Liontamer Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 The bomb. Great source, great arrangement. Loving that Sir J gave Gitaroo Man's soundtrack some love (and exposure, since it's awesome). GITAROOOOOOO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakken Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I've been eagerly waiting to hear this mix ever since I saw it in the To Be Posted queue. The original (both versions), with its truly "legendary" melody, is one of my favorite game songs of all time. Like you said, it's a mixture of happy and sad (wistful, I'd say), and you did a good job of capturing that feel while adding a lot of your own creativity to it. The whistling was a nice nod to the original, and fits in perfectly with the feel of the song. Despite the title, I couldn't help but smile while listening to this. Nice job, Jordan.

Emunator Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 This has to take the cake for Best Mix of 2011, man. It perfectly nails a downright-beautiful combination of melancholy and nostalgia, an emotion that few songs ever truly touch on. I can see myself coming back to this mix a million times over simply because it's a perfect piece for coping with the kind of situation that led you to make the song in the first place. We've all got crappy days or months or years, but music like this is a huge help. The acoustic section about 4 minutes in particularly tugs at the heartstrings Thanks for making and submitting this Jordan, it's a very cathartic piece for me as a listener, and a downright brilliant piece of music on its own!

ectogemia Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 This is crazy good. Hearing mixes of this quality is what motivates me to keep improving. If I were capable of producing music like this... shit, I don't even know what. AWESOME job, totally unique sound, woooooooooooooooooo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperiorX Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Great, great mix. Definitely not what I was expecting from Sir Jordanius after hearing his first mix, but I like this one just as much. I think you did a great job of capturing the sad/happy combo you described in the write-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesternZypher Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I hope you were able to exorcise those bad vibes, SirJ - for what it's worth, I really glad that the outcome of them bad timez was this song. Thank you for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkumajoBelmont Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Holy Shit Mr Jordanius. Sorry... 'Sir'. This is incredible. The source is perfect, and wow... just one of the craziest, most unique tracks on OCR. Makes me feel happy and sad at the same time. Dude, you know I love your shit. It's always been awesome. But now thanks to this track, I think I love you. Thank you for this mix. Just thanks. Epic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eino Keskitalo Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Wow, this is a terrific track. Very nice and mellow from the beginning, and then it just built up to this bittersweet emotional.. experience. The way this was structured and how it developed was very well done, effective. I also love the style! --Eino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleJCrb Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 This is a wonderful remix of a source that has just been dying for more coverage. Sir J has certainly solidified himself as one of the breakout remixers of 2011. MOAR PLZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I didn't comment on this mix already? This is a sweet mix by Sir J, and he has been impressing as of late with this and his MM9 album mix. And Gitaroo Man at that! That break at around 4:30 is done very well - it really catches me and endears me to the song more. If there's anything I have to say could be tweaked, it would have to be the slightly overcompressed sound the mix has. The song could use some more clarity to bring out each instrument better. Great job with a great source! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuberz McGee Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 This Mix is so saddening. I feel connected with the bareness of the opening. It only helps that the piano that comes in makes the sadness even harder to bear. at 1:25 the whistling with insane reverb makes me feel a little bit happier. Like I'm gazing at the sunset or something stereotypical like that. At 2:17 it just improves, expanding. This continues through the piece. The dynamic increases and it has an almost reminiscent feeling that courses through me. The worst part about this mix, is that it had to end.

Martin Penwald Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I must be the only one who does not get a particularly sad vibe from this. It actually reminds me of some of the music you'd find on a Katamari Damashii soundtrack (with the exception of the climax, I guess). Anyway, beautiful piece. Also, diggin' the whistling.

paperCrane Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 When I first started listening to this track it reminded me of Blue Orb (and other tracks) from the Katamri Damacy games. Once the whistling came in it took me a bit to place the song, but I immediately let out a cry of delight when I realized it was from Gitaroo Man. It's one of my favorite rhythm games (even though it's short-ish) and it's about time we had some mixes from it on OCR. I agree with djp about the production. It all seems part of the experience and aesthetic of the song. Very indie and heartfelt. This definitely goes on my short list of OCR favorites.

Nase Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 oh this is wonderful. im getting this distinct andrew bird feel once it gets loud. the whistling and the strings and the melody...ever listened to mysterious production of eggs, jordanius? couple NOs for PRODUCTION VALUE??? jdgfgts these days... this is completely yummy tasteful muddyness if i ever heard some. way cool.

Just to clarify, all of the NO votes were meant for the original version of this submission. After the song was passed by the panel, Sir Jordanius resubmitted an entirely different version of the arrangement that didn't really sound like the first one at all. That's the version that actually got posted on the site, and that one was passed with 4 unconditional YES's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
