Rucianu Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Very nice, I like the sax. I understand what you're saying about the surf/rock genre, you've captured quite a bit of that feel in this song. It stops a little short (though I can't put my finger on what's missing), but congrats on 1000, and this is a very worthy remix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finalfunk Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 I'm going to have to agree with endblink here. When I first started listening to the mix, I thought something had gone wrong with the speakers due to the graininess which seemed uncharacteristic. If it was intended to be that way, I'm not a fan. Until reading some reviews, I had assumed it might have been a technical error somewhere along the line. The instrumentation was great, but the production see,ed a touch slumped (not like DJP at all). This is one of only 4 mixes done by DJP that I haven't kept.

Dinobot 2 Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 I was just thinking how cool it might have been to combine both Booster themes together. The theme McVaffe remixed "BukkisTango". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simoom Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 i hate saxes, so my opinion on this song is pretty much moot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustin Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 How can you hate a saxophone? You're an idiot. As for the piece, it's pretty nice. The synth sax holds up pretty well. Really missed the whammy bar on the guitar parts. And why Tarintino? Why not The Revels or Dick Dale and the Deltones? Ah, Pretzel. Sometimes forgetting to give credit where credit is due. Definitely one of the better djpretzel remixes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djpretzel Posted July 10, 2003 Author Share Posted July 10, 2003 And why Tarintino? Why not The Revels or Dick Dale and the Deltones? This is true - Tarantino might deserve some credit for popularizing surf music, but either of those references would have been more directly and legitimately crediting the genre. I did consider that. I guess my rationale was more that I was specifically picturing the intro to Pulp Fiction in my mind when I was planning the mix, so it was the inspiration instead of the most appropriate mix title to denote homage to the genre.

endblink Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 How can you hate a saxophone? You're an idiot.Yes. God forbid anyone has an opinion different from "The Great Mustin". Hey, I thought flaming was looked down upon in the ReViews section. And why Tarintino? Why not The Revels or Dick Dale and the Deltones?Ah, Pretzel. Sometimes forgetting to give credit where credit is due. Ironically, this coming from the guy who made a HUGE stink when someone suggested a "ReName the ReMixes" game, stating that the title of the ReMixes are personal and shouldn't come under scrutiny (more or less). Hmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Heath Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Great stuff, pretzel. My only complaint is that now my Booster song won't be near as appreciated... :: sniff:: ... The sax is suprisingly realistic. You don't hear many good synth saxes. Or at least I don't. The guitar is pretty good, too. Definitely one of the best dj pretzel mixes. Good job.

Karth Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 I finally snapped and joined the board. I love this site! But back on topic, I love this remix! DjPretzel has, in my opinion, done an excellent job on this remix. It's unique when compared to his other works. It sort of reminds me of this certain song from Rurouni Kenshin, in the beginning, right when the sax joins in as a main instrument. The surf-ish theme is pulled off well. You made a good choice when picking the remix to use, too. I've never thought of Buuki as the srufing type, but now that a picture it, it does look kind of hilarious. The jazzy deep bass guitar in the back compliments the theme well. The song is almost distorted in it's loudness, unless it's just this computer, but I kind of like it. It gives you the impression that someone was at a summer beach concert or something, and then recorded one of the songs and brought it home to shoi his friends. I really like that main guitar, and the organ in the beginning is so beach-esue. Kinda reminds me of the Beach Boys, a little... You done good, DjPretzel. I didn't like this quite as much as Pachelbel's Ganon, but that's okay, since it's a different style of music. Just because I don't favor it quite as well as another, it doesn't make it less good. You're my hero, Pretzel. now, I'm off to my keyboard, to work on that song, and try to turn it into some pitiful excuse for a remix! And while it may be pitiful, you have inspired me to do my best!

foxyshadis Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 I flipped this on and wanted to start rockin' out right away. Nothing like compressed dynamics to serve up that grainy old sound. A few pops and crackles and you'd have a beaten up old beach party album, all ready for the listen. I like it even more after the minute mark, when it just wanders off into the guitar & organ riffin'. Great job. I want this as boss music, damn it.

damathacus Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 I wish I could say something insightful, or something at least worthy of this remix. But lacking the words, musical knowledge and additionally the fact that nearly everything has been said, I'll just give my thumbs up. It's quite well done, one of my favourites.

z38stinger Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 WOOOO! This song is kickass, djp! It instills in one a sense of effervescence! The kind of bubbly bliss one can only have gotten by listening to old school tunes from the golden age of the '60s. Good stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamikaze Noodle Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 I just listened to "Comanche" by Peter Green from The Pulp Fiction album and I expected at any moment for the sax to sudddenly break into the Booster song. You did a damn fine job on this song Pretzel, and now that I have become more acquainted with the source material I have even more appreciation for this song.

blueblood Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 ah, my first time posting...almost forgot i had an account here. amazing remix, it doesn't sway far from the original, but lacks no creativity nontheless. love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcovsleon20 Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 I haven't downloaded many remixes but out of the ones I HAve downloaded, this is my favorite one of all. Gives me the idea of what music Booster would play if he owned a casino. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoeless joe Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 All the fun of Pulp Fiction in Mario RPG, minus having Toad's brains being accidently splattered on a bumpy carride by Travolta! Great stuff man, keep it up!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debeerguy007 Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Genius. Pure genius. And it's loud! Tarantino would be proud. I await you next remix with great anticipation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash the Stampede Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 This DOES sound like Pulp Fiction-eske music!! Those surfer, beach style tunes that helped make that extremely sporadic movie SO FUCKING GREAT!!! Booster was cool as hell too, + Pulp Fiction = !!!! Kudos pretzel!! Keep up the great work!!!

Riku Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I first heard this on ormgas, and immediately I thought 'wtf, y teh fuxxor r tehy playing teh ghey moozak?' but then I immediately realized 'OMG tihs is teh Pulp Fiction!' and I realized I had to make another CD so soon after my last one. =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordex Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 This sounds so deep and Loud! I love the style, I love the sound, like the above guy said, this should be a crime! The intro gives a good first impression and it only gets better, as the 1000th remix, it only leaves OC with a better impression! Great Stuff!!

Tex Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 This is the Booster´s Tower Remix. I liked this music when I played Super Mario RPG. It appeared the Booster playing with a train. This remix is great, saxophone was what more it attracted me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
