Damia Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 If you like Metal and guitars this is the song for you... unfortunately it has a little too much screaming guitar for me. Nice, just not for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 One mixture of RPG music with Rock. Some times had used this idea. But not with high quality. In compensation is good to hearing this crazy melody. Okay, nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 This is indeed wicked. Nobody would know this more than I would. This one is going into the favorites list. Congrats for breathing more life, or in this case, more death into a game that was getting a little tiresome to hear remixes of. It'll definitely spice up my playlist. THANK YOU.

Demonicmaster Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I felt compelled to comment on this piece in that it is one of the best I have heard in a while. I am a product of the 80's in a manner of speaking and hearing the guitar/metal brought back many memories. Awesome mix, now if only someone can do that to Cyan's theme I would be in heaven. Also before anyone comments yes I did request it, a few times, but I know everyone does what they want and I certainly can't do it so I am not going to get belligerent about it. I just have to bide my time and pray for someone to hear my plea. :hint: :hint: :just kidding: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadosho Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Who doesnt like something a lil dark once and awhile? "Dancing Mad" goes that path, as some of the tracks from that installment. This is the boss theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tone Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 The guitaring throughout the entire piece is great and yes, the solo is great too. We need more songs like this. I am a hardcore guitar fan. And I think by you doing this piece, you made a lot of other people guitar fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ella guro Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 This suffers from some mixing problems and a fairly weak percussion part that hinders some of the development of the arrangement by the occasionally awkward timing. Despite that, the energy and accuracy of the guitar playing and soloing really shine. The tone is a bit lo-fi, but it seems to be put to good use, and the layering on the guitars works really well. That solo at 2:36 kicks ass. Good work. I just wish this was re-mixed with a different percussion part... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPacaud Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Thanks everyone for the great comments ! Adhesive, what exactly did you find weak about the percussion part ? I'm interested in hearing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboPanda Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I listened to this song this afternoon and absolutely adored it. I've had enough of orchestral offal permeate its way through this once-glorious remix site. I thought your arrangement went particularly well, considering that the song is quite difficult to handle. I adore the guitar work - not overdone, not screechy, and it has just the right tone to match the song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ella guro Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Adhesive, what exactly did you find weak about the percussion part ? I'm interested in hearing more. I think some of it is a matter of opinion, because the drums are kind of dry when compared to the effects-laded guitars (the way it's mixed doesn't really mesh well with me). The part works well when doing the faster runs, but it's pretty sparse and mechanical in other places and the stops and starts that sync with the rhythm guitar like at 1:04 just feel awkward.

Hyouryu Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 it's... interesting. I usually don't listen to anything with this much distorted guitar, but it's great to hear something like this ever so often. I know it'll drive my dad insane, and that's good enough for me!

DarkFrog Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Definitely a very interesting song to listen to a few times. While not the sort of thing I'd add to my OCR collection, mainly because I can not envision programming while listening to this, it's definitely the sort of thing I still appreciate running through half a dozen times or so. My lack of familiarity with the source work may also be part of this, since there are definitely some songs I've kept more out of nastalgia than anything else. Then again, there are plently of songs I was initially repelled by, such as Megaman X Brainsick Metal and Dragon View Apocryphal, that I just simply became addicted to after giving them a few dozen runs to make up my mind. (Protricity and aluminum, if that's a crude way of putting it, I apologize in advance) Actually... this song kind of reminds me of Plok at around 4:15. (hehe, such a far out soundtrack) Oh, and that's an acoustic guitar at around 4:50, right? Either way, it's a nice touch, helps avoid an abrupt ending, somewhat sobering I suppose. Great work!

RimFrost the Tourianist Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 I had this amazing metal piece on repeat like 10 times or so before i broke free of the wonder spell There were times during the solos that i stopped and thought "Jimi Hendrix, you had much to learn!" i mean i rarely hear solos like these even these days. Otherwise it's a somewhat solitary, dissonant and utterly brilliant masterpiece metal song . Go and download it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strife. Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Very heavy, with some pretty good rips. I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artificial_AI Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 When the lead guitar got up to the higher notes, it seemed like some of them were somewhere between a 1/4 to an 1/8th step off-key. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but either way, its not a big deal. It's just for someone such as myself who frequently checks/adjusts his guitar's intonation, these sorts of things pop up on my radar. Overall its neat, but I dont like how at some parts you seem to have the drums, rhythm guitar, and lead guitar all doing their own thing at once. This alone isn't always a problem, but when you throw chromatics into it, its distracting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucid Faia Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 I don't like this remix at all. It is very good playing, but the arrangement and the sound the guitar makes leave something to be desired. There are good ways to make a guitar sound "evil," but this isn't one of them. In the end, though it's not my taste, this is a decent remix, though it doesn't do Uematsu's masterpiece justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPacaud Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Well, I find it kinda rude to post something like that without ever mentionning what exactly you didn't like. The thing is, maybe I'd like to improve on this arrangement's weaknesses for my future ones, but with this post you're not helping me at all ! What is it about the guitars and the arrangement that you didn't like ? The flow of the song, the tone, the playing style ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucid Faia Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 An elaboration, then. My biggest complaint is the sound itself, which could either be attributed to the production or to the effect you had on the lead guitar. When you're playing, some of the long notes are painful to listen to, particularly some of the high ones in New Continent. You really need to do away with that "screeching" noise; it sounds like a test of the emergency broadcast system. And this complaint is coming from a metalhead. Now, the rhythm sounded fantastic, and if you would just leave the lead either distorted or clean, rather than making me say, "WTF is this," you'd have a winner. Don't take it personally, and I'm not being rude. I'm being "bluntly honest." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
