The piano interlude is gentle and haunting, and I just love the quirky, yet spooky atmosphere crafted here" There's a lot going on on a micro-level, and it keeps this relatively simple take interesting throughout. ""Subtle dynamics", I like that, Larry, seems to describe this to a T. However, the artist changes everything else up and introduces new elements, so it's not a huge deal. That's true, in retrospect - the beat is good, but does stay pretty static. Other elements are smoov all around, and while straightforward, the arrangement executed the genre well." "Would have liked a bit more evolution w/ the beat - it's good, but it stays fairly static throughout. I weighed in again on this vote, so let's see what I said: Intonation gets a little more challenging with some curveballs further in, like the descending piano line at 2'31" (quite odd but didn't bother me) and strings at 3'07" - I find that changeups like this keep things fresh, especially in ballads. This arrangement reminds me of some of Kaijin's work - smooth, well-produced ballad approach, in this case with more of an emphasis on the beat. Things intro w/ smooth EP and bass and then a slick R&B/hip-hop beat comes in, synth pads swoosh around, EP trades out to acoustic piano, and things develop from there. There's a smorgasbord of Mega Man tunage out there, and while the NES classic II & III get so much (deserved) love, it's great to see the horizons expanded a bit. It does, and no worries, we added MMX5 to our database just for you :) Hope that slump abates and it doesn't take another 4+ years to get another mix from DCT, as this piece reminds us of his sonic skills, even if his domain name makes it hard to forget. *sigh* Anyway, I hope it meets the OCR standards."
Creativity arose, and I put this arrangement together.then the slump returned. I was in a creative slump one day when the End Credits song for MMX5 showed up in the mp3 player.
I've never played any of the games in the Mega Man X series but always enjoyed the music. All my artist info is still accurate, but I don't think Mega Man X5 is in the database. "I recently completed a new remix and seeing as how it's been forever since my last one was posted (though "conventional" calendars might say it's only been about 4 and a half years), I figured I'd submit it.
