orkybash Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 Silent Hill 'Nay Tomorrow' Beautiful. My only gripe is that the nay sounds a little thin, but even that adds a rawness to the mix that's an advantage on it's own. That, and the ending sounded cut off. But for a first submission this is excellent! Quote
Legion303 Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 It was OK, but I kept expecting drums to come in. Now this is a nice mellow remix if you want to feel mellow, but I'm not in a mellow mood right now, so it didn't really work for me. I know sometime when I just want to kick back and relax, this remix will hit the spot. And DJP, I'm glad you set your 'murrkin flag and beer down long enough to post this. -steve Quote
m68030 Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 I quite enjoyed this one. This was one of the many tracks from the Silent Hill OST that I loved. It's such a nice soft track, and it's place in the game is so sad.. brings back memories of playing the game one dreary afternoon, rain pouring down outside my window, basking the room in a deep grey light, only the rotted halls of alternate Silent Hill lit by a pocket flashlight to guide me deeper and deeper in to my own personal little hell. A soft tune reminding me of what was lost, and what more I have left to loose. very nice. Quote
Solanalos Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 Did the first couple of notes throw anyone off? I instantly thought of U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday. I like this remix Quote
Dyne Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 There are soo many great things I can say about Tamimi's remix from Silent Hill. In fact, way too many to list in a single post. But I'd like to comment on his playing of the nay. I've never, even from a seasoned recording artist, ever heard anyone play with such emotion before. I know I sound like I'm kissing butt, however, I'm not. I just really enjoyed this remix, and I am definately looking forward to hearing more remixes by Tamimi. The mix itself just feels so full of emotion, it's very amazing. I hope I can someday write a remix that sounds just as full of emotion as this remix does. Excellent job Tamimi, excellent first remix! Quote
Joe Redifer Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 Excellent job. I really enjoy this ReMix, and hope Tamimi submits more in the future. I recently beat Silent Hill 2 on the Xbox and am now playing through Silent Hill 1 since I enjoyed the second game so much. I can see how this would fit into that series of games, though I am not that far in the first game yet. This does sound like tunage from part two as well. This mix is very emotional, and I think that it works better without drums. Like others my main gripe would be the cut-off ending which could easily be fixed with a simple fade-out, but that in no way diminihes my enjoyment of the rest of the song. Excellent! Quote
Ebonyks Posted August 30, 2002 Posted August 30, 2002 Yeah, i don't like the cut off ending much either, but regardless, it's a fine remix. Smooth and relaxing Quote
po! Posted August 31, 2002 Posted August 31, 2002 very ethereal.... this is GOOD new age sounds like it could be on a cd called "Nay Relaxation" or something... i like the steady trance-like eigth notes.. and the nay just glides over everything so smoothly Quote
Nines Posted September 1, 2002 Posted September 1, 2002 This is probably the most moving peice I've heard come out of OCR (although I can't say I've heard even a fraction of the songs here). I loved the minimalist approach; it seems like too many people try to cram too much sound into their music. Not every song needs drums. Not every song needs a bassline. This is a definate must-hear remix. I greatly anticipate any future contributions by Tamimi. Good job. Quote
M@ Posted September 7, 2002 Posted September 7, 2002 My hat comes off to you, sir. The nay, although admittedly an instrument I had not previously heard, has a relaxing, hollow sound suited perfectly for this piece. The first time I heard this, I too expected a beat to kick in, perhaps a slow, 'empty' beat, but on reflection, the piece works just as well without one, if not better. Well done. Quote
Veovis Posted September 7, 2002 Posted September 7, 2002 Never heard of a Nay before this, but I must say, I really liked how it was used. This was one of the only emotional tracks in the game, and it is done justice here. Gave me shivers. Awesome job! 5/5 Quote
Chrissylas Posted September 8, 2002 Posted September 8, 2002 I love this remix... it's so full of emotion. Definitely recommended to anyone who just wants to sit down and relax. I might just have to burn it to a cd and stick it on loop so I can listen to it while reading a book or even just thinking. Great stuff Tamimi... I'm definitely up for more. Quote
Landon Posted October 7, 2002 Posted October 7, 2002 If I could ever live my life by a song, this is it. A gorgeous song. Everything well balanced. Instead of the nay dragging along the other parts, they all seem to support each other. Guaranteed to send chills up your spin, especially around 2:50. 9.5 out of 10. Quote
Eccles Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 I thought I posted here...but I guess I didnt so here we go... Im not overly keen on the electric piano sample used. It doesnt ruin the mood or anything, it just...doent sound right to me or something. I'd have preferred an actual piano, but whats done is done (and its not like it makes it an apalling tack or anything) The piece however, is amazingly beautiful... I had actually heard a Nay many times before this piece, but this is the only time it really sounded this good... I also like the sine wave that plays after the Nay...thats just beautiful The only real problem with it is the sharp cut-off...I would have preferred a fadeout or if possible some form of improvised finish. I highly recommend this track to anyone, not just the fans of silent hill...its just brilliant. Quote
