I always loved this peacefull chilling song when the "game over" screen comes out, i could listen to this song for hours. That's how the idea of remixing it came. Mixing those chords with my favorite genre "Drum&Bass - Jungle" made me think to an other song of F-Zero GX that i loved "Vegas Palace" that's how i had this inspiration on 1:39. For the " Select screen opening theme" i added extra arrangement especially on the piano background which is by the way inspirated by FFXIII song "Sullya Springs". That was 2 weeks of work especially for the drum. I am sorry for my bad english. I am from France. Cordialy, Sam ---------------------- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weA_E4fE_fA&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AphJthe1NRI I'm going to start by saying that I really liked this sound. It was pretty cool to see what was done to the original to expand on it. That being said, I think the song ends up going on for too long. There were a lot of good ideas used overall, but for the last minute and a half the piece strays too far from the source. The mix could probably achieve the same effect to me if about a minute was taken out of it, and if after the very liberal source section there was a return to the source before the end. I'd love to hear this altered and sent in again! NO (resubmit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I love the percussion on this one, though the arrangement is a little uneven. There is a definite expansion, but the first half feels really conservative, and the second half really liberal. One thing that also brought this down a little for me was that it really started to drag. THe ideas are fresh, but by the time the song is done, it feels like not a lot of ground was covered. I think Deia has it right that removing a minute or so of the song would help it feeling fresher. I really like the track, but it needs a little editing to get my vote.

DarkeSword Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I do love me some dnb. I love the first half of this track. Really hits that sweet spot between jazzy and electronic; great percussion and overall vibe. I feel that later on down the line however, you sort of go off the rails a bit and get really liberal in your interpretation and eventually all semblance of the source tunes are lost. I realize that it's in the nature of the genre for a song to evolve more over time, but this may go on too long and go too far. I like what I heard, but I think some condensing and a stronger connection to the source would help. NO, resub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
