DarkeSword Posted April 17, 2003 Posted April 17, 2003 I frickin' LOVED this when you posted it to WIP. Great funky jazz stuff man. SOLID AS FUCK.™ Quote
endblink Posted April 17, 2003 Posted April 17, 2003 WOW. This one's AWESOME. This site NEEDS to BRING IN DA FUNK! And this delivers. Very fun mix. Download it now. Quote
LewsTherin Posted April 17, 2003 Posted April 17, 2003 A very, very cool remix. I highly suggest that you download it. Quote
Mustin Posted April 17, 2003 Posted April 17, 2003 Wouldn't call this funk, but I will call it freakin' fantastic. I kinda wish the notes stayed more true to the original, but the intrepretations are good. Excellent sample qualities, and this Blues Brothers-esque piece just sounds fabulous. Sounds like the "Runaway Five" got a hold of Mario. Is it me, or does Super Mario Bros. 3 inspire the strangest mixes? Quote
Dhsu Posted April 17, 2003 Posted April 17, 2003 I already reviewed this in WIP. To be brief, this is AmIEvil. 'Nuff said. Quote
Trance-Canada™ Posted April 17, 2003 Posted April 17, 2003 HOLEY SHIT MAN!!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS , that's one kick ass song, the hole thing , I don't think I'll listen to anything else for a long LONG time. I really can't get enough of the extremely sweet sax solo in the middle Quote
Jared Hudson Posted April 17, 2003 Posted April 17, 2003 All I can say is wow. By far the most acoustic sounding production done electronically I've heard on this site. Great job...this one is a keeper. I'm VERY curious on what samples you used. Sounds like you used the Memphis Horns library, but I might be way off. I've got to know what killer samples those were. INCREDIBLE! Great job using them too! Jared Quote
AarowSwift Posted April 17, 2003 Posted April 17, 2003 I'd just like to say that this is one of those songs that's become an instant favorite of mine. One of those mp3's that just sits in Winamp by itself, eternally looping. Quote
Nara_kun Posted April 17, 2003 Posted April 17, 2003 this piece really rocks! like the saxophones.. this song is something i will listen to very often groovy! i love it! Quote
wethamster Posted April 17, 2003 Posted April 17, 2003 ...........Im spechless i ...i...i THIS ROCKS i am evil, please cuntinue with the good work, and i hope you keep this style, of music up. Ive heard everything, i am evil has made, but this has got, to be the best remix yet. Quote
Scotty B. Posted April 17, 2003 Posted April 17, 2003 This is SO James Brown meets Blues Brothers meets Mario. UNH!!! HA!!! SO FUNKEH!!! HA!!! GET DOWN!!! KISS MAHSEFF!!! GOOD GOD!!! ... Yeah. Great job! Quote
Mustin Posted April 17, 2003 Posted April 17, 2003 Jared - I agree. Definitely sounds like The Memphis Horns library. Quote
WolfMaster Posted April 17, 2003 Posted April 17, 2003 This is saaaweeet! I seem to have a habit of posting only when I really really like the song and this be one of them. Awsome work man Quote
Jimmy the Lip Posted April 17, 2003 Posted April 17, 2003 Oh, I'm certainly glad this one got through the Judges so fast. I listened to this when AmIEvil put it up on the forums for public comment, and since I loved it then, I love it now. The rising brass and intro help to build up to the song itself, and when it gets in, there's no stopping it. The saxophone tes this bluesy gem, with brass blares and rolls in the background to add to the effect. An organ comes in at about the :55 mark, giving a little more variety to the piece and keeping it from getting too repetitive - that is, if it could possibly get repetitive. The jazzy riff with the improv sax therein is very snazzy, and during the last forty-five seconds the brass takes backseat to a somewhat eclectic organ solo in the foreground. AmIEvil has always put out quality ReMixes, and jazz mixes are usually some of my favourites, so this lives up to all expectations. "Battle Rocks" has a very realistic, human feel to it and the instrumentation is very well done both in arrangement and the quality of the sound. This one is definitely one that'll be staying on MY playlist for some time to come. Thanks, djpretzel. Thanks AmIEvil. Thanks OCR! Quote
JesustheDarkLord Posted April 17, 2003 Posted April 17, 2003 This is a great song, and IMO is a wonderful change of pace from the other SMB3 songs on the site. Quote
Ryan8bit Posted April 17, 2003 Posted April 17, 2003 This is really great. It's not my favorite kind of music, but I really like it. The only thing is that it could probably have gone on for twice as long and I wouldn't have known it. AmIEvil is hands down one of my favorite artists on this site. How do you do it? Quote
Neimonster Posted April 17, 2003 Posted April 17, 2003 Great song man, you ARE evil On a sidenote: are you working on something, Ryan? Quote
Joe Redifer Posted April 17, 2003 Posted April 17, 2003 Excellent. The bass line kind of reminds me of Virts' old Dr. Mario mix which was/is also excellent, but I like this better. The sound samples are great. Not sure what I can really add to this discussion. Excellent! Quote
Psycrow Posted April 17, 2003 Posted April 17, 2003 The lead gets a wee bit lost behind the rest, so it coulda been a hair or two louder, but other than that, w00t w00t Quote
progressive Posted April 18, 2003 Posted April 18, 2003 I would have preferred a more strict melody, but what the hell you get a 10 for presentation. Great job. Quote
Dart Posted April 18, 2003 Posted April 18, 2003 THXZ buchys now that song will stay in my head for the rest of tonight GOOD JOB Quote
Domukaz Posted April 18, 2003 Posted April 18, 2003 This track rocks. Period. I can picture this being in a crime-caper flick like Ocean's Eleven or The Italian Job, in a montage where the criminals are getting organized and everything. Either that, or it's the perfect night-cruisin' track. Ever since hearing Mustin's awesome Sax skills in Controlled Jazz and The Atomizer, not to mention Cecil's Jinn & Juice, I've had a soft spot for the sax, and this piece is like a bolt outta nowhere. With awesome instruments, a good supporting piano, and a solo in the middle that I adore, this is easily one of my faves. 9/10 for its somewhat too-electronic organ. Quote
Mustin Posted April 18, 2003 Posted April 18, 2003 Thanks for the props, but that's not all me. Most of the sax we record is Nathan Mcleod (Nate Cloud). Quote
