I love Ice Cap Zone music.
Where to start… Maybe… At beggining… Mysterious wind, then first three tones from Tubelectric. And again. Then IceCap background… And here it starts. Those transitions and joinings between those melodies… Those two famous and grandious melodies joined in one… Everything in winter, over-average samples. Great. I am listening to that awesome, paradisaic, optimistic melodies… And then, second Tubelectric theme, which ruins atmosphere. Good. ;p
Rhythm is monotonous, bit annoying, in ungood samples, but OK.
(+) Awesomely joined melodies
(+) Melody samples
(-) Second Tubelectric theme
Although all minuses this is very good songm which is worth of download.

Guys, keep in mind that the higher the rating, the more likely it will be mistrusted. I’m listening to this as I’m writing this, and surely this isn’t a 9.5, tho it comes close. If you wanna be a good reviewer, don’t suck up to the author (that goes double for Danyel ;p). Even a 7 will make him create more things ;) Also, I wouldn’t advice reviewing if you don’t have both original songs for reference ;p
Crossing Tubelectric with an icy feeling has been done before. Some of you may remember “Winder Thunderland”, which was just parts of Tubelectric with new X-masy (is that a word?) samples. This remix falls under another category tho.
melody
The danger of mixing two songs together is that the whole will sound choatic if done wrong. This remix is only half choatic. It’s basicly Ice Cap Zone mixed with loose parts of Tubelectric (not the whole song, there’s parts missing). The intro may sound empty, but that’s a trait of big ice cold enviroments. As the song continues, you’ll hear Ice Cap (faintly), but you’ll mainly hear the Tubelectric part because it’s so loud. The Ice Cap part has been lengthened by repetition, but unfortunately, part of the original melody is lost. I would have liked to hear that song complete and put forward more, since the tracker intended it as the main component of this remix.
Samples
I can’t name the samples, but I can say they’ve been chosen well for Ice Cap. Tubelectric on the other hand is so-so.
JJ2 compatibility
What’s this you ask? Well, for your information, there are some modules that JJ2 can’t play, or can’t play correctly even tho they have the right extensions, due to its (old) music engine. This remix suffers from this. When you want to use it in JJ2 you’ll get a “Input past end of file” error, and JJ2 will shut down. I’ve seen other modules which cause the same type of error. Tip: If you want to make it JJ2 compatible, test it in JJ2 too and not only in ModPlug or a similar player.
Verdict
A pretty interesting remix to say the least. It’s not prefect, but pretty good. It’s too bad the Ice Cap part is so vague, too much into the background. But it’s still enjoyable for the Sonic/Jazz fans out there. Download recommended if you don’t mind a listen-only remix.

Very good done! But I don’t think it will be so usefull in the game, more in my Winamp (like Danyjel said). I should have given it some higher rating if it weren’t because that I won’t use it in the game!
(Unsupported rating removal edit. A proper review needs more than just saying “this file doesn’t work in JJ2” several times. ~Violet)[This review has been edited by Violet CLM]
