| STIL comment | Before starting on this game Galway bought Rendez-Vous (by Jean Michel Jarre). He listened to it daily. His CD player broke 2 weeks later and didn't get repaired for 2 months, during which time Martin worked on Parallax, without realizing that Rendez-Vous was unconsciously creeping into the music. He realized it only after he played the album again after the game was already shipped. "[Parallax] was 11 minutes long, certainly my longest at the time. I took my development gear home to work on it for a week or two. I just said to myself 'OK, it's going to be this mega-tune, so the intro has to be mega'. The intro took up two-thirds of the tune! I actually got bored with it, and stuck that silly melody on the end which doesn't really match. Going back I would have made it less melodic. I wanted to reflect the gigantic visual proportions represented by the parallax effect in the game so that's why it has an 'epic' feel."(MG) |

Agemixer:
Can't live without that LEAD. (Nice prediction) 😉 I might have given yellow, but had to compensate. Static and detuned, but in the end it is pretty OK (not melodywise though)
anaconda:
Even though the lead needs some work, the song is very good. The rest is very well performed. Electronic-Harmonica-on-Helium Remix?
kjetiln:
The lead doesn't ruin anything… It improves it, though on the high frequenzies it may need some tweaking… It fits the style of the remix. This IS a retro remix, and a very good one!
XxDUSTYxX:
Nice sound and good mixing. More variation in the drums and your remix would be outstanding!
L0rd3vyL:
I like it, but It's not something I listen to on a regular basis. The lead could be better
Teilfinanzierung:
Good sound, and some good ideas in it
LaLa:
I like most everything about this remix except the lead. That lead sound is annoying, flat and boring and completely ruins the otherwise good groove behind it. I much prefer the harmonica heard towards the end.
prowler:
Agrees 100% with symbols.
symbols:
Only just a bit out of tune is the lead, and its far too simple, although I see what you've tried to do, but it has a looped sample quality to it and not so synth. Otherwise catchy and nice variation of the actual tune.
_steve_:
Have to agree with Amok, it is a nice enough mix, but the lead sample sounds wrong and gets annoying very quickly.
Amok:
Well mixed. But the lead ruins it…
Supergrobi123:
The lead and the drums ruin this catchy track!
Xenix:
Strong sound! But please fix that lead 😀
bratac:
Wrong notes at missing pitch-bends and wrong background chords destroy this one.
romeo_knight:
Nice production but the lead issues (wrong syncing to chords, worst sound ever) destroy everything. Sorry.
pezz:
No build-up to the awesome bit like the original, which you could have done easily with the style you chose. And there's bits that are just un-faithful or simply out of tune. Not very good.
iolo:
The green one was deserved here, I'm afraid. The lead is out of tune and unfaithful… And that is the worse beat ever for Parallax. Sorry.
omoroca:
OOUUUUUCHH!!! What is that? The melody doesn't only have wrong notes, it's also about 4 seconds early!!! Arrgh! Gotta turn this off!
