Ginnsu Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 Lunar: The Silver Star 'Blue Lament' A wonderful foot tapping beat with an excellently played piano and sax here by djpretzel. This guy just never stops pumping out these incredible tunes. Excellent djpretzel, there is no need to tell you to keep up the great work any more, because I’m positive that you will.

bartkusa Posted June 9, 2002 Share Posted June 9, 2002 DJ Pretzel establishes himself as one of the site's finest with this tunage. He works at the niggling details and makes a piece that's truly evocative of emotion, namely melancholy. The sax and piano polish off the solid drumwork. Wow.

TheWired Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 With such sounds, i think i could survive off DJP's stuff, this is probably one of the best jazzy-ish mixes on the entire site, it has contradictory feeligns to it, but that just goes to show how great DJP is at putting things toghether. An amazing mix with everything you may want out of it .. slow .. soft, beautifull keep up the throughly amazing work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straziante Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Great game, great music, great remix, any questions? By far my favorite of djp's remixes. Great sound quality makes you feel like you're sitting in a little coffee shop, sipping a mocha, and bobbing your head to the jazzy rhythms djp throws at you. Highly recommended.

Skyline3092 Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 I dunno why but whenever I listen to this song, I have this compulsion to read, therefore allowing me to listen to this great song for a very long time. I find this song soothing, mind calming, and otherwise relaxing. A must for anyone who likes a slow, jazzy song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wabbajack Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 One of DJP's best. Even if you haven't played Lunar, download this song! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDKaltered Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 This piece has a nice, laid back jazz feel to it. I especially like the saxaphone melody at 1:43. Keep it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Less Ashamed Of Self Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Another one of your 'exception' pieces. It's got a flavour that I think stands a bit above the rest of your mixes. I keep coming back to it, it's really enjoyable. I don't know how you could've been so dismissive towards it; you must've been in a rotten mood that day. *Goes and reads FAQ to try and offer some kind of abstract comfort and support* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayLightning Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 I'm impressed DJP made this so long ago, and yet it still stands the test of time. Being very familiar with the source material - DJP capitalizes on the source material extremely well and expands on it with a great new take. Love the instrumental choices here too and the intimate mixing decisions taken. Not only one of my favorites by the pretz, but definitely one of the best on this site. Impressive and beautiful work.

jordex Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 I agree I was thinking of reviewing this song sometime Surprisingly there are only 9 reviews here This is such a beautiful piece it needs to be heard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Pylon Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 This has been my favorite "cooldown" song for the past couple years now. I like it very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipp Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 A very nice piece by DJP, one of the most consistent Remixers on this site (and the owner, of course). Unfortunately, I never played Lunar myself, so I can't connect to the song beyond its obvious goodness. The synth quality is not as high as it is in some of the others mixes, but the composition is excellent. And, that said, the synthing really doesn't bother me at all. But it would be cool to hear a live version, wouldn't it? It gets a 4/5 for superior craftsmanship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metroixer Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I like this piece of art. I take it's from the village where tempest lives in? Or tempest's theme song? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavenCloud Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 If you ever liked chlling music, I recomend this. Why? Simple. Nice beat, smooth, easy piano, good base sounds and of course, nice jazz to it. I just had to post because this music is just too good. +A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kizyr Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Really interesting rearrangement of the sad piano theme here... Sounds like a completely different (and of course really good) song, almost. The original song's really simple, so there's a lot that can be done with it. Some of the things I liked in particular were the piano part that comes in at 1:29 (in the background), the sax coming in at 1:43, and the piano coming in around 2:49 near the end.

OceansAndrew Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Distinctly blue; this is aptly titled. Even better that it fits the game name as well. I love the noodling with the clav and rhodes, and the atmosphere set with the piano and string bed. This really does have a different feel than the usual funky DJP fare, and it feels a lot more personal. My plan was to review a group of tracks this morning, but this one really caught me, and i've been just grooving with it for a few hours. I think it's the combination of the instrumentation, the slightly-behind-the-beat playing, and the sparse comping that speaks to me. Beautiful music.

Bahamut Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 This song brings back memories - its been a while since I've last heard it. It's a nice song for the most part, although I wish the volume was brought more forward overall, and the drum scaled back relative to the rest of the song. The samples for the most part are still passable I feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesternZypher Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 This makes me blue, because djp was feeling blue at the time. I should hope he's a lot less to feel blue over, and much more to be proud of, these daus : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
