Song Title: Protect Your Island (Remix of Dragon Roost (WindWaker)

(Yeah it has the style of the Braveheart RMX)

It should be noted that the Braveheart remix he's referring to is this:

An issue we may want to keep in mind here is that does this remix really show the proficiency of the arranger in adapting Dragon Roost Isle to the style of the Braveheart remix (for a YES vote), or does it show that the remixer was unoriginal in simply taking the sounds and style of the Braveheart remix and applying it to Dragon Roost Isle(for a NO vote).

I'm leaning towards the latter, but I'll have to listen again.

I'm going to say NO. For me, it really doesn't show a lot of personality being brought to the mix; the song is contstructed exactly like the Braveheart remix, and the middle section really doesn't seem to have a lot to do with the source material.

So like, as per what darkesword said, I think its a pretty significant problem that this song sounds exactly the same as the braveheart remix. Hell, the chords are the same, and the lead is slightly different.

Even if that were not a problem here, this song ends up being straight forward techno boomtish with virtually no arrangement. However, I do like the intro.

NO

[Malcos]

This sounds good, but there's not a lot of rearrangement. It's like a template, and coupled with the fact that this is similar to the braveheart mix,

NO

Don't forget there is more than one winning formula. You must find your own style.

[Vig]

Same.

NO
