Master_Yoshi Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I love how you've now twice taken a theme so ingrained in my conciousness as having some specific mood, and made it something much more subdued, and yet equally awesome. I reference of course your FFIV Calbrena mix. Granted, you do go up-tempo, but really the intro section is what seals it for me. Keep it up, we need more mixes on the site that completely detract from what we expect as far as mood and pacing are concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 One of my favorite Stevosongs, I'd totally have given into the temptation of adding castanets and a bunch of hand percussion that the track wouldn't need, but he's kept it pristine with just guitars and interesting rhythmic and harmonic choices. This song is like a level up! Only 95 levels to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binarynova Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I'm an instrumental acoustic guitar nut. So when I saw on my Facebook page the words "Mega" "Man" "Acoustic" "Guitar" you can bet I clicked on that link as fast as my mouse would let me. I didn't see this coming at ALL. Solo acoustic guitar. No surprise. This track is amazing! One of my favorite OCRemixes hands down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avaris Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Congrats on your first solo mix posted homes! This is def one my favorite two remixes from you. This is a mix with and excellent personal touch added to it that doesn't feel forced or awkward in any way. Keep it up Steven! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyril the Wolf Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Great scott. I mean... Great STEVO!!!! This really is epic. Like. not epic like Might of Baron, but epic like "Wow, that's just acoustic guitar" epic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tables Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 It's always fun to see a WIP make it to the real site. I always liked this remix, and I'm glad to see it here. It's so damn mellow! More acoustic remixes please haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafydd Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 (edited) Wow. I love the recording quality as much as the actual ReMix. What kind of mic/gear were you using? Edited May 27, 2010 by Dafydd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duskvstweak Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I love the description you gave this song. Now, all I can think during this song is an old, worn-down factory with a lone robot master. The take on this tune is great and love the new interpretation the acoustic sound gives it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROTO·DOME Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Loved this since it was in the WIP forums. Gotta say man, I didn't think the acoustic style would work on a source like this but you just pull it off so well. Love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantasia Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 This is a great track. Great sound quality. You must have a really good guitar, and recording equipment for that matter. Personally I found the strumming a bit loud compared to the melodic content in the end. That's my only complaint about this mix. The first half is my favorite. Great use of four guitars. I will definately make something like this in the future. You my friend are an inspiration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coder12 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 maan.. I downloaded this ages ago it seems like, I *love* what you've done here ... it's simply amazerful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulinEther Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I've had this since you posted it in the WIP forums. I'm a sucker for acoustic guitar(s) and Mega Man, so this was a no-brainer for me. The slower section takes some of the edge off of Metal Man and reveals a soft heart inside his chassis. It makes me pensive. But I really want to hear the second, faster section expanded upon in some sort of Latin-style take on Metal Man - replete with percussion, accompaniment like brass/bass (I'm thinking El Legarto), maybe vocals even. It makes me wonder if this woulda worked better as two separate pieces, but I'm happy with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obtuse Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 This is so bad ass stevo. Its so smooth and rocking. I love the way the guitar is so present. Good call on not adding percussion. Your rhythm is very solid on this. Keep making great music man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flare4War Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I really like this one. Perhaps one of the best acoustic arrangements I've heard. Excellent work Stevo. Don't get your beard caught in those guitar strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swann Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Yay! This one's been on my iPod since it's days in the wip forum, so it's no wonder I enjoy this version even more so. Awesome stuff right here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luhny Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 This is one of the most amazing accoustic guitar tracks I've heard in a long time. Let alone a great remix of a classic tune. Thank you for sharing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKrow Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 I can really appreciate the work you put into the guitar parts Stevo, the left and right harmony on the rhythm is spectacular, along with the lead sounding very cleanly done. I'm sure it's not as easy as it may sound. I've always wanted to see something like in a hard-rock / metal fashion as it would also be amazing, no doubt. Maybe that should be the next style you work on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostChronos Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 This is new age-y. I love this. Acoustic guitar, ahh, relaxation to my soul. Hearing this reminds me, go here. Thank me later. http://www.echoes.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project R2K Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Seeing the source tune and remixer, I thought I was in for some kick-ass Mega Man metal. Imagine my surprise. Pleasant surprise, that is. We already know L99 can rock hard, now we get to see his softer more accoustic side. Like I said, pleasantly surprised. And loving it! Keep up the good guit work.

Mirby Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 This is an epic track. Beautifully done acoustic rendition here. I also like it because I figured out the meaning behind the title, and L99 congratulated me for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
