Saunders Posted May 26, 2002 Posted May 26, 2002 Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 'Gerudo Interlude' Wow, a song by djpretzel that doesn’t suck. Only kidding Master, I mean Mister Pretzel. I always loved the Gerudo theme, and this is a well done rendition. Although slower and more laid back than I personally would like, it’s a really authentic sounding tune. Favourite part: The quiet ending. I love quiet simple stuff. 4/5 Quote
MB Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 great stuff. i would expect nothing less from the "big dude" of the site. keep 'em coming, djp! Quote
40 Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 Not too many comments about this one. This is my favorite rendition of Gerudo Valley on this site. DJP rocks my face yet again. Quote
Fiyaitup Posted December 18, 2002 Posted December 18, 2002 my absolute favorite gerudo valley remix on the site, when i listen for great game remixes, i look for changes to the song, while keeping the same feel and not straying too far from the original, Gerudo Interlude did just that, the result: a song great enough to listen to as a regular song, and a great enough reminder of the good old zelda experience Quote
TheMatrix Posted January 12, 2003 Posted January 12, 2003 This song is rated as #1 in my growing collection of OC ReMixes. After playing the game and then listening to your ReMix, it is unbelievable how well done you have ReMixed this...I can leave this song going for hours on end - it is simply a great ReMix. Keep up the awesome work! Quote
Nazxul Posted February 14, 2003 Posted February 14, 2003 Wow man, this rips it!! Definately tha best Gerudo mix I ever heard. Kick-ass intro, lethal beat, awesome guitar work, imaginative variation, AH GOD, words can't describe it - I LOVE THIS!! Excellent work! Quote
PassivePretentiousness Posted February 24, 2003 Posted February 24, 2003 AUTENTIC?!?!?!?!? YOU FOOLS, STOP SUCKING UP TO HIM, YOU ONLY ADD TO HIS POWER... I mean... uh.... sorry. Moo. I'm sorry, I just can't enjoy this one at all. I'm all for djp's style usually, but it doesn't fit at all here. The subtle change to the melody worked great in Pachabel's Ganon, but it screws it up completely here. There's like 5 acoustic guitars rambling on together at many points so I can't tell what's going on at all. For about 30 seconds in the middle of the song the melody is dropped more or less altogether in favor of further pointless derivation. I just can't see what everyone else sees in this remix. 3/8 Quote
TiKiMoN Posted March 5, 2003 Posted March 5, 2003 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I just downloaded this song, and while it really kicks holes, I think the original song is from the Ninja Gaiden series, not Zelda : Ocarina of Time. Has there been some sort of mix-up, or have I completely lost it? Quote
ironz Posted May 13, 2003 Posted May 13, 2003 wow another kickass remix....good job i luv this song Quote
MasterSword Posted May 13, 2003 Posted May 13, 2003 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I just downloaded this song, and while it really kicks holes, I think the original song is from the Ninja Gaiden series, not Zelda : Ocarina of Time. Has there been some sort of mix-up, or have I completely lost it? lol you lost it dude.... This song is really tight. I especially love the drums. all you have to do is look at who made it to know that it's a MUST DOWNLOAD. Quote
Jooch Posted May 20, 2003 Posted May 20, 2003 When I heard the first instruments I had good hopes for this remix, it really has a nice sound. But when I heard the changes made to the original melody of "Gerudo Valley" my hopes died. Somehow I get this feeling that remixers change the melody's just because they think their remix won't be original enough if they don't. Offcourse it isn't wrong to change some of the melody, but a lot of remixers that produce a good "would be" remix change the wrong part of melody. To me it doesn't matter what is changed to a song as long as the main melody is the same. But that is just my view about remixing. Anywayz, a good remix but with a bad taste to it. Quote
njsykora Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 First Download from the site and I came back. That's all that's needed to say how good this mix is. Quote
ladykaiyu Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 Download this song...NOW!!! Needless to say, I was impressed with this piece... Quote
kirbenvost Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 djpretzel, your music makes me drool. And that's in a good way. How much of this is played live? Anyways, I love this song. As for those headphones, I'm currently listening to this song on a nice pair of Sony MDR-V500s. I recommend them, or the V700s Quote
Drin Tragen Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 Holy crap.........I love the acoustics, this is just one more reason to worship great mixers and musicians........ Quote
Falcovsleon20 Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 Geez, I'm having hard time deciding between this and Gerudo Peeples. It sounds nice but not as nice as Peeples' redition. I give it a 7.5/10. Quote
Naja Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 gerudo peeples just keeps repeating itself over and over and over and over... i think u get the point... gerudo interlude all the way man... Quote
LoNeLyZoRa Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 one of the best zedla songs out there great work Quote
The Womb Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 Wow I'm new to the site kinda and Zelda being my favorite Series of games I went straight to this page when I came to the site So I had a lot of listening to do Bah Cant belive I missed this song only listened to it after my hardrive got whiped and needed to redo my playlist Congrats DJP this song ownz Quote
tyler_lucero Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 I'm digging the lead(s)! Whatever you choose for the instramentation, djp, it rocks! Also, I like the fact that you altered the original, but the source material is still easily identifiable. Nice acousic work, too...9/10. Quote
jordex Posted November 19, 2004 Posted November 19, 2004 The guitar in the beginning is sweet I don't like the drums much but the guitar work is awesome! Quote
Paranoyia Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 A masterpiece. It doesn't even feel like a mix, more like a remake. Outstanding job. Quote
BDH Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 Strong melody and layered complexity. This is, to me, the best remix here, and one of the best songs I have heard recently. A must-hear. The repetitive nature of the composition of remixes is transcended by the variations and most importantly the *perfect* timing. The only change I could see making would be to the drums at 2:45-3:00. Quote
progressive Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 Don't usually like your stuff, DJP, but this one got through to me. Quote
Skyz Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 This is nice man. It's quite possibly my favorite remix i've heard here. It's in a real dark key. Big up on dat one. And the way you made your own melody gave this song that new flava son. This was some good ish and I enjoyed it. I really didn't know what to expect after hearing peeples. I liked the intro even though it got kinda cluttered at one point. And I think you should have handled your drum intro somewhat differently. But whatever doesn't matter that much. You gave the gerudo song a much needed facelift. This is the first song I heard by you but if the others are anything like this I'll be hitting em up. I also liked the way you brought the orginal melody in around 1:06 that was beautiful man. Some good ish for real. This song has a rea hip-hop western sytle to it. Nice man. Real nice. Also I want to know how much of this is live aswell. Very nicely done. Geez, I'm having hard time deciding between this and Gerudo Peeples. It sounds nice but not as nice as Peeples' redition. I give it a 7.5/10. It's not that hard man. Peeples remix of the song has a good treble but the bassline is rather annoying. I like the song when the bassline isn't there butI really can't get into peeples with that bassline doing that. For one reason of another that first note is sharp. The guitars are fine. But that bass ruined it for me. But that's just my opinion, and probably my own fault for listening to music where everything is in the right key. That peeple version just isn't that good. So I'm going to tweak your score and reverse it. 10/7.5 that's how much I like this song. Quote
