Taking out the trash

[sumppi]

I was a bit bored so I started surfing on my mp3 archive and ran into some unfinished remixes. Some of 'em fun, most just awful. But anyway, I thought I'd post some clips here as an educational failure:

Last Ninja: Wilderness
http://www.playbynumbers.com/mp3/archive/lntest.mp3
This was around the time when Kill Bill 1 came out with the awesome track on the trailer and I wanted huge drums. Didn't know where to go from that point though.

PRI: Dream's Odyssee part 2
http://www.playbynumbers.com/mp3/archive/dreams.mp3
Maybe one day I'll be fast enough to play this through, but at that time I wasn't. Still kinda like this one though, I just couldn't figure out the first part for it. One idea was to do it as Metallica's One.

Johannes Bjerregaard: Sweet
http://www.playbynumbers.com/mp3/archive/sweet.mp3
This was around the time the two Sweet remixes came out and there was a lot of discussion about, umm, how suitable it was for some arrangements. This was pretty much done as a five minute joke on that.

Sensible Soccer on Amiga
http://www.playbynumbers.com/mp3/archiv ... _test1.mp3
This was supposed to be done in a hurry, but the time ran out and I never got around to finish it. After doing few polished AOR songs I wanted fuzz and stuff like that. Might do it eventually since I already have the live drums recorded for the whole song, the style just might a something else.

Slaygon: Calm
http://www.playbynumbers.com/mp3/archive/calm.mp3
This is the first version of Calm that was never released. Recorded on Apple's Garageband in a hotel room in Stockholm and on the ferry between Sweden and Finland.

Slaygon: Echo
http://www.playbynumbers.com/mp3/archive/echodemo.mp3
I've done more versions of Echo than is legal, I think. This is the very first one and as such pretty weird one.
http://www.playbynumbers.com/mp3/archive/echodemo2.mp3
A second version of Echo with sample drums and pretty close to the version I (hope I) will release eventually when I get vocals for it (I think so far there has been four takes on the vocals, but none finished yet). The final is a bit harder but I kinda like the lighter Rolling Stones feel on this version.

So, what unfinished remixes do the rest of you have in the closet?

I had loads and loads of unfinished stuff as you well know neil lol.
but after a long and drawn out discussion with myself i finally right click deleted the entire folder including their buzz extentions.

i now have no copies of my old stuff.. my new stuff or anything at the moment, all vsti's deleted all samples removed.. buzz re-installed.

hence why ive been so damn quiet, im starting again from scratch and just doing what i feel happy with.. whatever i stop enjoying remixing/writing gets deleted.. ill clearly never be happy with it if i cant even get on with it in conception.

im downloading your tunes now sump looking forward to hearing them, ill let u know what i think when i can.

[Infamous]

finish the sensible soccer tune please... with a bit of work i reckon that thing could be awesome.

Drums are crap, boring arrangement. Just never got around to finishing it.

Uhm. That's because I had put it in the wrong directory. =)
Should work now.

Good post there, Sumpps! Here are a few "work in progress"/"finish some time (probably never)" tunes that's on my hard drive. There are more, but I couldn't fit more than this on my webspace. All of these are unfinished, as you'll hear, but anyway...hope you'll find some kind of pleasure listening to them anyway. Crummy or not.

Bubble Bobble Medley
http://www.student.bth.se/~manh01/tunes ... bobble.mp3
I want to finish this, and hopefully I will because I simply think the Hillbilly-thingy stinks to high heaven. There are going to be vocals added, in fact I have the lyrics written for it... Also, if I finish it the drumming will be by Andreas Wallström.

Dulcedo Cogitationis
http://www.student.bth.se/~manh01/tunes ... tionis.mp3
Chris Hülsbeck gem that seems to have gone unnoticed, though I think there's one remix of it on RKO. I've actually done two remixes of this one that are unfinished. This one is sort of...trance I guess. I mainly did it to test the style out. Sounds kind of updated Amiga-ish...or something. The second remix I've done of this sounds kind of like "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" by Dead Or Alive. At least that's what I wanted it to sound like.

Invest Intro
http://www.student.bth.se/~manh01/tunes ... _intro.mp3
J. Tel tune. Don't really know how to continue on it, because the SID doesn't leave much more to add (at least not in the style this is done). I might have to try and incorporate some more SID's into it to finish it off. Perhaps a "C64 Megamix 2"? Any suggestions?

They Stole A Million
http://www.student.bth.se/~manh01/tunes ... illion.mp3
Kind of jazzy track this one. I hope I'll finish it, because I think it sounds rather good so far. Needs some work on the drums and the brass-section though, as well as finishing off the whole arrangement of course.



Right. Hope there's a treat or two for you there.

There isn't enough room on the internet for me to post my millions of unfinished remixes on, sorry

[xo]

Not bad slaygon! And finish those those tunes Sumppi.

Give them to me, and I'll sort that =)

[Vosla]

Or give them to Mail-order-Vosla. *Wink!*

[DHS]

Very nice choons here, both sumppi and makke good [and slay too].

strangely enough, some of the tunes you both remixed are or have been under treatement in my clinic too ...

As many others, i have a shitload of crap in my hd, but i'll eventually finish and release it, in a form (dhs) or another.

After all, even my human race 4 has been in my crap-pile for a long while.

Slaygon, Vosla: No

[devilhood]

Holy crap, I want to hear a finished version of the Sensible Soccer theme.
It made jiggle about and stuff, absolutely love it.
