Joe Redifer Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 Super Star Soldier 'Hardcore Densehead' Kick ass! I loved the old days back when there were more good games than bad. You can't say that nowadays! Anyway djp's Super Star Soldier mix is jammin'. I imagine that if this was ever released for the CD-ROM attachment (it may have been, I dunno) that the music would be similar to this. Hell this is probably better because a lot of the PC Engine CD music had a knack for being too thin or "lite". The weird solo in the last third of the song is, well, weird! All in all I like it!

NSR::Neko Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 Shweet stuff from DJP. Not his best ever, but shweet. I don't like the little bit of off-beat synths in this one, though. All in all, good. Get it for a fun little listen. ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceansAndrew Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I've been a fan of this mix forever and i'm kindof sad that there arent more reviews for it. ENERGY- TO THE MAXIMUM! BEATS- ROUGH AND TOUGH! (with a little break in the middle for those of you who need a breather) SYNTHS- DELICIOUS! POTENTIALLY NUTRITIOUS! SOLO- PRETTY GOOD! JUST GLAD IT'S THERE! This is complete old school ass-kicking goodness, and all you star soldier wannabes need to download this onto your wii, crank this song, maybe do DJP's funky chicken dance (optional), and start blowing shit up.

DragonAvenger Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Too bad I have to listen to this quietly because there are people asleep in my house. Later today this will be BLASTED! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halc Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 enjoyable from beginning to end. i feel like some thick strings or pads throughout would have really filled out the sound. the last 80-100 seconds worth is rocking. didn't care too much for the fadeout but its not a big deal. nice solo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lint Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 A rocking classic djpretzel track that always has intensity permeating it. The short break just seems to threaten the return of the main beat with a vengeance. The solo synth at 2:00 is a great touch that always gets me. Definitely have to agree that this mix must be blasted. Its power is maximum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 The intro comes off strong, fast, and furious, and so is the rest of the song. The ending was kind of weird. One would think such an explosive song would go out with a bang instead of just fading out. Fast, peppy, interesting, changing. Not exactly one of my favorites, but it is a great mix worth checking out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmiduke Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 There's a hell of a lot crammed into this mix. And a prime example of how to deliver a repetitive source in an exciting way. And even though something like this wouldn't seem out of place in an actual game soundtrack from last-gen, it's a great standalone track because of its variation and energy. Synths are pleasant and safe, as per pretzel usual, and it has one of those amazing dithering solos that I adore. It's one of those awesome mixes which has no valleys; its all buildup and tearing downhill, which makes it a blast to listen to. Take note: this is how you DO it!

Bahamut Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 So from what I can tell, this song is kinda repetitive - nice ideas, just wish there was some more variation and expansion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polo Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Methinks the wacky intro is declaring: "I may be drunk, but I mean bizhnesshhh!" I mean, there's the swaying lead, the rapid-yet-slightly-behind-schedule drum loop (5-6 seconds in), and the provocative tone reminiscent of arcade games challenging the player to get a high score. As the effects of booze wane, the mix invites the listener to friendlier locales that come in bouncy, strategically clandestine, and free-for-all varieties (with one lapse into the initial dare-based attitude past the halfway point). It's also interesting how, although the mix doesn't end on a definitive beat (or even finish its final verse), it still loops cleanly. A boost to the source's potential punch and a boost to my adrenaline. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechaFone Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Old, old old. But to me this song stands the test of time, I enjoy it. It is repetitive, but in a good way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crulex Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Awesome. The ReMix comes in like an energetic force and keeps on going throughout the rest of the song. A little old-timey, but it sounds great and I can really see it being used in a game today. Sweet soloing also. Not the best, but it's held up fairly well.

Tables Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 This is a fun little burst of energy! The synth choices all collaborate well together to make a weird quirky moodspace that isn't annoying, and I'll agree with everyone that this is dense in a good way. It still feels a little 'old OCR' but in, like, a sophisticated way? I wish there was more of a blast in the ending but, hey, pretty good overall!
