orkybash Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 Final Fantasy VIII 'Desperados' Cool. I don't like the intro that much, but one the remix gets going its better. Something's still wrong with it, though... After listening through it, I think it's the mixing. You can hardly hear anything other than the drums, the bass, and that first synth loop that comes in. Which isn't bad, it just means that it's repetitive. I'm liking the break in the middle, though. Overall, I kinda like this, but kinda feel like it could use some more work. If I could dance without embarrassing myself, I would definitely be dancing to this mix. It's not the kind of thing I'd just listen to sitting down though.

Hamu-Sumo Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 Very nice techno remix. I like it! The start is a little bit too long, but the rest of the remix take it back. Cool! 7/10 (1=worst; 10=best) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroRyoku Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 Yummy This mix starts and hits hard the whole way through, I could listen to such a beat for hours. Nice work, man. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master X Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 I loved the intro, it leads you up to an "oh shit" moment when the original song begins. I could listen to it forever, its definantly on my gamermix playlist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlak Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Oof. This one is a very WORTHY remix of "A Man with a Machine Gun" My hats off to Standby for the remix. I love the length of it, nothing repetitive in it either. And some very original moments are in there too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eden Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 Around 1995, 1996 this sort of music was *very* popular in the Netherlands. The hit lists were filled with it. You call it techno, we called it (happy) hardcore. ...I just wanted to say that if this remixn had been released back then, Standby had gotten VERY rich. Wow, this remix totally rocks my world.

GameMstr1 Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 Not bad, but I liked "Man With Another Trance Machine" better. I GIVES IT 4 STARS **** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madoushi Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Yum....Techno. ^__^ I JUST LOVE THIS SONG!!! THe techno feel to it, yet....a gamish feeling to it. ~__~ Feed me more. HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakredfire Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Kickass remix....just BRING OUT THE STRINGS!!!! The synth was the best part in the original. Happy hardcore suits this song perfectly. Sounds almost Dune-inspired (dune as in Hardcore Vibes, not Arrakis). Slick DnB and Snare programming. JUST BRING OUT THE SYNTH!!!! please. One more version and it'll be perfect...

Vestiges Vargos Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Nice remix, i love the build up in the intro leading into that bass, excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapuran Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Nice work, I really like Standby's work. If only there was more than just the two that are out now... regardless, this piece is one of my favorites from OCRemix to date. Great work, and keep it up!

Tatan0x! Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 I've been wanting to say this for a long time now. Best techno rave around here. great work standby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heyo Axel Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 The problem with Desperados, as you all have said, is that the beat and some of the synths are loud, while other synths and such are too soft. So, to truly appreciate this, you have to really crank it, prefferably on headphones. It's one of my favorite OC remixes... Huge props to the maker.

Bummer Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Full throttle dudes! Techno as fast as you can get it anywhere. The beats just explode in your face accompanied with many different synths, an arrangement that even if you don´t like it, your leg will still shake it with the rhytm. Overhelming techno stuff from Stanby, at maximum velocity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arekuthelastspartan Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 wow...after hearing desperados, i was sent raving around my room in a frenzy! this is the song that finally urged me to register on here to post replies. great work, standby. keep it up!

Kurokun1293 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 You trick us with a slow beat...then pick us up with a faster beat, then slam the heavy stuff into us, the stuff that make people headbang. Im a skeptic about remixing this song, as it already SOUNDS like one, but you did it quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Less Ashamed Of Self Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Is the slick D'n'b snare break the main break from one of those classic DDR songs? Dead End or Dynamite Rave... can't remember which and can't seem to find a sample. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soapy Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 You took my favorite final fantasy 8 song, and made it better. I bow in both respect and appreciation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraggy Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Man with a Machine Gun is one of my favorite songs ever made by Nobou Uematsu, and me being a Nobou Uematsu fan makes that a big deal. This THE favorite mix of Nobou Uematsu's songs of mine, and me bing a Nobou Uematsu fan makes that a big deal. The slow start gives you a delusion and all of the sudden BAM, PIMPSLAPPED, you break into a hardcore beat. I LOVE YOU STANDBY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobwillis Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Nice treatment of the piece. I'm glad you stayed away from something serious. 3:20 kicks ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
