MechaFone Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 This is the kind of laid back piano lounge I could get lost in amidst the heavy smoke and clinking glasses. Well done, sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 This is the kind of laid back piano lounge I could get lost in amidst the heavy smoke and clinking glasses. Well done, sir. ^ This. Absolutely this. It's drop dead gorgeous and now my new favorite jazz piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duskvstweak Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 This is very cool stuff. I could easily see myself walking into a smoke-filled bar with the man in glasses playing this song on the piano in the corner. I also love the source a bunch and am glad to see it get some love, in a new and creative way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codebeard Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 This remix is amazing. I love the source, and I love jazz; so how could this be any better? It's going straight to my top playlist. I definitely look forward to hearing more from Alexander. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a_d Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 (edited) Heh, there's no doubt that the Russian piece is the inspiration behind the Hideo's franchise theme, they're so similar. This doesn't constitute plagiarism, I don't think, because the two themes differ enough. But, as it has been pointed out, the MGS rendition is waaaayy better. And the jazz is nice btw EDIT: I think it was plagiarism if credit wasn't given to Sviridov, as it seems it wasn't since it took everyone by surprise when the similarity was pointed out. But I don't know that it constitutes copyright infringement, since the creative works differed enough. I'm not sure, though, since, at least in the original MGS theme the whole structure seems to follow Winter Road so closely. I dunno Also, I take back that the MGS theme is waaaay better. After listening to Winter Road several times, I think it's extremely beautiful Edited September 1, 2010 by a_d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris ~ Amaterasu Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I like the atmosphere this piece creates, and I really started to enjoy it when it started picking up some pace, I'd also like to frequent this fictitious bar =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Snooze Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Ambience out the ass here. Absolutely screams of a smokey London wine bar, filled with light chatter, fine cigars, and the clinking of glasses, set against a wood-paneled backdrop. Oh, yes, I dig. I really hope Mr. Bornstein keeps it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutritious Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Solid stuff here. Good arrangement ideas here. Definitely would like to see you push the envelope more . Looking forward to hearing more from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I think the really basic drums add a ton of the character to this mix, with the lazy hisses early on, and some nice rhythms for the second half. Doing the usually dramatic theme in such a chill way is pretty inspiring though, makes me think about a lot of other melodies in ways I haven't before.

docnano Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I love this kind of jazz, and this is one of my favorite remixes in recent months. I wasn't sure it would work for this theme, but I think you pulled it off. The harmonic choices were good, the tone warm and fuzzy, the development of the theme nice. I'd like to hear that melodic line get a little thicker and/or more ornamented in places. But overall very nicely done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Sounds Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 OverClocked ReMix does not condone smoking snakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nugzta Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Why in 128 kbps? On the note, I love this rendition, well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thin Crust Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Snake can just get cloned again Actually, no he can't. Seems that his telomerase was inactivated a little too early in utero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Penwald Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Definitely going on my jazzy remix playlist. The beginning (i.e. until 1:19) is a little rough around the edges, but everything is forgotten and forgiven once the main melody kicks in. Very smooth and relaxed. Exactly how I like it.

Crulex Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Didn't really feel much of anything until the music really kicks in about 1:20. After that, it was like someone woke up and picked it up. Very jazzy and cool, but not exactly my kind of jazz. Still, aside from the slow start, I dug this ReMix a bit more than I thought I would. Not bad at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythezza Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 This is just so lovely. Goosebumps start to finish. There needs to be a spin-off to OCR that's just jazz and blues remixes. (Although, yes, why 128 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesternZypher Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Snake had too few peaceful breaks like this: but I' sure the Wise Warrior would have fully savored each and every moment of such a musical respite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ad.mixx Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I enjoyed this one when it first came out, and still do. The performances are nice in this one, and the source chosen is complimented in this style. The recordings are very retro, and it kind of feels like you applied every recording technique that was used back in the jazzy days here. It of course sounds a little clearer, but still, great job on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
