MechaFone Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Very nice! This theme has been done over and over, and there isn't a lot to cover here, at least in this version of the source material. But this makes for a great blast of cultural experimentation, and it's well done, so kudos! Quote
south pacific islander Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 I didn't even fully know that it was a russian folk song to begin with. When I knew of this, I listened it for the first/second time I truely got a East European spirit with the song. It was well done and exotic to my ears. It is very well done and you truely brought the songs roots out in this mix. Quote
Bahamut Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Vurez's diversity of styles continues to surprise me. Hard not to like this ethnic & fun take on the famous source. Quote
Chernabogue Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Vurez is the real master of ethnic mixes! I will agree with Bahamut, you can't not love this one: it is fun and very well executed, and the tune is just cool! Very nice job, Vurez! Quote
SwordBreaker Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Been a follower of Vurez before his OCR submissions. There was this awesome Bright Man rock remix he had awhile back, from VGMix was it? Anyway, I declare this to be the best Tetris remix ever! Sounds so authentic to Russian folk songs despite me not being a big wiz of those. It just feels Russian for some reason. Reminds me of Smash Bros' Brawl Type B's remix. This one is just as good, too. Keep on rocking, Vurez. Quote
Nova713 Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 OMG! Positively delightful. What a fun remix. I walked away after hearing this with a big smile on my face. Bravo! Quote
Skinner3D Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Agreed with South Pacific Islander. This is a what?!!!!........ I was reading the introduction to this piece and was thinking "Uhm this is video game music. What in the world is DJP going on about?" So much for knowing my vgm. I feel dumb, but in the same moment I think it totally awesome to learn what this really is. Anyway, the 'Tetris' song is amazing to start with and Vurez takes it too a whole new level. I think I have all the remixes of this song that this site has put out. Thank you OCR staff for canonizing this song. Quote
Sir_NutS Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Wow. Absolutely loved this. The video is really well done too. The folk vibe in this mix is just so authentic. Quote
ZidaRose Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 I certainly do get to enjoy a wide variety of music. Considering the traditional music used in Tetris, it is only fitting for it to receive such treatment as this and have it be that grooving. Quote
psychowolf Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Ahh tetris... the only game my mum can stand to even look at and play This mix is a glory to behold, It fits so well that if they made a remake of tetris today i would EXPECT this to be one of the main themes. well done Vurez When i heard this it made me smile even tho i could never play tetris (i was terrible at thinking fast) This mix made me want to try doing the russian leg kicking dance for some reason. @.@ Quote
luhny Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 I think it is an artform itself to make a remix to a video game tune that has practically "seen it all" and even so make it stand out or at least interesting enough to listen to. I cannot count how many tetris remixes I have heard so far, but this particular one catches my interest with excellent instrumentation. All the counter melodies and little enhancements give this original russian folk song a depth that I have not heard before. And while there is so much going on in the remix to pay attention to, it still stays honest to itself and the original composition. Kudos, thumbs up and thanks alot for sharing this. Quote
Martin Penwald Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Instrumentation is most wonderful. Really has that certain, hard to describe "authentic" feeling to it. Funnily enough, the first few seconds of the main melody (around 0:40) give me a Greek vibe. Quote
Crulex Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Sounds amazingly real to me! I love how the tempo changes over the course of the ReMix, almost like it's matching the feeling of the game as it progresses. One of the best arranged Tetris ReMixes I've heard, and being done in folk style just made it even more official. Sweet stuff. Quote
Guifrog Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 HOOMPA BOOMBA YOOMPA LOOMPA RUMBA POLKA BAR-BE-CUE \O/ Y'know, I like it! Quote
Necrox Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Sweet stuff, the drums groovy. Great instrumentation choices; there is a lot of fun noise here. Great job working with the melody, just stellar. The slowdown after the frantic accelerando was very nice. Awesome mix. Quote
