Dyluck Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 This ReMix came back from the dead on 11/29/23, hence the lack of reviews. Having not really been someone with a lot of Latin music in his diet, I don't feel like I can quite get between the cracks of this salsa number in terms of instrumentation and setup, other than to say that June Chikuma did a lot of the initial work and Jake Kaufman realized it with a soundset beyond the 2A03. These days, a ReMix like this would be considered quite conservative. But for what it is, when it was, the production values on this ReMix are very high indeed. The trumpets have that brassy ring. The vibes chime sweetly without drowning in reverb. The tune's repetitive, maybe a little so, but the solos and instrumentation break up its monotony very well and it barely seems like all the different iterations go by before we're ramping up to the end. I particularly like that chiptune integration at the end – while finishing with a death jingle can be rather trite (assuming it is that as I've not played the game), it's done very tastefully indeed. Here is a master at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJthemusicdude Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 You'd never guess this came out more than 20 years ago, it's really snazzy and cool! It feels like it would fit in right at home in a Mario or Donkey kong game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
