MegamanZeroX Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 Freakin Sweet! i love nothing more than guitars of a band playing to video game music - this mix only makes it better. Great song choice too. Quote
Jenga Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 I've been wanting a heavy metal remix of Magus for a loooong time. Nice Work. Quote
PlastikBag Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 I've had this one since the DoD release. Awesome stuff. Quote
Dead Hex Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 Very awesome. I love the metal theme. Nice job. Quote
Zenth Relin Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 A magus mix! And less than 20 seconds into it, it made me return here to comment! Let's just say that a few weeks ago, I had said, I wasn't particularly fond of the style of mixes of this, due to their slower nature. Guess I just got shut up. =x Quote
RimFrost the Tourianist Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 Wow this IS a great effort indeed with the melodic metal track ..and the drums ..the DRUMS ! Awesome work Darangen We want more more more !!! Quote
Zaid Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 Best remix i've heard in the past month. period. Quote

Tranced Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 Well done I love this interpretation, is all I can say. Great instrument work, but it's all about how well this mixes the original theme into something new and interesting. I love it when a mix can do that well. Quote
Guy In Rubber Suit Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 I've always been a fan of Darangen, though I never felt that he could quite compete with the likes of goat, Ailsean, Ashane, House, Virt and such. I mean, yeah he is a great musician, and I loved most of his stuff, just nothing really stand out to me. But here, wow, it just blew me away the first time I heard it. Certainly my favorite among that month's Dwelling of Duels. I can't wait to hear what Darangen has in store next. More Chrono Trigger please! Quote
Less Ashamed Of Self Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 Meh, somewhat mediocre given that I knew that the quality WAS high to begin with. You aren't bad D. and you know it, and the source tune DID deserve some mixage, but I think this theme screams for something... not heavy metalish. Feel free to listen to anyone else's critiques over mine, I'd hate to deflate this moment for you and I'm CERTAIN you've pleased and will please great crowds with this mix. Quote
Miletus Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 I love the acoustics comin in at 1:00. I don't like the metal genre too much, but this was good. Quote
Dunnowhathuh Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 Being a metal mix, I didn't like it as much as I should have. From an unbiased opinion though, Darangen's pulled off another great mix. Congratulations man, every song of yours has made it onto my playlist, keep up the good guitar play. Quote
Geoffrey Taucer Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 This is how Magus's theme was meant to sound. Quote
ckain Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 Has there been any changes since the version that was posted in June's DoD? Thanks. Quote
Liontamer Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 Has there been any changes since the version that was posted in June's DoD?Thanks. Nope. Quote
The Orichalcon Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 I didn't like how it started. It sounded very half-effort to me. The drums I'm not fond of, they sound like they're being played down a tube. For a "heavy metal" style track this is missing the "heavy." The guitar playing is fine, I just think it could have been mixed better. The parts where the strumming guitar comes in gives the mix a more full sound, which is what I like to hear. Not a bad effort, but I think this could have been better, it doesn't sound powerful enough. Congrats on the direct post though. Quote
Darangen Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 I wasn't really going for a "heavy metal" vibe, it was meant to be a straight rock arrangement. Quote
PlastikBag Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 I wasn't really going for a "heavy metal" vibe, it was meant to be a straight rock arrangement. Yeah, I was wondering why everyone was calling it heavy metal... It's certainly not what came to my mind when I heard it. Quote
bloodydust Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 i've been listening to this track non-stop. as far as the metal argument goes, it wouldn't be out of place on any katatonia album after brave murder day. Quote
Jenga Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 I wasn't really going for a "heavy metal" vibe, it was meant to be a straight rock arrangement.Eh. Still awesome though. Quote
Tex Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 This ReMix is something metal/ethnic. I like this combination of styles. Very creative. My only complaint is about the oboe, because it got in a volume very high. Anyway, really powerful work!! Quote
