Another one where the youtube link is broken.

That's a YouTube-side issue where embedded videos sometimes don't load properly. You should be able to refresh the page and the video should load.

My biggest issue with this one has always been the complete lack of an ending. It just sort of stops.
There's something about the sound samples in here. I don't know what it is, but they're immediately recognizable. I feel like I've heard those same samples many times in the past. On old VGmix mixes maybe? VGMix is long gone and the vgmix archive is woefully incomplete and has been abandoned for over a decade now, hard to go back and compare. I assume that whatever software this was written on back in 1999 was very common, maybe a free program. Or maybe the sample library was free. I have no idea.

The style absolutely fits Space Harrier and makes me smile at the happy vibes, so it hits what it's supposed to.

I wish I felt more of the disco in this song! So the whichachaka thing is classic, and when the bassline shines through it's SO good. And yeah the arrangement is good overall, a good extrapolation of the original and doesn't get old.

But then you have the main source melody on some odd little sine synths that could probably be beefier, and the drums, I dunno maybe it's a filter of some kind, they seem to be in the wrong place. Yeah, like someone said I think primarily the samples just need updating.

(.... also the song needed an ending!)

Ah, more DjP. That's... a really weird looking game. I can't let the one eye'd elephant distract me, though.

I'm liking the instruments and style of this one. It really catches the happy mood perfectly. The phasing, the funk bass, the disco vibe, it all works well for the track.

The soundscape is a bit lacking, overall. I'm wishing that there was more bass and lower mids - right now it sounds like there's no bottom of the track.

Those squares used for the harmonies... they're awesome. I don't know why they warrant a special mention, but they are indeed awesome. I'm just sayin'.

The playful mood is infectious. A song that makes me happy listening to it is indeed a song worth listening to. This gets seven one eye'd elephants out of ten.

Wow, this is ridiculously catchy! Nice synth work and that soloing was top-notch! It shows its age a bit, and the middle is a bit off-par with the rest of the song, but it's still a great ReMix. Groovy!

Well this is what it says on the tin. Sort of new wave electro disco. The bassline is typical of the style Again lacking in the mid range which causes an empty soundscape. That said, the source is classic (Come on guys we need MOAR space harrier theme remixes )

This is probably my fav mix of the first wave of djp mixes before other people came along to share the spotlight.

As a solo fiend myself, I approve of the synth solo. Great stuff, a keeper for me.

The high and low frequencies feel pretty empty, which is unfortunate because the synths could definitely benefit from a bit of a boost.

The soloing at the end was badass! For such an early remix, this is pretty good, actually!

So I guess I have similar comments as to what I mentioned for the Rolling Thunder mix, but samples could use some upgrading, and here I *think* it's the midrange that's kinda lacking? Arrangement is interesting though. I probably would've found a bunch of enjoyment if I heard it back then.

This one sounds like it's crunched to the middle. It sounds practically mono, and frequency-wise it also seems sort of muffled.. But happily, it has a lot of groove and a good solo towards the end. The soloing was nice to hear after listening to a couple of more conservative takes on this theme.

Groovy, Catchy, Funky, Nice, D. All of the above.

I especially like the intro.

It's fun, interesting, and one of those songs you'd think you'd get stuck in your head but don't.

A very nice track.

^lol

this IS some old djp tunage. I recognize the hell out of this but I have never played space harrier.

seriously hearing sonic from 0:40-1:07 for some reason? I don't know

oh yeah that solo at 2:15 is rocking my world

good stuff

^Awful joke, really.

Don't know the source, so this is just coming at me disco-style. Whether or not that's a good thing, I'm not sure

Catchy tune, something to tap your foot too. Nothing really sticks out as being awesome, but for the age of this, I would have digged it when it originally came out.

remix number 9? More like OLDverclocked remix. ;-D ;-D

Actually for being of such a vintage, this remix has some sweet stuff going for it. The solos are very very good, and the space harrier theme itself is great. I wouldn't really classify this as anything even close to disco, but the synth sounds do have a nice 70's retro feel to them.

Pretty nice stuff.

Out of all the Space Harrier mixes I couldn't really find one that stuck out but I'ld have to say DJP's is the best one. Space Harrier has one of the best theme's, it's a shame the remixes aren't good.

It's great when djp layers the synths in this song and there are some great solos. One cool parts at 1:23 and then there's that crazy solo somewhere near the middle. My favourite part is near the end at 3:10 where that new synth is added

Overall this isn't a bad song. I'm still looking for that extremely kick ass Space Harrier mix

nice.
