DragonAvenger Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Remixer Name: TheGuitahHeroe Game: Mega Man II Sources: Bubble Man Stage ( )and Heat Man Stage ( ) (as ifyou need these ) Remix Name: "The Tragic Drowning of Heat Man" So this was my Round 3 remix for this year's Grand Robot Master Remix Battle, headed by Darkesword. In this round I was pitted against Sir_NutS; unfortunately he didn't have enough free time to fully complete his mix (which featured really unique vocals by Mae). This mix was pretty heavily inspired by Deadmau5 and Pendulum's "The Island." There's even a chord progression in there which is very similar to that of the verse progression of "The Island." There's not really that much to say about the mix lol, so I'll conclude this subscription email with a quote describing the feel of the mix from easily the best spoken voter of the GRMRB, Helios42: "1:02 - 1:07 was great buildup with Heat Man. 1:48 - 2:18 had an epic, lively beat as heat man 'swam' aka fight back against his fate, but then he started to sink. 2:35 was a great re-entry of heat man, and pretty tragic feeling with the bubble man follow up from 2:48 until the end." The name itself was more of an afterthought (it was originally named "Heat Man's Bubble Bath", lol). Alright, that's it from me. Hope you guys dig!
Vig Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 That kick has some serious smack. I love the shimmer on the bell synths. The arrangement is great. I'm going to preempt Larry here and point out that the B-section here is a recognizable if rather liberal melodic reinterpretation of the B-section of the source, and not original writing. This is a pretty easy pass. YES
OceansAndrew Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 I feel like the ending was a bit abrupt, but I was definitely feeling this arrangement. The production was solid, with nice synths and a good balance, and some really cool additions. I would have liked to have heard a little more Bubble Man theme overall, but this is very solid work. Yes
DragonAvenger Posted September 8, 2011 Author Posted September 8, 2011 Love the arrangement overall. Agreed that the ending is a little abrupt, but it's in no way a dealbreaker. Solid work. YES
Palpable Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 I wish the leads had more bite to them rather than being so round, but there's no denying this arrangement works and is catchy. Love the -style gated synths introduced near the beginning, that added a lot. Let's go.YES
