anosou Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Nekofrog's a pile of sex. This is fantastic. Quote
Ashamee Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 I'd like to take a quick moment to point out that this piece, before submitting, was originally 7:30 and some change, but I had to edit that down for size limits. I dunno if I have the original 7:30 piece, and I think the cut down version is actually a bit better. Definitely excited this went up so fast. Huzzah! Edit: Whoops! Neko posting on Ash's account. Forgot to log out! Quote
HitoriJaNai Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 You get my stamp of approval. Especially because the awesomeness of the J-E-N-O-V-A theme is completely shown for its full potential and I loved the original already. Oh, and of course, Omen is awesome too. The mesh is perfect. Quote
Alexis Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Holy crap, this is awesome. I think I like this better than the Black Mages version of J-E-N-O-V-A. Also, Omen fits really well into this mix. Nicely done. Quote
Desert Guru Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 I checked this remix out, completely forgetting which track J.E.N.O.V.A was. The first five seconds were a familiar: "oh hey, I always loved this track", then the guitars hit and my jaw hit the floor. One of the best remixes I've seen on this site in a long time. Quote
Sir_Downunder Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Oh God this is face-meltingly awesome. Quote
Tensei Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Why is this softer than the WIP version that I did the drums for, yet it sounds way more compressed/squashed? Lern2production (jk I <3 this) Quote
metalsnakejuice Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Hell yeah, this rocks my socks off. Quote
big giant circles Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Look at Justin with another DP. *sniff* Our little boy is growing up... This mix is pretty sick, all 6 and a half minutes of it. That should speak for itself. Quote
OceansAndrew Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 The production is a little smooshed, and a few weird transitions, but this seriously rocks. The rhythm playing is especially good, with the super-tight gallops, and I love the juxtaposition of the hard chugs and the more serene section about 3/4 through. Also props for beating me to the punch on having a timpani in a metal song. I was thinking a few weeks back how metal timpanis are. \m/ Quote
TheKrow Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 It's nice to know I can always count on Neko to feed my hunger for metal arrangements here on OCR. Never a let down. Quote
JadeAuto Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 Neko, this kicks all kinds of ass. Love it. This goes on my 'rock out' playlist instantly. Quote
Emunator Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Pretty much what I've come to expect from Neko - this doesn't break any new ground like his original work did for me, but it's still solid and highly enjoyable. I agree with OA that a few transitions threw me off, especially the one near the beginning where everything except the muted guitar completely fell out - that would have been better if you boosted the guitar volume just a tad. The segment right before the end really felt like it was leading up to an insane solo and, unfortunately, this didn't deliver. All in all, though, this is still very enjoyable and a great take on a classic theme! Quote
dariunas Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Why is this softer than the WIP version that I did the drums for, yet it sounds way more compressed/squashed? Lern2production(jk I <3 this) Probably used multi-band compression? The guitar itself is also given plenty of space in the mix and has a 'soft' sound too, so that helps from the off... Quote
jintoreedwine Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Great mix . I love the Jenova theme and really enjoy your guitar work in this mix. Hopefully we will hear more from you! Quote
Nekofrog Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 well duh i only have about a bajillion things in the queue Quote
Nobbynob Littlun Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Cool song, but I felt like there were some really cool stuff in there - I could swear there's timpanis in there - that are just swallowed up by the chunky distorted guitars. Bells, pianos, strings, acoustic guitars... they're a little hard to pick up. Now, I'd say that the chunky distorted guitars are essential to the mood, but they're too far in the foreground; they don't need to be brought so far forward for us to pick up on them, but the other stuff is more subtle, and could use some help in being made apparent. If that makes sense. Quote
Martin Penwald Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 As usual, Neko wastes no time and gets to the meat almost immediately, i.e. rocks out from the very beginning. I used to have some issues with the sound of the guitar in Nekofrog's remixes, but in this one, at least for the most part, it sounds fine to me. The part starting at ~2:40 is the only one where the guitar grates on my nerves. Quote
Flare4War Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 This is one of my favorite tracks from the game so this remix makes me happy. Very, very well done. Quote
jcbq Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 its remarkably well done! to me it would fit well when your manage to get to the crater and are fighting it Quote
Yugoslak Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Can someone point me in the direction of more remixes similar to this? I love these metal/industrial styles, or whatever you wanna call it. This one though, is one of the best remixes I've heard, and I've heard quite a few. Quote
