Liontamer Posted August 27, 2005 Share 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!

GrayLightning Posted August 27, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navi Posted August 27, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Posted August 28, 2005 Share 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.

MusAshI-X Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Enjoyable and relaxing to listen to, fits the theme of the original song from the game. Great tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadmus Posted August 30, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watkinzez Posted March 1, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoffrey Taucer Posted May 22, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted March 19, 2008 Share 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.

Crulex Posted October 13, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Doom Posted March 23, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
