Liontamer Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Definitely one of the best source tunes from the soundtrack, so this was a treat. Nice work, bros! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nase Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Awesome feat! I guess sometimes you just need some balls to approach icons like normal if talented people (that they often enough turn out to be), and wonderful things can happen. Enjoyed the track, quite faithful to the game's feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmony Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Beautiful work guys! It flows so cleanly from start to finish and it's one of those pieces that make me want to drop what I'm doing, open up SONAR, load up my favorite synth and just jam. Great composition and rearrangement value, but I'm most impressed with the mixing a mastering. The highs are silky smooth without sounding dull, and the lows--even with that active bass line and full kick--are well defined and easy on the ears. Bottom line: you can crank the volume on this baby and it only gets better! Congrats on a first for OCR and another great mix added to the pile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackPanther Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 This was great, good job on the collab. I'll be listenin to this for a while =). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zom-B Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I'm glad I actually read the email about this, Deus Ex has brilliant music and this collaboration is just as good. Loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Wolf Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I'll listen to the mix shortly, but I gotta say... I think Hinson has a new handle. Big Giant Jimmy. That's a nickname worth writing home about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucentas Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Mm, me likey. A very deep, polished piece that remains interesting throughout. Great job, both of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxxAndrew Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Yeah its polished, equalization wise, and it has has a couple cool parts. Gets a little too full nearing the center of the track, being overwhelmed by electronic drum or instrument sounds. The biggest problems, for me, were the bass drum and synthesized soloing. I like electronic, but these features came off a little to rave-like for me. (That's if you don't argue the difference between electronic and rave music.) Seems to me like the sheet music was negotiated over the internet. The end is bad ass though. I wish you would make a theme based off the sound of the last core part of the song. The last change that is purely the main title theme. Sorry if I am a bit critical, the game it is from is probably my all time favorite game, even with all the latest advances in gaming. Also, this was probably my least favorite theme within the whole game. I prefer the Paris Cathedral theme. If someone gets me the sheet music to that or the title theme, I'll remix it up.

fil_razorback Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Oh god, this track is my favorite one from the Deus Ex Soundtrack and I was listening to it just the other day. I'm the happiest man in the world with this ReMix. Thank you =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gario Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I can't believe it - Dues Ex is getting some hardcore love on this site, and it's none other than BGC that's doing it (oh, and that other guy... Alex or something ). I am not kidding - ever since my CD was lost I've been heartbroken, so two weeks ago I downloaded it off of a torrent site (I owned the game - it's cool), and have been playing it ever since (last night, even - was up until 2:00am playing the damn thing). I've been wondering why the hell no one remixed any of the tunage on this site yet and was going to take a stab or two at it myself. Maybe I still will (just not the Hong Kong tune, now that this is up ). Oh, the mix was great, by the way - excellent collab, you two. Gotta love those voice clips in the beginning and the electronica love throughout . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunther Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Oh great one! This reminds me there is a Deus Ex Soundtrack out there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outworlder Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Hmm... a Remix of my favorite track in one of my sall-time favorite game, by one my favorite remixers and one of my favorite game composers... it doesn't get much better than that. Nothing really technical to say, I really do like this a lot... though I think I still prefer the smooth, minimalistic style of the original enhanced "OSPF" version.

OverCoat Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Amazing Also, clever name, too. Siren is what Brandon went by back in his tracking days :3 [or is he still tracking? I should read the interview!] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaleb.G Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I wanted to point out that, in addition to The Synapse, this mix has some prevalent use of the Hong Kong dialogue music (which is not on the GotY soundtrack). Of course, the main Deus Ex theme is present as well. Anyway, nice work, you two. =} P.S. Alex is da bomb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antignition Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I've already listened to this song more than any mix on this site in the last year. The two of you did a fantastic job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Guru Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I've never played Deus Ex, nor have I heard this song, but I really like it! I'll be throwing it into my OCR playlist immediately! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JP_Wright Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Thank you so much for this excellent remix. The fact that an established and celebrated composer chose to work with a remixer from OCR simply because he felt the idea had merit, that the fans of OCR -- of Video game music in general -- were worthy of his time and effort, well, that's pretty special. Thanks again. The work on this track is excellent and has turned me onto Alex's even more. Here's hoping to more composer-remixer collaborations in the future!
