Yuiopdude Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hehe, VERY interesting, and entertaining... probably not something I'd listen to for hours on end, but something to put on the playlist so that when random hits it I got "What the fu- oh yea... hehe" I think *MIGHT* have been better if there were "party" sounds near the intro, around the middle, and near the end... As in, people talking and the like, so it would give a feel of "fake live music," where, really, the only thing fake about it is the people, but I understand how that coulda been hard to pull off Anyway, I'll definitely get this just to have as a "WTF" factor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunther Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 The more I think about it, the more I agree the title could use some work...Heineken of My Groin? The bad thing is that here http://dod.vgmix.com/past/oct08/ is listed as Legend of Heineken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunther Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hey guys, let the man submit his remix under whatever title he wants. You're right, you're right... But I'm searching to do some critic, and that is the only part that I don't like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avaris Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Friggin ace dude! The recording and manipulation of the samples is top knotch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uboichi2 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 What's up with foreigners and Heineken? =/ It's awful beer! And that's about the only critical note I can give about it xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZealPath Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 What an interesting idea, and what awesome execution! The cool thing about this mix is that it's so well done it's almost hard to believe it was all done with the various sounds made by the bottle, and this also helps to make it more than just a novelty mix to prove that it could be done. Had you wanted to be funny you could have inserted the "Hey Broski, 2 Heinekens!" sound clip from "My New Haircut," but, it works just fine as it is.

Nobbynob Littlun Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Fun at first, gets a little old, but I'd definitely keep those samples for later use. The Heineken will be an excellent addition to other instrumentations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moogle! Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Interesting mix, but I think sending an admin PM was a little much. Please save that for important stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Mage Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I was just listening to today's Buzz Out Loud and got a real kick out when Tom Merritt mentioned this remix at the end and even played a short excerpt. Check it out on episode 979 at 32:09. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt E. Waldman Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Now THIS is creative. Kudos, Mattias, for trying something unique in the remixing community! The quality of the bottle sounds is fantastic, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vosur Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I'll take a classic-bottled Pepsi over the Heineken, but otherwise an enjoyable piece of remixed music. -Lugs a jug of Pepsi and downs it- Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dafydd Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I agree there are some timing issues, but overall it sounds really good. The percussive sounds are more interesting than the melodic ones, imho. At 1:30 or so this reminds me a lot of the Age of Empires soundtrack, probably thanks to the combination of pitched blowing sounds and drums. I'm not sure about the title - I think "Legend of Heineken" or even "Heineken Zelda" would have been better. There's been a few fun mixes posted recently - I hope it keeps up.

Martin Penwald Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I'm with djp on this one, in that I don't think the arrangement would have been enough on its own, i.e. the novelty factor helped to get the song on OCR a fair bit. But then again, what does it matter. It's a great idea, and the song itself is good times, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwordBreaker Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Can't argue with the amount of effort put into the sounds and playing. However, this is just too gimmicky for me. I don't see the appeal in the sounds at all. The arrangement wasn't mind-blowing, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmiduke Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Great novelty piece given plenty of attention in the last couple of months. I had friends that had never heard of OCR linking me to it. I think as a novelty it is quite successful, although there is a point where you reach a bit of bottle fatigue. When the fun wears off and you begin searching for musical sustenance, I think you'll still find some enjoyable aspects, but its not top-tier in arrangement beyond the gimmick. There's no doubt that this is enjoyable and sounds great (I like how simple bottle samples channel South American panflutes quite closely), but there's also a large amount of potential ready to be tapped for mixes like this. My worst nightmare would be for OCR to turn into a novelty mix haven, but one of these every so often is a nice surprise. Keep up the good work.

halc Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Yeah, this one is gimmicky... I can appreciate the use of homemade and self-recorded samples (I would sooo use those beer bottle samples, if I could get 'em ), and the production quality is high, but the arrangment falls way short of the standards imo. When this was first posted I was expecting an orchestra of blown bottle sounds, but was left with but a single moving line and a few interesting percussive ideas throughout. Underwhelming, but a fun listen regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emunator Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 yeah, I have to agree with Halc on this one. The novelty factor here is through the roof and I enjoy showing this one to friends, but from a more objective standpoint this isn't very engaging past the first 30 seconds or so, once the neatness of the samples wears off. I appreciate the amount of effort that must have gone into making this, but I think I'll have to pass on this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
