Interesting. This is a ReMix where, if you just listened to the first thirty seconds, you wouldn't think much at all . . . not the strongest of intros from newcomer DJ Leifo in this Mario Paint mix, but I'm happy to announce that things get progressively better . . . albeit they also get wierder as well. With a house beat and absolutely lovely organic percussion that sits underneath the normal hi-hats, this mix began at 0'29" for me, with some nice offbeat chords and a sine wave synth riff that fades in, repeats, then pitch bends down. The next element that enters unexpectedly is a very aggresive analog midrange that's louder than the other elements, doing an octave pulse. Then there's some downright frightening samples that are quite trippy and really did freak me out the first time, that segue nicely into a drum drop-out ambient section with fantastic, ethereal pads - wish I had this patch at my disposal, or something like it - which goes on for bit until the beat returns. There's also a cool upwards synth effect, sort of like a one-off alarm, that adds a good, playful flavor. By the time you get to 3'26", the mix has come quite a long distance from its first thirty seconds and is groovin' along quite lovely. Just goes to show, can't judge a ReMix by its intro :) Leifo writes:
Oh! and i also made this song for a veteran of yours.. "xBlindxx" hes absolutely the coolest guy.. much respect to him..so i entitled song...
. . . case you were wondering about the name. Nice stuff.
While trying to do too much would be a mix's downfall, this one pull's it off fairly o.k.
Ultimately, it winds up being an average run-of-the-mill mix though.

Suddenly everything gets very etheral, which was a bit too fast for me, and also kinda weird. I guess, overall, the song is kind of weird. It works, in it's own strange way.
My issue with the mix is that once the 'etheral' trance comes in, I feel like all trace of the source is lost. Maybe it's in the bass line or something, but the song loses it's recognizability (is that a word?) after that.

Trance section was nice with the exception of the laser noises. Were those from in game as well?
overall it's ok. Pretty creative considering how much source was availible.

GREAT job in starting out with the same feeling and continuing with it.

As a final note, I want this guy's synths/samples.
[EDIT: I almost forgot my other final remark.. Blind would be proud. He truly is dah bomb.]

I should have clarified, I didn't mean this in a bad way and not even to say that the intro is just... mediocre. Too be quite honest, I think it's excellent, but when I wrote the initial post I was a tad rushed. Mind you, the general consensus seems to be that the intro is a little strange, not neccessarily out of place, and not really bad. Rather it's very original, and a tad "out there." My personal feeling, as I should have stated in my first post, is the intro is amazing, just lovely. End of story.

(I liked the voice samples :D, would have liked to hear the one from the game title screen tho)

The intro is pretty good - it's not extremely catchy, but most remixes on this site don't start out much better. Interesting voice samples from the game around 1:10 or so. It's not a bad remix, and certainly worth a download, if only for its originality. :D

change of pace @ 1:30. i woulda prefered that original tune a little bit more =) its quite catchy. the last 2:30 goes to a trancy feel, which is good

The intro to this piece is very odd. From there its a very cool sounding piece with a Techno beat, and it's got some very experiemental sounds to it. Obviously, since I said techno and experiemnetal in the same sentence, twice now, not every one is going to take to this piece, but give it a try, you never know. I do very much love the vocal samples and I wish they were more frequent in this song, but I suppose I can't have everything I want. It's interesting, and catchy, which is why I Love this piece. Good work, DJ Leifo (Ko Miho Leifo), keep it up.
