XiaoXiaoNeo Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 A slammin mix! I personally love the voices in there- they add a little something special and nostalgic to those who played the game before. Ah, the memories. But I digress. This mix is great- very upbeat and catchy. Nice breaks in there to keep you hooked throughout. I like how the piano is incorporated- very suave. All the elements of a great trance track. Defiantly going on mah Ipod. Great work! Looking forward to hearing more of your work PrototypeRaptor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Let's rock and roll! A creative reinterpretation of this theme. Had to listen twice to figure out the actual ideas. Cool trance stuff which surely brings that space feel to it. Groovy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker21 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I'm usually not a huge fan of voices and sound clips, but these fit so well that it's hard not to like them. Great Mix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFusion Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Yes! Yes! Yes!!! Another WIP (and active WIP'er) getting posted on the site! And, I must say, it sounds oh so many times more awesome than the version I last heard in the WIP boards. And whilst it may have been a hard road to finally get accepted, I must say, the journey was all for the better, at least, for the fans, haha. Congratulations nonetheless.

WindStrike Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I'm not a trance fan, but I listened in anyways. About a minute listening in, I started loading up AudioSurf, and it was a perfect fit. That's how awesome it is. (The end killed me in Ninja Mono) ... that, and I'm an avid fan of the Corneria theme.

Tenucha Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 This final version is AMAZING! I remember suggesting you throw in the "Do a Barrel Roll" haha Anyways I instantly saved it and listened it it 3 times already! Great finale version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ListerineStrips Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I listen to almost every new remix posted on this site; some simply grab my attention and never let go. I'm happy to report that this is one of them. High energy, bumpin beat, this song rocks! Hope to hear much more soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dafydd Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 About time! Also nice to see some of this type of music get passed by the panel, even though I didn't think the mix was all too interesting myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triad Orion Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Gonna have to agree with the judges that the voice samples feel largely out of place after the initial conversation. I'm not really digging the trance style, either. I'm impressed in that Raptor's been able to keep what is a short sample tune fresh for six minutes, though. The trance itself is repetitive sounding, but clearly the ideas within different sections of the song are very different and I salute him for that. But even with that appreciation, this song never really grabbed me. It really lacked a punch, though it still had energy, if that makes sense. I guess what I'm trying to get at was there wasn't a hook, and beyond that I don't really feel as though it stuck out too much. Again, I do really like the variation throughout the song in terms of ideas, but the execution just didn't do too much for me. Despite that, it's a great effort and I do hope to see more from Raptor.

audio fidelity Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 man i dig this track - production is clean and the energy great and moves along from each transition masterfully. but i'm not crazy about the orchestral stuff at the end. it kinda brings the mix down a bit, but it's not that distracting. great stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incronaut Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Nice production, I'm enjoying this a lot. Going on my study playlist. do you dance hardcore while you study? cause this song has too much energy for me to concentrate haha but then again maybe thats how you roll, (LOL GET IT?!) sorry, but yeah, i love this mix, any trance song always give me the implication that its gonna be "simple" but once again i was proven wrong with this song. GREAT stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happywampa Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I enjoy this mix immensely. In fact, this mix made me get off the fence and sign up for the forums just so I could express how much I enjoy it. Trance as a genre does get knocked for a seeming lack of creativity/repetitiveness (to which I reply, have you listened to hip-hop, ever?), but this mix has variety/creativity in spades. There's an attention to detail, lots of layering/texturing, and importantly, a sense of forward motion. It seems that people feel the need to apologize for posting/creating a trance mix... this mix needs no apology whatsoever. On an unrelated note... previous remix filenames from this game were titled Starfox, whereas this one is Star Fox. So this mix is out of position in my OCR music directory (or the other mixes are incorrect; either way, could that be fixed at some point?). I can rename the file, but I wanted to let someone know so others would be able to find the remix if they sort their playlists by filename Anyway, thanks PrototypeRaptor. Look forward to hearing more of your work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eino Keskitalo Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I find this track delightful, and the beginning dialog is a key part of that. I got a huge grin on my face on the first listen, couldn't help it at all. Good work! --Eino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Wolf Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Trance mix of the year, flat out. I'm listening to it for the first time right now and it will be repeated several more. Great use of soundscapes, there's a layering effect to this mix that gives it a very expansive feeling, specifically the synth pad always in the background. It manages to be powerful and loud without ever being overpowering and obnoxious. Instruments are layered in and faded naturally, smoothly, and beautifully. Also a surprising amount of varation and change for a trance mix. I appreciate that you didn't rest on your laurels and follow the exact same vector through the whole mix. I love the voices at the beginning. I think what surprises me most is that you just took the theme from a game that I've always thought was rather stupid (come on, it's furries in space) and made it actually inspiring. I wanna go kick ass when I hear this. Perhaps the best compliment I can give you is that if I hadn't known it was you, I would've said without a doubt this was some of Beatdrop's work. Nice work.

LuckyXIII Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 With each successive listen of this track, it just becomes more and more hardcore for me. As utterly cheesy as the opening lines are, the intro gets me really pumped up. Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Penwald Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 First off, nice intro. I like the voice samples used in the beginning of the song. Yes, it's cheesy, but it's also fun. However, I'm not really fond of the "Do a barrel roll" used throughout the mix, simply because I don't like how the "barrel roll" part of it sounds. Other than that, there's no real issues here. Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjChexxMixx Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 This is one of the best starfox remixes ive heard in a long time and rather enjoyed it. while i listened to it had flashbacks of playing Star Fox and Star Fox 64. Trance done right check it out!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uranai Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I love this remix. Great feeling, it gets me hyper. I too love the intro voices, really nice touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
