All hail Scott Peeples! The man is in the ZONE again with this kickin' ReMix of the Gerudo Valley theme from Miyamoto's legendary epic, Zelda64. A nice synth-guitar hybrid sound playing the main melody, which consists of ascending and descending chords mostly, nevertheless is quite epic, quite moving, and quite well done. Scott gives it a great beat, starting off with a pulsing acoustic-bass type thingy and moving on from there. The piece really develops nicely, has beautiful mixing & processing, and just sounds so clean you could eat off it . . . chalk another great one up to Peeples :)

Ok, I know this has been commented on a lot, but it that bass needs addressing. I mean, the bass isn't even out of tune, it plays clashing notes that are in tune, and they clash horribly! 8-O

Ok, so the 1st chord of the sequence is a F sharp minor. The bass plays a G over that which clashes.
The second chord is fine, in key perfectly.
The third chord is E major. The bass plays a C sharp over that. :?
The forth chord of the sequence is C sharp major and the bass plays the root note C sharp, which makes the third chord sound even weirder as the bass note of the third and forth chords are the same :?

This repeats over the melody and ruins the mix for me.

Sorry, but do not like this remix currently, however, if peeples resubs with bass fixes the mix would be awesome.

fyi for those of you who have no clue what's being said about the off-key situation, the first note of the repeating bassline is about a half step higher than it should be, resulting in the melodic and harmonic guitar to sound off pitch and very painful to the trained ear... .

i've been a musician for damn near 10 years and i cant listen to this piece in a sane manner due to that...

if you dont have a real ear for music you may not pick up on it, it's very slight... but it stands out to me. t

his is a great piece, very nicely produced with a great feel. i like the guitar riff and the way the bass pulses makes for a really cool undertone.

i just wanna tune the bass a halfstep lower so it matches the overlaying guitar. because it IS offkey. end of story.

please fix that tiny thing peeples. it'd make the piece bareable for me. because i really wanna add this to my collection. i just... i just cant... lol

whoever thinks that bassline is off is retarded.
end of discussion, the bassline makes this mix magic.
like how the fuck is a peice of music that comes from gerudo valley supposed to play by the rules of western music?
makes some fucking sense for once your lives. >_>

The beat that's dropped on top of the traditional Gerudo theme is nice and sweet, even if the melody gets rather repetitive. You haven't really done anything original with this piece, Mr. Peeples—no creative license, not beyond instrument choice, anyhow—and the synth that used later on for the melody is a bit low-quality. Not bad, but just not great, either.
My rating: 3/5

I liked this one. The bass didn't detract very much. I'm always listening to music while on the computer, while putting the song on repeat. I've listened to it 25 times in 3 days. I forgot to change the song. :grin:

I really like this song. I was listening to it well before i became a member. I was really excited when i heard it because it brought back so many great memories of the game. Also this remix is my favorite mix of the gerudo valley theme that i have yet to find on the internet. Great job!

This song sounds like a song that would come from the country Greece. lol. I love all Gerudo Valley Remixes, but by far, I like this one the best. I love the guitar in this Remix and percussion also. Must downlaod.

i like this song a lot. i think that the string chords in the background really enhance the overall sound. The bass sounds great when it enters, but when the guitar chords and strumming enter after it, the notes sound really atonal. This was one of the first remixes i listened to when i joined, and i dont really know why, but those bass notes bother me a lot. Once they are out of the picture for a while (0:48) I really take an intense liking to the mix. It's very clean and pronounced.

The Gerudo song from OoT has been my favorite Zelda song for a while, and this mix definitely does it justice in my ears. It gives me that same feeling that the original did, images and urges of thievery (that didn't sound good ~ nevermind I said that). It does sound much like the original, but that's the beauty of it. It's also great fighting music, like some great ninja or shinobi battle or something. Great job Mr. Peeples. 10/10
Also, being the music enthusiast that I am, as I listen to a song, I don't focus on one thing within the song, I listen to everything.... the bass is fine, though I've not heard it with a subwoofer or anything like that, I can tell that that would be everyone's problem. Amplifying the bass doesn't help every song, though it does help most.

i love this tune! it kicks the biggest BEEP out of most the other songs (i dun even know if that makes sense). but, people do have a bit of a point to the base. couldve just been a mistake. probably fogot to tune it before recording. but this is still one of the best songs ever made. :D

- ZeldaMan101 on September 22, 2005

Who ever keeps complainiong about the bass it is fine. Please don't mess with it... unless it was bad and you fixed it, in which case good job.
Bottom line is I love it the way it is and I don't want it to change!

That's it; I'm solving the mystery of the Bad Bass once and for all (exclamation points signify "bad" notes):

chthonic wrote: :!: The first note the bass plays is an [b]F#[/b]. The chord is [b]F# minor[/b]. Therefore, the bass is playing the [b]root[/b]. However, it's [i]ridiculously[/i] sharp. The sample is out of tune on this note, and this is what creates the dissonance.
The second note is a [b]D[/b]. The chord is [b]D major[/b]. Therefore, the bass is playing the [b]root[/b] (again). The note is in tune this time, and it sounds fine, as it should.
:!: The third note is a [b]C[/b]. The chord is [b]E major[/b]. Therefore, the bass is playing the [b]6th[/b] scale degree. This is an extremely unusual chord tone for bass instruments. It's possibly intentional, but it's definitely a source of the "dissonance" that everyone is hearing.
The fourth note is also a [b]C[/b]. The chord is [b]C major[/b]. Therefore, the bass is playing the [b]root[/b]. It sounds fine.

So, to recap: The culprits are 1. an extremely out of tune first note, and 2. a questionable choice on the third note.
That is all.

Yeah ! Very nice sound... but the bass sounds dissonant on some chords, I don't like that :roll:
Anyway, it's some good job, really great 8)

- Phényx on August 14, 2005

With a stretch of the imagination, I can listen to this song and hear the bass play in tune. And it sounds good.

- Ichitootah on August 2, 2005

I'm pretty sure the bass just plays a different chord tone than the root on the 3rd and 4th notes, and the reason it sounds bad is because the sample is out of tune. But it was [i]meant [/i]to sound right, and this track's still a classic in my book.
