YoshiBlade Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Original track is a new car, this Remix is that new car smell. One after another, but both equal pleasurable to the senses. I came to this track with no reference point other than a love on the new DKC games. So I listened to the original and the Remix and then the original and the Remix and am now currently listing to the remix....this game is not but a year old, and already someone has created a track that I would expect to hear in the game itself, It's a strange feeling, but a welcome one!

timaeus222 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I think this was successful in evoking the tropical carefree environment from the original. Maybe some instruments are a bit stiff, but it's executed fairly well overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chernabogue Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Really interesting remix, especially when I primarily know the artist for his piano-only remixes. Great atmosphere, both tropical and chilly -- fits the game's title I guess! I love the percussion work -- it's not overwhelming, but still quite present as well. Some samples are not too realistic (the flute), but it's far from being a problem. Very nice one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitrozsz Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Great use of the xylophone in this track. The flute at the beginning of the latter half seemed a little soft, but once the strings started to compliment the flute, it wasn’t as bad. And that was quite a build up to the percussion/flute ending there. Overall, it was a nice track. Reminds me of a summer beach party.

tabuhli Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I didn't find this all that great to be honest. The first half was way too similar to the original source, while the second half sounded nothing like the source. I've heard a lot of remixes on this site that found that perfect balance between creative vision and having inspiration from the source of the remix. This wasn't one of them imo. Normally I wouldn't expect so much, it's just that the original music was already very high quality and up to date, so it's a lot harder to enjoy this as much as other remixes that I feel like are more necessary.

Crulex Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Ok, cool, yeah I totally dig this. Taking a theme that sounded like nice easy backwoodsy stroll and giving it a bit of a tropical kick with some orchestration and a bit more energy was a great choice. I've never really had a problem with mixes that are more conservative so long as they get some form of interpretation somewhere, and I feel like the style and some of the samples do enough of that for me here. I really liked how the percussion and flute played off each other in the end, and all around this was a pretty upbeat mix that complements the original track while having it's own moment. Nice!

Pumpkin King Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Hey, thanks guys! Didn't realize people here commented... Much appreciated! Since the tune is already well written and produced, I felt an orchestral version would suit it best. (I've actually done more DKC arrangements, so feel free to look them up!)

You're entitled to your opinion. No hard feelings! Just thought I'd point out, that I did use lots of inspiration coming from the original track in the second half of my remix. First half of the mix was mostly true to the source. But I took inspiration from the lead melody at 1:38 in the original, to create the string patterns at 2:10 in the remix. Even at the end of the remix (3:32), I used the same notation as used in the source (1:52). Just played it differently. Only reason I'm pointing these out, is because it's not easy to hear the similarities. I was pretty happy with how it turned out and always wanted to share how I came up with these ideas.
