Liontamer Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Hey, This is a track I did for the OUS "Bad Dudes" EP ( http://www.oneupstudios.com/BD/ ) that nobody downloaded. The theme of the project was boss, villain, and other generally evil tunes, so I did a medley of "Sub-castle" from SMW and my favorite excerpt from "Dancing Mad." I wasn't planning on doing a track for the project at first, but changed my mind at the last minute and pounded this out in about 8 straight hours the day before the deadline. I didn't really have OCR in mind when I made it though, so I decided to have a little fun and experiment a little with multitracking and punching in. So who knows, this might be my first rejection. In any case, I had fun making this, and I hope you guys like it. Thanks again to Mustin for doing the production. Enjoy, fgts. - Dhsu
Liontamer Posted December 18, 2006 Author Posted December 18, 2006 http://snesmusic.org/v2/download.php?spcNow=smw - "Sub Castle BGM" (smw-15.spc) http://snesmusic.org/v2/download.php?spcNow=ff6 - "Dancing Mad" (part 3, 1:23-in) [ff6-314c.spc] I thought this was impressively played, especially the intro and outro runs. The arrangement could have been more interpretive, as far as the standards here go. Still, a good job adapting the "Sub Castle BGM" to solo piano including the different supporting writing, though I was disappointed to not hear more going on with the supporting writing here in an expansive sense. Good segue to the "Dancing Mad" usage on organ at 2:01, though I disappointed at how straightforward that was. What was once an organ in the SPC is now handled by a better organ, but the writing was practically the same. Nonetheless, the piano part continued on arranging the SMW material nicely before retaking center stage with the source melody at 2:43 and closing with those ridiculous(ly good) runs at 3:20. Absolutely solid production as well from Mustin, and you know I was bitching about that quick job done on the original version of Nayru's Love, so this is a far cry from that. Conservative arrangement from David, but well handled and skillfully performed. Sans the organ, can you play this one blindfolded too, fgt? YES
The Orichalcon Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 Personally, I would've liked the bass of the organ to be much louder to really give it that extra kick. It's played well, good combination of both themes. I remember listening to this one on Bad Dudes and not recognising the Kefka part. But now that I know it's actually Dancing Mad Part 3, it fits better. Pretty good work, people will enjoy this. YES
