OceansAndrew Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Classy stuff- I don't recognize the source at all, but I am loving what I am hearing. Some of the humanization is a little mechanical, but the flow and tone of the mix is wonderful. Awesome track, it makes me want to check out the source and see how far this arrangement took things.

OceansAndrew Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Turn in your gamer membership please. Sorry, my SMB3 days were filled with the game sound turned off and Iron Maiden cranked up. I'm doing all of these reviews as penance. :darkesword: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
analoq Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 If one listened to all my remixes they would notice this one standing out as a stylistic anomaly. There is a reason for this and it's not a reason I'm proud of. After my first submission to OCR was form-letter rejected, I felt as though I had something to prove. So I watched the Judges Decisions threads closely and observed the panel (in my opinion at the time) was easily swooned by orchestral arrangements... need I explain more? There are some clever things going on musically here, so I don't regard it as merely superficial pandering or an exercise in "beating the system". But I do hold contempt for the sort of vapid "Hollywood" orchestral sound that crops up in this mix, which is why I never revisited this style. Plus, I still haven't invested in decent orchestral samples cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liontamer Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I've confessed my sins, what is my penance? Sub another great mix. I'm sure you have some awesome arrangement ideas left in the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleJCrb Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Sub another great mix. I'm sure you have some awesome arrangement ideas left in the tank. Yes analoq, end this drought and remix something again (preferably with a track for this *winkwinknudgenudge*). It'll be a comeback of epic proportions.

Polo Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 By moving from majestic to tranquil and back again, the feel of aquacadence seems to conjure up imagery of a pirate ship setting sail, then underwater, then the ship again. 1:15 - 1:42 sounds like the sweetest lullaby a mother can sing to her child; it brings tears to my eyes. (The flute shares its love so beautifully with the bells.) 2:30 - 2:54 doesn't carry the same purity, playing in a slightly higher octave, although it doesn't sound out of place. Then when the drums thunder forth and crescendos hit anew, it's like dolphins have leapt out of the water, leading the ship to glory.

Crulex Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Cool! This is an interesting ReMix. I must admit that I was never high on the SMB3 underwater theme, but this grand take on it makes me rethink that. The bells section was great and I enjoyed the nice use of the instruments for this. Encore, analoq! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
