Fist II Legend Continues (Unzy Remix)

Hi all!

 

I'll tell you why I chose this style for the remix.

Some years ago I had this melody in my head, but I didn't know where it came from. I started playing it on my keyboard, and as usual when I play stuff on my keyboard, I set the techno rythm on :-) So for several years I've been playing it on my keyboard in a similar style to this. I always knew it was a c64 tune, though haven't played Fist II, and only heard it once before, it was impossible for me to figure out which game it was. Of course, I could just ask... but then I heard the Band in the rain version.. and suddenly I knew what I was playing. Of course I was a little shocked the original tune is so slooow and oriental..

But nevertheless, I thought it suited the style I'd chosen for it, so I tried to remix it in FL Studio. I think this might be my 10th try..

 

I want to thank all of you all for your great comments! I really appreciate it!

Waz shouts: This unzy style just doesn't cut it for me with this tune. The whole feel of the original is completely lost and it doesn't feel emotional and Oriental.
Skitz shouts: I just don't think you can do a Trance version of FIST II without it sounding wrong.
Ziphoid shouts: Not bad in the overall department, but the original track not really suited for this kind of version, imho. Brave attempt, although a bit misplaced.
LaLa shouts: That's a surprising choice for style; lots of kudos for trying something completely radical with this tune! Technically, it sounds a bit lackluster, but the idea is definitely there. Puts Fist II in a brand new light.
eliot shouts: *lol* - yeah, that's at least fun to listen - for me at least.
dj.mitch shouts: Great opening - nice (synthie)panflute - great baseline - simply a outstanding remake - The OrchHit needs more rev and there could be a better high frequence mixing but I love this remix!
infamous shouts: 1st time ive actually enjoyed the sid, as I despised the original with a vengeance so well done for making it palatable for me hehe, nice bit of danceyness
chilli_uk shouts: Karate with unzzz - but does it work - just - I like it - not a world beater but a brave and good effort
klosterkatten shouts: I thought to myself "Hey this tune is pretty unzy". Then I saw the title (unzy remix), so I guess you did what you aimed for. Well done.
omoroca shouts: Feel-good music! Fresh! Fun! Retro! Non-repetitive! I like the bass sound, the slow flute part at 2:22 and the 3/4 part at 2:51.
prowler shouts: Fun stuff, but in my ears the song don't really match that rave style
kai shouts: First time listening sounded a bit monotonous and as said before, losing the original mood - but then it took off, lifting me up with its happy clappy cheery unzy... *starts dancing* yay!!!! :-D
k_rostoen shouts: Never been to fond of these oriental SIDs, but this version was pretty neat. I just think it sounds a bit "dry".
dimmignatt shouts: Fun to see a new take on this one but since the original was and still is one of my fav tunes/game I can't really appreciate this. Still fun with new stuff =) though the 3/4 part sounds SHITE!!
_steve_ shouts: The final part spoils it a little for me, and it suffers from repetition. Otherwise its a fine effort.
Petto shouts: Simply brilliant, Kjetil!
luegisdorf shouts: I just like it
texel shouts: Great music, can't stop listening to it...
condor shouts: + for idea, but remix is just good. Would love to hear this rearranged in future years :)
