Gario Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Previous Decision Oioioi This one's an 8-year old track I thought I had to revisit. Hope it expresses what I meant better than before!

MindWanderer Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 8 years later Obviously I wasn't around back then to hear your original submission, but you sure know what you're doing now! It's a gorgeous, clean soundscape with great energy and an exciting mix of electronic and Asian instruments. Well worth the wait. YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimpazilla Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I wasn't around for the first version either, but I'm loving this version. Great energy, good arrangement, mix is clean. I love the mix of instrumentation. Very enjoyable! YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Nice to have something join djp's version of this theme on OCR; I'm so conditioned by Dave's arrangement, that it struck me as odd when I heard the differences in the original song compared to his take, so that just shows how long it's been since I've listened to any of this. It's been 9 years since I've heard the rejected version of this, so I supposed the old expression fits: "You've come a long way, baby." Great energy, Guilherme; just a totally different animal compared to the source tune. YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gario Posted March 9, 2019 Author Share Posted March 9, 2019 (edited) Looking back at the prior rejection, it seems that the mixing was apparently an issue, as well as a few strange chords. Doesn't seem like there's any of that, now - it's crisp, important elements pop out just right, and the eclectic instrumentation is clicking superbly throughout. On a separate note, I do love how much different this sounds than the source - whereas one is a melancholy, sobering track, this is upbeat and adventurous. It's always great when OCR tracks can bring such a different light to sources like that, so I'm happy to give this a solid pass along with my colleagues on this one. Great work!
