Dhsu Posted January 29, 2004 Posted January 29, 2004 Lovin' the bassline. I like this mix...gots that funky Oriental FLAVA. Like a good bowl of Ramen. Mmmm...Ramen... Quote
Liontamer Posted January 29, 2004 Posted January 29, 2004 Oh shit! This is PIMP! I'll edit something else here some other time, but this is the shit! Quote
Kamikaze Noodle Posted January 29, 2004 Posted January 29, 2004 This mix has got groove out the wazzoo. The fun just does not stop with this remix. The lo-fi samples combined with the smooth guitar combined with the catchiness of your typical NES song just makes this a total keeper. To me, it sounds like what would happen if DJ Shadow, Zamphir, Kraftwerk, and Santana decided to do a remix of an old Japanese themesong. But I'll just stop now, cuz I've had this song on repeat for a while now and I can't think straight with that infectious melody blaring in my head. :nicework: Quote
Bruk Posted January 29, 2004 Posted January 29, 2004 I don't fucking know anything about the game this is from, but boy howdy! Good stuff. Quote
Coucou Posted January 29, 2004 Posted January 29, 2004 As usual, I don't know the original music. This remix is excellent! I love the bassline and the bass sound. The snaredrum (or clap) sounds a little low-fi. But the congas(?) roll is so funny (@0'59, @3'08, @3'38 for example). Favorite_remixes_count := +1 (thanks:) Quote
Trenthian Posted January 29, 2004 Posted January 29, 2004 OH MY SWEET GOD... Evil... horde.... STYLE STYLE STYLE!!!! ::the groove never stops:: Oh man I almost cried when i heard it start to fade out, but then I fixed the problem by starting it over. Plus points ! Quote
Lunevalkyrave Posted January 30, 2004 Posted January 30, 2004 I just heard of this game myself but DJ you did well. This mix shows a lot of pizaz, if you know what I mean. I like the guitar solo bit especialy, and the build up to it!! One thing, though, was the ending nice job on the fading, but I know you could have, not so easly, made a suprising kick in the groin ending. It just fades out. Not bad, but think of the possibilitys!!!! Quote
Konino Posted January 30, 2004 Posted January 30, 2004 Excelent,simply excelent! I'don't know the original game,but the mix is one of the best i'd taken from the site! Well done Quote
hitokirisabin Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 I just recently played the game, because I managed to find it in my Commodore 64 box! You did an amazing job capturing the esscence of this game. No matter what kind of criticism you get from other people, including myself, YOU DID AN OUTSTANDING WORK OF ART! Kudos! Quote
Rapyer2986 Posted February 21, 2004 Posted February 21, 2004 This remix is fun and sweet! For some reason it reminded me of the ending theme to "Big Trouble In Little China." Real catchy tune. Never played the game, but I was a fan of the character. Quote
glassdomino Posted February 21, 2004 Posted February 21, 2004 i LOVed the remix it was played thru the entire movie of battle royale at my house....i wish i could play the game it was dirived from. but in anycase keep up the good work Quote
Al Capwn Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 I don't know why but this reminds me of this 80's song that always comes on at work..anyways i like this good work! Quote
Goldeneye Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 I can't get enough of this song. I love how the samples sound so low budget but the song is actually awesome. Quote
Cadmus Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 sweet bass, mixed with a low hip-hop drum beat...good chill piece from a very lesser known game. Quote
Less Ashamed Of Self Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 A very missable piece but very very catchy... there's something totally awesome about this piece I can't quite put my finger on. Synth staccato flute notes repeating and going up and down in a very unusual pattern... very odd. Very simple. Very groove. Nice. Recommended. Quote
watkinzez Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 The hell why this doesn't have more comments? Very happy this didn't get removed a while back. Hot stuff. Quote
Gezmen Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Omg what a pity that I so lately explored this remix of my favorite C64 game's tune. It's a catchy one and still playing over and over in my player. It carries out the soul from beginning till end. Nice job done at 2:17. Quote
OceansAndrew Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Pretty good source arranged very effectively; I am loving the lofi beats and what sounds to me like a koto or something being played like a mandolin. Very interesting idea, and I think it works very well. I would have preferred the bass to be a deeper house sound, but I think the rest of the instrument choices were pretty good. The guitar tone was nice, and the overall feel gelled pretty well. Arrangement is pretty similar to the original, but expands on things slightly, so i'm glad this one didn't get snatched up in a lockdown. Quote
Dionyseus Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Very catchy tune. Kinda sounds like it's in disco style. Quote
Marmiduke Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 Awesome source selection. Perfect little tune to build upon and kick ass with. And kick ass it does. Love how it establishes itself to begin with and never really betrays the initial momentum, save for a few little much welcomed melody breaks. Everything else is sweet, sweet arranged expansion. The introducion of the guitar work is particularly fine, and the other supporting instruments hold their weight too. But centre stage is that bass; and though it does what bass usually does and just repeats for most of the piece, it's an attention holder. Groovy indeed. Because the game the source has come from is relatively obscure, this is yet another mix that's going to suffer a long existence of being overlooked. A real shame, seeings as it's a real mover with a great sense of style. Quote
WesternZypher Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 I share djp's opening sentiment - love this mix, fr way back in the day. So Glad EvilHorde came back after four years, and can't wait for him to return this style. Quote
swansdown Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Very cool. Captures well the feel of the game and the character. Love the change-up at :45, but the entire track is great. Quote
