ReMix:Pokémon Red Version "Spume" 4:43
By Rozovian
Arranging the music of one song...
"Sea"
Primary Game: Pokémon Red Version (Nintendo , 1996, GB), music by Junichi MasudaPosted 2012-02-24, evaluated by the judges panel
Clearly Rozo revised this Pokémon mix off Missingno quite a few times:
"'Spume' is probably finished now. Everyone on the Pokémon project says it was finished like years ago. :D When I started this remix, it was supposed to be an atmospheric track, in contrast with the source. Then it wanted to have a beat. And the beat didn't sound good. So it was revised once or twice, and then declared finished. And then revised further. Eventually, it was good enough, and was declared finished. A later revision further improved it. And then it was finished... for a while."
Some tracks feel done almost immediately, others you just keep going back to and tweaking ad infinitum... Gotta stop somewhere, though! This is an odd, upbeat little track that blends a happy-go-lucky melody with some distinct chromatic percussion, sonar pings, and a more ambient intro. It's an interesting juxtaposition, almost as if someone took a sample library intended for film/scoring purposes and built a whole synth-pop track around it. Or also like if a wild pokemanz suddenly popped up in the middle of U-571 or Das Boot and started dancing around. The beginning has a deliberate, exploratory vibe, and I really love the build that starts bubbling up at 1'26" and then transitions into full gear at 1'37" - good stuff. Judges were split on this mix, mostly because some felt there was too jarring a stylistic contrast between the intro and the rest of the arrangement. Palpable writes:
"Like Jesse, I found myself liking the introduction most in this song, because of how off-kilter and minimal it was. I won't say the source was super obvious there, but I was hearing it in the places Larry mentioned, plus those liberal areas, some of which used the original's chords. Actually I felt a little disappointed when the song switched into happy bubbly mode, but that's more a subjective preference - it was fine as far as songs go, there was enough to sustain my interest."
I like that Rozo did something new, and I do like hearing disparate instrumentation & styles combined, but I could also see it not being everyone's cup of tea - you actually have to kinda get your head around it and rid yourself of certain expectations to fully enjoy the arrangement. It's a novel, unexpected take on such a sugary source, so if you're looking for something a little different, definitely check it out!

I just love how this took 7 months of judging, and Larry was
hilarious with his honesty.

Freaking love the sonar opening! Can't believe I didn't review this when it came out, but this is a fantastic take on the Sea theme. When it picks up after 1:35, I just get the urge to move around a bit. Wonderful beat with those ambient pops and that sonar going off a few times. This ReMix is happy, and it makes me feel happy. So good!

Wow, this one's quite a bubbly gummy trip.
Those notes during the intro have an intriguing dissonance, but
that's because to me it all sounds right somehow. Just what
bubble did you swallow to make this, uh?! I love this a
continent!

This is an odd track to me to be honest. I always felt like I was traversing the ocean on a lighthearted submarine trek, partly due to that sonar-like sound. I'm not sure how much I like the full on happy mode after that introduction, but the song does have a flow to it that feels generally natural and cohesive.
Peculiar track by Ad, but it does intrigue in a way.

Hey Rozo, this is the last version, right?Right? Rozo?
...
He must be working on the remix a bit more. Oh well.
I still love the use of the sonar effect throughout the remix. It fits so perfectly.
I still feel a bit bad that I asked him to redo little things over and over... "Hey, the sonar is a bit loud," "I think the bass is too low," "Could you make it a bit longer?", etc.
That had to have pissed him off at least once.
But what came out of it was one of my favorite Rozo songs!
