Durinthal Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 This is definitely a unique piece at OCR, being a ReMix done by the song's original composer. This is a fairly repetitive and not too complex song, with the bass opening up and running the entire length of it. Various synth instruments join in at different times, compiling it into a theme that fans of the genre and/or the original game would probably like, but it's not suggested for everyone else.

Lunevalkyrave Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 This is a very interesting piece, although from the review I was expecting much more, ow well. Over all the beat is flowwing and the use of sounds is appropriate for this mix. No surprises though, this one didnt knock me out of my seat but it takes a lot more then a smooth remix to do that..

schwagnah Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 I thought the mix was fun, and it was actually good; however, I did not like the slow motion helicopter noise at the beginning, it kind of made things really slow. Then around 1:05 things started to pick up a little, but it never got past that initial speed. Its like the little train the could, but it couldn't. The mix is good overall, but I feel that it could have been much more expanded on. Know what I mean? 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyan_Ide Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 This piece had a very strong and pronounced beat. I dissliked the strange, helicoter noise that a previous poster had mentioned, it distracted from the rest of the song. Overall the song kind of felt as if it was missing something. However, what was there was all very cool, and it is also cool having the origninal mixer remix his own sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordex Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 After reading about the Fat Man doing a remix of his own song I had to write a review Not much happens in this song but the bassline is pretty cool After a minute the song does seem a little stale but it's cool to have a self-remix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watkinzez Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 This song is pretty much a three minute intro, sadly. While listening to it you keep thinking to yourself, 'here it comes, this is it'. Except it never does actually go anywhere. The bassline just connects everything else, which seem to be rather random, together. Not a regular listen, I'd have to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktriton Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I have to say that I didn't like this the first time, but I dug it the second time around. I haven't heard or played 7th Guest, but I'll be damned if this loop isn't stuck in my head. If I run into some free time from projects, I just might do an arrangement of this remix Either way, Mr. Sanger, if you ever get to read this, I absolutely LOVED your book--it really was inspiring--and I hope to one day see another mix added from either you or Team Fat!

Polo Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Those ambient pads are definitely befitting a haunted mansion. The bass synth seizes the bass from the source with both hands and amplifies it. A tense and thumping bass slowly rises and fits into every 16th beat, first prominently and then a bit subdued. That chewy, bubbly, filtered synth plays the lead in Dolls of Doom so, so discreetly (on beat, but slow). Twice does it howl the first half of its intro before vanishing like a ghost, then the third time (2:15) it figures "might as well go all the way." At this point, the initial bass synth goes off autopilot and varies the tail end of its loop until fadeout. So while not a lot of risks are taken, the groove, creepy vibe, and creative spark are there just the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Though i'm not sure about the title (even knowing the backstory), this is some pretty cool stuff. It's a lot more atmospheric than danceable, i'd say, but it does feature a pretty pulsing bass line. It really does sound mysterious enough to be in the game, which I guess makes pretty good sense.

metalsnakejuice Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I am very intrigued by this. I have find the game now after listening to this. It does give you the chills and that bass line works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yosefu Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Nice mix for a classic game but i keep on expecting something better. Over all its still worth listening to, Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emunator Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 The novelty factor of this mix is quite high, considering it's one of the few composer-submitted remixes, but even the Fat Man's admitted it's not as good as it could have been, and I'm inclined to agree. The groove that is here is pretty high quality and enjoyable, but it falls flat as a full-blown song. No offense meant to the remixer though, who obviously has more street cred than just about anyone on this site This one just doesn't do it for me.
