Vig Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 i was really enjoying the groove and the synthpop sound until the melody came in, which isnt very well arranged. it sounds like it's straight from the NES with a slightly higher-bit sound. in fact, the entire song, other than the intro, is really pretty straightforward. there arent a lot of instruments or harmonies. and thesong is short, it doesnt expand. NO EDIT: i should have been more clear, my complaint is not that the mix is too close to the original, rather that the melody sounds like it's straight from the NES, and such a sound is asynchronistic with the groove.
Protricity Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 Hey, this is pretty cool stuff, but now that I remember the original, this is indeed very similar. Lots of nice 80s concepts going though. However, 2:30 just doesn't cover it. Its way too short. Please resubmit a longer version of this song. I REALLY liked it. Another regretful NO
GrayLightning Posted December 13, 2003 Posted December 13, 2003 Yeah I'm hearing and digging the 80s vibe. I thought I was imagining things, but then I noticed Vig mentioned it too. It feels quite empty, the harmonies feel very nonexistent. This is the main problem of the mix right here. Good synth work. Really appropriate and cool drumwork too. I'm really liking this mix, except for the one major flaw. Add some more instruments and enrichen the harmony. The tune's length doesn't really bother me, it's fine in that department in my book. Of course if you did expand it that would be better. sad to say NO
The wingless Posted December 14, 2003 Posted December 14, 2003 N*GAGE DA PHAT B33TZ I really, really liked this 'mix. I'm torn between thinking there should be more instruments and believing that you're going for some consistency in the piece. While it does not expand in any grandeous way, I think it's very enjoyable, regardless. Horray for slowing down the judging process. YES
Digital Coma Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 I so think Synthpooped is a cooler title. Took me a while to find the original from the NSF - cool remake of the original with NESesque synthwork and bends galore; mostly note for note, can't say there's much more to it. NO
