Cauldron II - I am a Pumpkin Man - arranged by traumaReview by poga, 02/01/2006 What a creative and well done remix. It's really a unique interpretation of the original. The production is great, and the structure keeps it interesting. The a cappella clips work well, and the theme that comes in after the introduction drives the remix forward with a simple but enjoyable groove. I particularly like the almost distant-/muted-sounding break section from 1:22 to 1:37. The guitar effects at around 1:51 also work well to thrust the piece back into its main theme. The vocal bends at 0:22-35 and 2:24-2:37 are very reminiscent of Mike Patton. With a professional sound, a wonderfully creative direction for the source material, and an overall feel that doesn't take itself too seriously, this is (in my opinion) one of the strongest c64 remixes out there.I couldn't find the lyrics posted anywhere (and some people seemed to be curious about them), so I had a quick couple of listens and jotted down what I could make out. They're not official of course (as I'm merely a fellow listener), and I can't guarantee their accuracy, but I think they're correct for the most part. I couldn't make out most of the a cappella vocals, nor could I discern the 'low grumbling' from 1:30-1:37. Regardless, I have included them below: I'm a pumpkin man I'm a pumpkin man I'm a pumpkin man I'm a pumpkin man a, a [a cappella vocals enter] I'm a pumpkin man a, a I'm a pumpkin man a, a I'm a pumpkin man a, a I'm a pumpkin man (g-good day) [repeats in background] Aaaaowww… Aaaaowww… [following two stanzas in tandem] I'll be jumpin' you Just like pumpkins do I'm a pumpkin man and I'll be chosen like a pumpkin because I'm a pumpkin man and I will jump, jump, jump-jump-jump I'm a pumpkin, I'm a pumpkin, I'm a pumpkin, I'm a pumpkin Jumping, Jumping, Jumping, Jumping, Jumping, Jumping, Jumping, Jumping Aaaaowww… Aaaaowww… I'll be jumpin' you Just like pumpkins do [break section with low grumbling] I'll be jumpin' you Just like pumpkins do Aaaaowww… Aaaaowww… I'll be jumpin' you Just like pumpkins do Whoooaaa… I'm a pumpkin man I'm a pumpkin man I'm a motherfuckin' pumpkin man I'm a pumpkin man |
