That's because it's called Finished Symphony.
Don't think Beatport would have much Schubert. :D |

I don't think i like much any of Deadmau5' tracks.. in fact when Zabiela started playing a lot of them, it was the moment i started disliking his sets who used to be the most ing awesome things ever.. Anyway, regardless of his music, I really like this guy's attitude, often taking the piss instead of taking things too seriously (imagine yourself making music then coming here and everybody saying it's vomit.. it's hard not to be a little bit defensive here and there, isn't it?).
This guy is a much better forum member than Dave "omg ur so negative" Dresden, Steve "i am the ing man" Angello & co.  Just try making music that doesn't sound so dull for a change. :p |

Finished Symphony is a remix of a the song "Symphony", which was also created by Hybrid a few years prior to Wide Angle
The song was used in the game SSX Tricky and was included in the game's soundtrack.
and I've only heard of
Hybrid - Unfinished Symphony (Unreleased Orchestral Mix) |

The original version I heard way back in my n00b days blew me away. I fell in love with it the instant I heard it. I loved the synth that sounded like a violin, and the music that went with it.
This is nothing compared to the original. HOwever, I don't have a problem with new producers in the scene mixing old goergeous classics like these, as it tends to resurface them in the scene. It makes the goergeous old classics more available and more accessible to everyone, when it would normally be too hard just to go and buy them from somewhere on record etc. Even if that's not the case, atleast it raises awareness of the older classic tunes a lot of us heard. |

I don't see what everyone's problem is with remixing classics, as its not as if the original tune doesnt exist any more after its been remixed. Just don't buy the remix if you don't like it.
Deadmau5 has just made his own take on the track, and I dont know why everyone is complaining, as it sounds nothing like the original, its hardly a sean tyas job is it? |

Ok, so I don't listen to all that much trance these days, I'm not up on who's spinning what or anything, but I still catch new tracks here and again. I had heard slander about deadmau5 over at the cor, so naturally upon seeing this thread and all the hateful remarks, I wondered if truly they could be justified? So I headed over to youtube to check out some of deadmau5's tracks and then eventually check out the remix. So, some thoughts before I listen to the controversial remix.
Listening to Faxing Berlin now, this seemed to be the track recieving the most universal praise in this thread so it seemed like a good starting point. About 3 minutes in, I started fast forwarding in 30 second intervals to see if anything interesting happened. About 2/3 of the way through it does get pretty sweet, and although the track up to that point was boring me, it did work as a nice long buildup. Still very boring to me though, certainly nothing special.
Next, Not exactly. One minute in and i'm fast forwarding to two minutes, nothing was happening at all. 1/3 of the way in we get the same offbeat-with-a-slight-delay synth sound that was in Faxing Berlin. Gonna assume thats what people are talking about when they refer to the 'deadmau5' sound? Next breakdown is nice, would definitely work in a club setting. However, right out of the breakdown it goes right back to a very boring melody with that same offbeat synth. Bored again, fast forwarding. So the second half of the song (correct me if I'm wrong) was exactly the same as the first half, but with a soft additional perc line and the 'melody' layered an additional octave up.
Alrighty, getting the picture, on to the remix. Simple percs, but not bad. And there's that offbeat synth again. Breakdown came and went, didn't do anything for me. Wasn't really a breakdown actually, the percs just were muted for 20 seconds, then came back in exactly like they were before. Alrighty, secondary melody coming in, almost the exact same as the first, with the same synth, an octave higher and a bit wetter. (As an aside, I have a remix on my old hard drive of Nalin & Kane - Beachball by someone I can't remember who uses essentially that exact same bassline pattern and offbeat synth. Exactly the same one. These songs all sound like you tracked down the presets used for that track and used them exclusively) Ooh another breakdown. There are some strings, and some other stuff fiddling around, nothing that grabs my ear at all, in fact its kind of muted, seems like i'm waiting for someth....oh there's the offbeat synth again. Wait. waitwatiwatiwatiwatilajrehltuhdfk. Hold on a second, this is a remix of Finished Symphony? We thinking of the same Finished Symphony here? I'm talking about the one that Hybrid did, the absolute masterpiece. Just to be clear, i'm talking about about the song called finished symphony that the electronic group Hybrid did a while back. I honestly see absolutely no resembelance.
I see why people are so mad now. This bears absolutely no resembelance to the original whatsoingever. I agree, Hybrid comes to you and asks you to remix a song of theirs, well yeah you say yes! But here's where you and I differ, I think. I would say that, in that particular situation, the proper course of action would be to pour your heart and ing soul into that remix, knowing full well that you're given an opportunity to put your name alongside the masterpiece that is Finished Symphony. You slave day and night, trying to do it justice, but still making it your own. This has to be something not only that you are proud of, but that also can at least try to live up to the original in some respect.
And that is where you, 5ir, have absolutely failed. I'm talking Hindenburg levels of failure, the challenger space shuttle levels of failure, the recent movie adaptation of Transformers levels of failure. And at least those all had some cool ing explosions. You have nothing. This remix is ing terrible. I would think it was boring, uninspired, and terrible if it were an original song, but being as it is that it's a remix of Finished Symphony, it simply becomes an atrocity. You have done for Finished Symphony what McDonalds did for hamburgers, what Budweiser did for beer, and what Michael Bay has done for movies. You made it easily accessable to the general public, and for that I congratulate you. However, you also completely stripped all of the art, the magesty, and the finesse out of it, turning it into something that anyone who actually knows or cares about dance music should absolutely despise. You are a scourge in the world of music, and if these songs are what pass for popular these days, well then I guess I really haven't been missing much the last few years.
In summary (cor version/tl;dr): this track is an absolute atrocity, for a number of reasons, and I hope you die. |
