Jivemaster Posted May 8, 2002 Share Posted May 8, 2002 Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening 'Tail Cave (Beatdown Mix)' Peeples' songs are always top notch, and this is no exception, despite being one of his earlier works. The song starts with a right panned clavi and some strings, and a left panned piano, playing the main melody. Suddenly the hard pounding drums enter, catching you by surprise. The drums while a little distorted are still most excellent, although Scott could have perhaps taken a little more time and care at perfecting their level. A Peeples trade-mark analogue like synth appreggo accompanies the drums along with a low profile bass, adding to the groove. The song changes abruptly several times between the light instrumental parts and the pounding groove, which increases interest. Sadly, Scott does not try to go too far with this one, keeping mainly to these two patterns and not adding much variation. It's all good though, and at 3:40, it doesn't get boring. A good listen that does the original Game Boy tune proud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skawttieboy Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 This is an awesome remix.....I love it alllll the way around...and from the only Zelda game I DIDN'T beat... Anyways, I like the beat that goes on in this song, heavy and upbeat. Very enjoyable! Great remix! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 what i like most about this remix, is the way it captures the LEGEND OF ZELDA DUNGEON FEEL . the song starts and i'm thinkin' whoa! i'm in the tail cave all over again! download it and you'll see what i mean.

Asterin Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 Man, I've listened to this piece for over a year now, and it still rocks the house...literally. The base in this is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The baseline powerfully shakes my whole car when I'm driving. And that, to put it mildly, ROCKS!

the warlock Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 Man this totally kicks ass, not to put too finer point on it. Love the extreme bassline as well as the timing with the transitions from slow to fast beat. Everything about this is damn good and as Mad_Bastard said, this does capture the feeling of the dungeon. Top draw music from one of my fave ReMixer's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icct Hedrix Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 Ahhh...music. Good music. Great music. Ah fuck it. One of the greatest ReMixes of all time. Even for Scotts first ReMix, it still kicks ass. One of Scotts greatest hits of all time. Like DjP said. turn down your subwoofer or you may be blow into the wall. P.S. for anyone that cares (which im guessing no one does) this was the remix that got me hooked. (see G.D. post 'Addiction') Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladykaiyu Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 Wow...that's about the only thing I could think when I first heard this mix. This is my favorite Link's Awakening mix... ...and if you're listening to this on headphones, make sure you turn them down before that drum loop come in unless you wanna get a major earache...but this is still an awesome piece. VERY highly recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonectric Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 This is an awesome ReMix! I totally love how it goes from quiet and slow to loud, fast stuff, and I'd say this is my second favorite mix ever! This was the mix that got me coming back for more! It was my first mix downloaded from here and I still listen to it over and over. Great mix Peeples! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maniacodepressif Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Very very nice mix...but it's good enough to demand at least 192kps not 128kps to enjoy more closely to the master mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNemo Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Very great remix. Really great ideas, but the distorted sound of the mix sounds more like a digital track peaking out than a song with purposely distorted drums. Otherwise, I think it is awesome, and I seem to be the only one who thinks the track sounds like digital distortion rather than overdrive distortion, but who am I to judge what form of purposely "distorting" a piece of music sounds better, right?

SEODRohan Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 One of my favorite parts about this remix is the fact that parts of it remind me of the Light world dungeon theme from Link to the Past. And to agree with everyone else, yes the bass is incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Final_metroid Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 The original song reminds of the sector 4 [AQA] from Metroid Fusion. But back to the point. This song surprised me at 1:06 cause I thought it would remain mysterious and stuff. Anyways, nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicholai_maelstrom Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 I think that Scott outdid himself with this one. I've listened to a few of his remixes and they were good. But this one... this one gave me goosebumps. Congratulations man! At first when I started it up, the song was... totally Gameboy. I didn't see any real difference from the original and I was really disappointed, but, I should know by now not to ever judge something by the first however many seconds, or however many paragraphs, or however many verses... As soon as the piano came in, I started feeling a little bit better about the song. But... at 00:01:04, I think that my jaw must have broken through the Earth's crust, mantle, and core, shot through the other side and knocked out some poor guy in China. You used an impressive drop there man... I never would have expected something like that, slow, and mediocre, like just about any dungeon music from any Zelda game, to turn Drum and Bass... Congratulations on a FLAWLESS transition. I hope to hear something more from you in the future along these lines (possibly a remix of the original Zelda's dungeon music?). I bow to you tonight, Scott. Keep up the excellent work, man. (List of expressions during the song...) ------------- 00:00:01 - 00:00:41 (wow... this is... yeah... ahem...) 00:00:42 - 00:01:03 (that's nice...!) 00:01:04 - 00:03:40 (HOLY CHRIST!!! ROCK ON DUDE!) ------------- (end list) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meccaneer Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Man, I really want to complain. But, I just can't. It's not really d&b, though... more like breaks/bigbeat. Lemme listen again real quick... I would have used different instrumentation; that's about it. It's a pretty rockin' remix, really. Maybe EQ some things some more. Nice work, Scott.

KogeJoe Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 The opening's just the original, but then in the re-mix, the melody starts on the first beat, instead of the 2nd 8th note. Really caught me off guard. The Tail Cave is one of my favorite tracks in the game. A lot of the rest of the sound track is just variation on this one theme. And the Tail Cave itself is just a take of the Wind Fish Ballad in minor! The original composer(s) for the game really went balls to the wall on it!

Nutritious Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I like a lot of the ideas Scott's got going here, especially for an early mix on the site. What really detracts from the song for me, though, is the distortion in the mix when the drums come in, especially with the kick. It sounds like it's either digital clipping or it's been slammed hard against a limiter. Anyway, it's not enough to keep this song off my playlist though, still good stuff.

Rekklis Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Oh... My... God... This is the reason I come to OCRemix.org Not only is this from my favorite game, but as the song continues to grow on me, it slowly rises to the top of my list. I have never really enjoyed the Dungeon music all that much, but I'm loving it now. Good Show! 11/10 (Ain't I crafty? *snicker*) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollgagh Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I originally downloaded this in May '03 and immediately panned it out of my keeper playlist (I hadn't gotten past the intro), but realized my mistake a couple months later when it popped up on random when I wasn't paying attention. This song has been near the top of my all time favorites since then. Well, it's been a hell of a long time since I last listened to it, so I decided to give it another play tonight to see if it's still got the magic, and holy shit, did it deliver in spades. This is one of THE staple OCR's that should be in EVERY OCRite's playlist. It's just that damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

42 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Truthfully, when I first listened to this I didn't really much care for it, but now it's growing on me. The first half comes on too strong and could potentially frighten innocent bystanders, and that's what initially turned me off to this mix. Like I said, the more I listen to this the more I like it and here some really interesting things in this mix like the piano and certain snippets of the mix that sound familiar and give me a feeling in the back of my mind that I should recognize them.

OceansAndrew Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 The mix starts out really weak, but I figured i'd listen all the way through, just to be fair, and i'm glad I did. Though the percussion is excessively loud and sounds to be clipping, the beat is hot, and the track works pretty well. What could use a little work is some humanization on the piano, harpsichord, and the contrapuntal synth. Not enough to kill the mix by any means, but it does make it sound a little dated.

Venus Lighthouse Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Yeah, the drums are most deffinitely clipping, and they probably could have used a nice hat and tom fill coming in, but they work and fill out the mix nicely. And a note to everyone else- do not play this mix near your grandma- Mine damn near had a heart attack when the drums first came in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcbq Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 This was a song i just randomly came across and just wanted to see if it was any good. the intro gives me the feeling that link just walked in and is just exploring but when it starts going every thing hits the fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
