There's quite a bit of controversy over the Hidden Palace zone, which was apparently supposed to have been in Sonic 2, is available secretly, is in the crackers beta, etc. There's actually more conspiracy theories regarding Sonic games than JFK's assassination, if you look hard enough. Leebro sent in this S&K Hidden Palace ReMix a while back and has since created a totally different version, but I like his first stab at the track better. Nice loop, not too fast or slow, a thick picked bass, quality pads and piano - it's all there. I especially like the reverse snare every once in a while on the drums and the atmospheric effects (chimes, etc.), as well as the delay on the piano done via MIDI (i.e. actual notes) as opposed to DSP. Solid and enjoyable.
Discussion: Latest 14 comments/reviews; view the Though melodically, nothing really rises above the "aite" level, the production balances are good, and the leads are switched out often enough to keep things from getting stale. Rhythmically, it's pretty same-y until a breakdown about 2/5ths through, then back to the beat. This is rally good background music, but doesn't really engage me in an actively listening sortof way. I think there is just a bit too much repetition with the piano rhythm and the loop, and the piano is pretty mechanical.
Nice but not awesome.

But it's fine alone, too.

The piano and chord progression sounds like it could have been a good segway into Donkey Kong Country's Hot Head Hop.
Other than that, great stuff.

I think this remix is just perfect. When you consider that most of all the remixes here include some sort of "zomgCLIMAX" at the end of the song, or thereabouts, you begin to tire of the same ol', same ol'. Just once in a while something like this remix refreshes your mind, body and soul with some very simple, if not damn sweet, tunes.
I like this remix. I like it alot, which is interesting to note since I am very fickle with what I like.

Now it's the 12th May 2006, I think we'll never gonna know how it turned out. :lol:
Onwards to the remix, it was surprisingly good. The small bell pads that was used worked well together with the synth piano and groovy beats. A very smooth arrangement, there are some instruments that annoyed me at first with their SNES quality, but along with everything else, it sounds swell.
Nice.

I needed, in a dance class (that I didn't like), to make a dance that goes to any piece of music of my choseing. I looked though my HD and this was the only piece with extablished and looping beats throughout the entire song. So, I used, or am using it. Today is the 2nd of June, I'll let you know how it turns out.

Not much of an accomplishment (not leebro's fault, but mine), but an accomplishment nonetheless

Go. Download. Now.

Yummy, this is what I’m talking about. Nice and soft, easy to listen to, but just enough spunk to keep the excitement alive. I love these drums and the Oboe is a nice touch. Nice work leebro.
