Nemesis the Warlock [live at The Church]
|
|
On the last Sunday Service C64Glen requested Nemesis the Warlock. I never played it before but I knew the original track which is a great, great track. So I went for it...
Bare in mind, it's just me and some loopers and I have to built everything up from scratch so please be patient! I already did made some edits to keep the pace of the music, but still it's a bit of a journey. It's all improvised and 100% live, and mixed on the spot, so please don't be too harsh on the sound quality or on me when you hear a glitch here and there! 
Enjoy,
Cheers,
Reyn.

REVIEW BY ggeudraco (25/04/2008) The remix starts nice and quietly, building it's way up slowly - I find this is good to get comfortable with the track. However, at around 2:00, the inclusion other instrument feels a bit sudden, quick and overpowering the piano that started the whole thing off; only recovering with the harpsichord at 2:55.This soothing calm is rocked again by the use of the SID sample at 4:30. While this may be considerate towards the nostalgia of the track, I think it would have been better used on a remix using synth. As the track reaches its end, the fading of each instrument goes smoothly and ends nicely with the piano solo that started the whole thing off (with appropriate Sunday Service bells). For those who would start listening to C64 remixes, this may seem quite overdone and easy to criticise. But it must be noted that this was performed live on SLAY Radio, which shows Reyn's skills with multiple instruments and quick improvisation, and that is what rates this track highly. To respond to Reyn's blurb for this remix, I notice no significant glitches in the performance nor any issues with sound quality that can be heard over desk speakers. Because of these considerations, this is a good early candidate for ROTY. |

Mayhem shouts: I wasn't quite feeling it in the beginning, but as it started to build, it definitely became another Reyn masterpiece! scyphe shouts: Blissful, sweet and slightly melancholic. Another Reyn masterpiece. dafunk shouts: Beautiful chords, and when it builds up, goosebumps all over the place...:) germantaz shouts: Unbelievable... So nice and smooth... Stays in my ears for hours ;o) jl74 shouts: I HAD to choose very good coz he plays amazingly, but the tune in overall was average to my taste. The Green Beret Church-version is WAY better, this sounded more like an old Bill Conti First Blood soundtrack, and sometimes too much happened at once... CopperCAT shouts: So Awesome. It builds up so gentle :)
kjetiln shouts: The beginning with the piano is awesome and even better when the first instruments come in. A red one. But then there come other instruments which ruins the whole thing for me and it gets only worse the more you try to put in there. MORBID shouts: Red one for this outstanding remix! Brosa shouts: BROSA seal of approval! LaLa shouts: As Borat would say it: "Awful piano skills, terrible arrangement, uninspiring and emotionless, poor instrumentation, simply ugly. NOT! " It almost made me cry when I heard it live on the show, it's even more moving here... mixer shouts: Shows what a really awesome musician Reyn really is. I am totally out of words. Best sid tune of all times. This is so massively beautiful. omoroca shouts: AWESOME! I love those flutes. Feels like Mike Oldfield in his best times. Goose bumps all over! Added to my collection. prowler shouts: I just love the way the music-scape builds up with this looper-based way of playing an arrangement live! Beautiful piano! But only an orange smile since I never liked the tune and some of the instruments felt awkwardly out of place... infamous shouts: Oooo p2 shouts: Another f*cking great tune from da Reyn! This is the church I worship!! ;) - Laters, p2 / HeatWave - Danceaway shouts: LOL... Its just amazing that he does this live all in one go.... Top stuff as usual Reyn.... c64glen shouts: Beautiful (also my request!) XxDUSTYxX shouts: Brilliant job! My deep respect for publishing such a nice live-track here! I'm looking forward to hear more of your stuff!;) Big Dawg shouts: Cracking stuff!!! chilli_uk shouts: One day, just one day, I would love to say total shit - but this day I have to say total awesome shit - and amazing - not a great tune to cover as its so dark - but awesome work - totally awesome shit! mace shouts: Speechles Ic3m4n shouts: Red one!! » Just to see 9 little tomato-faces in a row ;P » Just kiddin´... Awesome track... Nothing to crit for me... Wait! .. There is one thing that bothers me: the track is not mine ;) cinemaniac shouts: One of the all-time-great C64-tracks gets one of the best treatments I've heard yet. Fantastic! LMan shouts: Reyn breathes music. He is *the* talent of the scene. _steve_ shouts: Awesome! dumper shouts: Absolutely stunning, Reyn could fart out a symphony.:) Agemixer shouts: My humble individual vote for the year :) condor shouts: This is outstanding piece of work. iolo shouts: Nice job, but like someone said, it sounds a little bit too Bill Contiish, especially at the beginning.
