"Ending"

Gonna slow it down a bit for couples skate, now, with a drifting, ambient ballad from newcomer Iggy Koopa, off Kondo's SMW2 OST. Erik writes:
"This is a piece I wrote after about a month of listening to nothing but Sigur Rós and I believe it shows rather clearly. I was aiming for an ambient/dream pop sort of sound with this, but I'm fine with whatever it is now. The song is in 6/8 time rather than the original 4/4."
Introing with a simple, delicate piano, acoustic guitar eventually enters & takes the lead as distant, new age synth pads swirl to and fro in the background. Definitely has that icy, ethereal feel to it, so I think Iggy's influences certainly came through, as he says... McVaffe mixed the same source a looooong time ago, so it's also nice to see some more coverage after all these years. OA writes:
"Sorry if I am ruining expectations by not being harsh, but I love this mix. It's like a lot of the animal crossing music, where it's beautiful melody and harmony, but the synths aren't gentle enough to handle it properly. The change to 6/8 was an excellent call, and the sounds chosen were perfect. I didn't think the drums added much, but I also don't think they really detracted. Sortof a strange situation where they just add a pleasant backing texture, and i'm fine with that."
Vinnie adds:
"This is the way to use a decent-to-bad guitar sample. It's produced and sequenced well, and the fake quality is pretty masked. It barely matters that it's not a real guitar. I really liked how gentle and minimal this song is, and while it might not be everyone's cup of tea, it suits the original very well. The reverb settings are nigh perfect, the trails you get on everything are realistic and lush and fill out the empty space beautifully. Snare was the weakest point, but still not much of one - in a song like this, the percussion should stay out of the way."
The fellas said it well - it's not a complicated mix, but it executes a coherent vision effectively, and achieves a dreamlike flow that's expansive, relaxing, and actually kinda refreshing. Interesting, deliberate, and crystalline debut from Iggy Koopa!

Such a mellow mix; beautiful and faithful. Wondrous job, but I've already told you this when it came out.
now where are you anyways?

I love the piano and acoustic guitar combination work here, and the whole ReMix is simply beautiful and gorgeous. Very peaceful and appropriate to it's nature, which I loved. Everything sounded really good, and if anything came up that sounded a hair off, the arrangement masked it, which made it that much better. It sounds dreamy and gentle, perfect for a lullaby, especially how the ReMix itself seems to drift off to sleep which I thought was cool. Fantastic job.

This is just about all I could possibly ask for in a remix of this theme, which I hold very dear to my heart. It's very meaningful, elegant, and, for lack of more appropriate adjectives, fucking beautiful. You manage to squeeze the most out of those sampled instruments (though I'm not really loving the tone of the pad at times) and ultimately craft an arrangement that's so relaxing that you tend to ignore any potential flaws that could be found.
Not much more to be said here, this is one of the best Yoshi's Island arrangements around!

I disagree; personally, I find this very lullaby-ish. Peaceful, relaxing, perfect to zone out fall asleep to.
Actually, this is what I did as I started listening to it, and I wasn't even sleepy. But that's not a bad thing. It is a simple mix, but sometimes less is more.

It's got a real good dreamy feel to it, without being lullabyish.

Naturally, this also means that this isn't a remix that is going to grab your attention and hold it hostage for its full length, but since this isn't the purpose of the song at hand anyway, that's not a problem in any way, shape or form.
Beautiful, relaxing song. Nice work.

Fantastic choice, Iggy!! I've been campaigning for someone to remix the credits of Yoshis Island for years!! You have really done a great job. Although there will always be a space in my heart for someone to produce a rendition that more closely fits the timing of the original I think you have done an very peaceful, thought provoking rendition.

Iggy this is great, really peaceful, and so touching.
Also what a great way to make a comeback into the community. All grown up now and a remix posted to boot. 3

Man, I went and had a couple's massage today with my wife, and the music in the room was terrible - a super slow and lame rendition of Pachelbel's Canon. Then I get home and listen to this. Now here, this would have been SOOOO much better. Methinks next time I'll bring this on a CD along with a few other select remixes.

Beautiful and moving. One of my favorite mixes i've heard on the site in awhile, and considering the quality of the last few tracks, is pretty meaningful.

This one was good and simple. Reminded me that I still need to sit down and finish this game sometime.

Very sweet arrangement, Iggy - I could tell a lot of work went into it. It's got a real good dreamy feel to it, without being lullabyish. Love it.

Pretty good for a debut piece. This track is indeed very "fragile" sounding as Ella Guro put it, almost as though a reflection of hard earned peace that could break with the slightest pressure. At any rate, I enjoyed listening to it. Good job Iggy

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This mix isn't necessarily a style I'd be into normally, but I like how gentle/fragile it is. You can really see a lot of care and sensitivity taken to the emotional weight of the arrangement, which is impressive, especially given the quality of the samples.
WAY TO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! :)
