analoq Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 this is a unique interpretation from the original (assuming this is a remix of the NES version of the game, the only version i've played) the C64ness is ... okay. the percussion rhythm is uhh, different. but not in an interesting way. i think for the timespan of this track (1:50) it really doesn't offer the listener quite enough. it is only the same 4 bars over and over but with changing accompaniment each time. doesn't really build, no climax, no tension. the author says in the ID3 tag that he did this in one day. yes... he did.

Protricity Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 1:50 is far too short to be a remix. The beat has some serious sync issues. It may have been intentional, but either way, its damned hard on the ears and kills the rythm. Chord problems from 1:00 and up. Try for a good 4 minutes and try not to loop so much. Work on your beats and try for other instruments aside from what the NES used. This is, after all, a remixing website.\ NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcos Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 Hmm, not one for chiptunes myself. This is a little repetitive, but the arrangement itself is ok, and I like what the bass is doing with the chord in the second half - it makes things a little more interesting. It is very short though, and I think that the mix would be a lot better if it wasn't a chiptune. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Israfel Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 The drums are rather overpowering- pretty much drowning out everything else. Could definitely some more ideas as well- there's only one musical idea going on here, as the same harmonies, beats etc. basically repeat throughout. I can appreciate some of the attempts at creating a unique sound with the off-kilter drum beat and such, but overall this mix just doesn't work well in my opinion.
