MechaFone Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Amazing! What a great way to keep this oft-remixed song fresh. I love the relaxing intro, and suddenly it starts rockin'! Very nicely done, I'm very fond of this one. The Distortionist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesternZypher Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 watching the waves lap the sand peacefully... everything is serene, the sky a clear azure blue nary a wind stirs your hair but then a speck of grey on the horizon, a cloud bank, a storm approaches now the tides pick up, grow heavier, rougher.. taller and louder, they barrel against the slick rocks, churning the beach to mud wall after wall of water comes crashing down... then everything harmonizes again, not as peaceful as at first, but no longer as violent great mix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Dan Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Simply amazing!! Is it a seven strings guitar? The Distortionist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakken Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) Oh my gosh. This is sick. Amazing work, Justin. I absolutely love the syncopated staccato guitar hits (particularly the section starting at 2:10, SO GOOD). Reminds me of Stemage's work on Metroid Metal. Can anyone recommend similar remixes? (PM me if so, I don't want to stuff up this thread). Edited April 2, 2013 by Drakken The Distortionist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Another Aquatic Ambiance remix? Haven't we had en......WHOA. Nevermind, this is full on awesome! The skin of my face is in a puddle on the floor. 2:24, very creative, love it! Just when I think I never want to hear AA again, OCR proves me wrong!

Crulex Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 OH MY GOD. My ears are crying tears of joy right now. I have always wondered what Aquatic Ambiance would sound like with a good metal arrangement, and now that I hear it......IT IS GLORIOUS! And that staccato guitar!? Oh man, so gorgeous in a rocking way. Even the heavy drum break sounded magnificent. The more AA ReMixes that get posted, the better they get, which is great because each time I hear one, I keep thinking it can't get any better. So glad to be wrong every time. Great debut man.

Flexstyle Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I've heard several remixes of this track, but this is the one that makes me want to stick it in my car stereo as loud as the thing can possibly go and drive around town like a total boss. Fantastic work. The Distortionist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archangel Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Congratulations on your first posted track, Justin! This is a wonderful track and a great OCR debut. I really enjoyed the electronic percussion at the beginning and the progressive rhythmic elements throughout the song. The clarity and precision of your guitar playing are very impressive indeed. I have to admit I usually frown upon people remixing sources that have already been remixed to death, but in this case, the arrangement is so original, well-produced and full of surprising twists that all I can say is well done. I'm looking forward to hearing more from you! The Distortionist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockos Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 This song is really well written. I love it ! The intro of electronica plus the blend metal and syncopated guitar gives this mix so much uniqueness. 4:00 is :):) This is not getting repetitve at all even with this long write up. I give you my hat! Respect. The Distortionist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igami Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Words cannot describe the amount of awesome that this remix is made of. Great job of taking a source that's been remixed like crazy and making it sound like I'm hearing it for the very first time. Listen to it, download it, add some butter, then slap it on your portable and take it with you everywhere. The Distortionist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GravitySuitCollector Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Partway through listening I just had to unplug my headphones from the jack and turn the speakers UP. Seriously, I could not resist. This demands to be played out loud. Fantastic job, and I look forward to possibly more from you in the future.

The Distortionist Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I'm at a loss for words right now. Seriously, HUGE thanks to everyone!! Too stoked to even type right now. This remix really meant a lot to me, so it makes me incredibly happy to see that people are enjoying it. I've been super busy lately, but I plan on doing a lot more remixes from the DKC games in this style so stay tuned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneUp Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 This is one of the best remixes on this site. The Distortionist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emunator Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Totally agreed with the flood of support above, this is one of the strongest debut mixes I've ever heard, and one of the most creative adaptations on this source to come across the front page in a long time. I'm extremely excited to hear more DKC music get this sort of treatment The Distortionist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esteve7 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 When I saw this: "Oh, ok. Another Aquatic Ambiance ReMix. That's cool. Almost 6 minutes though (???)" When I listened to it: "Wow. This is amazing. A lot of things done well here. Didn't seem like 6 minutes, there needs to be more" After I listened to it: "Don't recognize the name, but let's see what else they've done..." ".... what?! That's their debut mix? Can't wait to hear more!" The Distortionist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Shinigami Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Okay! So I'm not a huge metal fan, normally, but I'm a sucker for DKC music so I try to give all mixes a chance. Good thing! This is a stellar beginning and I look forward to your future work. ~LS The Distortionist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im_Just_Shawn Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 This...Is...Totally...EPIC! I love what was done here with such an already epic BMG from one of my favorite childhood VG's! The atmosphere, the feel, the flow, the...well, EVERYTHING! I can not believe that there is this much talent in just a debut piece! I expect to hear great things from you Justin!! May the gods of music watch over your OCR career and bless you with the ideas to captivate the entire community! The Distortionist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonra Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) That's some sweet djent we got here. I kid you not, I was wearing a jacket because it's quite cold in here, but I'm halfway through this remix and I had to take it off.
