[Legoxela8]

[Honorarificus]

@Legoxela8

Those are beta-Balrogs.

balrogception!

[shugochara78]

Is that Natural Killer Cyborg in the background?

[Tikeslar]

It's not "recomposed", it's just remixed (badly).

[DrellisSkiad]

@Tikeslar Actually a remix is an alternative version of a recorded song, made from an original version. None of the songs on this album are mixes of the original OST. I recomposed them from scratch. Different instrumentation, expression, timing, etc. Some have different intros, and all but a couple have different outros. Many have different breaks and bridges as well as alternative movements. Thanks for the criticism though I really appreciate it. Even when it is feckless, and flippant. ;]

[Tikeslar]

@DrellisSkiad You got your terminology all wrong.

To "recompose" something you have to change it's composition. You changed the instrumentation, and from what I understand you've transcribe it yourself - which is respectable.

But the composition itself is identical to the original, and that's the point I'm making.

You might have done more than that, as you claim, in your other videos (which I never listened to), so I hereby formally restrict my criticism to this particular score.

[DrellisSkiad]

@Tikeslar Although I don't have my terminology wrong; you are correct in that this demo version of the track on YouTube has no significantly discernible variation to the original theme. On the album there's a short hard reprise near the end of the track with coarser melody. Limited to this video your criticism is justified albeit I would use the term "cover" as it still contains no sampling of the source material to grant it remix status.

[jorix3]

@DrellisSkiad holy tits! a well worded, nicely explained exchange of opinions on youtube?!? AND NO SWEARING! I'm dreaming again aren't I

[LaceytheBunny]

Wonderful remix! I absolutely love this piece of work and MUST put this on my MP3 player. And silly picture, I like how he is made out of tiny Barlog's!

[DrellisSkiad]

@LaceytheBunny The Master is almost finished. You'll have MP3's galore very soon.

[LaceytheBunny]

@DrellisSkiad No need, I have a special thing that will convert them, it's in my MP3 right now!

If you use Firefox you can get a Fast Youtube Video Downloader.

[DrellisSkiad]

@LaceytheBunny Awesome. Yea, I use VD in Firefox too. You should know that any of the tracks you pull off my videos are unmastered early releases. In many cases the song structure, and instrumentation may have changed. In any case I urge you to replace your demo copies with the final copies when the album is released.

[RedBigButton]

@LaceytheBunny or any vidtomp3 converter ^^ like vidtomp3 for example

[KayneArcheron]

I love the percussion build-up in this piece. starts out simple and clumsy, then builds into something big and terrifying... kinda like Balrog for the first half of the game.

[DrellisSkiad]

@KayneArcheron HUZZAH!!!

[Tsukistar1]

Big balrog made of many tiny balrog, lol

[DrellisSkiad]

@Tsukistar1 Indeed…

[Megamanstar774]

Balrog is a piece of SOAP. Yes.

[DrellisSkiad]

@Megamanstar774 YES!

[Ionescel]

I regard this song as 2 main parts looping and looping

the first part make Barlog "looks" cute

while the secondmakes Barlog "looks" more badass (?)

[DrellisSkiad]

@Ionescel That's kinda how I split it up, yep.

[earthboundisawsome]

Love y our remixes, when are you doing more?

[DrellisSkiad]

@earthboundisawsome Thank you so much! They're all done I just have to preview the final mix and master on each one and bounce them out. Been so busy… I'll go over a few of them, and get them posted today. Thanks again!

[earthboundisawsome]

@DrellisSkiad np your remixes are awsome.
