djpretzel Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 Credited to: DJD E-mail: Darj409@yahoo.com Game: Super Metroid Remix: Helltroid This is my third submission. The mix was made with Fruityloops 3.5 and Cool Edit Pro 2.0. Around the time that I finished the song, I looked on your site and there was a new mix of the very same song and I was like awww mannnn!! And on top of that, it was tight! But oh well, my remix can be found here: Its the one named Helltroid, duh ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protricity Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Now this is well used dissonance I really likes. Problems here are mainly the over-use of drumloops and constant repetition. DAMNIT> I really like this one. The drumloop thing is a minus, but this song really had the dissonance feel to it. Very nice. YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital Coma Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 The drumloop gets very tedious. There are good elements to this: befitting discords, synthy breakbeat bridge, piano breakdown, nice low-fi instrumentation. But I think someone was having more fun with the playlist than the piano roll! The patterns are constantly repeating, and the actual melody is rather unchanged from the original. If this is updated/resubmitted, I'd want to see more dynamic percussion and less reliance on reiteration. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The wingless Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 My first evar judgeing... I don't mind telling you, I'm highly erect right now. Initial Impressions: _______________ I've always been a sucker for distortion and dissonance. So that's a plus. Right off the bat it distinguished itself from our healthy mix of metroid mixes. But it just doesn't seem to lead anywhere. It's like a meandering story. There's a beginning and an end, but the middle seems to just ramble. Maybe a more developed theme would help, but then again, maybe the artist intended for this mix to not have a strong melody, which I can respect. I don't have too much of a problem with the drums because they're a nice driving force behind the distortion... but still, there feels like there should be something in the core of the song, and that's what's throwing me. It's got a real hollow-apple feeling to it. Lasting Impression: ________________ If Vigi is right and there's an update to this, I'd like to hear it judge on that. This song has a unique sound, but I don't think that alone makes it the best piece it could be. A stronger middle section, possibly (but not necessarily) a stronger melody, and a much more focused sense of purpose would me make vote yes, but for now, it's a NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcos Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Heh ok, I'm kinda just holding off for the update now. I like this, but the two things it really needs is more variation, and perhaps another texture layer. NO (Awaiting update) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Dan Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 hard to tell if this is intentional or just ignorant. Sounds like the artists didn't quite know the pitches here. The sounds are nice and the quality isn't bad. But the joint is all out of tune and I can not abide by that. NO D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
