Arranging the music of one song...

With a paradoxical mix title comes one of those talented Dans, in this case Baranowsky, with a sonic juggernaut of a Jurassic Park SNES mix that's got slick beats, chunky guitar chords, screaming lead guitar courtesy of Ryan Probst, and all manner of bleeps, bloops, and assorted synth fx to fashion up things real horror-show (kudos to those catching the recent non-sequitir Burgess references). This is a more groove-based track to begin with, so the arrangement isn't the focus here, though there's a substantive deal of reworking and tons of additive stuff happening. Nice breakbeat work circa 2'10". In general, this is a piece that is consistently impressive and fun to listen to, but not very narrative or containing a lot of direction - it essentially establishes a motif and from there on out it's a question of sonic variation and splicing. There's certainly a place for this style of ReMixing, and tracks which are more BGM to begin with sometimes almost dictate it, plus Dan B.'s great at it, so don't mistake that analysis for criticism. Some of the chopped, gated synths right out of the gate, panned left, are quite the shit, and the piece overall has the feel of a powerful posse of dinosaur hunters or what not coming to kick some velociraptor posterior. I don't think it works the same way if you envision any of them as Sam Neill, though. A cool, funky break from the ordinary that's just da right length and uses its tricks to the benefit of the music and not just as gimmicks. Yummy tunes from Danny Nowshky.

Discussion

I really like this track, great beat, great synth and guitar, but
for some reason I feel as though there is something missing, I
can almost place it and then the track is over. I don't know if
it's too quick, or if something IS TRULY lacking but what I do
know is this, it's definitely got the feel of JP. I guess I would
just like to hear more with this as what I have already heard is
epic. I would give this an 8 out of 10 for sure and no lower.

I like the dark beats going on here; they give it a very primal
feel, especially with the guitar parts later on. I keep expecting
it to turn into a power rock ballad, but it focuses a lot more on
atmosphere and soundscape than melody. Which makes sense to me in
some weird cosmic sort of way. I mean an anthem originating from
the subject of dinosaurs would focus more on atmosphere/where
you're at as opposed to the melody/what's happening, least you'd
get eaten.

Anyway, this is something different and worth a listen. Just
don't go into it expecting wailing guitars and tons of energy.

Catchy groove to start out here. Production feels a bit muffled
prior to the guitars at :53, but nothing too bad. Things fill out
nicely with the strings at 1:08. I would've liked to hear some
more energy still, especially in the drums here. I'm liking the
trade-off of synths and guitars here; synths being used for
accents and filling out sections and occasionally taking the
lead. Things still somehow feel a bit empty when it kicks back in
towards the end, and the strings don't come off realistic by any
means, but it's still an enjoyable listen.

Great rhythm on the left-side synth, it immediately caught my
attention. The lead melody is catchy too, and the chunky rhythm
guitars that come in have power but leave plenty of space for the
track to breathe.

The beats are nice and the piece has a funky and
effortless-sounding cool to it. The breakdown with the pan flute
or whitever was great, and then back to the rock.

The production seems a little muddy in a few spots, maybe a bit
heavy on the low-mids, but it's still clear enough to hear the
different parts, and the song is both varied and groovin'. A
really nice collab, good work guys.

I was really impressed by this ReMix, it retains the same spirit
and overall mood of the orignal work, but with more kick with the
addition of the electric guitar(s). It really felt as if it could
have been used as BGM if Jurassic Park had been released as a
game by todays standards.

Side note: The peices "Into the deep" and "Before time" that just
been submited, seem to have a similar guitar style and go well
hand in hand on my playlist together. Though "Into the deep" is
the better of the two. They make a nice combo.
