Martin Penwald Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Gerudo Valley really does lend itself very well to this latin-kind of remix; the mexican trumpet sounds great. Can't say I care that much about the whole urbanism-thing, though. Just not my style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonAvenger Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 The opening is deceptive, in a good way. LOVE the brass in here. Great use of it. Great style for this mix, it makes a wonderful transition. Everything fits together very well, very finesse. I like the almost 'Final Fantasy Prelude' feel at 2:13. The adaption of the melody is really good there. The ending is a bit ubrupt, but overall nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwordBreaker Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Reviewing late. Love this remix. The Spanish influences from the original are intact...but you've managed to successfully combine that with some hip-hop and Latin stuff. Works really well. I especially love that beat breakdown in the middle of the track. Makes you wanna dance, you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dweber5 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Very good, has a nice beat. Kinda tiring that almost all OOT remixes have been of this tune. Would be nice to hear something new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasfen Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Awesome guitar work, great rhythm and breaks, totally hot in its entirety. This one was on repeat for quite a while after I downloaded it. Ay caramba! Las mamacitas estan enamoradas de Diggi Dis! Que suerte para el! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Imho, this is better than the original. This is one of my favorite mixes; it just takes an already cool song and makes it better. This is a definite must download. I would love to go to this valley Me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmazinJason Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I enjoyed this remix, the subtle piano opening meshes well with the brass in the beginning, and even though I'm not that big a fan of hip-hop the beat was quite fascinating. My favorite part would have to be the long bridge near the middle of the track, it's inspiring when remixers place long segments of music drawn from themselves rather than from the game. I hate to be such a sheep here but the ending is... ookkaaayyy, when it cuts out it sounds kinda cool, but I think having a more solid ending would have been nice. Either way, great job, excellent remix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceansAndrew Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Dios mio, this remix is pwning, great beats, nice guitars and brass, and a lot of cool arrangement ideas help this classic source track. Really the only weakness in this is the lead guitar sample, and that abrupt ending. Awesome work, esse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emunator Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 This mix starts out as one big fake-out after another, first with the piano and then the Latin section, but once you get the hip-hop beats going this really becomes the defining Gerudo Valley mix on OCR, in my opinion. Props for pulling off the claps in a way that doesn't annoy me, that seems to be a hard thing to do I'm a huge fan of all your work, Diggi Dis, but this one feels like one of the most polished and overall quality works you've put out in a while! Highly recommended, don't let the genres turn you off if you happen to not be a fan of Latin or Hip-Hop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCorty Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 For most of the song, the spanish guitar bored me very much. Which sucks, because I was really looking forward to it. It picked up towards the end, though! That jumping bass synth helped it along somehow, with the way they play off each other. The great thing about this track was the rest of the stuff. And I mean ALL the other stuff, which included many sounds that usually feel...over-relied upon: claps, string stabs, hip-hop beats. But the thing is, the ethnic elements that were added to them kept them all daisy-fresh. And it goes the other way around, too! For example, the "Kill Bill" trumpets felt a little cheesy, but once the harp started playing quietly in the background: all was good. Except the spanish guitar lead, still. Perhaps the problem was sample quality, as OA mentioned, or maybe (my first guess) it needed some other sounds to play off of it more. From where it came in until towards the end, it felt quite isolated as the lead with all the other elements fading to waaaay in the background for a while. The sheer arrangement: was awesome. Yet a lot of it went unnoticed the first time I listened to it. Like, the string stabs smooth out later in the song, letting stuff relax a bit as it was getting uptight somehow. In any case, mamacitas should stay in the valley and party ALL NIGHT (as stuff staying in "my valley" and "partying ALL NIGHT" would have a totally different meaning o__o). Anyway, it'd be an awesome party: the kind with the hip-hop dance floor where individuals show their moves, awesome drinks and other flavors, and EVERYBODY WEARS HATS...Don't ask me why.

GSO Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I'm not usually a hip hop person, but hip hop + Gerudo Valley= I friggin love this track! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Doom Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Yeah, this song rocks pretty much, that's true. Dearly beloved "Gerudo Valley" mixed with flavours of jazz, hip-hop and even Spanish Flamenco - this just has to become one of OCR classics. Especially love the moment @ 2:13. Stellar work from DD as usual! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
