to right frantically...occasionally pulled off well but for the most of the time it just makes it worse. The whole thing sounds hugely cluttered and repetetive... ¿Honestly pretz, what is this even doing here? Quote
