djpretzel Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Hello, Here's a new little remix I've done. Hope you'll like it! Song: Dizzy the Adventurer (NES) Mix name: Mix Dizz Remixer: Makke I've been looking all over for the original composer, but couldn't find the credits for it so I just stuck 'Codemasters' in the composer-field of the ID3v2 tag. Lyrics: Dizzy and his girlfriend, Daisy, were out searching for Pogie their pet When they discovered a secret way, to enter Zaks old castle which is quite cliché But Dizzy and his girlfriend, Daisy, desided to go and have a look In the tower with a spinning thing, which made Daisy fall asleep after getting a little sting Dizzy and Daisy Sitting together in a tree But how were they supposed to know What the evil wizards crystal show Dizzy and Daisy Totally oblivious to what will be How were they supposed to know That soon they'll be caught by Boris the Troll Dizzy and his girlfriend, Daisy, where taken to the dungeons far below And the adventure could begin, how will it end, will Dizzy and Daisy win? Well, how am I supposed to know? I never even ever played this game before I just like the music, and made a little remix which in everyone's mind will stick Regards, Makke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 http://www.zophar.net/nsf/dizzy.zip - Track 1 Quality straightforward expansion versus the sounds of the original, along with a nicely done 50s-style genre adaptation with the faster tempo. Played it back on VGF56 and liked hearing something this unique. The vocals were fairly well-done for the most part - harmony was good and the lyrical deivery was pretty good, while the lyrics were pretty creative. Kinda fell apart at 2:00 as you split the vocals into the left and right channels; the lead vocals/speaking from then until the end sounded like they could have used a couple more takes. Nice stuff; short and sweet, but nicely done by Marcus per his usual. It's kind of odd that I don't even think of Makke as a vocalist mixer despite how many vocal mixes he's done. Don't miss out on his other material on R:K:O on his own or with The C64 Mafia tackling the Commodore 64 mixing scene. This will get hated on by a lot of people. Not saying it's superlative, but that's why I generally say, "F the people." YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmony Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 "F the people" You've gotta be more specific there Larry. Free the people? Fondle the people? What? Man this is the finger-snappin’ toe-tappin’ jam. Production of instruments and vocals is very clean and does a great job of capturing the genre. I especially like the backup vocal harmony which offsets the interesting and unique male lead. Arrangement is there in the form of cool lyrics (even though Makke’s never played the game before, he just likes the music) and great reinterpretation of the original instruments. Great stuff Marcus.

Sam Ascher-Weiss Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 FUNNY! Unlike Zyko I feel no need to justify this vote. There are no problems with the mix.... It's that simple. It is musically boring but that really has nothing to do with the point of this song and from 2:03 onwards I actually got into the multiple vocal track hotness. This whole thing is just so full of charm. What's not to Love? There is no reason to say no and many reasons to say yes so... YES British People RULE!
