DimeTower Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Ok, so I admit that my expectations for this remix (an odd take on a source tune I didn't particularly love?) did not necessarily give me the warm fuzzies. I hit play and decided to give it a minute... which was good enough to try a second minute... which I loved and wanted to hear more... and by the end I was just floored. The description that goes with the music really is perfect - a must read - and the unique and singular nature of the dance of instruments and fun, not-too-serious vibe was a SMASHING success. Really unique and special - give this mix a listen!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelCityOutlaw Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Good to see the woodwinds gettin' some love! I was talking to a friend of mine just the other day about orchestral music and he's like "Nobody cares about woodwinds anymore". At least we know Archangel still does. Great work!

timaeus222 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) Haha, this track is just silly. Well, and pretty excellent too. This is one of the more interpretive OC ReMixes I've heard to date, and this is such a creative and transformative take on Umaro! Didn't anticipate it, but definitely one for the record books.

apoc Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 The info page says this track was featured in the Balance and Ruin album, but I've got the album and this song is not included. Am I missing something? Great mix though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crulex Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Man, Archangel, you really know how to work a cartoonish arrangement. This is excellent. Digging the story behind the mix and I can totally picture it in my end along with the music. Sounds like ripe pickings for someone to animate, I'd say. Playful, silly and all around fun, everything you could ask for in a ReMix like this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Orichalcon Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Love it. Reminds me of the Mutato Muzika style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPRTNovice Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I love this mix. It was one of my favorite interpretations from the album; totally unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverClocked PodCast Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 This whole "scoring a cartoon" idea is good, goofy fun. It's not something I would often listen to on its own, but sitting down and imagine the animation is pretty darn neat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chernabogue Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Wow, this is excellent. Reminds me a lot of Joe/XPRTNovice's stuff. The choice of instruments is on spot, and the performance is excellent. Very interesting way to arrange this track, but it fits it very well. It even has a little adventurous vibe to it. I enjoyed it a lot, and I hope to hear more stuff like this in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Doom Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Haha, what a cute arrangement I actually like XPRTNovice's jazzy jam a bit more, but this is an interesting way to tackle the original as well. Love the playful nature of this track - sounds something like from Tom & Jerry. Excellent track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalewb Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Hey there! I can't believe that no one has mentioned in this thread the word bassoon, or better, CONTRABASSOON! It represents Umaro himself and is the main character in this piece. As someone who's played bassoon for many years, I was absolutely delighted to hear the lowest member of the woodwind family featured so prominently and so playfully - wonderful! It just shows the breadth of character and expression this instrument is capable of. Now what I really want to know, however, is whether this was a live contrabassoon performance or not. I can't imagine this being done digitally, though I am not a composer or mixer - just a player - so I really have little concept of what is possible these days. It sounds very authentic. But whether it is live or synthesized, I'm impressed either way. Bravo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
