Jessperk Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Great mix and all (I really like the violin blending), but it seems slightly insulting when the first half of the mix blurb is Oscar garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get your own website, and you can run it the way you want. You can write about Oscar the Grouch instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Penwald Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 I was very pleased to see a new po! ReMix, and when I first listened to, I knew that it would be a great one after the first few seconds. And I was not mistaken. The trademark violin (which made me think of the SFA2 ReMix at once) is a great addition to the song. Great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ventrex Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 This is pretty good, funky, smooth, slightly jazzy stuff as usual from po. But it just kind of drifts into the background, you know? I don't listen to most of Posu's original stuff whenever I have something I need to do (even wasting time on the internet becomes impossible with Creamy Bean going), because I end up unable to do anything except focus on the music itself. In a lot of ways, this is even better. The arrangement and instrumentation are excellent, and it evokes the kind of smoky bar mood that it should. The violin work is especially really impressive and brilliantly handled. The more I listen to the track, the more that stands out as nothing short of beautiful. So... This is great, and it seems Po's improving, but I had to play it a second time to hear it. I'll blame that one on too little sleep last night, and some weird, draining dreams. PS, I could have sworn Posu did an Earthbound mix, but I can find it neither on OCR nor my hard drive, VGmix is down, and I only ever get irritated by small things I think I vaguely remember like that. And in some strange kind of way through writing this and listening to the track over and over I've changed my mind as to the background drift; it's gone from a bad sign ("Old Po didn't do this...") to a good thing ("Violins!"). I just can't criticize an artist I love for being so different for....doing something different. Oh well. Hearing new po's always a treat. No one else does this, that's for sure. Also I love the way djp's reviews sometimes go on for paragraphs about something random before reaching this, "Oh, right. The mix." point.

Abadoss Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 I must say that I'm really impressed with this mix. To a certain extent, it's actually a pretty simple mix, but I don't think that it needs to be complex to work. Particularly, I like the bassline and the synth background. It adds a funk/Stevie Wonder feel to it that's really nice. This is one of those pieces that you can't help but move to. Seriously, one of my favorites. Good work!

metaphist Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 This has that same addictive groove that Citylights had. I just couldn't stop listening to that mix over and over when it came out, and even this one's a cut above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xinster Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 the only thing i dont like is the violin solo. it kinda gets a little offbeat. bvut the main theme anmd background is graet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobleheart Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 This piece is just a big, sweet yum-yum! I love smooth jazz and chill music and this is just a great piece... It makes me thing of guys like Boney James when listening to this song. I'm SO happy to have this on my computer and MP3 player. A song I will listen to forever.

Kurokun1293 Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Quite honestly, I hated the G-man's theme. But this is easy on the ears, which I didn't think possible. Its smooth, mellow, and something I could listen to for hours. I like it. And the violin part was something else. Someone should make a hack of the MM3 game and shove in these mixes. The Megaman Community will thank em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beat - the Sonic Superhero Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 This song sounds incredibly professional, like a jazz song you'd hear on the radio or XM. I really like it, and it's an interesting touch to the original gemini man theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeNukem007 Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 Quite honestly, I hated the G-man's theme. You have got to be kidding me...just one of the great songs in one of the best NES games ever. Not much of a jazz person and some stuff is more off-tune than it has to be...once you get into the violin stuff this becomes solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nario Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 I love how this sounds like something you'd hear on the Weather Channel. I am currently hearing this on the oc.ormgas.org radio station and I'm loving every second of it. Just wanted to let you know that this sounds great! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KogeJoe Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Who's the violinist in here? Damn. Beautiful remix. Only bone of contention I may have is the abrubt ending. Some sort of indication that the piece is about to end would have been nice... but other than that, great work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

42 Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 This is, like, groovy, techno, cocktail lounge, jet setting jazz. Also, the violin work here is unimaginably good. Very smooth and highly recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmiduke Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Could a mix get any smoother? The star here is the violin work that milks out gobs of sweet sweet melodic interpretation. Woah, listen to me. 'Gobs of'? Who am I, djpretzel? Hope he doesn't have a tradmark on that. Very coooool mix, and a nice change of pace from the average OCR fare.

Seriously though, I've been going through all your stuff, and man this just blew me away. It's not even fair how well you play violin, guitar, and who-knows-what-else, but ReMixes like this make me really glad you do. A keeper fo xo.

windkirby Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Scarily well arranged - every time I thought to myself I was craving something nice and simple, you put in those awesome chippy synths and choir pads! You have a nack for knowing how to time everything. This is a great piece; keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
