R-Type Theme (c64 remix by Instant Remedy)

This is another attempt in the quest to update my sound to 2016 and sound like contemporary commercial EDM-tracks (how kids like it it these days) but it's definitely not everyone's cup of tea. I guess I spent around 80-100 hours on this remix, most of the time evaluating techniques, FX/sounds and instruments. If I would make a regular IR remix it would of course include the great arp-chords, maybe parts of the lead and don't use as much pumping etc.

Although blaspheming by excluding the original arp-chords I feel the track came out pretty neat and met my expectations and goals both soundwise and musical wise. It's full of energy and some french speech spice things up even further.

Waz shouts:

High energy to say the least. Bouncy, and in your face, although some could argue a little too bouncy!

bastard shouts:

I LOVE bouncing!

LaLa shouts:

I like everything about this remix - except for the extreme pumping effect, which I find downright annoying.

kjetiln shouts:

Love it! Could easily be played at clubs! Nice touches to the lead sound. The baseline is a little boring, but that's my only complain! Will definitely add to playlist!:)

vincenzo shouts:

Sorry, to me this melody doesn't fit this genre somehow... I might be too old but I also don't like the (over)pumped mixing. Still, it's a great remix, yellow face overall.

NecroPolo shouts:

Dancefloor filler, I think the additional parts / extensions add greatly to the overall picture, great work. My only gripe is that I got seasick by the overdosed sidechain pumping effect :)

ChrisBond shouts:

Solid!

AmiStyler79 shouts:

Bit too bouncy for my taste, but well arranged!

rico shouts:

Instant Remedy at his best - true to the original yet still with a unique style and taking the spirit of the song to a very modern piece of music

omoroca shouts:

You are right, not everyone's cup of tea. Great effort anyway!

DHS shouts:

Pumping fits the genre (a crossover between generic edm and melbourne bounce), so it's not a minus for me. Doesn't get full red only because the limiter is really too heavy even for the type of track. Overall great work!

Zilog shouts:

"Aucun d'entre eux n'est jamais retourné".... Definitely 21st Century Google translation :(..... Double grammatical error... "Beaucoup d'entre eux ne sont jamais revenus".... Who cares? Who speaks French anyway eh? After "Engrish", we have "Grench".

jokesoldier shouts:

Cheers for the Grench!
