orkybash Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 Golden Axe 'Golden Axe 2002' This one could use some major EQ work, especially in the intro - sounds to me like higher frequencies are almost nonexistent! I also detected some clipping, which got annoying. Still, this is a very enjoyable remix - actually sounds like some of djp's stuff in terms of style. I would definitely recommend this, but tell Jose Acosta to get into the processing end of things first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayLightning Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 Great selection, by Jose, the man with the silver beast (triton). It's a shame this rearranger hasn't submitted new work lately, as his stuff is always a good and enjoyable listen. This mix is no different. I think the reverb is at times a bit too much for this genre. Still, a definitely good mix to add to one's collection. I wish this guy would mix some more stuff. A definite download.

VJ THE DJ HEDGEHOG Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 The mix rules enough said! Brings back old memories when i used to play this game with my dad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
typhoidmary66 Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 ok this kicks ass i was listening to the other G.A remix and couldn't pinpoint the song but now i definitely recall it. *sigh* such good memories. Anyone remember golden axe 2? we need some more remixes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecco Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 oh yes..... this is good.... it makes mouths happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the warlock Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Very enjoyable, i used to play Golden Axe quite abit on the old MegaDrive but unfortunately i sold the game like a dumbass. I remember riding the giant lizards, the skeletons rising from the cobbled ground and the endless amount of magic that Flare had! This brings back memories and very pleasant one's. Good drumbeat all the way through, not too keen on the intro however. The techno introduction along with the similar GA soundtrack with drumbeat its pretty neat. I like the point at about 1:35 and at the end where it sounds like a giant gong - very nice touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Canabrava Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 oh yes..... this is good.... it makes mouths happy! Totally agreed. In matters of making me smile, this is one of the best, second only to djpretzel's "Altered Beast Resurrection by Breakbeat". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bren Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 This sounds like something you'd hear at the superbowl. Very energetic and a great mix. 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 ...I wish this guy would mix some more stuff. A definite download. I agree. This remix has some repetitions. But I can believe that this work is very pleasant. The game was good... at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 The intro was super muddy, but it did open up nicely into an upbeat synth rock piece. I agree with an earlier comment that this would fit in well at a football game. It doesn't deviate from the original very much struturally, but it is the perfect length, and the dramatic conclusionfits very well. I'd have prefered some higher quality synths, because the arrangement is great, but for what it is, it's an enjoyable piece of music.

DragonAvenger Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Other people mentioned this being heard at a football game, and now I can't get that thought out of my head. Very epic and moving, for sure. I can't say I mind the old samples too much, because they work for what it is. Wouldn't hurt to hear an upgrade though. Nice work.

Marmiduke Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 The intro is ghastly, but what springs out of it is definately djpretzel-like in terms of quality and sound (at the time). It's not quite as complex arrangement-wise as it probably could have been, but what's here is kinetic and lively enough to get me into it. With a mix like this, I'm really not fussed on synth samples and all that jazz; all I care about is if it does anything interesting and if it stays interesting. And it does both. Strong tune + strong electronica = double strength! A broad, simple yet valuable mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I can't see this in a football game - sorry guys. This is kinda cool - samples are obviously outdated, and it does get a bit repetitive. I'd have loved to see it longer though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magellanic Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 There should be more Golden Axe remixes. This isn't a bad remix, though it does feel a little bit like the original with some frilly bits and a bigger beat added. Enjoyable, but I feel its only because of the original source being so strong. This is a source that has much more potential. With this being from 2002 I'm probably just being far too demanding, but with more variation in the build and pace would go far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
