SoulinEther Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Congrats on this (finally) getting posted. Your latest wip for it has been on one of my car mix CDs for a while, and it's still awesome to listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabeel Ansari Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 HAVEN'T WE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS SONG? *listens to remix* ... no we haven't. Nice, I like how your lead synth imitates an electric guitar. Great energy. Nice drums. xD Excellent work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlashX Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 this is great!! i love remixes from Sonic!!! please people do some more Sonic stuff!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollidayrain Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 The ONLY things I'm not completely feelin' about this piece are the kick and snare. They just don't work for me (neither the samples nor the patterns). That being said, EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT THIS IS SIICKKKK!!!!!!! I wonder what this would sound like with some drum n' bass/Pendulum-esque drums...oh mannn. But seriously, phenomenal synth work Willrock. I love your interpretation of the Ice Cap Zone theme!

esteve7 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 but am so glad I gave it a chance! Just like what the review said - so what for a new Ice Cap song (or a new Schala song, or a new Tetris song...)? Well I'm now on my 4th loop and it's still awesome. I totally dig the 80's theme in this, just like in your first Remix on this site for Zelda. Keep up the great work and I can't wait to hear more!

Rozovian Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 About time. Not too familiar with Sonic or even Ice Cap Zone a year back when I heard this the first time I didn't know what was source and what wasn't, and that's a good sign. The source is used well and the original content is seamlessly blended in with differently variations of source. I do agree with Larry and others who have complained about the simple synths. The lead, when it first comes in, bothers me a bit, it's a little too simple compared to what I'm used to. Then again, the overall sound is full of simpler synth sounds, so it's not hard to look past it and just enjoy this 80's revival track. It's a fun track. I envy you a bit.

Gario Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Not much into the synths, personally, but you know what? The solo is really awesome! The arrangement is great, good solos, sweet source - this all makes it worth listening to, even if you don't like the synths used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fureddi Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Hrmm. First thing I see when I log on today is a new STH:3 remix. As a rule, I tend to only get stuff from games I've played, apart from projects. So it was a "Yes to download." First thing I saw in the IRC chat was not to download. My response was "too late," as I already had downloaded it, and was on the play of it before being archieved for when I get me a sick ass vehicle to play the best OC tunes in... learning to drive provided. It's not the BEST Ice Cap Zone remix of the lot out there. But, It's good enough to pass on my playlist. Lol. Always like to hear new stuff anyway, traditional music and what's on the radio sucks compared to OCR and Prog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafydd Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 The Gap Company again? Well, I'm a sucker for it too. The drums were a little boring, especially the snare and how it keeps playing at what at least seems like the same velocity. Leads and solos are awesome as usual.

Matt E. Waldman Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Great remix. One of the more interesting interpretations of this piece I've heard in a while. Firstly, the instrumentation is a bit of a mixed bag. The drums are adequate, nothing too special. Some of the synths are pretty bland, while others work pretty well. Even though I've heard a lot of these synth presets over and over again, the arrangement more than makes up for it. The arrangement is really really nice, and a lot of the harmonies add a nice touch to it. It has SO much that the original piece didn't have, and yet retains the same feel of the original. Overall, good job. If I was on the judges panel, I would consider this barely passable, mainly because of the production quality. But hey, arrangement is where this piece really succeeds!

superjoe30 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 hey, willrock's ice cap remix finally got posted! I have it in my library from when he first posted it in the wip forum <3 Halc, you've obviously not heard BGC's "eastern ice field" or DigiE's "breaking the ice".

SnB Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 i love ice cap zone music. always on the look out for sonic 3 remixes. this remix is fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning13 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I have to say that it truly is perhaps the greatest remix I've heard in a very long time, amazing!! I love it! Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazygecko Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Never thought that yet another Ice Cap remix would be so fun to listen to. It's got a distinct euro/demoscene style to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triad Orion Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Not to be a broken record, but I catch what people are saying about some of the synths sounding a little limp. And honestly, I agree that the drums sound fake and weak. The drums are probably the weakest part. I like DJP's suggestion about switching over to Toms, that would probably fit the retro feel better. All that said, your interpretation of the song was fantastic, and kept the (admittedly common) source tune interesting. It has a good sense of workmanship, even if the instrumentation could've been improved some. But you know what? This was a fun song, and I like it quite a bit. Congrats on a successful, unique submission on a well-worn source tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halc Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 hey, willrock's ice cap remix finally got posted!I have it in my library from when he first posted it in the wip forum <3 Halc, you've obviously not heard BGC's "eastern ice field" or DigiE's "breaking the ice". Eastern Ice Field may be a more complex production, and the the style is certainly unique, but all the great synth soloing/interpretation in this mix (i have to mention that 1:44-2:33 is absolutely fantastic) warrants more listens on my playlist. I'm not gonna try to argue with Breaking the Ice (true, I hadn't heard this one) - either way, leave me alone. I can praise this as much as I want, and I think it's a great ice cap mix that holds its ground among any other great ice cap mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmansdc Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Didn't someone say something once somewhere that there can never be too many IceCap remixes? I could tell what type of remix this was going to be as soon as I saw the title. Still have yet to download it so maybe I shouldn't have even posted this.

PROTO·DOME Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 You can never have too much Willrock lead synth writing. Solos are good. *nods* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Nice additional harmonies and solos. That's what really brings this one to life. I agree that the drums are the weak point here, there's no velocity shifts at all. The good news is that the synths sound pretty good. There's a few clarity issues, but things are clear enough to hear what's going on. Good stuff, I enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Penwald Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 It's got a distinct euro/demoscene style to it. This. Much like most other reviewers, I agree that the drums are the weak point, while the arrangement and solos are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richter Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Larry, I question your yes's and I question your no's. Just sayin'! The ONLY things I'm not completely feelin' about this piece are the kick and snare. They just don't work for me (neither the samples nor the patterns).That being said, EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT THIS IS SIICKKKK!!!!!!! Concur'd'ed'd'ed'd!
