This sounds like the sort of stuff that would get on OverClocked ReMix. And, as hard as it may be to believe, I don’t mean that in a good way.
Introduction:
Completely rearranged the Bonus Stage theme from Jazz Jackrabbit, adding echoes with repeatitious and progressively recognizable melodies, and that’s what you get from this.
Song Analysis:
I dunno. I agree with what Labby said, for the most part. Repeatitive. It also takes too long to get to where it needs to go, if you ask me. The arrangement is pretty generic, even if it’s only vaugely recognizable.
Sample Analysis:
The samples used work for what they were used for. It’s a nice, little, quiet song. Nothing bombastic, nothing overpowering. Echoing, yes. But it doesn’t sound bad.
Final Analysis:
Eh. Not a bad song. But nothing special. I give it a 10.0!!! . . .no, of course not. =P 6.2 for this one. And a download recommendation. Makes good background music.

While I don’t really have the time (or the will) to do a full review right now, I will give you some feedback.
I liked this remix very much, and think you should do more. I find it to be a little repetitive, and you should try to add in some new parts of the song here and there just to make it more interesting, but overall, this is one of the better remixes out there and it gets a download reccomendation from me (Wow, that whole paragraph was only two sentences).
It is 2MB, Danyjel. The remix is good and I recommend it to download, tho’ if you don’t like midi-sounding remixes, consider choosing ElectroPiZZa’s remix from “A Rather Tasteless Sequel”.
Correction: Robert Allen wrote the JJ1 music, Alexander Brandon did that only for the sequels. Just so you know.
And the size limit is indeed 2 MB, Danyjel. It was lowered quite a few years ago to cut down our bandwidth usage.

Thankyou JelZe for giving me that information. I knew for sure that Alexander Brandon made the music for the sequel, but it seems that a lot of websites are misleading and say different things regarding who actually composed the JJ1 music. I wish Brandon had a website that I know of. He could broaden his fame even further. :p
I didn’t sample any bits of the original song. This song was made entirely from scratch, but I did try to emulate the original song’s instruments. The only thing I DID sample was my voice, and I synthesized it to make the low humming noises and medieval trumpet chorus sounds.
I’d submit the entire song to stop people from calling it repeditive if I could, but it’s too large.
As for the volume, it’s a little quiet yes, but if I made it any louder, the instruments would distort. I’m still learning (only been doing this for a year).
