Tex Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 At first, I wasn't really enjoying it, but after some few more listens I found it to be quite playable. Good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aninymouse Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 "Mainly look at breats." Halleluja, Duckman. F*ckin' kickass cuts in this thing, Skrypnyk. Welcome to OCR, dude. Loved your tracks with OverCoat on Garden Art, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeroZ Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 The lead instrument is just perfect. Goes right through the spine. Melody that begins at 1.22. So damn good. This is a lovely track when you work at a industry. Thanks for making it. Awesome track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PassivePretentiousness Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I always liked this one but kinda felt uncomfortable with how structurally similar this is to Building up Steam with a Grain of Salt. -Opens with irrelevant quote -Music starts (piano for dj shadow, synths/rhodes/whatever for skrypnyk) -turntable crap, then over the music a self-referential quote is played -slowly building drumloops with methodical melody, interspersed with neato drumwork and more random samples. If anything it is a stylistic simplification because it doesn't begin introducing more sonic textures like dj shadow does. I'm not claiming this is anything resembling plagiarism, but you could walk up to a random skilled electronic musician in the street, ask him to create a stylistically and structurally identical song to Building up Steam with a Grain of Salt, then replace the primary melody with sad song, you'd get this. If this was a generic rock or trance tune, this wouldn't really mean much, but the style and structure of this really define the song.

BlackPhantom Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 LOL, awesome! A clip from Bubsy shows up in this! Nice remix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybell Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Can't believe I haven't commented on this yet. It's one of my favorite mixes on the site I'm pretty sure, and it also prompted me to listen to Endtroducing, which is a good thing. Skrypnyk, you are becoming one of my favorite remixers on the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_Yoshi Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 This is such a nice piece! I can't believe I haven't commented on it before. Everything here just clicks dude, good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MstrSwrd Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 It's been awhile since I listened to anything OC-remix, and this was the first thing I ended up listening too. So freakin' sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polo Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 The 10 notes at 0:13-0:17 and elsewhere remind me of the first level of Nitemare 3D; hearing that in a mix with an eerie sadness to it just kinda fits. Rapid swivels and scratches love to flip, twist, and undress the percussion in every direction without disturbing the creamy Rhodes lead. At 1:50+, the bells feel like they're trying to compete for attention in the full sound field; however, at 2:14, they foster a clear, pure segue into the next section. And what a ghostly midriff with the square wave-like bass and static playing over the barely audible voice. Needless to say, the many voice clips a-a-a-a-a-and chopping up of (3:05 lol) are a guilty pleasure. Closing out the mix with a lullaby-like iteration is the icing on the cake made entirely of frosting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halc Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I don't know what all the random monologues and television samples have to do with the source tune, but they're used tastefully and effectively. Fantastic drum programming. Very moody arrangement; especially enjoyable on a rainy day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necrox Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Nice mix, I like how the melody fits with the (well-sequenced) percussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crulex Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 It's an odd piece to me, but certainly not a bad one. The drum beat and scratches working alongside the piano sounded good and the samples were done in a way that they seemed to aid the ReMix, rather than just appear and possibly hinder it, which is definitely a plus. Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Doom Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Well, maybe this track isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I enjoyed it for sure. The glitched heavy percussion blended with some cool scratches, voice samples and original cool melody certainly make this a weird yet good song. Nice job!

fxsnowy Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Those glitched drums are delicious. Wish there was more of this style on ocremix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
