orkybash Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 Metroid 'Secrets' Takes a long time (almost 1:20) to really get going, and even after that I can't say this mix was all that interesting. The same riff gets repeated over and over and over, sometimes by a beepy NES-type synth, sometimes by a low saw-wave synth, and sometimes by both. Then there's a drum loop that, though it drops out quite frequently, repeats the same thing the entire time it's going. All of these elements are combined in different ways throughout the mix, but Main Finger doesn't put forth the effort to change any of them up. So sorry, but this remix really ain't that special, or even very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Main Finger Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 lol! Yup, that's my remix I made over a year ago. Honestly, I agree with you about everything you said. The mix really isnt anything special. I admit, I suck, it's just kinda fun to make music and even funner when you can get a proffesional site like this to post it^_^ I think my newer stuff is a lot better, but none of that is really that special either =P I dont even have any dj equipment, I just used Fruity Loops 3 to make it. Oh well, at least there's a lot you can do with that program^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlatformerMastah Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Nah, I disagree. I like this mix. Very fun to listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobs0n Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 I also think its very interrrrresting tune... /me like de bazz! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherOneBitesTheDust Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 I always thought this was crap. That is, until today when I listened to it again and, for some reason, I absolutely fell in love with those quarter note "BANG BANG BANG"s present at 0:37-0:38, then continuing for the rest of the mix. It still has that "crap" quality to it, but I could just imagine the funniness in playing DDR to this song: using 3 jumps, one for each bang, constantly throughout the mix. The thought of someone jumping like a mofo to this cracks me up. At 3:17 the bass seems to be dropped on each bang, in which, while creating a difference in the song it very much needed, got rid of the enjoyment factor. 3 cheers for cheesy songs!

jordex Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 This song's psycho! Its good! i'll only listen to it once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killthrush Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 The little double kick every fourth measure makes me want to kick every person I see. It's pretty simple, but it works. Other than the beat, there isn't an awful lot that impresses me. But, due to its addictive qualities it's in my rotation. Dammit. 7/10 overall.

glassdomino Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 i live off of bass and any song with bass as its main course makes me happy, although i have read that its attributed to the vibration releasing adreniline into your body slowly addicting you to bass. this song made my downsatirs neighbers hit the celing with a broom, so it gets 6/10 cause i reserve 10 for a handful of people.

avaris Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Holy crap base, well the biggest thing bout this mix is making an entire song out of something for short and utterly simple. Not easy by any means, kudos for the arrangement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KogeJoe Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Actually, even from the early days, I thought this was kind of a beautiful melody, and I wondered why Hip Tanaka never went anywhere else with it... It was featured here and there, re-used in Super Metroid, and later appearing in the ending theme. I dunno, but I think the composer for Metroid 2 tried to do something like it for the title theme. GREAT elaboration on this strange tune. I think you could have extended it even further. I started getting ideas myself. Too bad I'm not a remixer... Kudos.

OceansAndrew Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 z z z the percussion gets nice and layered, and the filtered bass has a nice vibration effect to it, but the repetition kills it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonAvenger Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Definately full of bass. Overall it takes too long to get anywhere though. The drums are killing me too, way too fake sounding these days. Would have been nice to have had more variation on the melody, also. Not for me, sorry.

Rozovian Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I should try my hand at this short source. The judges would love it. Lots of layers of drums, big bass. Wish it'd do more with the melody, it's just repeated over different parts of the music. The breakdown at 2:50 is pretty cool in how the bass recedes, tho the track doesn't really build from there much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Wow, there is an incredibly Huge contrast of sounds here. What and all with the bass and percussion. It reminds me of the conversation from Encounters of the Third Kind mixed with a level from Battletoads from the NES. Also, the melody buried so deep in there its not even really that funny. Over all I rate it a solid "meh" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
