djpretzel Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix. Quote
Black_Doom Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) YES! I've been big fan of this mix since I discovered it on Brent's Soundcloud and it still blows up my mind. This is probably the most unusual reinterpretation of one of the most popular VGM tunes. Very, very cool mix! Edited March 27, 2015 by Black_Doom Quote
MusicHunter Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 This remix is pretty cool and i like it and all. but its kinda alittle too much bass on some parts now if you took the bass down just a touch it would be spot on perfect! Quote
timaeus222 Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) This is... weird. I do hear AA in there, and I do think that on arrangement standards it is passable, but for me it was a little too loud. Too boomy, too much distortion, especially in the beginning, and I thought the textures could have been more distinguishable and distinct in this amount of bass; you can make a dystopian remix with more varied textures (you'll hear one from me eventually...). Gets better as it goes on. I wish that Brent would do more of the style in his first accepted mix, though (Eternal Descent); more accessible, and I thought that showed a wider range of skills than he would seem to be letting on for somebody who JUST heard this particular ReMix. In short... I know you can top this! Edited March 28, 2015 by timaeus222 Quote
Brandon Strader Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Another awesome mix... always something good coming from Redg No complaints. Quote
Chiwalker Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 hell yes. this is pretty amazing as a remix - such a vivid and tactile imagery Quote
Rockos Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Automatic goose bumps. The song is so incredible. Never heard something similar and I brought me 'nostalgie'. 1:23 Was the part where I got the best feeling ever hearing this track again. Can't describe how much I love this part. Great mix. No flaw. Thank you. Quote
WesternZypher Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Creepy: this sounds like it belongs to a fallout game....good work Quote
Crulex Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 This is almost what it would be like if there was a hell version of an Aquatic Ambiance level. Just a rough, gritty water level that pushes the boundaries of fairness. While I agree with some of the booming being a bit too forward, it is a great example of giving a normally peaceful theme a darker edge, and I can totally roll with that. Interestingly, this really, really, really, makes me want to see what would happen if you took on Lockjaw's Saga in this style, where booming percussion and dark undertones prevail to begin with. In any event, good ReMix, man. Quote
MrBogus Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Very reminiscent of Amon Tobin's work. In particular, the opening of The Killer's Vanilla from The Foley Room album. youtube.com/watch?v=a21zHR8Y1_Q Quote
metamorphosis Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Holy smokes this was awesome. Did not suspect from the somber beginning, and only wish it was longer. Quote
arkmabat Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 This was quite the experience. Makes Nine Inch Nails sound like radio music. I enjoyed the song but a day later was diagnosed with temporary labyrinthitis/vertigo. Probably won't add it to any playlists any time soon haha. Quote
FastnBulbous Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 There's some really interesting moments in this and the atmosphere is awesomely oppressive. I agree with the comments of others that the bass is too boomy in places, really needs tightening up, and the distortion is a bit too much at times and could do with offsetting with cleaner sounds, perhaps with some higher frequency content to widen the spectral exploration.

Chernabogue Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 New review: This is an interesting remix. It's far from being my cup of tea, but eh, some diversity won't hurt. It actually reminds me of Children of the Monkey Machine's stuff at some points. The production is very clean, even with all the distortion here and there. I wished it went totally crazy with more percussion at some points, but the mix stays at the same level of intensity all the time. Interesting concept though. Quote
Necrox Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 How about Deep Aquatic Ambience? This mix pushes the source (especially the main melody segement) into new territory, like Pandora's Box just opened in the depths and someone dove in. Beautiful mangling, great mix. That last flicker at the end is such a fine touch, inspired writing. Quote
metamorphosis Posted November 19, 2016 Posted November 19, 2016 Still listening to this 1.5 years later - brilliant work. Quote
