Liontamer Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I obviously judged this mix, but up until reading the writeup and Dave's point about the arrangement, it didn't really hit home with me that this was a Zeal mix. The creativity of the arrangement ideas here was a testament to how you can never call a theme overmixed; someone from the community will always find a new and interesting way to interpret a tired and true theme, and I'm always collectively proud of everyone involved when it happens. Nice work on this one, Joren, great energy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunther Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Really nice I need to listen it a little more but it's my genre of track and I really like the source. Now I need to sleep, here in Italy it's 5AM... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadeAuto Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 YAAAY! I remember seeing this on the wip forums, downloading it, and being blown away. It's about freaking time!!! Yes, Corridor of Time has been mixed to hell and back. But this mix... It's one of the best mixes of this theme out there. (There's only one other metal/guitar version of this theme (and schala's theme, part two of that set) that I would even say is close - and that version is too repetitive to qualify, i think, to be a ReMix - but I love it in it's own way). Anyhow, enough offtopic'ing. This mix rocks the house. If you love CT, and you hate Zeal, still... try this one on for size! The solo later on definitely has the metalica groove going on - a bit lighter, a bit fluffier, but still, good stuff. Excelent production work. Also sounds great on a pioneer car stereo at maximum volume - no distortion, so it was mixed fantastically. Great job, and an excelent ReMix. Gogo April 09!

Nekofrog Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 My contribution to this mix is that I told Tensei to hold back on the harmonized guitar for one bar; and I think it sounds better for it :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinewav Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Holy #@$%. I'm not even going to try to analyze this one. I am too in awe. Best rock remix since Passing of the Blue Crown (imo of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sengin Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I remember when you asked for reviewers in the OCRWIP IRC room. It was good then. It's amazing now. I was reading djp's writeup, and saw that you said you had influence from Naruto. I was thinking "Ok, but I don't hear it..." and then bam, on cue, the shamisen kicked in. But yeah, niiiiiice. I really love how it's not just heavy guitar, there's a lot in here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kureejii Lea Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Definitely a fresh take on a familiar theme, and it's awesome for it! The dramatic intro is fun and there's great energy and interesting little touches through the whole thing. The synth almost makes me think late MegaMan/early X series music, while the bit starting at 1:36 kinda reminds me of Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon. There's one note at 2:42 that makes the transition sound a little odd, but it's a small thing. Rockin' stuff, and proof that even the "overdone" themes still have all kinds of potential.

Emunator Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Definitely the kind of mix I can appreciate. It's full of energy, but with the exception of a few remixers, I've found that plain guitar mixes have kind of lost their appeal to me. That's where this mix shines - the extensive instrumentation really brings this song to a new level of awesomeness I look forward to seeing what you can bring to the table in the future, and to the DKC2 remix album in particular. I'm excited to hear your track for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhsu Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 This reminds me a lot of YAMAGEN. Who just happens to be one of my favorite arrangers ever. Awesome stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avaris Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 ABOUT FUCKIN TIME! (end of capitals) One of my favorite mixes from recent time. Reignited my long lost nostalgic luv for the Zeal theme. Always knew Tensei had it in him to make something awesome like this; with the prowess of tweek added to the processor this one is a keeper. Kudos on a ridiculous arrangement and general aesthetic.

Black Mage Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 There's a little something for everyone in this song! Rock guitars, cello solo, synths...it really keeps you on your toes, anticipating the next transition. Only half way through the song and this one has already earned a ***** rating.

DJ Magotrox Brazil Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 It was a really good remix. It seems to have different influences throught each part of the mix. I nice job from Joren de Bruin and Brian Arnold. Keep it up, dudes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechaFone Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I am Mechafone, and I approve of this remix introduction. I also approve of the rest of this mix. Great production throughout, it's lively and intent on being awesome. Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Flintlock Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 This has serious rock opera vibes going all over it. The Doc approves. Also, the little solo around 2:26 makes me grin. I can see the Sixto similarities, but you guys effectively made this mix all your own I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 good stuff for sure- lots of variation, some very cool ideas, and that level of Tweek polish. Nice playing, and plenty of rock. This one is a keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
