djpretzel Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 I liked it quite a bit. Certainly DOES involve arrangement. -djp Hello! Game: Super Castlevania IV Name of Remix: Into the Corridor of Shadows Remixer: Nigel Simmons Link: Thank you very much!
GrayLightning Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 Nigel has finally done it. This is the work I knew you could do. Very fluid medley of cave and library theme. Amazing orchestration, instrumentation and production. Usage of articulations like trills are a nice touch. Great arrangement too. Easily some of the finest orchestration we've heard submitted. Extremely impressive and authentic. YES
Digital Coma Posted July 6, 2004 Posted July 6, 2004 I'm still not a fan of Nigel's fluff and stuff generic orchestral composing, but I recognize a solid rearrangement and an expensive soundbank when I hear one. Usually a good combination. At least he's moved beyond transcribing the originals mostly note for note. Moving. YES
danny B Posted July 6, 2004 Posted July 6, 2004 It's got dynamics. It's got solid utilization of most the sounds of the orchestra. It's got an effective, cinematic flair. It's a bit sloppy during some of the more...ornate sections. It's got my vote. YES -D It's good to hear high quality samples actually being used to ARRANGE, and not just transcribe.
Vig Posted July 6, 2004 Posted July 6, 2004 a solid, varied and interesting arrangmenet, with some of the most believable winds i've heard. very nice. YES
