MrKoopa Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 Hey, decided to finally register so I could comment on the cool songs around here. I just wanted to point something out, since I'm not sure if everyone noticed it, but the part of this piece played in the intro (and the part it goes back to around 3'24") is actually another song that's also from Tetris (I always remember it as the Title Screen music in the Game Boy version, not sure if any other versions of the game had that part) and is probably also a Russian folk piece or something I just thought it was really cool that he included that into the mix. Great remix! Quote
Nixs Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 this is such a good piece (1:52 ) i like that bit. This brought back those memories of playing for 2 hours and then finally beating level 9 high 5... nostalgia so good *weeps* Quote
bouncerboy15 Posted December 27, 2003 Posted December 27, 2003 Great mix. Good beats that are great to hum along. This piece brings me back some good memories playing this game on my Gameboy and NES. And there is some nice Russian theme to this mix. Recommend. Quote
The Womb Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 I like it alot The start definetly feels barouqueish escpecially with the harpiscord Quote
RimFrost the Tourianist Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 this one really has great style ..a classic Quote
FinalGamer Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 I can't believe such a brilliant piece of music could be made from all the musical piece of Tetris. It truly is a gift from Russia, with its baroque tunes and folk-style backgrounds. Superb! Quote
Jabberbox Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 A m/-\d k0mp0z3r is j00. for those who need a translation: McVaffe, you are a very skilled composer, and contribute much to the video game remixing community. Quote
TheDro Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 I just had to get up and dance while snapping my fingers:P transition 0:56 is so cool Quote
Nah! Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 Da! Da! I could really see and smell a russian wedding when listening to this brilliant remix! Bet a russian senior would dig this *hepp hepp hepp* Quote
Frictional Antidote Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 Thank you for the transition at 3:30. It keeps the track alive. The instrumentation choice on this song is wonderful. Sorry if I am not giving props where they are due, but if you are the first to use the harpsichord, very original choice. Perhaps a few more bpm faster would have given the song a bit more umph. Anyway, wow, awesome, very simplistic remix. Thank you McVaffe. Quote
Liontamer Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 Cool stuff, but I've always wonder what, if anything, if being arranged from 3:23 until the end. Didn't hear it anywhere in the GBS or NSF sets. Pretty seamless original writing if that's in fact what it was, but I wish Mike or someone else could give more information. Quote
Harmony Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 It's Halloween!! Candy, ghouls, and goblins aside, today I celebrate the 5th anniversary of the posting of my favorite harpsichord-centered remix! Love it Mike! 3:23-end sounds very familiar to me. Can't place it right now, but if it's not from Tetris, I'd be willing to bet it's VG related in one way or another. Quote
Teh Mick Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 This remix is one of the best I heard in some time. I'm a fan on baroque music and the harpsicord Quote
42 Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 I really love how this is broken into about three/four sections and how it progresses through each. It's as if someone's starting a game of Tetris and listens to the title theme. Then at 0:55 they actually begin a round. At 1:52 (where the mix really begins), reality fractures and the player is at some obscure, romantisiced Eastern European village at festival time. Then at 3:54, its time to go home. Great mix and worth listening to. Quote
smeggy Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 This is so good I hunted through the internet to find where this came from, and here it is! Massive kudos to McVaffe. My only feedback is that the piano part between 1:33 to 1:51, whilst tuney, is soft compared to the rest of the piece and seems quite out of place. I would pay to have that adjusted - no kidding. Are you still around McVaffe? The harpsichord is such a nice touch! All of a sudden I have a hunger for Polka Edit: I've just cross/fade edited it out, now I'm happy Quote
metalsnakejuice Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 Awsome mix and definaly worth listening too. Quote
OceansAndrew Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Pretty decent, but I think that it would have been more solid without the modal shift that Korobeiniki included. The transitions were a little weak, and the arrangement wasn't groundbreaking, but it was definitely pleasant. Quote
Crulex Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 I always forget that Tetris had title screen music, but it's more pleasant here than it was in the older games in my opinion. I really like the classical feel of the harpsichord slowly bleeding into the more upbeat Korobeiniki and dancing around it from time to time. Lots of nice arrangement touches here. I enjoyed this.
