Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Introduction:
Familiar with Sonic CD and it’s “Good Future”/“Bad Future” arrangements of its music? Yeah. . . That’s kind of like what this is. “Technoir Bad Future”.

Song Analysis:
I’m entirely not sure what to say about the arrangement of this song. It’s unique to say the least, but it’s just plain too busy for its own good. Too much going on at once. A million channels flying off at once does not always make a good song, particularly in this case.

Sample Analysis:
The song starts out really nicely with the weird guitarish thing in place of the normal “dumpa-dongs,” then quickly turns to pot thanks to most of the samples being out of tune with one-another. Additionally, I hear some Jazz 1 samples in there, mixed with Jazz 2 samples. Not very original.

Final Analysis:
Have I mentioned the volume control on ModPlug Player is too sensitive? Anyway. . . This song isn’t too thrilling to me. C’mon, man. I know you can do better’n this.

Introduction:
A. . .unique take on Jazz Belmont from Jazz Jackrabbit: the Secret Files. Supposedly. I sure don’t hear it.

Song Analysis:
Initially, and I’m being blunt here. . . Initially, it sounds like crap! Seriously. And it takes about half the song length to actually get anywhere, unfortunately. Then once it starts going somewhere, it kind of destroys itself a little ways after. This file actually makes me wince.

Sample Analysis:
The samples are all of very good quality, and I guess they work well for what they were going for, but what exactly were they going for? It’s hard to tell, needless to say.
In addition to that, some of the samples are simply not in tune with one-another. Period.

Final Analysis:
This song is definately a sort of “hip-hop” sort of song, but it sounds like something early MOD artists might have come up with, as opposed to something Alexander Brandon wrote. On that note, I truly cannot hear the Jazz Belmont part of this song, outside of the very start. This song isn’t very good at all, but it doesn’t deserve anything much lower than a 3.7, so it’s not a complete flop.

I wish you high rating for originality and overall… It’s great remix with little worse harmony…

Pavlik: It can be played in normal WinAmp, but I hardly reccommend ModPlug Tracker or ModPlug Player (www.modplug.com) or XMPlay.

Yes, I love you, Jazz. Nice mix. Really. I’ll maybe review it soon.

Danyjel pretty much said what I was going to, honestly. But. . .I’ll try and add on to that.

Introduction:
Long story short, this is a simple, four-channel version of “Jazz Be Damned” by Alexander Brandon. Or is it?

Song Analysis:
I consider myself very familiar with the works of both Alexander Brandon and Robert A. Allen. . .but this file. . .sounds like nothing from either artist. Nothing I can trace to Jazz Jackrabbit 2, anyway. I just don’t know. . . It sounds nice enough, and all, but it just doesn’t sound familiar.
Also, as Danyjel said, “instrumental does not always mean a low count of samples.” Honestly, any song that does not have lyrics to it is a freaking instrumental. Heh.

Sample Analysis:
The one and only sample used in the song is a very nice sample indeed. Not much else I can say about that.

Final Analysis:
I’m not at all entirely sure what this was supposed to be, regardless of the title. I also, as I’d mentioned, can’t trace this back to “Jazz Be Damned” at all, so. . . Going by that, I’m going to have to give this file a 3.7. It’s pretty, but it’s entirely unfamiliar-sounding. . . Worth a download, though.

Stuff Placement:hm?

Enemies:wait

Eyeca-

forgot, this ain’t a level.

ok, i dont need to here the Linkin Park song to know this is a GREAT remix. you musta worked pretty hard on this. its got a nice blend of the two songs. but actually i dont like it too much at the end. cant really explain it. you have to download it first and review it yourself.

Yo, Tubz/Tublear here. Easy rater, I gotta say this song…

Linkin Park – Points of Authority (DJ JSZ JazZ Remix) is hot! You did a great job, dawg, have a nice 9! Download recommendation haha!

You can’t get a 10 because It’s a remix, sorry.
(Unsupported rating removal. You really did nothing more than say that this is good, twice. Try explaining your rating and giving me a feeling of what the upload is like. ~Violet)

I will try to be not too evil. But, in true, I hate Linkin Park. I like only Numb from them, and particulary Faint. Everything other has to be killed, by my opinion.

Note: I listened only mp3 version.

It’s hard to review this, some parts are good, some are bad, some are just mashed-up, some fits greatly to each other. But reason why to download could be great fitting of second Tubelectric theme with POA. And that rap (normally I HATE rap, but this is excellent) rulezZ in combination with that second theme…

Samples are bad, just as original, too metalish. Tempo is slower than in original, beats are okay.

