chumble spuzz Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Way to go, Rozovian! I love Red Canyon, and I love your ReMix of Red Canyon. Makes me want to play GX again. I'm a bit of a purist when it comes to VG arrangements, so my only reccommendation after 1.5 listens would be to start out closer to the source and then deviate/expand later on like you did anyway, but other than that, this is awesome. Your debut ReMix is better than mine. ...Is that a Cheetah Men quote in there at 3:02? Awesome. Quote
MegamanZeroX Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Fantastic way of keeping a simple rhythm all the way till the end with the eggshaker. Bassline was solid as well. Also, wonderful job blending in the different parts of the mix, using fade-outs, then bringing back sharp. Good song choice for a debut. Looking forward to your next mix. Quote
restraunt_style Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Maybe I'm hallucinating, but to me this mix just felt straight up fresh. I've downloaded plenty of mixes, back in 2004 I downloaded all the mixes on the site and I've kept up with downloading new mixes since then, and I've listened to most of them plenty of times whilst playing video games or writing e-mails or mowing the lawn or what not, and all I can say is that this mix feels fresh. I'm sure someone could come up with a comparison and dissect it's pieces and tell me that it isn't quite fresh, but screw that. I say I think it feels fresh. Fresh and fragrant... errr... I mean sweet. It kicks though, that's what I'm trying to say. Excellent job. Quote
UchihaVilu Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Good job Rozovian. I've been waiting for something new for awhile - this will give me some definite ear secks pleasure to spam buttons on some newb Alliance with my Deathknight. Keep up the good work, hope to hear more from you, <3. -- I'm not really musically inclined to give a proper review, cause I don't know or really understand have the shiz that goes on (and I have given my .02 to remxing), so I apologize for not lubricating your F-Zero machine. I love what's going on. Great intro into the mix, bassline is phat and chunky, so it seems to me, awesome drumwork. You should totally do some F-Zero GX; Aeropolis, Princia, Phantom Road, Blood Falcon. (Last note; Anyone who does Blood Falcons theme from GX, NEED MOAR COWBELL) Quote
halc Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 cool soundscape. i like the keyboard sample that's prominent at 2:01. nice filters at 2:50. congratulations on your first ocr! Quote
Choccy Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Goddammit Rozovian, I've heard this song non-stop for the last 3 days. It's totally sick man. Quote
Rozovian Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Thank you all so much, feels great to see the track is so appreciated. When you're mixing it, you kind'a get tired of it, so I'm not sure I understand how you can all like it that much, but hey, I don't mind. Forgot to thank djp for the kind writeup. Yeah, the writeups are all positive, but... still. You should totally do some F-Zero GX; Aeropolis, Princia, Phantom Road, Blood Falcon. I did Aeropolis the week after first subbing this, it's just waiting to be posted now, so it'll be a few months. The style is... different. You'll see. Quote
Sobou Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 I'm not musically-inclined enough to give a detailed review, but from a listener's standpoint, I liked it a lot. Especially that eggshaker, man. Quote
Salluz Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Whoa snap! I love to hear an electronic beat with groove! The beat has that basic sound, but the notes and instrumentation around it shuffle, making a vibe that's beautiful because of the reciprocation. Oh, the beatdrop, killin' it. Ah, gotta' love it. Keep murdering us with badass music. Quote
Martin Penwald Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 I like how the song begins; very reminiscent of early-to-mid 90s trance. So we can expect more F-Zero remixes from you in the future? Good to hear. Quote
BlackPanther Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 Great stuff dude, really diggin this. I thought I posted here already but I guess now's the best time to do so because you'll be pleased to know that your song was used in a video tribute to one of the greatest Smash legends out there. Check it out Quote
Rozovian Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 Awesome. Thanks for letting me know. Quote
Tex Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 The eggshaker adds more authenticity to the mix. Quote
1makes2 Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 Dude.. Its nice to see you getting posted man! Sorry it took me so long to review this but i have been without sound on my comp for a couple of weeks. This is a great mix! love all of the automation and the shaker! When the synth bass kicks in it makes me want to slap my roomate in the face!! (in a good way of corse!) I noticed that some complained about it being too repetitive, but thats how this type of music is supposed to sound! It was produced well, had good variation and kept my interest the whole way. the keychange kinda threw me off at first, but i dug it right away, blended well. Great work man and i know i will see some more front page from you in the future! Quote
MechaFone Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 haha yes...After listening to this remix a couple times, I have decided that it is made of awesome. Eggshakers, I guess they're called? Fine addition to this song, it does add an ample degree to this. It may turn into one of those songs that I can listen to over and over and over again and still won't get old. Quote
Dj Mokram Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 So out of the blue I've decided to listen to some Rozo... And as expected from the Wip-Cru's sharpest blade, the delivery is right on schedule! This is the kind of track that could easily make people overrun the dancefloor in a nightclub. I red the complaints about the dull drums, but frankly it wasn't a bother. This Red Canyon's rendition is all that it should be: hot, fast paced and tense. The rythm comes in fast, and the distorted bass leads the way. Synths really materialize the groovy ambiance. The leads are nicely refined, and the deviation from source is subtly handled. And did I told you about that shaker? It has been a naaasty shaker allright! Great job. Oh, and as a side note: Expect more remixes from me. Yes, we do! Quote
DarkSim Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 After Rozovian posted comments on my WiP I thought I'd check out his work, and I'm so glad I did! This track's been in my head for weeks now. Absolutely love this style, and when the guitar positively growls in at 1:12, you know it means business. 1:25 is my favourite part, and it just stays awesome for the rest of the track. Great song to drive to as well. 1 thing I'm dying to know... is that shaky-egg recorded live?! Please tell me it is... Quote
Rozovian Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 1 thing I'm dying to know... is that shaky-egg recorded live?! Please tell me it is... Nope. It's a loop that came with GarageBand. Quote
DJIAimAboveLegend Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 Incredible!!! It brings back memories. F-Zero such a great game with a weird start up music:)!! Quote
Bejack Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 I'm really liking this ReMix and how it keeps the original feel of the source. I especially enjoyed the section starting at 2:05.I'm not a big fan of the ending but it doesn't take anything away from your awesome work Quote
