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:

infamous:
Straight forward, slightly muddy sounding dance-a-like tune, nothing particulary special but not offensive to the ear either.
DJ cK (yellow76):
Yes, I'm not sure if you wanted some chords to sound like this, anyway - I like the smooth synth-sounds.
Chris Abbott:
Almost a grey when it started to mess up the end of the tune, but otherwise… I can hear what this is trying to be, but it never takes off and actually does the business. Most frustrating.
suso:
If you are going to alter the melody to make it sound darker or something, there is a way to do it right (minor key arrangements, etc.), unfortunately, you didn't do it right and it just starts to make one cringe. Sorry, good luck next time.
NecroPolo:
Feels like an engine that doesn't rev up well. Some chords are strange. Anyway, Machinae Supremacy has stolen the show long ago…
LaLa:
Instrument selection is uninspiring and bland, arrangement is not to my liking (esp. The chord changes).
_steve_:
Never really takes off, and has incorrect notes/chords. That alone is enough to ruin any piece.
Satanarchist:
An OK effort, it being at 128Kbps does make things worse than they could be, the mixing is a bit muddy too, it's almost mono.
Dan:
Not bad, bit of work and a bit more free flowing could make this a fair bit better
Ziphoid:
Fairly decent arrangement and sound choices, but the 'artistical' change of harmonies just doesn't do it for me.
weasel:
TOO many giana-remixes already! So it's sadly even MORE average here…
Ryrynz:
No clarity, bland with wrong notes in places.
prowler:
Have to agree with steve and omoroca, this sounds all wrong…
omoroca:
Sounds very promising until 1:17, then the chords are messed up, which results in a disqualification. And hurts my ears. Ouch!
