ReMix:The Revenge of Shinobi "Memories of Blood & Bone" 3:33
By Fallen Seraph
Arranging the music of one song...
"China Town"
Primary Game: The Revenge of Shinobi (Sega , 1989, GEN), music by Yuzo KoshiroPosted 2013-02-14, evaluated by the judges panel
Roses, chocolates, cards, romance, and... shuriken? Nothing says "Valentine's Day" like a ninja star to the face from Joe Musashi, who makes his first appearance in 2013 with this chill urban groove from Fallen Seraph, a follow-up to the artist's 2011 debut Streets of Rage ReMix - seems like SOMEONE's a Yuzo Koshiro fan ;) Revenge of Shinobi is one of my favorite YK soundtracks and one of my favorite overall game soundtracks as well; I arranged this same source tune OVER A DECADE AGO, so I'm familiar with it, I like what Wina did with it, and I'm glad we've got another interpretation of it on the site. For his submission email, the artist appears to have composed a love poem - of sorts - so I guess this mix *is* actually relevant to today's holiday:
"Um, where are my memories, of this one gone?
Nothing comes to mind, but blood and bone...
Been shedding these tears eternally
Looking for Consent, I'm nothing more, than a Shinobi
Lost in Chinatown, wayward on the Corner of Sunset and Keys
Bad sushi within me, I can feel that factory funk...that produced these
Yeah...couldn't come up with anything to say...so...throw it up on some speakers, crank it up, and let the beat knock."
Eloquent wordsmithery; I added the links, FYI. This definitely has a grittier, hip-hop feel on the drums, which if you've played the game makes a lot of sense; nice layering and syncopation too, with parts that almost feel half-tempo. Interesting decision to take that main pentatonic riff that kinda defines the original tune and have a lone piano delicatelty articulate it @ 1'46" - counter-intuitive arrangement call, but I think it works. Fallen Seraph resubbed this with some tweaks to fill it out a bit more, and while judges still had some issues, OA sums things up well:
"I enjoyed the first one and voted yes, despite a few weaknesses, and I feel this shores up most of them pretty well, with filled out soundscapes and some more humanized sequencing. The bass and drums were good, and the beat was good. Definitely a step up, nice work!"
Great to see more Yuzo & more Shinobi and to hear more from Fallen Seraph, who's filled our V-Day with blood, bone & beats!

An interesting genre choice, but I don’t think this track was executed very well. The percussion work sounds all over the place. Sometimes it works, but then sometimes it will sound out of sync. I don’t know if that’s intentional or not, but it was a little distracting to me. I do agree with Crulex when he says some of the piano notes and drums sounded sharp. Hard to find any strengths in this remix, personally. Not the worst I heard, but it definitely could have been better.

From the source and title, I wasn't entirely ready for a chill hip-hop ReMix with piano, but this pretty nice. Some of the piano notes and a few other items like the later drums sounded a bit sharp or loud to me, but nothing that bugs me too much. Sweet stuff.

Love every mix from the RoS series, this one is no exception.
This is the first year I am not a forever alone ninja (although I guess last year counted too, except at the time it wasn't a certain thing).
Being a solo ninja is hard, working together with your ninja-mate harder still.
What a great mix, that it makes me reflect on (and try to appreciate) all these things.

I have to admit, the phasered supersaw kinda threw me off when the piano came in with it as well. It seemed louder than the piano.
Nice kick. Not much of a fan of the sub bass though. 1:13 felt oddly abrupt to me, because it sounded somewhat off rhythm.
Nice glitching at 2:01. Loved the retrigger and delay on the hi hat and kick.
2:48 - the drums seemed disconnected with the feel there. I would have made the drums softer there, but oh well. 3:17 felt a little bare without a cymbal, but it's OK.
Solid enough, agreed about borderline pass.