Patriarch K Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 I dont really like the electric piano either, but i just love this as it is. GREAT work...When i listened to this, you got me to think about the game "Atlantis - the lost empire"(CRYO) i dont know why. But i really love this. Quote
Kadosho Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 Soft hearted, yet dark melodic tune. really liked your take on this. Its fine. Not by its sound alone, but you can really feel like you're totally alone when you hear it. Is that a good, or bad response? Quote
Babysoft-chan Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 ;_; This is absolutely beautiful! I've seen a couple of people say that the electric piano wasn't as good as a real piano would have been, but I think it added to the atmosphere so well! Once again I've seen a couple of people mention something along the lines of creepy. Me, I happened to be writing a sad/romantic scene for a story when I started listening to this. The scene is now a page longer than it was supposed to be. It also reminds me of something from a fantasy-like game/movie/cartoon/etc. Okay, now I'm rambling. ^^; Key words: Beautiful, sad, romantic, inspiring. And with that last note, I'll end by saying this remix is going on my "Dramatic Inspiriation" playlist. Great work! Quote
FinalGamer Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 I never thought I would here a Nay in a videogame remix of all places! I heard one a long time ago, and loved its tune. This instrument is very haunting yet very sweetening and for this song, it works tremendously well. The piano and nay accompany together so well for this, that this song sounds so. . .saddening, yet also hopeful. Excellent work for Tamimi and such expert use of a wondrous instrument on a great song. Quote
Navi Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 After this excellent 2002 release, Tamimi dropped off the face of the OCR earth, and I'm quite disappointed in that. Could it possibly be djp's anti-Arab (or anti-SE Asian) hate mail that I regularly recieve in my inbox? Probably not, however I am still "expecting more" as the mixer himself so eloquently put it earlier in this thread. This mix is pure trance (not in the electronica sense) delight, with the kind of vibes I would find on a Pure Moods CD (which I do own) and the soft, soothing melancholic feeling that draws well upon the original. The live instrument recording only adds to the excellence of this piece in leaps and bounds. I have no problems with the other instruments (specifically that e. piano that is being scrutinized). In one word: beautiful. In two words: beautiful and sad. However, i have a minor gripe with the abrupt ending, however, it can be forgiven. Please make more music, Tamimi. Quote
ifirit Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 However, i have a minor gripe with the abrupt ending, however, it can be forgiven. Interesting note: In the early days of in-game music ripping, someone tried to record "Not Tomorrow" in mp3 form. The purpose was to capture an extended version of "Not Tomorrow," in order to allow the fans to listen to more than what is on the Original Soundtrack. However, lacking proper editing software, this extended version was cut-off in an irregular place during the recording. Despite this, the track was promptly placed on the internet for all fans to download. This Extended Version of "Not Tomorrow" was the first attempt at making a "Complete Soundtrack" of Silent Hill's music, mostly because the official soundtracks often lacked certain tracks or complete versions of those tracks. You might even go so far as to say it was the first available mp3 of any in-game music not released on CD. Who knows? Anyway, the point is that Tamimi's aburpt ending is a direct tribute to that first mp3 version of "Not Tomorrow," a common misunderstanding among newer fans of the series. Since this mp3 was released on the internet, several incarnations of a Complete Soundtrack have passed through the Silent Hill circles, the most famous of which are Dustfungus' Silent Hill Media, Silent Hill Forum's Complete OST sections, and most recently The Sound of Silence. If anyone is interested in listening to this earlier copy of the Extended Version of "Not Tomorrow, " send me a PM. Quote
^^DeusEx^^ Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 VERY enjoyable music here......calm and ethereal allmost.....great stuff to listen to while taking it easy But I have to admit that I agree with so many others.....quite the abrupt ending.....but thats a small thing.... Well worth the download Quote
Navi Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 If anyone is interested in listening to this earlier copy of the Extended Version of "Not Tomorrow, " send me a PM. Interesting. Thanks, for that info. I would like to hear it, actually. Quote
Redslash Posted February 1, 2005 Posted February 1, 2005 not a bad remix but i do not share everyone elses vision in this remix i really can't tell what really sets this apart from its original and all the other remixes of other songs which are made... not that its bad although i hate that ending it sounds like he took the notes from the midi and failed to create an ending proerly for mp3 format i also don't see what's so emotional about it... this song just feeds on the emotion of the orginal it doesn't really build on anything nor does it necessarily make it worse maybe i'm just being cynical???
