djpretzel Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Email sub file Zoids_It's_a_Waste_of_Time_OC_ReMix.mp3 - like the lead here, very E.L.O. - djp Yet again I'm trying with a C64 remix. This is my chill out mix. It's great for wasting your life spending empty days mourning the loss of your girlfriend....or something like that.

Liontamer Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 http://exotica.fix.no/tunes/archive/C64Music/Hubbard_Rob/Zoids.sid - Subtune 1/3 The SID lasts about 3:45 if you guys wanna listen to it the whole way through before it repeats. Basically a cover at a slightly faster tempo. I'd say submit it to R:K:O instead. This had the same problem I also had with your previous submission from Thrust. The structure was the same for the most part, and the arrangement was too conservative. You changed up the feel a little bit compared to the source and presented some new ideas in places, but this was still basically a cover. That doesn't mean it's a crappy track, but there aren't many creative liberties taken here. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Coma Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 I think making a chillout mix takes more than decreasing the tempo and changing some samples. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Not enough arrangement; this follows the original much too closely. Nice texture though. Too bad. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayLightning Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 There's minimal arrangement, there's some nice things going on here too. I do like the pad work. But there's not much creativity in either the arrangement or production/design work. I do like the drumwork, it's understated and certainly an improvement over the original. The mix is an improvement over the original. I personally didn't care much for the chiptune-ish sounding section here. It kind of sounded out of place and ruined the chillout experience for me. Pretty decent, but not enough in various mentioned categories. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
