Back on the Sonic remixes, this is my spin (as requested) on the Star Light Zone, remembered for its dreamy soundscapes and rollercoaster level designs. Hope you guys enjoy my little update

It's alright I guess, I do find some of the parts that sound like the stuff near 0:26 sound a bit annoying to me...

[BorgMan]

You enter the track without any kind of buildup; you're just thrown into it. That makes it hard to get used to it. That piece at 0:26 is... ugly. Overall you've thrown in a LOT of different instruments, making the whole track feel chaotic and incohesive. This sounds more like a Casino Night-like rendition than the nice serenity of Starlight Zone. IMHO, not such a good thing...

[Capt. Stupidity]

The sounds you got going are great. They are very easy on the ears. But, you don't really change it up much. You have the same track with a slight curveball thrown in there. It's labeled as a WIP so I assume you're still working on it. Try to build up an intro and change up the song to make it yours.

I honestly don't see the problem. I think it sounds gret

[Cam3leon]

Well I feel where most of y'all are coming from. The fact is I envisioned this as more of an arrangement than a full-on remix, explaining the immediate intro and lack of change. Although I wanted to go for a harder, techno sound than the more tranquil original. I felt that it's been done too many times and I wanted to emphasize the rollercoaster elements of the Zone.

But yeah, I do intend to pepper more variety into the song, as well as integrate the counter melody better. I honestly didn't think the transition was THAT bad at first, but I'll definitely revisit that and tweak it as necessary. Thanks for the feedback though!
