arranged soundtracks that suck

Post by lilmanjs »

so give some games with good arcade music but when arranged they messed up. one game I can think of is Under Defeat. I have this for my DC and was playing it the other day and man is the arranged music horrible.

Apparently, there are some people that like DDPDOJ's arranged soundtrack, but I think it sucks. I couldn't find any reason why they changed it, anyway, it was good the way it was.

same here. but when I say the under defeat arranged music sucks, I'm talking about in the game itself, and not the arranged tracks that appear on the extended tracks album.

I don't like the arranged Batsugun tracks as much as the originals.

DOJ's arranged soundtrack is more like re-mix rather than arrange. putting stereo and wider sound, some tweaking here and there, but still the same one. well, i dunno, someone tell me difference between arrange and remix.
It is to us a sufficient body in which, fairies and it is packed and can group of play.

Ha good point. Different words for the same thing?

The way I see it, the Japanese use 'arrange' where I would use 'remix'.

There's a lot of 'arrange' music hidden at the back of shooter OSTs, and it's usually shit, or at least forgettable.

I say arranged music because most of the arranged music I have isn't really a remix. a remix adds new ideas to a song, but still keeps part of the song its remixing itself where as an arranged song is the same song but arranged as in like they take the song and play around with the song while not adding anything new. like you could take a jazz song and make a rock arrangement out of it.

On IBARA, I won't say that it sucks but the original soundtrack sounds greater than the KURO or the arrange PS2 version to me. They removed my favorite tunes when they re-arranged the game :cry:
