The Music Thread Redux

DonutArnold · General **Joined**: 18 Jan 2005 **Location**: Finland

Since last the incident with our previous music composer made me to give up using his work in this project, I had to remove the previous music topic. However, we also have good news: Joshy is our new music artist and he'll make some über awesome remakes/remixes from the original soundtrack. He'll post the songs he's made as soon as he's finalized them. Stay tuned! #Tongue

Current playlist:
Submersible Probe [5:22]
Lurid Waters [2:28]
Turmoil [2:03]
Dark Depths [3:14]
Sonar Parallax [5:34]

You can't upload them at ModDB at the moment because I haven't created the TFTD Redux Editing Group yet. Anyway, I'll upload those by myself soon...

Dark Depths has too beligerent for what it should be. Seems like an army goes to kill aliens, not a unit haunted by the aliens.
Submersible Probe makes for a great scouting music. Although it is too repetative, especially as it feels like song repeats 3 times. Input a few random cries in the spaces.
Lurid Waters is a great remake of an original song. Sounds haunting and has the requiered pressure. The high pitched sounds block the lower ones - something that should be fixed.
Turmoil seems to be the best of them all. Mostly because it is that close to the original. But changes make it even better than the original.

I gotta say they all could use more excitement/anxiety and maybe also haunting mood as some feel a bit too happy or otherwise repetitive.

Turmoil... not good...far tooo midish as in simple with the effects, needs alot more to it.

Dark Depths, feels like dracula's coming in an annoying way...

Lurid Waters... sorta dramaticly slow track with haunt mood, okish but personally its tad slow.

Submersible Probe i like best but it takes a bit too long to develop initially and the windows popup or whatever you would call it effect annoys me.

I like most of the songs, here's my comment:
Turmoil-I like it, suitable for the game. Smile

Lurid Waters-Its also very nice Smile

Dark Depths-like what ApolloTD said, feels like dracula's coming in an annoying way... but still great work.
Submerisible Probe-Finally, a song suitable for humans and not creepy.... Nice.

Keep up the good work Joshy and beware of the spider!

Because they are based on the original songs from the base game.

I liked the last one. It is getting closer to that part where it sounds like an X-com song, but is still fitting enough.

My old songs are dumb. >.< Delete them. I can do remakes another time possibly.

It still sounds like midi.. you gotta scrap the midi.

TFTD music wasn't really that good imo.

Submersible Probe was spot on, but everything else just sounds.. bleh with the midi.

No! Old songs can be reused in one way or another. Never get rid of things that can be of use!

I'm sort of agreeing with Gufu today...

They aren't 100% shit.They are pretty good IMO.

Just to let you know, Sonar Parallax will have a huge facelift, so beware! #Tongue

Elerium-155 · Commander **Joined**: 07 Mar 2005

Just remember, don't fix what's not broken with Sub Probe**..

~Donut: Yeah, I forgot the damn name of the newest song so I accidentally wrote Sub Probe. The correct name is Sonar Parallax.

Just tuning it up so it won't sound so "boring". Smile

DonutArnold · General **Joined**: 18 Jan 2005 **Location**: Finland

Sonar Parallax is finished and it'll be uploaded soon... #Tongue

And Sub Probe has been remastered (nothing very special)...

DonutArnold · General **Joined**: 18 Jan 2005 **Location**: Finland

Sonar Parallax is finally uploaded at moddb. Click the link to listen to it: Sonar Parallax [5:34]

Bump. No comments? Sad

Sonar Parallax has a good intro, and gets better after that.
The rest are good too, but right now they don't really strike me as great. Obviously, It'll take me a few more times listening through before they really grow on me.
