227 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Listening to this, I'd say the drums are a bit too overwhelming. At several points they're drowning out the rest of the mix. I like a lot of the ideas presented here, but I just can't get past those drums. If the supporting percussion (shakers, tambourine, cymbals, whatever it all is) was turned down a bit I think I would find this much more enjoyable.

herograw Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Is it just me or are all the links to this mix missing a ".mp3"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Mage Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Is it just me or are all the links to this mix missing a ".mp3"? I think it died. It's still up on the SuperTux mirror, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayza Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Overall well produced and catchy. I found that the way that either some instruments, or the track as a whole was compressed is somewhat distracting. I think I understand the sound you're going for, but to me it takes away from track. I would have preferred hearing a more "open" version of the tune. Overall nice job, I can dig it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisswiss83 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 from writeup: "the mix title alludes to a fairly AYBABTU quote from one of the game's scintillating dialog sequences." One of the funny things about this is Dr. Acula is quoting a French author, Andre Malraux. So the writing is actually brilliant. Ok, it's still not brilliant, but still. Anyway, as usual Noppz delivers. More SotN remixes please. The answer is: http://pics.livejournal.com/mrfurious/pic/0018bxd3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Taucer Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Very nice . Some parts sound like something out of Diddy Kong Racing. But a bit of cheeze isn't necessarily a bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonAvenger Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Hooray for this getting accepted here. Loved it on ThaSauce when I heard it. Can't wait to hear more from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadosho Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Really enjoying this "tricked" out CV mix. Haven't heard anything with trip-hop and CV together before. Holy water! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ness757 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Once again, NoppZ take a song I didn't liek from a game I didn't like and makes it awesome. 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Penwald Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 NoppZ delivers again. Right from the beginning, the track has this cheesy, but wonderful 70s disco feeling to it. The part starting at 1:36 adds even more cheese to it; awesome. The strings at the end of the breakdown (up to 2:48 ) could be a little more powerful. Very weird tempo change at appr. 3:00; however, it works really well with the source tune. Not as catchy as the first part, but close to the original song. Nice drums coming in at 4:06. Here's to hope that NoppZ continues his output of amazingly well done songs in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flare4War Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Been jamming to this lately and realized haven't reviewed it. Basically it kicks ass. It's hands down my favorite Castlevania arrangement. Fantastic work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I love the source on this, easily my favorite from the original soundtrack, which was actually the first original game soundtrack I bought (or maybe it was Xenogears. Whatever..) Way overcompressed I think, but it's catchy as hell, which I suppose is a suitably appropriate way to describe such a mix, with the vampires and demons and all. Nice variation between the 2 sources, and the transition was drawn out long enough that it wasn't noticeably apparent until the shift had already occurred. Arrangement-wise it's completely solid, with some great additional ideas thrown in, and a disco party beat to boot. You don't hear castlevania music arranged like this often, and it's really a cool direction for it to go in. The only issues I have with it is production. It hurts to listen to for extended periods of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmiduke Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Aww-Summ. The whole jumping from idea to idea, tempo to tempo is very rarely pulled off as well as it is here. It's bizarre yet completely sensical at the same time. Strings and synths are sweet. Real sweet. The drums in the first third of the mix are somewhat fizzy, which I don't think sounds too hot. It doesn't kill the blazing heat of the mix though. Basically, the mix is crrrazy good. Which is signifcantly higher regarded than regular, non-crrrazy good good. And NoppZ is godlike, in my view. One of his best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
