 | yeah, the drums could be a bit faster, couldn't they? it's just that i don't know if i should compromise the original
 melody for the sake of speed... might not hurt though.
 
 btw, i just recorded some Megaman 2, and some maniac
 mansion...

 more complexity within each bar?i dunno

 | Haha, awesome, I actually have a lot of suggestions but I would have to be sitting there listening to it w/ you to
 make them.
 
 OK one main thing, the best part of the contra melody is
 when the tune goes up after that bit, fuck its hard to
 describe, whell here -- it's a few seconds long, it happens
 at... :51, again at :57, 1:40, 1:47, 3:02, 3:08Thanks for
 bringing back the past man.
 That needs to be most pronounced, its the part where I go
 hell yeah when I listen to the theme, so make it louder, put
 a cool effect or reverb on it one time.  Blow it out.
 
 Thanks for reviving the past man

 | thanks you xanatos! 
 i've actually accented those parts... funny you should
 mention. i also bumped the bpm up to 180! it is now a much
 better remix, and a good jungle tune as well.
 
 RIGHT CLICK AND SAVE TARGET AS for CONTRA JUNGLE REMIX!

 | by the way, the intro is meant to be noisy.... so don't overreact when you hear it. some people seem to have been

 | Really nice :D 
 I dunno about the distortion it made the track sound a
 little messy in places, but not as though it was
 intentional.  I personally would like the track to be
 cleaner sounding with some clean effects placed on it, but
 that is just because I am a sucker for old game music :D

 | Yep I prefer the ninja gaiden mix. In any case you can't really go wrong with old game melodies and good drum beats.
 Some nice variation in there too, good work :D

 | It is a bit better, but now it sounds odd.  Like too much reverb or something, everything is too seperated...it is
 like hearing the track through someone elses headphone
 leakage.  There needs to be something in the fore of the
 track, ideally the melody. It gets better about 2:55 until
 the end of the track. :P
