Chimpazilla Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 link original decision Revision: http://lemon.revasser.net/Sakit%20Chills%20Out.mp3 Old version for reference: http://lemon.revasser.net/Sakit%20Outdated.mp3 ReMixer Name: Hylian Lemon Game: La-Mulana System: PC, Wii Composers: Takumi Naramura, Houryu Samejima Arrangement title: Sakit Chills Out Songs arranged: Giant's Rage, Giant's Cry Comments: This track was originally rejected for following too closely to the source for the first minute and a half (thread: http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=48591). I've done some fiddling to personalize the melody, and here we are. No changes beyond the 1:26 mark. Original comments: As far as I can tell, no one has submitted anything from this game, so it's about time someone did! I started this arrangement in 2013 after playing the game for the first time, and the kickstarter for La-Mulana 2 motivated me to finish. Giant's Rage and Giant's Cry are two of my favorite tracks from the game, and they're essentially based on the same motif (which is also used to introduce most bosses), so why not stick 'em together? And why not throw some swing in there for good measure? If someone reading this hasn't played the game, give it a look! It's hard, it's confusing, and it's a blast. I recommend the remake. Sources for easy reference: Giant's Rage (original): Giant's Cry (original): Giant's Rage (remake): Giant's Cry (remake): I kind of drew inspiration from both versions of both tracks.

Emunator Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Easy call for me now - the only concern I had with the initial sub was the first minute and a half, and that section of the song is now showing sufficient development and personalization. The switch to a swing-rhythm was a huge highlight and very smoothly executed, and the production is just as rock-solid as last time. I'm happy you sent this back so swiftly!

Chimpazilla Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 I have to admit, I prefer the first version. The changes you made seem kinda quick and dirty... tweaking it for the sake of compliance. Ultimately though, it does bring the track into compliance. It sounds very good overall. The swing section is absolutely awesome. YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palpable Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 This is my first time hearing both the sources and Ben's sub, and I'm impressed by everything. Ben took those creepy melodies and did a lot with them, and the swing transition was an unexpected but awesome detour. For such a dark melody, it seems like it could have been kind of silly to take it that way, but the mood of Ben's sub is pretty light and it fits perfectly. Great work!

Liontamer Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 This is my first time hearing this as well. The core pattern at the foundation of this does sound super close, but there was enough personalization in the other writing to put this above the line arrangement-wise. Also a fan of the swung rhythms at 1:32, nice touch! The second half's intensity really kept the arrangement interesting throughout. Infectious stuff here!
