ReMix:Sonic Adventure "Taikal Drum 'n' Ragga" 4:07

A fun, chill mix from start to finish! I enjoyed the intro percussion and the overall vibe. Ditto DarkeSword’s take on the filtered backbeat.

Not my favorite MkVaff remix, but still has a nice groove I can bop to. Very smooth.

Wow, surprised I hadn't reviewed this at all when this is one of my favorite old school OCR tracks. Great example of personalizing a theme while remaining melodically conservative. Love the percussion and love the tropical vibe. :-)

Very chill vibe, more an enhancement of the original that has aged gracefully. I think I hear the odd Super Mario World-esque sounds in there somewhere.

It's 2024 and the textures in this piece still hold up today!

Great use of panning on the percussive elements, as well as the flanging and filter sweeps. Melodically conservative but with a lot of personality in the programming and production.

Classic MkVaff is super chill, I love it! I think I like it even more than the original, despite it being a pretty faithful cover.

An old school track in texture for sure. Synthy sitar noodles a bit but that filtered breakbeat is killer. Really liked the groove here. CLASSIC!!

I really enjoyed the piano work in this piece along with some of the panning. The EQ, mastering, and overall arrangement is on point - which is par for the course with MkVaff. Thank you and great work!

Some more classic hi-fi McVaffe. Much more minimalistic than his '3rd Strike' mix, but it sounds like this was made long before that (see djp's write-up). Regardless, this is still quite an accomplishment. As with most McV mixes, the beauty is in the subtleties. The mix comes off simple, but there is a ton going on. Whether it be the various articulations or the DSP scattered throughout.

Great pads and percussion on this, even the simple progression and beats at the beginning is interesting. The modulating synth gives it some teture, and the piano + dulicmer sound great.

When the flanged beats come in, I feel the high end is a little too sharp, and it gets distracting.

This is a very nice and chill kind of groove, with a lot of underlying motion. It doesn't completely blow me away, but as long as the flanged beat isn't around, it's great background music.

Hell, even if you haven't played Sonic Adventure.

Roger that one, and I'm glad that I did.

To start out with, I'm really digging this tune, McVaffe always seem to make great remixes when it comes to instrumental and foreign genres. Those drums in the beginning made me think of Africa, but it changed quickly into something more ancient sounding, I dunno bout the country but that harp synth sure sounds fiiiine.

However, it doesn't make you wanna go wild, neither it's not very suiting as background music, or at least to me. This fits better for when i'm relaxing, turns on my mp3 and just chills to whatever track that comes out. When it comes to this song, it feels like you only can enjoy it to the fullest if you take some time and really listens to it, to all the instruments and samples that it contains. That way, you can understand how much work this piece needed to become complete.

Or something like that, you have to decide on your own. At least I know what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna download this.

I love Tikal's theme in Sonic Adventure and I love this remix of Tikal's theme. Very good work. Anyone who has played Sonic Adventure should download this. Hell, even if you haven't played Sonic Adventure.

Definitely. I think this song is either one of or the best song in all of the Sonic Adventure BGM's.

It seems to have the best groove, most effrot put into it, and not all junky-sounding.

i've had this lying around on my harddrive for a long while, and i finally got around to playing it this morning..wow, it's too great!

will definitely also go in my "favorite songs of all time" folder

very very good.. I loved it in Sonic Adventure.. and now you've mixed it with my favorite two genres: Ambience and Drum and Bass/Jungle. It's a complete winning combination I will file this under "my favorite songs of all time" folder... I really liked it that much, yes.

A great ambient track. This is the kind of music I could relax to. It really has an eastern flare to it and takes MCV's stuff into a different direction. It's not my favorite peice per se. It's good but it just lacks that memorable feel to it. As you would expect from MCV's ambient tracks this one is really layered. Theres alot going on in this mix. Overall its a good enjoyable peice.
