STIL comment"The ingame music was supposed to sound a little like Reggae, because the Rainbow Arts Boss was a fan of Bob Marley & others and the Title music [...] was a homage to True Blue from Madonna, also one of his favorites. In the end I think, despite the inspirations, the songs have their own character and are the only part of the game that wasn't heavily borrowed from Super Mario Brothers, which is something I am proud of."

OVERALL REMIX64 VOTE:

Shuttlebug:
I joined just to rate this, I dont quite understand the complaints, to me this is actually superior to the symphonic shades live orchastral version… And I LOVE the instruments… Its powerful, unique… Bright and dark where it needs to be… Red face!
WizardOz:
I love the symphonic take on this. But the different samples doesnt quite work together. Some retuning would have made a better remix I think.
XxDUSTYxX:
I was toying with the idea to choose grey, but I decided for yellow, because it's like pain-in-the-ass to compose an orchestral remix that really works. My orch-version of zoids took me several days, too… And it's close to CRAP!😉
LaLa:
A few very hokey samples ruin the feeling here. It also doesn't seem to know whether it wants to be a fantasy-style or a more 'serious' symphonic remix.
Metal:
What paralax said. There are just too many remixes of this tune. Explore HVSC! If you're serious about orchestral arrangements consider investing in a better sample library.
bosone:
The beginning was good and with a mood… But then the orchestra simply doesnt work. Maybe you should try to arrange in a different way the part and to use the samples in a different way.
