Dreamy, but not ambient enough. A great idea, right choice of instruments, but more aftereffects would've helped. A little mish-mashy, but it works pretty good.
omoroca shouts:
Beatutiful!
spavatch shouts:
Very nice remix. For some reason this SID tune will forever remain in my memories as the 'April 10th tune'...
symbols shouts:
Moody and really nice vibes overall. Often come back to listen to this one!

Basically, this mix is not bad at all. The atmosphere is good but the mix could have been mixed somewhat more 'spatial'.

What makes this mix sounding not very good? The sounds used as snaredrum are very soon getting (very very) annoying in my opinion. If these are replaced, it would be a bigger pleasure to listen to this mix.

Ouwehand's Last Ninja music tended to take more of a filmic stance than the original tunes, and Yoshi's remix enhances this feel, bringing to mind the ideal soundtrack for the film of the game. The mellow sounds and occasional, carefully chosen samples lend the piece a warm atmosphere that encapsulates, while the dirty but effective drumloops effortlessly carry the track over its four-and-a-half minute length. Recommended.

An almost dreamlike attempt here from Yoshi. I find sometimes the instruments however tend to get muggled up with each other creating a mix up with the ears, but those drums are really cool and very much effective. The lack of variety with the instruments tends to keep this moving at a lazy pace.

The real problem for me is that the instruments are too similar as they tend to collide creating a mish mash of sounds which detracts from what could have been a better remix.

A remix of a remix… interesting… better a cover of a remix.
There is not much to write… it's a bit boring, like the original, it's a 1:1 cover that lacks of own inspiration. While the drums are set on the left and right edge of the stereo-panorama, the lead is set just beside the middle.. very strange. The end of the song is a bit abrupt. Maybe a different choice of instruments would have helped the song to overcome the average rating.
