orkybash Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 Lemmings 'Lounge Lemmings' Gotta love anyone who's able to take on Lemming's zany soundtrack and do it as much justice as Mazedude has. My only complaint is the vibes, which lag behind just a tad. I can see why Maze did this - to make it seem more "human," but it's done to such an extreme that it just sounds off. But other than that, it's a solid mix, and well worth a download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 Not what I was expecting from a "Lounge" remix (should've read djpretzel's review before I listened) but quite nice. I rather liked the slight delay on the vibes and piano, as well as the synth interludes. This mix is obviously going for a laid-back, rhythm-lounge feel to it, but I can't help but wish the synth had been cranked up just a tad more.

EmptyMy Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 This remix is SO annoying! I love the atmosphere of it. It captures the Lemmings feeling. But it's those damn off beat vibes that are bothering me... why did he do that? It sure ruins it for me. Other than that, I love ít. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherOneBitesTheDust Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 those off beat vibes make the song for me I love this song, though when it loops around the middle I get a sense of lack of direction...or something, bah who cares, it's great. The piano is great and I love that second vibe...thing layered over the original near the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deryck Khusial Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 there’re some instances when the lead in a song lags and it’s whorrible (i.e., Ian Van Dahl - Secret Love), and there’re some instances when you can Tell it was done intentionally and the result is good. this is very good. fits the mellow lounge sound perfectly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merid Posted December 14, 2002 Share Posted December 14, 2002 I remember when I first downloaded this song so long ago. I had it on loop for a week. But it's still a good song cuz I didn't get sick of it. That's when you have a good song, when you can go back to it a long time later and still love it like the first time.

Elvenstar! Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 No way he did that by mistake. I'm with Keith on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarKirby Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 I shoulda posted a while ago, but here's what I have to say. I love this ReMix, Mazedude is one of my fav remixers I tell you what. One prob...I can't find what this is a ReMix OF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Michael Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 This song is amazing. I listen to OCR music while I read books usually and when this song hits about 2:51 or so I always stop and look up because it's so awesome. Most songs just play in the background while I don't really pay them much mind, but not this one. Chris surely is the man. Excellent Job. I'm not sure why you guys are bothered by the off vibe, I can't even tell that it's there really... Maybe I should listen to the source material to get an idea of what you're talking about.

mud2 Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I love the song I really do, but at the beginning the xylophone and some of the piano off vibes just drive me nuts. Later though they are almost covered up and so they fit and make it great like right around the 2 minute mark. But when they are so out in the open like that, it is very distracting and almost makes you think that something wrong must have happened. I love the song otherwise.

Linearity Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Chill as heck. I love the mood of this song. I also like the contrast between the sort of soft, acoustic sounds in the beginning (yes, forgive my inclusion of the drum kit, but it's appealing) and the rougher synth lead midway through. This is definitely a song to lounge to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bummer Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I just gasped when I saw who had remixed this remix, Mazedude! Unfortunately, the other reviews ruined my first listen. There I was, expecting to hear bad vibes which is supposed to wreck the whole mix. And they never came. I clearly has different taste than the rest of you guys, but exactly what made those vibes bad? They were rough, the other one maybe was a little MIDI-sh, but I didn´t feel that much bothered by it. And if my head didn´t get it, my tumbs and right leg sure did, cause at the end they didn´t do much else than shaking along the rhytm. Maze gave those muppets a tougher look, and he succeded. I just say: HIT THAT DOWNLOAD BUTTON! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I'm not completely into that synth distorted guitar, but it's passable, and beyond that, this mix is excellent. What really saves it from lounge boredom is the drums and bass; I went to a wedding about 5 years back and at the reception they had this lame-ass vibes player and an upright bass and no one chilled or danced or anything. Rather, people ate as fast as they could and then headed out. Not even an open bar could people around. However, if they had Mazedude kickin this out, they'd have partied all night, synth guitar or no. The vibes are behind most of the time, but it's a good stylistic choice I think, and it gives the song a lot more character. This is a great track, check it out.

Sir_Downunder Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I have to echo OA here in saying I don't like the distorted guitar either, however, it's not so bad that it ruins the entire song, other than that, the rest of the mix is awesome. It's very stylized and chilled, but the bass and drums save form going into what I'd consider 'true' lounge territory. A definite must grab from Mazedude.

WesternZypher Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Lemmings building their way through the world with this music driving them on would be so chill and focused that nothing could stop them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner3D Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Every once in awhile I get the urge to hack into a public PA system and load it with video game music instead of whatever it is that they are playing. I haven't yet actually done this trick, nor do I know how, but still I would definately start off with this song, and the slowly increase the pace, until the shoppers or whatever finally noticed Anyway, on to the remix itself. Other people have mentioned the off beat vibes and the skips in the beat. Honestly I think it works really well. It keeps it from being a song that your brain just tunes out. I like it a lot and its part of my growing collection of relatively slow songs from this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Game and Audio Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Just heard this on OCRemix Radio. I know of Lemmings from the old paintball game. I love the relaxed tone you take with this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
