SotW - Tetris Remix - Page 2

**smartdude1212** · 11-2-2006, 05:26 PM

I actually really hated this song.
I dunno why... the general song was boring. Didn't even remind me of Tetris...
Steps were... meh. There've been worse, but there've definitely been better...
My general opinion.

I think I'm the only person who thinks that the Tetris music does not mix well with the background percussion.
And the steps were... interesting. I don't hate them, I just don't really like the music.

You're definitely not. I can say straight out that that was among the worst percussion I've ever heard that wasn't intentionally bad.

Speaking of the percussion, I find it funny that terrible simfile makers tend to utterly ignore the percussion and step only the main melody, like here.

**MyRoseTearsBlood** · 11-2-2006, 06:58 PM

Im gonna agree with shash on this song... the beginning and ending tests you a bit and then the body of the song is dead... but hey, its a classic

So you'd like lol stream the entire time?

Well that would fit this trainwreck of a song, given that the percussion here is a loop of lol stream same exact pattern over and over again with no fills whatsoever

It would help if the percussion was actually interesting, but the steps were still quite bad. About what I expected from FFR though, given the lack of quality in the vast majority of its files.

I hate it. I think it's a waste of space. Get rid of it.

**Megmo** · 11-2-2006, 07:38 PM

I've heard this before years ago. The original tetris song to this on N64 has to be my favorite arcade song ever next to the song for the dark moon caverns level in Diddy Kong Racing. I pwnd that game. You probably have no idea what I'm talking about so moving on...You gotta love the simple things in life and staring at big combos. I'm gonna stick my neck out there and say I like it and support it unlike the rest of you even though I like the original much better.

Not to mention that the percussion itself wasn't exactly well synergized. I literally cringed when I heard the kick on a woofer. Overall, the song needs compression, EQ cleanup, and less dependency on FXs. Wispy noises are wispy!

I literally cringed at all of the percussion, PARTICULARLY the clap.

Notably also is the offkey piano part not far into the first section of jumps. How can anyone take the song seriously after hearing that? At that moment I stopped playing for a second or two out of sheer awe at how bad it sounded.

Agreed, but KgZ doesn't know how to do anything but sequence stock FL sounds.

**Tasselfoot** · 11-2-2006, 08:09 PM

as i said from the start... the song and file are not great. i wanted an arcade song. period.

I think he used Reason on this track. Not entirely sure though.

He sounds pretty cocky about it in his thread:

This tetris remix has a very wonderdul intro with the piano, and the song is probably a very different tetris remix then probably most people have made. The song sounds really cool when all the sounds just blur into one big colorful chord.

About the steps, I thought they were kind of fun at the beginning, but the middle bored me.

xjohnieboyx · 11-3-2006, 12:17 AM

This song blows. Not cuz i bf'd it 10 times, but because the middle is terrible. I'm not too instrumental, but I assume what Rai was talking about were the drums that were going at a much faster speed than the main melody. THAT'S what the steps should've been based off, not the gay 3-note **** :/

2/10

Not to bash you Tass, but shouldn't you pick songs for quality and not because a genre hasn't had a file in awhile?

In this case, the latter was more important because of just how dormant the Arcade genre had been.

**Tasselfoot** · 11-3-2006, 08:56 AM

exactly. balloon fever was added over a year ago. so it has been over a year since an arcade file was added. and while i did receive another arcade file... it was MUCH worse.

i have 3 choices for sotw next week... all 3 will almost certainly get into the game... just a matter of in which order. all are dance, all are of difficulty so it won't be an easy AAA, but AAAable... are all of high quality.

**Snapps** · 11-3-2006, 09:51 AM

You guys should have more stuff that's simple like SquareBear's simfiles lol. Not a switch from easy to difficult.

I remember when those came out :[
