Liontamer Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Hi, included is a submission of my band's recent recording of the Underground Theme from Super Mario 3. It is in the middle of an original song, but for the submission I have edited it to just the Underground Theme. It will still be called Fire of the Mind though. The remixer name is MarbleGarden. Our website is myspace.com/marblegarden. Our real band name is Marble Garden, but my name is Angelo. ID number is http://www.ocremix.org/forums/member.php?u=27366 Enjoy!

Palpable Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Not a bad recording, but won't cut it as an arrangement for OCR. The bass is the only thing connecting this to the original song and you can't hear it most of the time. It'd have to be a more prominent element and used more creatively. What you've got here is mostly original. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vig Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Nice concept, somewhat sloppy execution. You guys are doing some cool stuff, but it's just not ready for primetime yet. You need a more organized arrangement. Keep it up though. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anosou Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 This is a cool idea lacking in execution, just like Jesse said. As an arrangement it's way too liberal and the production has some issues (noises from the drums at :13-:16 for example). Your band has obviously got the skills but this is mainly an original song. If you're interested in creating an arrangement originally made for OCR I'd be interested to see what you come up with. I can't sign off to this track though.

Liontamer Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 This already has the 3 NOs, and I've got nothing new here, but I vote on everything anyway. http://www.zophar.net/download_file/14692 - Track 12 As was mentioned, the theme was there the entire time with the perc patterns and bassline without exception. But once the original writing entered the picture at :25, the source tune was relegated to the background where it was barely audible. You guys marginalized it, when it should have been emphasized. If this had been mixed with the new writing in the background and the source theme in the foreground, and the source melody and perc had more interpretation/variation, this would have been a contender. This isn't a bad arrangement, but it de-emphasizes the source tune too much, and, when you strip away the additive parts, doesn't get interpretive with the source material. Would love to hear you guys perform a more involved and developed version of this arrangement. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
