Malcos Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 Oh this is hard one this one. It starts off, and lets you get kinda bored with the very long intro, then explodes into a breakbeat frenzy. I like the idea, and it has been done well, but.... Ok listened again.

GrayLightning Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 This is a mixed bag. The intro was quite good. I love long drawn out intros. However after that, it went downhill. Once it got to the fast section, the transition to that was quite disjointed. It almost felt like it was two different songs being blended together. Once in the fast sections, from halfway until the end, the speed up is very unnatural. It feels like it was sped up too much. It feels very awkward. Very nice ideas and instrumentation here, especially in the intro. However after the intro it simply went downhill in execution. Ending is decent. There's also a loud, annoying click/pop sound at the end (4:06). I hope to hear more from you in the future as you certainly have talent, now go and work on polishing it up. I don't think this will cut it though, so NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Dan Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 intro was incredibly long, which wouldn't be so bad if it led into a song that seemed to fit the intro. And not to be too picky, but around 1:30, you've mixed the bubble man riffs in their key along with the major keyed intro, which doesn't really sound pretty. I like the intro, but it doesn't really lead into the song you're doing. Sounds like you wanted to include this cool intro in the remix and just fit it in the best you could. The other problem is, as I see it, the main body of the song seems less thought complete than the intro did. It's interesting and jarring. I think we get through the melody once in entirety before it ends though, which seems like not enough compared to the long intro. All in all, I think this one is gonna be a NO from me. On a note that reflects my personal opinion more than objectivity, the style of the main body of this song was so jarring that it was unenjoyable and seemed more like "how many ways can I chop this song up?" than "how can I interpret this song in a cool and aurally pleasing fashion?"

Vig Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 i hear what dan is saying about the conflicting keys... wow. the orchestra stabs are really ugly. you need some new sounds. the remix is really jarring and quite ugly, although you have some very interesting rhythmic play going on. it needs better sounds, some reverb, and perhaps some soft pads. who knows. the ending is half assed, and the remix never really escalates at all. the intro is great, but the intro isnt a remix. chop off the remix, develop the intro and call it an original. the remix attached just isnt that listenable.

The wingless Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 I loved the intro. And sad to say, I love discord, intentional or not (see also: Teardrinker). While there are some technical pimples in this piece, I really like it as a whole. I'm loathe to say I like it warts and all, because the faults of this piece are glaring and hard to mother. But there's this charm and novelty to the overall piece that's hard to ignore, as well. Congrats! My first torn decision in a long, long time. Considering the number of yes's to no's. I'm going to vote yes, on the grounds that, if the next person doesn't agree with me, he'll have his way, regardless of what I think. But if somebody else thinks there's something of merit in this, the chain letter can keep going on. YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protricity Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 Bubbleman melody indeed does not play well along with the chords chosen. Starting at around 1:50, many of the chords are completely off. Fix the chords and resubmit. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
