Navi Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Reminds me of some of the Pixies instrumental tracks. I like this a lot - not something I would ever expect from JJT, though. I'm a big alt rock/garage fan, so I dig this. I'd like to see more of this style from JJT; he has a great grasp of the sound/style. Maybe some (more) vocal collabs with Vig?

MaxFrost Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 sweet arrangement JJT... ....I'd say something bad...but besides a lack of lows....great tune... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiva Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Yeah!!! not bad!!! I like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Simmons Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 The percussion should be simplified. There are WAY WAY too many fills where there shouldn't be in the beginning. It just sounds like the drummer's showing off. I can see the intent of the mix, but I really don't like the production/recording. It's confused.

Dafydd Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 There's no drummer. I agree on the rest of what you said though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktriton Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Friggin' awesome work! I'd have like to hear the drums a little less in the mix though. Still, great, great work! Probably my favorite by you. Rock on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holy Warrior Azar Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 So this is what finally became of those Mute Fusion WIP's from vgmix. I think the last version was the third and that was in April or May of 2004 (I think). I'm glad to see it turned out so well. This is cool stuff.

EvilHorde Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Yay. I like it! Its a great tune and theres something very appealing on the production. PUNCHY. AND. CRISPY. The energy of the song is awesome. And I really like the "garage" approach. Sounds COOOOOOL. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reasoner Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 My God! Where is my copy of F-Zero because this song has brought me back into that 16bit, mode-7 goodness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiowar Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Sounds like Sonic Youth if they traded in Steve Shelley for Matt Tong (Bloc Party's drummer). The guitar sounds almost shoegazer-ish. Maybe the drum levels could've been balanced better. Doesn't bother me though. Great mix! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the drum levels could've been balanced better. Doesn't bother me though. Great mix! I was actually trying to model the drumming after William Goldsmith (Sunny Day Real Estate / Foo Fighters / The Fire Theft), but I'll still take that as a compliment.

progressive Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Hands down one of the best I've heard. Preserves the nostalgia while managing to be completely kick-ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have sort of similar styles I guess. Matt Tong is slightly more...mechanical I guess. Either way, the drumming kicks ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabsmasher Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I like this mix, it seems like one that will get better everytime I listen to it. I am not surprised JJT was made a judge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlastikBag Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I absolutely love the arrangement. Different stuff from Jon. The production was a bit weird at first, but it grew on me. Sick drums! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivre Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Yay for a finished Mute Fusion. Now we just need a finished Magnet Man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citan Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I liked this remix, and it makes me want to look into other Mute City remixes, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually trying to model the drumming after William Goldsmith (Sunny Day Real Estate / Foo Fighters / The Fire Theft), but I'll still take that as a compliment. Yeah, I actually thought of Foo Fighters' drums when I listened to this. That's a good thing. I personally thought that the drums were the best part of this mix. I wish people would turn up the volume on the drums more often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack the Ripper Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Oh god, this is great. Just suits my mood perfectly. Thank you so damn for this song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I really wasn't sure about the mixing at first, but it grew on me. The drumming really is a highlight. Well done. The texturing on the guitars was also really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinewav Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Quick question though... did the lead guitar at the beginning seem to be playing to a different rhythm at first? Maybe it was just me. Anywho, not a bad thing. It grew on me after a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
