Chris McGee Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Ok, I'm listening... ah, very cool... samples aren't great, but the arrangement is so damn cool! We need more honky-tonk mixes! Ok, this definately deserves to be the release mix of ocr4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piejacked! Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Ah, Mazedude, life of the OCR party. Yep, he certainly understands that music is supposed to be fun! Great remix of a low-key NES classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash the Stampede Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Ah, yet another classic absent from OCR for too long!! Excellent job with the mallet percussion/piano intervals, and the melody change at 1'47 ties in perfectly! Very nice job with a tune that I was afraid had been forgotten!

The Instrument of GAWD Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Lovely. I'm digging this tune. Sorta reminds me of BGM for a bar (MJQ, I think it was) in Shenmue. Also, it might be my imagination but there's a Saxophone part in there that sounds like it's saying "baby got back". Like I said, I dig it.

ella guro Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 I was a little dissapointed by this - not really for any reasons arrangementwise or really anything technical. Mazedude has essentially perfected his sound and does it very well. I was mainly dissapointed that most of Mazedude's other mixes that feature pretty complex soundscapes, and in comparison, this seems dulled down. It's not a bad mix by any means - it's a fun mix, like a lot of the stuff Mazedude does, and it's pulled off pretty well. I just feel like he went on autopilot on here instead of putting his usual attention to detail into this. In the end, it still results in a pretty enjoyable piece of music - but it's not nearly as fulfilling as even some of his earlier "fun" mixes.

Elex Synn Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 La-la-la da-da-da la-la-la da-da-da Makes me wanna go to a sock hop. Granted that was more my grandma generation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RimFrost the Tourianist Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Lovely lovely and lovely again ! It makes me wanna pick up the game and collect all the veggies again before jumping on the condor's claws mmmm. 80's nostalgia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil1450 Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Whoa, not enough replies for how awesome this song is. Mazedude, you rock. This mix is right up there with the Plok Title Jam. If in the mood (and I usually am) I'll put the song on loop and start tapping away. Someone earlier said something about the samples, but I'd say they fit perfectly. Love everything about this mix.

Tex Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Wow! Old rock melody! I liked. But this music is very old. That depressive thing... I heard this music millions of times. ARRIVES!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bummer Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 This remix was so freaking AWESOME! It´s clearly funny, got alot of speed, and the spirit of the more older but not useless musicstyles. To not make a fool of myself, I will not try to guess from with age, but as I said: this mix is awesome, a definite proof why Mazedude is an excellent remixer. The marimba handled the melody with ease, the dark piano gave it some style to it, accompanied with an extra band with trumpets and other stuff making this an remix that is worth your attention and downloading abilities. I haven´t myself played the game as much, but this sure convinces me. #800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I have to admit when I saw the game was Ice Climber, I was expecting this to kindof suck. Mazedude's name added to it gave me some confidence that it'd be a creative version of a bad song, but actually hearing it, I am super impressed and charmed by it. Shame on me for my game-bias. ;_; I completely disagree with the guy who called this one dulled down (and would even go so far as to call him a n00b), as this one is not only full of interesting flourishes and solos, breakdowns and additional sections, that if this is "Mazedude on autopilot", the rest of us should just give up on music forever. Some of the samples could be better, but they are all used very well, and tastefully, as well as to their strengths. I wish the marimba solo didn't sound as mechanical as it did, but minor issues in an otherwise stellar mix. Super recommended; don't be like me and dismiss it just because it's Ice Climber.

42 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Awesome mix. I love that boogie-woogie piano in the background, very nice. This is just a plain and simple fun mix. Very cool and an absolute must download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Downunder Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Hahaha, awesome. This mix is so upbeat and fun, it's impossible for me to not crack a smile and do the djp. I could go on and say that the some of the samples are a little rough, but they're so well put together, that I can't complain at all. Get it, and you won't regret it at all.

Emunator Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 This is so completely different from everything I've heard from Mazedude, I wouldn't have guessed it was his music in a million years! I dunno what's supposedly wrong with the source tune, I never had any problems with it and I actually enjoyed the Smash Bros. rendition of the tune immensely. However, this is on a whole another level. The complexity of the piano as well as all the other extra instruments involved really create something that blows your hair back as you listen to it. Definitely not what I expected from Mazedude but it's a perfect fit for the Ice Climber music! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Wow, this is one sexy remix. Amazing piano work, I loved everything about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Doom Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Man, Mazedude never stops surprising! I expected to hear anything but such sick jazz mix. The piano & vibraphone just shine in this mix, they're extremely awesome. And the rest of instrumentation create a very nice backing. So it turns out this mix is a standout piece of music. But did you really expected anything else from Chris? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nostalvania Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Ha, this is cool! It's like boogie woogie/rock'n roll mixed with electronic music. The piano sequencing is maybe a bit unrealistic, but the writing is great. It sounds so simple, but when you listen closely, you can here that there is actually some creative and detailed writing going on. Fun ReMix with a lot of charm.
