LuigiFan Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Not gonna lie, this mix is darned funky! I really enjoy it, just like I do all of Morse's stuff. One thing that I'm not sure whether it's good or bad but I have to say it - I kinda forgot halfway through that I was listening to an Ice Cap ReMix. I don't know if that means it's too drastically different from the source, or if that means your reinterpretation of it is so good that it doesn't matter. At any rate, it's still an excellent song!

Antipode Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 YES. This track is HOT. The bassline kills me, and you have a masterful sense of putting every little beat in just the right place to jam. You're better than ever and each of these just leaves me craving more. Honestly these extended jam tracks you've done like this and Bumpin' are some of my favorites of the site.

Grawr Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 I downloaded this remix but I am afraid to hit play. Ice Cap + Joshua Morse = ????? Can the universe contain this? I'm pretty sure explosions are going to be involved. Wonderful explosions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillRock Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 I like 80's music. By default I should love this to bits and I do Really tasteful take on this source, solid production, funky groove, and sounds appropeiately like Micheal Jackson in some places. In other words, awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafydd Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 There's some really strange chords around 1:10-1:30 or so, but strangely enough, they work. Amazing production here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorgMan Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Fascinating... Too many years ago the original blew me off my socks and made me wonder if there were such people who remixed this stuff, only to discover when I finally had internet access that this tune was the most remixed / hated of them all... But this, this is magic. The retro in the title isn't a lame joke, it's real and it's absolutely stunning. Made of win, awesomess and with epic sprinkled on top Now I am wondering, though, when we'll get an Ice Cap mix a la The Baseballs. That would be pure awesomeness...

Level 99 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Really tasteful take on this source, solid production, funky groove, and sounds appropeiately like Micheal Jackson in some places. In other words, awesome Pretty accurately sums it up. It's far different enough to be funky fresh, even though there are times where I definitely feel like connection to source might be stretching, but considering the style, that's entirely appropriate. Shows how far one can go with Ice Cap while still keeping it Ice Cap, if that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metaphist Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Morse can do no evil. This needs to be played at the next bboy jam for the poppers to get down to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Gets a bit off track of the Ice Cap theme for some way extended solos, but I was generally jammin, so i'm not too put out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Penwald Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Definitely nailed the 80's sound. The very beginning with the ultra-in-your-face synth (0:00-0:15) is kinda grating IMO, but once there's more going on, this particular synth isn't as disruptive, though it still rubs me the wrong way. Other than that, pretty awesome arrangement. Nice breakdown starting around 1:30; same goes for the solo around 2:30. Actually, all the breakdowns and solos are frigging sweet.

Mr Azar Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Very slick, and very laid back. I love it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirby Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Showed this to my friend, and he thought it was Michael Jackson. Great work once again by JM. ^.^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holy Land Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 The company never officially confirmed it (as far as I'm aware), but some people that worked on the game and at Sega said in a few interviews that he did contribute. Now, this mix here is irresistible. Great work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner3D Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 This is a funky song and the fact that the source material is mellow and open, makes for an interesting mix The chords or note groups or whatever you call them that start the song and go throughout are a little bit discordant. Maybe that is just the genre, I don't think I have listened to this genre before. Anyway I do like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crulex Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Oh, yeah! Now this is funky and amazing fitting for the "retro" part of the title. The very beginning intro is a bit...esh, but after that it becomes a groovy ride that you hate to see stop. The breakdown in the middle was just too sweet and this is probably the most different version of this theme that I've ever heard. Always a good thing when you can take an arguably over mixed tune and bring something new to the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Doom Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I denfinitely didn't expect to hear such take on da classic Ice Cap - groovy and funky, hot and toe-tapping, but without any bit of ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