In true, it’s original. Yes, that’s the right word. Original. JSZ Jazz did something like my ElekTronique Army, he combined his theme with Robert’s Allen Jazz theme. I was doing that more than month, and I guess he wasn’t doing it much less time. My tune was pretty… electronic, his tune has to be instrumental. With some beats. And with some metal.

I like it more than when JSZ Jazz sent it to me when he wanted to timmish his work. My style, how you apparentely know, is electronica, so you think I didn’t like it just cause of that I don’t like anything different, what’s hardly not true. I didn’t like it for its cacoharmony. Now, when I am listening it, I can hear harmony on 90 % of song, it means everywhere where is not that darn Metal Darn, what is big minus for you (from me). Without that Metal Darn was this tune dead, it’s cool how it makes it alive, but author could synthesize it with other samples.

Now, when I am listening it again, the main thing I don’t like is repetitivity and slow tempo. Repetitivity can be good, but with combination of this 1,5 × slower tempo than in original, it’s hardly annoing. That lead melody with those slow drumloops… truly, bad. This is semi-saved by good snares and hi-hats.

Sample choice, except hardly slow drumloops and unsynthesized metal guitar is okay, long strings sound well without any splitting of sample when repeating. Pianos are very good, background chords are just cool. Lead sample, like effects, is without any problem too.

Rating: 6.0 + 1.0 for originality, melodies greatly fit into each other.

Hmm this is an odd thing to rate.
However, the lyrics seem to make since to Jazz Jackrabbit I think a line goes “The Pace is Too Fast, You Just Won’t Last”, and Tubelctric fits in with the song(some points its hard to tell if they wer interwinded or if this was or the song actually is)
It’s more of an curiosity though, like Battery Check. However it may gain a cult following(Such as ZIM or Alien Homind). I personally liked it, and this good for people who like non-video game music and like rock/Linkin Park. The silence at the end is a bit awkward though. Being a fan of both rock and the tubelectric music, this final rating mayb be a bit biased, but I say an 8.
DL Reccomandation? Yes, but more so if you’re a fan of Rock or the Tubelectic music.
(This review has random uses of incorrect captilization, spot some and get nothing)

This is certainly a tricky one.

The songs definitely do seem to intwine fairly well, but you really didn’t do anything new, per se. Besides that, I think Linkin Park is awful in general, but that isn’t really your fault. But there aren’t a lot of vocals (THANK YOU), so it’s not that bad.

As a song, it mixed pretty well. The quality is nice. Transitions between break downs in the songs sound natural. This is still just a mix, though, so I can’t give you that high a rating. I give it a 7.7 and a DR. This is quite usable.

I definitely do not believe it’s a bad remix.
It does not only work, it has some very nice parts to it, both streams flowing nicely along each other. Other parts aren’t as well fitting, but they are outweighed.
I also do not believe that it was simply two mp3s put together. One who pays attention can easily realize that there were adjustments of speed, parts cut out, repeated, etc, etc.
While this is not a perfect remix, it’s by no means a bad one and the author deserves positive feedback.

Introduction:
I guess it’s exactly what was promised. “Points of Authority” mixed with Tubelectric?

Song Analysis:
I. . . I’m not sure. I’m really not sure how to review this. It’s. . .just a couple intertwined files. That’s all. Points of Authority with some slowed-down Tubelectric thrown in. It works. For the most part. It starts to desynch around 1:56, though. Quite noticably. Then there’s an obvious “jump” at 2:16. Then another desynch at 2:56. Finally, there’s a long, unnecessary silence at 3:18 onward.

Mixing Analysis:
It mixes alright. For the most part. As I said, there’s a few desynchs and jumps. The songs could have mixed a little better than this. It’s an original concept, but the mix itself isn’t that great overall.

Final Analysis:
. . .I’m not sure if I should rate this or not. This is one of those. . .things. It’s an MP3 of Linkin Park’s “Points of Authority” lightly mixed with Tubelectric. If I were to rate it, I’d give it a 2.2 for the above reasons and for no other reasons than that. The legality of this doesn’t effect the score at all.
If you like Linkin Park, this is a good download for you, considering it’s an entire Linkin Park song with some ignorable Tubelectric parts. I wouldn’t suggest downloading it myself, however. As I keep saying, it’s not a very good mix.

Edit: . . .eh. I went ahead and rated it.

