I wanted to make a Holiday Hare tune remix for christmas. Since Candion came on my ears lately, the choice was obvious. And once I got the name (see JCF thread) I downloaded some MP3s and got inspiration. I’m probably gonna be splattered by ratings again, but at least I had fun making it. =>
OOMG YOU MADE THIS WITHOUT TELLING ME >(((
The intro to the song was really cool, I liked the way you had the ‘static-y’ carol of the bells (Or whatever the original original was called) start skipping and then be replaced by the real song. The way you had the drums so overpowering at first was a real nice effect, it really showed how much this was a complete takeover.
The old melody is still intact, the same way it was back in ’95, however it had been replaced by an odd combination of overdrive guitar chords, pianos, and… The Slime Time (Sluggion remix) lead? I have often found myself at loss for decent guitar samples as well, however, so I can’t criticize you on that part. Unfortunately, the combination ends up quite a bit off-key in places.
The overall effect of the song was really good, in my opinion. The samples were well chosen and contribute to the overall feeling very nicely. When I reached the mid-point, I thought you were just going to repeat yourself similar to the original Candion, but I was pleasently surprised by the amount of variety in the song. It definitely constitutes an interesting listen.
The final verdict:
The effect of the song could not have been better, it contains just about the perfect amount of variety, but you might want to watch the clashing just a bit. I’d say an 8 and download reccomendation.

Candion! Carol of the Bells!
I like first 45 seconds. That’s not so much for 4 and half minute remix… After those 45 seconds comes detune. Total nightmare. Then, after 30 seconds it luckily ends. Good piano sample plays 30 seconds, then comes detune, again.
Main background sample is same as original, other (except piano) are bad. And detuned. Rhythm is okay, I like it.
(+) First 30 seconds
(+) Rhythm
(-) Totally detuned samples
Download it if you are musically deaf. So, rather not.

Introduction:
Carol of the Bells, staticy and grainy. . .which leads into a really bad-sounding Candion arrangement.
Song Analysis:
Ho. . .ly. . .crap. Is there anything in this song that isn’t out of freaking key?! Geezus Saint Nicholos. What could have been an acceptable arrangement/sample-swap quickly turned into an off-key piece of crap.
Sample Analysis:
The new samples work, but the key they’re in do not.
Final Analysis:
This is not worth a download.
