First off, let me begin by saying, immense improvement on the ending. Unlike Castle Funk, this remix doesn’t grind to a screeching halt at the end, it just gradually slows itself down.
You are much better at producing Funk music than rock, which seems immensly ironic. In fact this song feels so perfect, the only things I thinka re wrong with it are that’s it’s a bit too hard to tell it’s “Hell Freezes Over” at times, and sometime the samples feel a bit too loud for my liking.
Keep it up, Download reccomended
good job man, this remix is just great, realy this is the best funk music i heard including castle funk. the bit of the song in the beginnig plays softly with if i’m not mistaken a guitar and it sounds beutiful,after the soft beginning the song starts to play much like “hell freezes over” and this the best part of the music. the beutiful thing about this tune is that there are parts that seem not to apear in the original song but they combined in a very good style with the song (it starts in 1:50). for conclusion i want to say that this tune is worth the download so go and download it and listen to it becouse this tune is great. by the way, i hope that Fear Of Dark will continue make this tunes becouse they are great.
I probably suck, but I just don’t like it.
The lead samples are extremely high-pitched, it kills my ears, really. Lead also doesn’t fit into the rest of the tune. Funky beat is really nice, I like it, background is okay. Bass is okay in most parts. Thing I love about this are transitions; beat ends, long lead, bass changes. I also like the break patterns with that cool funky sound :). Time by time, it sounds pretty off key, and when there are parts when the tune sounds like nothing more than loudness…
Anyway, it’s really above-average mix and I do recommend download.

I really loved castle funk. This remix from the Hell Freezes Over music is quite similiar in terms of style and instrumentation, which is the first drawback. I had hoped it was a little darker (more like the original) and also something new, but at some points I thought it was just an altered castle funk version. It also took a while till I noticed the Hell Freezes Over melody.
I think this tune would fit well in some levels, but not those actually using the frozen hell tileset it was meant for. Still, quite funky again and it’s a good song to listen to. Not what I was hoping it would be, but worth the download.
Final Rating: 7.2, download recommendation

Introduction:
Now this is an extremely funky rendition of “Hell Freezes Over” which sounds as though it has bits of “Jazz Be [Darned]” thrown in for good measure. So let’s measure how good…or bad this is.
Song Analysis:
As far as I can tell, this sounds like what you’d get if you merged Jazz and Funk.(…no, I don’t mean “Junk”.) In fact, it reminds me quite heavily of “Awakening Road” from the “Rockman X Arranged” soundtrack.(Which was basically Rockman X music jazzified.) The song itself seems like it has bits and pieces of “Jazz Be [Darned]” thrown in just for kicks. Either that, or I need to listen to “Hell Freezes Over” more closely.
The arrangement is more or less recognizable, but I sincerely doubt it could sound any better than it does even if it relied more heavily on the original track for its notes and whatnot.
Sample Analysis:
There’s no dirty samples here whatsoever. Lots of awesome guitars of varying types(which I might swipe later [shifty eyes]) and some really nice drum samples as well. Everything sounds terrific together and not a single note sounds out of whack or out of tune.
Final Analysis:
All and all, it’s a damned fine track that any Jazz(or Jazz) lover would appreciate fully. There are so many good things I could be saying about this, but words fail me. Utterly. There is no reason not to give this piece full marks. At all. It fades in wonderfully, loops perfectly, and is absolutely great to listen to. I’m not entirely sure it would work as level music, but I can’t see why not. This is definately going on my MP3 player next time I shift things around.
Score: 9.0
“I Can’t Think of Any Reason Not to Give This a 10.0” Points: 1.0
Total Score: 10.0
Recommendation?:
Yea, verily. Download this and listen to it if you haven’t yet. You will totally not regret it.
Notice of Mention:
Congratulations on getting the very first 10 I’ve ever given out! The sad thing is now I’m going to expect this kind of quality from you with everything you make. XD

Well, I thought I’d never see the day…
Very nice job, good quality overall, nice, upbeat tune ti it, but like n00b said, it is a little hard to tell what it is at points.

It’s not too complex, has a good beat, and I would greatly recommend downloading.
Another cool funk by FearOfDark on Hell freezes over!
This is a good remix it is similar to CastleFunk which i also liked.It’s way better than the original song and i don’t know why i would give less than 10 with dl rec!
