Story
This Remix was in work already a long time, in the very start sounding pretty much like the original theme. havent been able to work with that, so i totally rolled over, just kept the acid-style melobass and made it some more…errrm… different.

in the end the track stood there a few months, and was about to turn out unfinished again. so i decided to end and submit it before it lands in the directory for unfinished crap -.-

i like this remix, unfortunately its not EXACTLY how i wanted it to be.

under the carpet: about 3 minutes more of mostly experimental patterns.

the remix is featuring one single drumloop, countless mini-effects, a nostalgica-part with a very root drum-going (that one with the lvl 1-theme), and my common platinum-fish-cutoff-melo-bass

not to mention way too many hours sitting before it , adjusting stuff with in some cases should have stayed as i set em up in the start 0.o

have fun

I like the idea and that dirty old drum loop. I just wish there was more stuff from the original tunes in there.

Overall rating

This is my first review here. Dunno why but by hearing this piece of music I got animated to do it.
It seems to me that Zzr put a LOT of work into this tune. There are quite a lot of variations and diffrent parts. This leads to what I like:

I like:
-There's quite a lot of variety, the tune stays interesting
-also an interesting remix style, quite unusual
-I like the chosen sounds and instruments, they fit to each other
-The two covered songs are well combined into this remix

I don't like:
-the interpretation of the melody from 0:31 to 0:51 is not my cup of tea, it's a little too weird for me, would have been better to have it done like the part starting at 1:23
- the part from 3:40 to 5:10 is the weakest part of the remix. It's too long. Although there are variations of the beat within, the rythm melody stays almost the same for over a minute.

Technical impression: The diffrent parts are combined very well. Breaks fit where they are. When it comes to mixing I'm no expert. But for me it sounds well and very dynamic.

Artistic impression: Zzr knows his buisness. Well chosen sounds and much variety. Normally I don't like break beats, but for this tune I do.
A slight minus for the part from 3:40 to 5:10.

Nostalgic impression: Hmm, thats difficult. The themes from the covered tunes are recognizeable. But this remix doesn't stay true much to the originals. Therefore the nostalgic value is quite low.
But good new ideas are not a bad thing for sure. So the nostalgic impression is not very important in this case.

Overall I think this is a good, well done remix although a bit unusual
but that makes it interesting. I like to listen to it, and thats the main point to me. It's worth listening. Give it a try.
Just download it and judge yourself.
