OmegaPhoenix128 Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 This is Done extremely well in my opinion.I like the way it sounds and junk. Then again, Ive always been somewhat partial to orchestrated music using string instruments. The ending part with the guy fits in pretty well too. Overall, Awesome.

AarowSwift Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 *rant* Why..WHY do people feel the need to stick a frigging speech into the middle of their songs? I was really happy with this piece, listening to it as I wrote, then bam, a $#^&(&*! monologue ruins it for me. *rant* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyran Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 I, for one, feel like the voice works pretty well. True, it could use some work, but it adds a nice touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reynard Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Heh. Listening to this the first time brought to mind a weird combination of Myst and Deus Ex... JC shooting up Atrus's library, anyone? That said, I rather like this one. Lots of rich patterns here, hard to predict where it's heading next, in a good way. The voice sample works, sorta. It's too loud, I'd rather listen to the piano. It really jumps out at you. But it doesn't take too much away from the rest of the mix, which is above average and definately worth a listen. I'd give it, oh... 6.5, bordering towards 7, out of 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxic Soul Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 I liked this mix very much. I like to hear the use of classical instruments turned electronic (Deadly Avenger is a good artist for this sort of thing, if anyone's interested. Picked up the CD "Deep Red" last weekend). Very cool. The voice over would've worked better at the start, I think, and perhaps a more intense beat would've been good. Overall, a good mix. I'd give it about a 7/10.

Night10194 Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 Agreed about the speech. It is a good song. And a good speech. But together, the speech ruins the song completely. My apologies if this offends, but it is my candid opinion. Please, for the love of GOD, stop putting speeches in the mixes...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villainelle Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 The voice over would've worked better at the start, I think Agreed--or maybe at the very end, over silence, so I could edit the MP3, snip it off, and keep the rest of the awesome instrumentation. I've taken a liking to Rayagon's style since first hearing him over at VGMix, and this one is more of that similarly-styled goodness. Great hybrid of slow orchestral elements, energetic piano, and trippy electronic percussion. Rayagon loves his reverb, and it sounds good with a song of this style. One thing--I believe I noticed a bit of clipping around 1:17, possibly slightly before and after too--my speakers, or is it real? Anyway, good stuff.

nachokun Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 I find the speech adds a nice flavor to the mix. I would have prefered it had been toned down a bit though. In any case, the mp3 clips several times indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SithProbe Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 This was a supercool remix, and i thought the review was much to harsh. This gets an A- in my book! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
300Happy Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 I liked that remix. The tune has a sad note to it, but also has a nice smooth pace, and nothing really seems out of place even though it keeps changing . That voice though, I think it was a nice touch personally. Where is that quote from? I never actually played that game, so bear with me. Anyway, keep up the good work! It's nice to hear good quality remixes on the site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILLiterate Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Things are in the exact place i'd want them to be & I'm a big fan of Hitman so this mix is right up my ally(4/5) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Maniac Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 I guess I stand alone when I say I actually liked 47's dialog at the end. However, when putting the song on "repeat" to listen to it while, say, browsing around the internet or what have you, the endless loops of the dialog can try your patience...maybe there should have been dialog and non-dialog versions, perhaps? I just wish there were more Hitman remixes--I love it, especially Silent Assassin's soundtrack (done by Jesper Kyd who also composed the Freedom Fighters score...I think.) Great remix, this one is.

Dark_T_Zeratul Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Personally, I felt the speech really added to this piece a lot. Normally I'm not a big fan of voices in OCRs, but there are a handful that do it exceptionally well. This piece is certainly one of them. The piece itself, by the way, is exceptional. One of my favorites, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluestune_1981 Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 orchestral elements.. eletronic beats and the voice sample rocks!! amazing song but.. theres a problem i cant undestand all words (my poor english ) anyone can help me, posting the whole "voice sample text"? thanks and congratulations for this incdredible website you have one more fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
your the man now dog Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 This song is amazing. Very smooth, but like you said, intelligently kept restrained to mimic 47's character. 47 has some of the best quotes I've ever heard in video games. To not include one of his quotes would have been a travesty, and a letdown. You really scored, Rayagon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xarlesh Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Hi bluestune_1981, my english is bad 2 but i think he says someting like I'm a killer, and I always have been. They say once you taste blood, it changes you forever. I wouldn't know 'cause it's been a part of my diet since day one. What is worth killing for, you might ask? I wouldn't know 'cause I've never had any other choice. I have always followed orders And taking another mens life All I can say is that It's both easier and more difficult than you might imagine. This remix is spectacular i'd like to hear some more Hitman remixes from you Rayagon Wonderful site some real nice music y the hell haven't i visited this site earlier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Pretty nice blend of tech elements and orchestra, I liked how you had a decent amount of synths in there, it made it the mix unique to the few other mixes in this genre. The beat was a bit scattered, but overall things worked pretty well. That oboe at the beginning sounded almost exactly like the oboe sample in Chrono Cross. Kind of crazy; even the melody was similar. Pretty crazy piano comping near the end, sounds great but i'm not sure how realistic it is. Ending wasn't too enjoyable for me. the voice sample was a bit loud, and after that there wasnt a proper resolution, just a half fade out. Overall pretty decent.

Bahamut Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 This is a nice listen - it's more atmospheric/minimal. I think it's a little too quiet at times, especially closer to the end before the monologue - I think it would have been better with more to it before it winded down. As it is, the effect is a little muted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
