lightforce (sleeping in tibet with a moog remix) - arranged by Sakana FaergeReview by iolo, 01/02/2008 I can't believe I'm the first who rates this as outstanding. This is just awesome. Yes, the start in the original is more energetic, but I think this re-mix is more in the mood of the second part of the SID. And yes, I think the second part is the best; the soundscapes remind me of the soundtrack of "Blade-Runner" (Vangelis). Technically flawless.S. Reich, Terry Riley, Robert Fripp, K. Schulze, Edgar Froese, Martin Galway, and probably R. Hubbard would be proud of this. Danke! |

Parallax Melody (alto sax) - arranged by markgReview by iolo, 17/12/2007 The good: I like your attitude -- submitting a remix again after some very unfair reviews of your previous efforts.I also like the sax's timbre for this melody. But are you sure this is alto? Sounds at least tenor to me. The bad: I think your skills at the instrument can't follow the melody quite well (no offense). Also, I think a more appropriate rhythm would be a better fit. The melody and the sax are too melancholic for this dance rhythm. Finally, I think it should be more concise (which would fit the "parallax melody" label more precisely). In the original, the previous segment of the tune settles the mood for this segment (in a quite remarkable way, I should add). Without that segment, the first couple of minutes of your remix--while waiting for the sax--gets quite boring. In sum: I'd recommend to keep practicing and re-submitting the remix in a couple of months. |

Sanxion (Oops I remixed it again) - arranged by WobblerReview by iolo, 17/12/2007 There are several great renditions of this song, but this version rules them all. Very original. The only mistake is the title ("oops…). I was reluctant about listening to it just because I thought about some kind of dance-pop tune. |
