Vangelis - Love Theme From Blade Runner (Michael Feihstel After Work Remix)

Vangelis - Love Theme From Blade Runner (Michael Feihstel After Work Remix)


Here is my latest Production. No matter if you know the original or not - it's worth the download. In my opinion The Love Theme From Blade Runner is one of the most incredible melodies ever.
The Title says it all...Listen to it after a hard working day ...or maybe now!?

All kinds of comments are welcome!

Yeah, This soundtrack peace is amazing,

Remix is cool, not much to comment on really, i would personally chop it right down to maybe 5 mins, a huge buildup here which kind of takes forever, especially with the bass drum and some hats playing for like 3 mins and no edits. Melody is really far back in the track, try bringing this out can barley make out the keys on my monitors.

Real nice idea, and good effort man

Peace

Wacks the original on, ahhhh this is the stuff.

OK, maybe the whole track is a little bit long but i always tend to take time for building the whole thing up...and a lot of people seem to like it when the breakdown comes SLOWLY nearer. But ok, maybe it's possible to cut the remix shorter without loosing essential parts.
However i don't agree with you about the 3 minutes without edits. It takes ca. 2 minutes to build up the beat and bass...and after 2 minutes the melody comes in. I think that's ok. But it's your opinion.
It was my intention to make the melody sounding far away...it makes the track sound deeper.
Well, thanks for your comment, mate!

i love this, very deep indeed.

very interesting percussion and the break is incredible!!

your best track yet, i think.


Posted by Djeebie on Feb-16-2004 20:31:

It's very deep indeed. But even after a few listens I can't say I like it. I don't know, I don't like the overall sound of the track. Production wise it's good though, so it's just a matter of personal taste

No Problem...as long as you keep listening to my tracks Maybe it'll grow on you...

hmm, i think you should look into the harmonies here.
at around 2:50 and then over again several times in the break and after, that plucky little synth you got sounds really off from the rest. i can't remember the original, but surely it's not like that. makes me cringe

about the rest, the beat is pretty cool, the overall tune sounds pretty empty.
and those bassy drums you have sound pretty messy when i turn up the volume. maybe you should eq them and rather make the bassline stand out alot more cause i can't really hear it

sorry if that sounds very negative, but imo this could turn out nice with alot more work


Posted by michif72 on Feb-16-2004 21:07:

OK, Maybe it's just unfinished...i sometimes tend to show tracks as soon as possible...expect an updated version

But the melody in this remix was in the original like it is in this remix...I don't want to argue but i took it off the midi file and i'm really sure that it is like that.


Posted by Haak on Feb-16-2004 21:33:

ok, i just listened to the original, and there are no bad harmonies there. if the midi for that synth you used is correct, then you must have used a synth that's offset somehow. does it really sound harmonic to you? i'm not musically trained, but i think maybe you should read up a little bit on harmonies


Posted by Design on Feb-16-2004 21:47:

Hey,
very nice feel to the song, I like the atmosphere of it. It could be used in a movie. The quality of your production is very good. I would make the intro shorter.
Keep it up!
Cheers

None of your links ever work for me, can you think of any reason why that would be?


Posted by 8Wonders on Feb-16-2004 22:26:

I'm with Haak 100%, that synth in question is definitely out of harmony and if you (and the listeners) cannot tell, then you've got some reading to do, but ultimately if even that fails then all is lost. The drums are distorted (turn up the volume and you'll notice a clip). Putting loads of reverb on drums = big no no, and even if you do reverb it, EQ out the lows, it just fills the track with unecessary mud. The drum/bass? you've got at the 1 min mark also just muddies the entire track, but since you say it's a work in progress then I'll presume that mastering is not final. I feel like there's quite a bit of work to be done in terms of making the track more interesting, it sounds very empty, either fill it up with more percussion and/or synth work.

this is the worst melody I ever heard.

I would have to unfortunately agree with this fella. The track is mostly well produced (I could tell something wasn't right, glad there were a couple people to bring to your attention what they believe to be some issues that could use your attention).

But overall, just not my cup of tea. Don't really know, just doesn't hit me like a typical Vangelis track does. Keep at it though, I do enjoy listening to your tracks mate =)

The first thing that got me was the drums jumping left and right. At first I thought it was cool, but the longer it goes the less I am sure. It is definitly different.

There is definitly some wrong notes in there. Not the main melody but in that sort of atmospheric synth going in the background. It is the one that really starts to get going before the 3 min mark. The clashes I really notice are at around 3:20 and 5:25 (if you can't tell that this sounds bad... I don't know, but I am worried), 5:50, 7:55, 8:20 It seems like it is in a different key than the sax. If you listen to those trouble spots closly and can't hear that something is off, I can only assume that you are tone deaf. MIDI's are not always perfect, just try to fix it and move on.

I did not notice the problems others said about high voluimes because it is 1:30 in the morning here and I can't crank it.

I really hate saxes, what can I say


Posted by jcosgrove on Feb-17-2004 07:22:

i reckon this sounds great, but like the others say there is problems especially at the 3:20 mark...really love them sax's though they are awesome...you should work a lot on this Michael and i'm sure you can make it work, still lacks a little something for me too


Posted by michif72 on Feb-17-2004 11:41:

Well, the melody is taken from the midi as it was...But after a few listens i noticed that it doesn't sound like it should.
There's no reverb on the main drums. Yes, there is a 2/4 Pan Sweep on one of the hats, but not on the bassline....and sorry i didn't hear any problems with it....But i could imagine that this depends on the sound system you play the track on. Cause this effect can increase and decrease with the amount of Stereo or Surround Effect you use on it.

Well, forget about the remix...I'm not satisfied with it anymore. Expect better things to come

Greets,
Michi

Don't worry mate Both your dub and vocal remix of Linkin' Park's Numb are tunes IMO and a 'fixed' version of Evanescence's My Immortal would make it my favourite remix of Evanescence tracks
