djpretzel Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix. Quote
Liontamer Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 The production was kind of dull-sounding and needed some higher frequency presence, and the keyboard sounded mechanical when exposed, but the arrangement was awesome. Once I compared this to the original, I was blown away by how comprehensive the arrangement was. Very chill. Glad to see you back after so long, José! Quote
GrayLightning Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 When djp asked for my opinion, I thought this was definitely DP material weeks ago, and still do. Superlative arrangement. One of the most enjoyable mixes I've heard in a while. Quote
Navi Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 Jose, you know from my 'rants' in unmod how much I dig your style. I loved Unknown from MC and I love this. very chill, smooth, funky. Loving the hand precussion. Glad to see you back again, man. I hope this isn't a one time deal. Quote
Tex Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 Shinobi´s soundtrack was always a curious thing. This game is a classic. The songs are rich in melody and such. And man...it is quite amazing. Sunrise Theme is very good on this arrangement. The instrumentation was well executed. It don´t boring and it´s not repetitive. Very soft. Quote
MusAshI-X Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 Enjoyable and relaxing to listen to, fits the theme of the original song from the game. Great tune. Quote
po! Posted August 29, 2005 Posted August 29, 2005 very nice grooove. as a big fan of Incognito, i can definitely hear the Incognito vibe on this track.. i can totally hear a Maysa vocal on top.... well done José Quote
Cadmus Posted August 30, 2005 Posted August 30, 2005 Nicely put together piece. It's a chill beat but it keeps flowing very well. Keep up the good work and hope to see more! Quote
Arek the Absolute Posted August 31, 2005 Posted August 31, 2005 Oh man, I am so feeling this song. This is great. It gots me wanting to go dance....and I DON'T LIKE DANCING. Nice job man. Sorry my review sucks. I am eating >.> Quote
RimFrost the Tourianist Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 No worries. My review sucks worse cause im drinking some beer. As for the song itself ,do i need say more than : Nice Work ! Quote
neostormx Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 wow another rican from the bronx doing funky remixes. thats crazy! anyways, great remix! keep em coming! Quote
watkinzez Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 I wasn't feeling this at first. Don't know why. Especially after hearing the original, it's amazing to see how José expanded on the theme. Smooth, chill, and any other description of that nature fits the bill here perfectly. A pity we don't see your stuff too often, but if quality over quantity is what you go for, then I can definitely embrace that. Quote
Geoffrey Taucer Posted May 22, 2006 Posted May 22, 2006 hey yo this needs more love Hells yeah! This is quite sexy. Levels could have been evenned out a bit more, but damn this is one sexy arrangement. Quote
OceansAndrew Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Funky and smooth, I love the rhodes bed and the soloing. The hand percussion also added a lot of great textures, and the vibes are like the shimmering frosting on top. The leads switch out great, with an organ coming halfway through to keep things even more mixed. Jazzy and fun, check this out out, guys. Quote
Crulex Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 If I didn't know that this ReMix was by Jose, I would have thought that it would've come from something along the lines of the Morse camp. So funky and tropical sounding, great for chilling and moving with the beat. So much love for the organ that pops in a bit into the mix. I like how this just reminds me so much of a jazzy little island party. Very cool. Quote
Black_Doom Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 Oh my god, what an exceptional work! If I didn't know this was written by Jose, my first guess would be Fumie Kumatani, no less! Just listen to her works from Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Unleashed, and you'll see what I mean. This track is so good, it could easily fit into the latter game! Silky smooth Rhodes, glassy piano, funky organ runs, rad percussion licks, bits of vibrphone, solid bassline, and a few dashes of clavinet for good mesure - this jam has it all! And check out the breakdown at 2:18 - so classy, gets me every time! Wonderful remix Quote
