analoq Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 apparently Dev has been trying to submit this ever since he won IMC10, which is a pretty long time so i agreed to fall it thru for him. i remember this mix, and while it was kinda empty at points and the mastering job was weak, the arrangement was pretty good. yes (prot's mix was better though)
Digital Coma Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 Simple, slow, and sparse, especially when the guitar and piano are each left lonesome. Guitar introduced before the beat is strange and sounds like a mistake. Not too much to say; I like his Dark Cloud mix more, but this works well enough for what it is. YES
Protricity Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 OOHHHHHHHHHHHHH YES This song won IMC10 and kicked star and I to 3rd place. And with good cause! YES Masterful and creative.
GrayLightning Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 Sparse, especially for the first half. But it works for this mix. I honestly don't like the transition from from the first half to the second half. Sounds like a generic crossfade. There's some minor issues, like a click or pop sound at around 2:53 and 3:22. A minor detraction that is probably nitpicking. There's also the other stuff that the other judges have pointed out already. Overall, it's hard to argue against this mix. Beautiful piano and guitar work, combined with rich strings with a paddish feel in the background. All in all this is very nicely arranged, and the result is a very nice filmic style, that gives off a haunting and lonely vibe. Easy YES
