Liontamer Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix. Quote
KonradZuse Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 It started out really good, but as in most if not all VGM songs, Dubstep... DOESN'T BELONG! It's hard to mix melody(VGM) with something that kills it (Dubstep). Would love to hear this song without all the wompings going on... I feel it would be a very good song. Quote
Snurfsnarf Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Hot dang, hearing the melody sneak its way through those distorted sections is really incredible. I particularly like how the distortion sticks around just long enough to knock your socks off without becoming overbearing or losing its edge. Great production quality all around, and that outro was a pleasant and welcome surprise. I'll be listening to this one for a while. Quote
Chimpazilla Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 This is the first song I heard from Brent... and well... I'm just gonna go ahead and quote myself, as it still holds true: Words fail... this is sooooo strange... and wonderful... emotive cinematic intro, tiny fairy bells, glitching, grungy dubstep, wait what, jazz? You surprised me repeatedly. I LOVE THIS. Quote
timaeus222 Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) I heard this in the workshop. And I survived. This is one eclectic mix in a sea of mangled samples. Edited January 9, 2015 by timaeus222 Quote
Cephalo the Pod Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Yeah, this was definitely made by the same Remixer who made Cancer. What is surprising is that it's even creepier than Cancer. Quote
DimeTower Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 If you don't know the source tunes, this might be unlistenable (depending on taste). If you DO know the source tunes, buckle up and hang on - what a unique, bending, totally on the edge arrangement. Truly felt like it was telling a story of battling to survive, barely surviving, getting healthy, getting hurt again, NOT surviving, and then moving onto a mellow afterlife. Excellent, unique, intriguing - a great piece. Quote
Emunator Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Well this is really fascinating! I love the unusual style fusion, I feel like you explored a lot of new ground compared to your past work. There's a part of me that wants to hear a full arrangement of "The Goddess Appears" just based on the last 2 minutes of your track, but it bookends this nicely and gives the listener a relaxing reprieve if they make it to the end Really great, subtle integration of orchestral elements throughout the song, as well. Love the rapidfire heartbeat integration at 3:19, I felt so tense when I heard that the first time! If I had to critique anything on this, it would be the tape stop effects, which don't really seem to sync perfectly to the rest of the song every time and actually make this sound jittery in an unintentional/distracting way. For example, 2:39, 2:55, and especially 4:38 just seem... egregious, and break up the song flow without feeling deliberate, like a lot of the other glitches/fx in your song do. Also, most of the mix feels a touch dry, could very well be an intentional mixing choice but it leaves some of the more minimalist sections sounding just a bit too sparse. I've really walked away from this with a lot of respect for you as an arranger, and find myself absolutely captivated by what you've created here. Very glad to see someone like you doing something completely different from the rest of the crowd! Quote
bluestreaks Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Really like the integration of the Game Over music, especially. Very impressive overall! Quote
Black_Doom Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Yes! Million times yes! At first I didn't believe my ears: I heard orchestral intro, which I didn't expect to hear, but then... Well, I got some usual Brent's magic - some weird dubstep-ish, glitchy as hell, but always so brilliant music Also, for some reason, that moment at 2:45 reminds me of one of his masterpieces - "I Tried". And, damn, this one has jazz outro... So awesome <3 Quote
Crulex Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Hmmm.....this is such a bizarre mix, as was the case with Cancer, but the difference being that I know the sources to this one and so I have more of an understanding to the sounds and distortions going on, which I think helped me. A little bit too much distortion at some points for me, but that's just a personal taste thing, not a real complaint on the merit of the ReMix itself, as I recognize the grit that it brings to this mix on a dubstep level. Interesting on how it sort of turns into a smoother jazz version of Goddess at the end. Such a weird mix, but certainly not a bad one. Nice job. Quote
OCR Podcast Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 I'm so confused! And happy. And horrified? This ReMix is like a Magic Eye in that you need to give up and unfocus your mind for anything to make sense-- and then, when it finally does, oh does it. Oh does it. Does it? I love it. Quote
Chernabogue Posted December 20, 2015 Posted December 20, 2015 A very bizarre remix, yet again from Redg. Don't hate on me but even if I can feel the hard work in this remix, I'm not a big fan of it. The 2:05 part reminded me of The Dark Knight's soundtrack (The Joker's theme) and was the best part. Nice job. Quote
Necrox Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Really nailed the delay section. Lots to complement in the sound design department overall. The jazz sounds great; it added that extra quality that put the mix together. Kudos for being eclectic. Quote
