djpretzel Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Hiya, Forgot to submit this one, there you go. It's from NES's Tombs and Treasures by Miyamo Shant. -- Eric E. Hache (EgM) http://gamemusic.ca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 http://www.zophar.net/nsf/tombsa~1.zip - NSF Track 19 A lot of the NSF tracks for this game are pretty badass. Any lurkers/mixers reading this decision who like NSFs should seriously pick this soundtrack up. Onto the mix, this isn't much beyond the original in a slightly different format (including the repetitive structure of the source), though a decent effort is made to change the texture of the source tune with this cover. The electric & acoustic guitars sounded hot in tandem but only lasted for the first 30 seconds, which was unfortunate enough that I feel inclined to use this emoticon . I really hate to say this, especially because I know it's not gonna happen with an older piece like this, but I'd have recommended doing something to make the stock percussion either more engaging or at least placed in a less audible supporting role, because it drags the piece down and detracts from the lead, in my opinion. Along with that, there seriously needs to be some variation within the track via rearrangement. There aren't any unique ideas here besides changing the instrumentation to a mellower feel, and that's a shame when a source tune like this could go places. Damn...and Eric is cool as hell too.

Protricity Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 I recognize skill and quality. This mix has both. Lacks substance though. Improves on the original only slightly. Isn't much more than a cover. I say make it twice as long, and more interesting. Excellent playing/quality though. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 Summed up: pretty much a cover of the oringal, albeit played very nicely. It's just that it's too repetitive; it doesn't do anything that the original doesn't do. Lets get a guitar solo in there man! NO. Work on and resubmit.

analoq Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 this sounds very, very nice. but sadly using the term 'cover' to describe this would not be an abuse or prostitution of the word. no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
