Nec5 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Excellent. Most Excellent. What we have here is an oldschool song based on a game from the great C64. This one is both catchy and fun. The lyrics are well done and don't detract at all from your enjoyment of the tune. Sweet stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Prower Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Oh my god! Holy crap! A non orchestrated remix! And I love it! ...Just what are the lyrics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILLiterate Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Very very hot stuff. I'm a lo-fi junkee, so I'm already biased, and then there's UNTS? You might of made the best electronic remix ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makke Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Ach! I forgot to provide the lyrics when I sent the remix in. Well, here they are, so if anyone else asks just point them here. Where once the tiny cottage stoodA mighty palace, dwarfs the wood And there within the highest tower The witch queen wields her mighty power A rule of evil ‘cross the land With ghosts and gargoyles close at hand Her enemies destroyed this night Yet one remains to set things right A pumpkin warrior, brave and good The last survivor from the wood So go now swiftly climb the stair And cut a lock of witch’s hair Seek out the cauldron black And brew a spell to change things back Then the hag will know defeat And thy revenge will be complete These are actually the words printed at the back of the box/cassette case on the original game, so I can't take credit for writing them. They simply fitted as song lyrics, so I don't think I changed anything - just lifted them right off. Anyway, hope y'all will enjoy the tune!

Woe Is You Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I haven't heard anything this groovy since I bought Minimum Maximum. Needs more metalling clangs, though. It ain't kraftwerkian without 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Penwald Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Very nice. I dig this style of music, and what's even more important is that this song is very catchy. And just like it was said before, the lyrics fit very well. Good job with the vocals, too; they sound awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRedBob Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I've listened to this song way more than I should already, and it still doesn't seem old to me. Thanks for the great tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meccaneer Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Indeed, it is all too close to being Kraftwerkian. I love it. The robot rap is gorgeous. Long live the 80s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoboKa Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Wowzers, this is one cool mix...it really teleports me back when Dos games were popular, like Doom 1, that wizard game and whatnot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelloegg Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Wow! This must be a good song if I can remember it a day after I listened to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 This is so amazingly out there I am having trouble even writing a review. If there was ever a movie or game where robots were dressed like Conan the barbarian, this would be the theme song. Completely epic and yet at the same point, completely robo-cheese, it's a totally remarkable mix that I can't decide if I like it or not. One thing I think would improve it would be for the main vocal to be a little higher up frequency-wise, right now it sort of fights against the bass. Most likely fighting with a tron-style morningstar. Very creative and I think after several listens I like it, for the sheer creativity.

HoboKa Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Easily one of OCR's best remixes insofar. It's a must-have , though I tried playing the game...not nearly as cool as this song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackPhantom Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Groovtastic! I really like, but, there's something the puzzles me: how does the name of this song relate to the game or the song itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polo Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Dark textures, high reverb, juicy "shots," and other elements craft a misty but inviting atmosphere. The beat becomes danceable starting at 0:15 (when the buzzy alien synth comes in) and stays solid throughout. But the dynamics of the vocoder are what really sell me on this. Its timing is playful, like it's coloring outside the lines (in this case, not sticking to the same beats as the other players); its storyteller tone likes to stay low and neutral, which makes its higher pitches and fervent moods cute; and it fits right in with the vibe. It commands the buildup during the chorus so well that every time the line "and cut a lock of witch's hair" comes up, I must see, imagine, or physically mimic the action on the beat (the same goes for when I'm not actually listening to this mix but am singing the lyrics to myself). Crazy addicting. Now if you'll excuse me, I must act as barber to a female magic user... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duskvstweak Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 This mix is crazy good! I can't tell what's more fun; the crunchy, funky digi-music or the lyrics "The hag will know defeat"! This mix is fun and I can see it becoming the song that starts my OCR listening sessions. Cool stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timaeus222 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 The vocoder reminds me of a Jamaican voice. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
