PROTO·DOME Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Oh wow, this is awesome. The glitchy thing is just kick-ass. I was waiting for a Vectorman remix actually, love it. Going straight to the top of my playlist. ^o^ (Must've caught this as it was posted!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitoriJaNai Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 This is such awesomeness. What else can I say? It makes me want to dance. -starts dancing- Great job, Dain. Keep up the awesome work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabeel Ansari Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Fantastic synth and sounds. Very pulsing and never gets boring! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hachi Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Awesome mix. Makes me want to break out my Genesis. I'm gonna be playing this all day today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonAvenger Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 The first thing that I thought when hearing this is that it is loaded with sound. Musically it just feels...full. Great job filling, practically literally, the soundscape. The entire mix is driving, which is great in that it never loses intensity. Also, despite hearing the same melodic line more than a few times through the piece I never found it to be repetative. Catchy, dancy, good job!

Kasperl Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 If I could sum this song up with one word, that word would be intense. The whole song is just one huge rolling wall of sound. Das ist ausgezeichnet. Danke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucentas Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Really excellent work here--usually electronica this intense isn't really my thing, but I found myself totally getting into this piece. It's got real style. Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinslayer Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Now I know what you've been busy doing, totally awesome work Dain, now if only you'd get your remix album done...XD...I want your Blood Inside remix... As for this piece, Vectorman is another game I haven't played, but with your remix from the soundtrack, it makes me want to go back and play the game.

OceansAndrew Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 My Friends, the beats have been dropped. Super intense and a lot of great hooks packed in. Some of the high end was a little too brittle for my tastes, but overall the track was really nice. I love the counterpoint parts of the arrangement, and each listen revealed new parts, so as time went on, i liked it more. Awesome work.

Sir_Downunder Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 My Friends, the beats have been dropped. Oh how true you are OA... This mix is definitely hits you hard right from the start with the synth and drums, and it only gets better and more aggressive from there-on. Awesome work Beatdrop. Just plain awesome.

jintoreedwine Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I have been listening to this mix for a while, but didn't have time to post my thoughts until now. The mix is fantastic. It lives up to the awesome that is Beatdrop! Your work just keeps getting better and better . Hopefully we will hear even more from you in the future .

Martin Penwald Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 "Intense" is definitely the word I'd use to describe this remix, too. I probably wouldn't have recognized the Robin S. - Show me love influence without reading about it in the write-up, but since I know what to look for now, I can see how you used it.

K.B. Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 If adrenaline had an on-switch, this would be the trigger. Put this on for the first time over Thanksgiving in the middle of an unheard-remix binge. I promptly stopped what I was doing and set this on repeat. For upwards of three hours. I slept for more than 16 hours the next day. There may have been a correlation (more than could be accounted for by the tryptophan in the accompanying turkey binge). Now that my eyes have mostly contracted, I've given this a comparison to the source. It's all there and easily identifiable - perfect for nostalgia - but completely re-engineered and re-timed. To the former: while still evocative of the source, the sounds, the beats, and the effects (a highlight being the key-hanging/morphing effect that starts in at 0:45... chills of power down my spine) are distinctly original. And incredible. But the latter makes the remix as much as the former. The source leads from one section into another without pause. Here, for example, Beatdrop inserts the initial buildup (and layering instrumentation), and then the slowdown from 0:31 to 0:43 (with slow decay). Then the drag-out and slow buildup through 1:12. Completely re-timed, completely YES. That, along with the following let-offs and full, progressive comebacks absolutely make the piece. With a full onslaught that brings everything together at the end... and victorious decay. This is calculated retribution perfected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emunator Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 This feels a bit more accessible than some of Beatdrop's other work for some reason, but it still has all the other things that define his style - massive beats and synths, a wall-of-sound approach to mixing, and some really insane glitchy effects (the stutter at 1:12 was especially cool!) To be honest, most of your music is so loud and intense that it almost gives me a headache listening to it... but, in a good way This would feel right at home in a rave/club setting with the volume/bass pumped up to max. Killer song! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmiduke Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Punchy, effective and melodic approach to the gritty techno that beatdrop has made a signatire. While I like clean and slick techno, there's something about the 'wall of sound' combined with grittiness that works wonders with the material. The beats (of course) and the varied synth work are fantastic in this, but to single out only a few things really doesn't give it the credit it deserves. It's the culmination of everything, moreso than other types of remix, that gives this so much life. It has a sound and a pace all its own, and it's great to see that sort of continued interest in musical diversity from such seasoned veterans. As fresh and as awesome as ever.

ambient Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 This is pretty fucking awesome! Love the beats and that bass synth is soooo... dirty and in-your-face, especially in the intro. Glitching is well done too. I think the mix gets a bit overcrowded in the very last section, and I would have loved there to be more section where that awesome bass was exposed more. But this is a minor gripe. We need more of this type of stuff! Dain, you haven't posted since 2009, what's the holdup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Beatdrop is here to PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE WITH SOUND! This is one of the most badass, hyper-compressed, head-exploding tracks to EVER grace OC ReMix. This track is AWESOME. And the way Dain fleshed out the theme made me completely forget how unbelievably barebones and spartan that source tune was until I revisited it. An absolutely amazing, transformative job on this.
