Shouts
Waz shouts:The arrangement's okay, if a bit thin, but the attempt at doing Kraftwerk style vocals clearly does not work, and almost ruins the tune. The lead for the main voice is also way too shrill which doesn't appeal either. Needs a few tweaks, this one.
I like the retro-feel, but the vocoded voice is just awful; jittered and muffled. A nice effort, and the arrangement idea is totally acceptable, but the mixing and sound is pretty far from the top. Keep at it, CC & S. There's some real potential here.
Ziphoid shouts:Horrible vocoder. Sounds like an 8-voice Amiga mod. The different sounds are borderlining on being off-key at quite a few times.
The synth sequencing is decent enough. The selected vocal effect does not fit into the concept. Bassdrum and snare sound like they come out of a children's keyboard. Overall, the 80s idea is very nice but needs more careful execution.
gator shouts:Could be more atmospheric, it had potential.
eliot shouts:Hard decision to vote bad or poor, but I'm famous to vote harshly in the morning...
OK, but a bit to ordinary
I prefer the sid :-) sorry
It's a wonder that the track was NOT rejected.....
It is way too long, over dull and wtf is up with that vocoded?
Somebody pass me the bucket
Oh no!! Hollywood poker has such GREAT original SIDs.. And this version here doesn't have anything of them in it! Samples are way too loud anyways and mixing comes totally unfinished! Please try again! Thanks...
feark shouts:.... Ofcourse, havent heard the original one, maybe this is just a nearly copy of it. If yes, it is fantastic! Just like this tune. Good tunes shouldnt be remaked too much.
The vocals do indeed seem to have absolutely no place in this track whatsoever, but I have an unabashed love for the general sound you accomplished here. It reminds me at least slightly of Erasure, which is only a good thing.
A nice try in several places but the vocals made me never to replay it again.
Is that a Star Trek opening-door sample in there? Nice one!
Man people are harsh. Its kind of a fun remix. Especially all the c64 command nostalgia
Not so bad folx c'mon.....
