Story

All of my early tracks were done without using a DAW-i continued this method until I did the Thanatos remix. Basically I hooked up all my synths to a mixer setup in my living room. Midi'd Winter Games for example on my hardware seq, pressed play and recorded straight to CD using my hifi as monitor speakers. Its a very quick way of making a remix though you don't have enough control over the sound quality of the tracks but I think if you have recording experience its a liberating way to make music.

Shouts

LMan shouts:

I think Martin Dodd was heading for a "Chariots Of Fire" style, but it's turned out a bit thin and lacks esprit. Good potential though!

Waz shouts:

The potential is there, even if in terms of sound it's not quite there yet. Nice build up through the tune, and with some tweaks it'd be excellent.

Tas shouts:

A really good effort given a bit more knowledge in sounds and mastering this could have been awesome. The idea is there, and the arrangement is there to an extent but the application lets it down.

Dumper shouts:

I do like the feel of this, good work Martin.

c64glen shouts:

Inoffensive.

eliot shouts:

This had been made so much better...

anaconda shouts:

Nothing special. But well done produced.

Mitch van Hayden shouts:

A great remix! Very enjoyable to listen...

john_cope shouts:

Yes, the instruments could sound stronger, but it's still very hymnic. One of my favourites. Huge nostalgic effect due to the bobsled melody.

amigamer shouts:

Great remix! You kept the characteristics of the original (mainly because of the bass pattern used) and added a great heroic 2nd part. The only thing to stop me from giving it a red is that sometimes it sounds indeed a bit thin but it's a marvellous piece

omoroca shouts:

Boring! Definitely NOT going for gold! Not even bronze!

gamleerik shouts:

I enjoyed it very much. I like how it builds up towards the end.

YogibearRenoise shouts:

Very nice atmosphere!

XxDUSTYxX shouts:

Simple, but very cool!
