Ratchet and Clank Song

I just made a remix on the first Ratchet & Clank game. This remix is from the Gemlik Base level. Here: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/189148

Repetitive. Could be less repetitive. The minimal instrumentation kind'a hurt it there, with more instruments, more backing, more melodies, you could have it more interesting, it'd transition better between the first section and the piano. Towards the end, you've got a few tracks, but it's still repetitive in its sound. Varied chords backing it up might work, or just finding a melody from source to drive it (doesn't have to be from the same song). Changing the chords when the piano comes in could also work, even if it'd just change one of the repetitions.

It's also kind'a heavy on the lows, not much in the high range to balance it out, at least not until the choir comes in. You might want to have a slow ride rhythm where you don't have hihats, just to even things out. The shaker would work, but you only had it in for a little while. I also don't like the dry and weak snare. Needs different processing, or even a different snare sample.

I could easily imagine this progressing into something with more drive, trance/dance perhaps, after the piano came in (around 1:08 ), but it goes back to the stale rhythm you had in the beginning. Doesn't really matter that much what you'd change it to, as long as you'd change it more. imo, anyway.

Still, this sounds fairly promising. It could be great, but it's not there yet.
