bustatunez Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Jawsome. Love the chordal part you bring in at 1:08 and a few other times throughout, totally fits with the metal but brings a new angle on the original. Quote
OceansAndrew Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Pretty brutal, i love the Iced Earth style production. Great rhythm playing, and even some sweeps in there too (or is it legato tapping? It all sounds the same to me. As in, it all sounds awesome). I didn't really dig the source that much, but you really kicked it up and focused on the strengths. Nice work, dude. Quote
jintoreedwine Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 This mix is a little heavy for my personal taste in rock, but I still recognise that it is a very solid mix! Nice work! Quote
Sephiroth1218 Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 love it. i love anything from Xenogears anyway but this is an awesome mix to supplement my collection. really feeling the rock. great for playing pvp in WoW lol. ty for submitting this. wish it was a little longer though its so good i dont want it to end lol Quote
LuigiFan Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 This is some nice stuff. I really liked the Banjo-Kazooie track (all the way back in 2008....I found that funny), and so I'm glad to hear that you're awesome just on your own. It sounds very nice too - I'm glad you were able to step up production, because the end result is quite delicious. Looking forward to more. Quote
justinj212 Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Good work. I like how it builds steadily, and the last :30 or so are excellent. Maybe reading too much into it, but the title suggests there are three parts to the song, and you can feel it growing as it moves from section to section. Or maybe I'm making this up Quote
Gario Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Sound's like Lamb of God meets Xenogears to me (not the new stuff... more like the Ruin album, which was better). That's pretty bad ass. Good use of the sources; for some reason, I didn't ever think of this song being 'metal'd out'. You've converted me there! Quote
42 Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 This sounds like metalification of pain and sorrow. Wow, this is great stuff, nice work. Quote
HitoriJaNai Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 This is tight. Really. Keep up the good work, Nekofrog, and congrats for your first solo piece up here! Quote
Martin Penwald Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 The sound of the guitar(s) isn't exactly my cup of coffee. However, the arrangement is very nice, and the fast sections (i.e. 2:00 and 3:15 onwards) are awesome. Quote
Gollgagh Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Aw yeah, I was wondering when this was going to get posted. nice work Neko Quote
ChaosPlayer Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 The first 20 seconds thought it would be somthing cheesy, but goodness gracious... This is something tasteful for guitar for this song. I love it. A+Must Listen! Quote
WillRock Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Nice intro I thought A somewhat misleading intro. I love the chunky rhythm guitar sound The bass is lost in the mix tho, I can hear it, but I have to listen very hard. I liked the panning on the leads, however, the lead sound didn't seem to quite fit with the sound, it sounded somewhat exposed imo :S I love the source btw, its def suited to the style your working in. I didn't think the drums flowed very well. You had plenty of variation in your drum patterns, but you didn't use fills to introduce the changes. They went from one pattern to the other without warning and it threw me off a little. I don't know the source, but I liked the arrangement. Not perfect, but an enjoyable track, and worth the download Nice work Quote
Marmiduke Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Expertly crafted buildup mix. It constantly reminds us that we are being led somewhere, and it's going to be crazy when we get there. And it certainly doesn't fall short, either. The mix is at its best when it's utilising the layered guitars to their full capacity, and thankfully, that consists of a good portion of the mix. Certainly, the climax is an enlightening highlight, but there are several really awesome, powerful mini-climaxes sprinkled along the way. As far as the simpler, thinner sections like the intro and bridges went, they showed consistency and quality, but are obviously dwarfed by the very conventions they hold together. I think this mix is all about the guitar, and the guitar sounds wicked. Heavier and more to the point than the norm; it's a hell of a ride. Recommended if you enjoy the contained-blast-of-metal-in-both-ears approach to game remixing. Quote
Emunator Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 This is a really insane mix, but it's definitely a bit weak on the production side of things, at least, compared to some of your newer stuff. It's great seeing how far you've come in that area of things, but your arrangements have been awesome from the start Quote
Nekofrog Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 It should probably be noted that my REJECTED version of this mix got posted instead of the version that I actually subbed and got passed. There aren't really many production issues in the redo. I think someone messed up in the remix posting department. Quote
SwordBreaker Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 It should probably be noted that my REJECTED version of this mix got posted instead of the version that I actually subbed and got passed.There aren't really many production issues in the redo. I think someone messed up in the remix posting department. Really? That has to be a first. Wonder what will happen now? On that note, I love this remix either way. Nice energy and guitar playing. If OCR doesn't fix this then I'm interesting in having the final version. Quote
Nekofrog Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 I dunno, I've tried to point it out a few times to several people, but it never made any headway. In the meantime you can hear the final version here: Quote
tweex Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 Now we get to hear Neko's first original/solo remix. Nice atmosphere coming in at the beginning. The drums feel a little thin as do the power chords, however, it's all performed admirably well, especially the guitar. The lead has a great GREAT tone to it. It reminds me heavily of Fishy's first remix from Pokemon (that still hasn't been released yet, but soon). The crazy double kick pedal section was a nice touch and really drove the intensity up right before the breakdown. I love the meaty-ness of the power chords during the breakdown section. The tremolo on the high strings right at the end were very well done and added a layer of texture there that was great. All in all, a very good first sub from Justin! Quote
TBsmasher Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Just looked at the final edit, and WOW, that is impressive. That version really needs to get posted on here. It's a shame that this mistake was overlooked. Quote
Octagon Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 This was the ReMix that lead me to this site in the first place... I think. I kinda miss some parts of the original, but you stripped down Awakening and emphasized its triumphant side very effectively, and the inclusion of Omen feels really natural. The buildup is incredible. A very powerful and inspiring tune overall. Quote
Audity Posted June 18, 2021 Posted June 18, 2021 Did the real version of this ReMix ever replace the firstly uploaded one? Quote