Second Edit: You people that give this “remix” a high rating make me sad. :x

Third Edit: Eh. Rating withdrawn. Considering I have no idea what the original song sounds like, and furthermore could care less, perhaps that’s not very fair to Jazzy. I was rating the MP3 version to begin with, not the IT version. The IT version isn’t all that much more impressive to me, frankly. It still goes out of synch in some places. There’s a few “skips” here and there. Just ain’t impressive to me. And given the IT version, the score would drop from a 2.2 to a 2, as I’d rate the IT a 1.7. But whatever. I can admit when I’m not being completely fair.

“Just upload it normally by putting both files into the zip.”

Good luck on trying to upload a .zip which is 5 MB big.

I could download it now. I’m usually not much into reviewing musics, but there’s always the first time.

What we have here is a nice mash-up of Tube Electric (JJ1) and Linkin Park’s Points Of Authority.

Infact, I like this bootleg a lot, and will put it into my MP3 playlist I think.

The two songs fit together nicely, and create a nice new experience, especially if you knew both songs before.

The tube electric guitar was re-arranged, which sounds nice.

Overall:

A nice mash-up, worth the download especially for Rock fans.

EDIT:

Cooba, I just noticed that myself. :P

Told’ja all I needed was some sleep. Now I’m back in the swing and ready to kick some fuzzy green tail. :x

Introduction:
Strange, strange title(un-l33ted, “Fan’lnt”?) for a pretty decent easy-listening-to-rock arrangement of Fanolint.

Song Analysis:
Starting out, the song doesn’t sound too much like Fanolint. In fact, it sounds more like something you might hear down in Chinatown or something.(Which isn’t a bad thing, mind you.)However, this song really begins to pick up around 2:50 when we hear added drums in the background. Around 3:50, though, all the samples playing begin to sort of clash with one another, but this only last for about fifteen seconds or so. Or maybe it just takes that long for me to adjust to the sound. Harr.
Finally, it starts to come to a long-winded, peaceful close from 4:51 onward.(That’s almost a pattern, there. One minute off from the other two major changes.) Nice.

Sample Analysis:
I think that all the samples Jazz picked for this work quite nicely with one another to make both “parts” of the song(“easy listening” and “rock”) pleasing to the ears. As I said, a couple of things might need some fine-tuning, but as it is, it’s nothing terribly harmful to the song itself.

Final Analysis:
It’s a little dry and doesn’t sound terribly like the original Fanolint song in some parts, but overall, it’s a really nice arrangement! Some things are a wee bit out of key, but honestly, it’s nothing that would hurt the ears. Additionally, it’s definately way better than some of his older work.
I recommend this for download because it’s a fun arrangement, dispite the keys of some of the samples.

Introduction:
A remix of the Jazz Jackrabbit GBA title theme that sounds absolutely nothing like it’s supposed to.

Song Analysis:
This isn’t “Jazz Jackrabbit Advance” at all. I’ve heard the title theme playing about a million times due to me playing the game on Normal and Hard mode to unlock everything I could(GameFAQs mission, basically), and this. . .is not the Jazz Jackrabbit Advance theme song. At all. It sounds more like parts of Letni mixed with some original garbage than anything.

Sample Analysis:
The samples are alright, if not a little loud in some parts.

Final Analysis:
This is garbage if you’re looking for something Jazz Jackrabbit-related. Otherwise, it’s an alright piece of original music. I guess. . .

Introduction:
A. . .very nice metal arrangement of Diamondus. I’m surprised.

Song Analysis:
There are a couple of bad notes here and there, and in parts, the drums freak out, but otherwise, this works, and works very well! You should be proud!

Sample Analysis:
The samples do their job exceedingly well in this arrangement.

Final Analysis:
This was so worth the download. I’m glad I got to hear this. Download it if you’re a fan of heavy metal, folks.

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.

Introduction:
A “Lab Rat” arrangement that starts off strong, then winds down into something less substancial than the drums might lead you to believe.

Song Analysis:
As I said, this song starts off pretty nicely with the drums vaugely hinting to the original electronic melodies of Lab Rat. But then we hear some of the original samples and notes playing with little changes other than a raise in pitch. That builds into further chaos and insanity which gets far too busy for its own good and ends up being loud, obnoxious, and annoying. Notes clash, pitches skew, and overall, it sounds poor.

Sample Analysis:
As I said, notes clash, but samples seem to clash even more. There are very few parts of this song that sound good enough to make me want to listen to it more than the necessary one time I need to in order to write this review.

Final Analysis:
This is a good arrangement which quickly turns into something you might find in a high-energy horror film. I don’t recommend this for download unless you’re bored and feel like making your ears bleed.
