Description

What doesn’t rhyme with Diamondus but sounds neat anyway? LEMON DUST! Here is my first released song / remix, in all of it’s hideousness. Nothing too great, but it might be worth a listen. Also, if you listen to this with WinAMP or JJ2, it won’t loop as well as if you listen to it with a module specific program, such as XMPlay or ModPlug Tracker.

Ok, just to get one thing out of the way: Alexander Brandon did the music for JJ2, Robert Allen did the music for JJ1. Somehow people always assume Alex did the music for both games, which is bogus (Alex hadn’t even been hired by Epic in 1994, I think he was still school then)

Hey, just because I “helped” doesn’t mean I can’t review, I only gave suggestions :p

Main Melody

Completely borrowed from the original JJ1 Diamondus song, right down to the last note. Nothing to complain about, it’s his first remix, it’s safe to stick to the original melody. The beat in the background is completely the same, even tho it’s not that noticable unless you listen closely.

Instuments

If there’s one way to describe them, it’s loud. Ok, the one for the main melody is loud, a loud synthesized (aren’t they all? :p) sound. The beat in the background consists of mellow drums and hand claps (hey, I’m not familiar with instruments, bare with me here :P), and in my opinion they sound great, but with a little more experimenting he could have found some better ones :)

Miscellaneous

There are a couple of thing I’d like to note. First, it’s the tempo: compared to the original, this remix is slightly faster (like comparing Pezrox with Ceramicus). Also, the last part of the original has been cut (the amplified beat). The result is a shorter, slightly more active song, fitting for JJ1 Diamondus.

Verdict

Not bad for a first try, not bad at all, it’s worth a listen. He shows some promise. I just wish people would try less conventional JJ1 songs more often, but that’s just me ^^

(Reported unsupported rating (7.7) removal. Ok, you feel Japanese Food. How does that mean anything? Is that good? Is that bad? Does it help you arrive at your rating? If not, were there any other factors involved? ~Violet)

Introduction:
Gah! My ears!! The title — “Lemon Dust” — must be some sort of reference to being high, considering this thing sounds like it was done on a high of some sort. And that’s not a compliment!

Song Analysis:
So. . .many. . .clashing tones! So very many clashing tones!! It’s enough to make one’s ears bleed.

Sample Analysis:
The entire song reeks of very bad tones, bips, boops, and good samples turned bad. The samples themselves are alright, but the way they’re put into the song. . .is not.

Final Analysis:
I don’t recommend this file for download at all. The horrendous noises. . . The horror. . . Arr.
