orkybash Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Sonic the Hedgehog 3 'Ice Attack' This is some solid trance here, people. Though I don't have time to rant about the merits of it, I'll just say that it's really enjoyable. That is, if you like trance, but from past experience of the general population at OC that really shouldn't be a problem. ^^ Me likes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solarus Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Cute little sounds. That's this song. It's trance with cute sounds. Really enjoyable. A solid start of T-C. Good Work! //Solarus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metasquares Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Very true to the original, yet different. Very good work, especially considering it's by a new author. Keep up the good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghetto Lee Lewis Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 While it's a great song, the arrangement and structure are incredible, it lacks a bit in terms of atmosphere. Proffesional Trance songs usually make use of a lot of reverb, something this piece seems to lack. I'm sure however, that it would sound much better played in a club or open setting than through a pair of headphones. It was mentioned some of the sounds are "cute". Not really a bad description, since this song comes from Sonic the Hedgehog. I'm sure it's far better than the original, and even captures the mood of the original song. It's still very fun to listen to, however. Lots of variation on the drums are used to keep the piece moving. The arrangement is extra-ordinary. The samples are very good also. However, maybe next time some extra effects can be added to give that extra touch of realism. Great job!! 8.4/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamu-Sumo Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 It's good but it isn't a remix which you can hear a long time non-stop. 7/10 (1=worst; 10=best) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrOfUnD Darkness Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 I liked it, but something is missing. I dont know why, but all Sonic 3 remixes did miss something. Maybe the original music is not that good. PD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall the music in Sonic 3 is good..E.g(Knuckles theme, act 1 boss, ice cap, Marble garden,,, etc> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoomZero Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Great Job This is what I like to see Remixes that keep the rythem of the Music and that don't bend the clock speed to make it easy for them to remix. 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veets Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I definately prefer to see a remixer keep the original theme/feeling from the source music instead of throwing in a bass line and tweeters. Needs more work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KogeJoe Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Only POSSIBLE downer is that it's TOO close to the original. HOWEVER, I like this because the patches/percussion/samples are crisper and cleaner than the original. This is probably how the guys at SEGA wanted the track to sound, but couldn't do it because the Genesis sound hardware sucked ass. Still, for Sonic, they did better than most other games. Good work.

OceansAndrew Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Pretty generic electronic quasi-trance. Some of the pads are pretty lo-fi, causing this to be less effective due to it's simplicity. If the sounds themselves were richer I think it would have kept my attention better. There's some decent counterpoint going on, but it doesn't really add any color to the song, only texture. The beat is total autopilot, and the bass is wimpy. Sorry, I'm not really a fan of this one. The only thing keeping it going is the fact that it is Icecap.

Well, it's from 2002, so sometimes THAT'S ALL YOU NEED. I definitely enjoyed this one back in the day, with some clear source tune fan-bias. It's definitely a VERY straightforward arrangement, but it's pleasant. More repetitive than I remembered, and underdeveloped by today's standards, but it got the job done a decade back.
