Description

This remix came out of nowhere. I just toyed around with Modplug and the results sounded a bit like the Dark Groove melody… So I took the actual one and adjusted it to the style of this thing. Later on it evolved into this. Yes, this remix took a lot of work, many parts were checked over and over again, every single sample was carefully adjusted to the tone so the notes were just like they should be, plus adjusting the volume and panning was also a very delicate matter to me this time. So I really, really hope that maybe finally this time, the off-keyness is totally minimal. I’m sure I need to learn more about how various samples can interfere with each other even on the same actual note, but nonetheless, this is my most polished and professional remix ever. Or at least that’s what I’m sure of.

Well, um… hm.

Definitely not what I was expecting, to be sure.

Slow electro is right, for sure. There’s enough of Dark Groove laced in there to be recognizable, but it’s tweaked just enough to make people wonder just what it is they’re listening to.

I find it extremely hard to believe that you mutated Dark Groove into this, GGJ. I would have believed you if you said you made this from scratch. Then again, I haven’t tracked enough to know what is possible and what isn’t.

For sheer musical quality, you’ve earned yourself an 8.2 from me. It’s not really my brand of music, but I tried not to let that faze my opinion. For all of you other persons, download this… it’s the only way you’ll ever really understand.

FINALLY, iv’e found a good remix by JSZ Jazz. Where on earth did you get this from? It’s great. Drums, synth use, everything was good. 8.5

[Rating (8.5) clearance. Why was the synth use great? Why was the whole song great? You need to EXPLAIN why were some aspects good before giving a rating. ~Cooba]

Really, couple times better than normally. Firstly, it’s pretty original, second thing is that you managed to minimize the offkeyness almost as much as possible.

Style of the song is very strange, it’s some slow electro, but it sounds good.
New industrial electro melodies, modified original ones, main melody of the original as nice background… I have some reservations to bassline, it itself (even without anything) sounds weird… Like… Offkey ;)
The tune uses nice rhythm combined with disorted, hard drumloop, it perfectly fits to the song, but actually there should be bigger work with drumloop, the tempo isn’t fully adjusted so it’s not right-on-beat (but it almost can’t be heard).
Main power of the song is that it uses number of awesome effects, which gives song the right grades and thanks to effects, song quickly and… effectively ;) transits between its parts.
Imho, tune sounds empty at some places, some string could probably help.

I like this song, although I have few reservations. Originality and cool effects combined with ungood bassline and empty sound, that’s… Great deal! :D

Tol’ja I’d do it, and I did it, too.

Introduction:
Kind’a techno, kind of electronica, kind of groovy. This is a Dark Groove remix that sounds like it came

Song Analysis:
The song starts out lighter than Dark Groove and a little faster. In fact, it only sounds remotely like Dark Groove.(A passerby might argue that it isn’t, for example.) It’s also a bit repeatitious all throughout. Around 1:20 does the song start to show a little more “Dark Grooviness,” getting right into the groove with the original notes(roughly) of Dark Groove, which leads to a slight breakdown around 2:07.5. The song more or less repeats its various patterns(with some slight alterations) from then on until we get to around 3:10.5 where it goes into a full-fledged mess of rhythms and notes for a while. And I mean that in a good way. More repeatition ensues, then finally, the song comes to a nice fake close around 4:33 which leads into another breakbeat drum session, and finally, a mellow ending. It works, but as stated, it’s a little repeatitious.

Sample Analysis:
The samples are all much more crisp than the original samples from Dark Groove and, as far as I can tell, not many(if any) of the originals were used. Maybe the drums from another Jazz 2 song. In any case, all the samples sound good, and sound good together.

Final Analysis:
Repeatitious, but very worthy of any given Jazz 2 level. Plus, it’s a lotta fun to just sit back and listen to.

Score: 6.7
“Nondescript” Points: 0.5
Total Score: 7.2

Recommendation?:
Sure. As stated, it’s fun to listen to by its lonesome and could easily be implemented into any given stage.(Probably Heck or Castle. Maybe some technological stage.)
