Track Name: Babs Seed [Anorax Remix]

Remix Source: Babs Seed

I figured I might as well get this ball rolling by putting my own music up for this, even if said song is 2+ months old by this point.

 

While I personally do NOT think this song will be up to the BMS standard, it'd still be nice to get the BMS opinion on this track, production-wise.

A double-feature of under-recognized music is a great way to kick Brony Music Spotlight off, right?

Anorax treats us today with his take on "Babs Seed", a song that boomed with popularity shortly after its respective episode aired thanks to its absurdly catchy nature. Anorax's remix builds on that with his smooth, almost calming take on the piece. From beginning to end, the track focuses on warm synths to set a low-tempo mood throughout, aided by its basic, snare-absent percussion and the occasional piano bit that works well thanks to the track's initial organic feel, which is something that I feel a lot of EDM producers overlook.

Like the track posted earlier today, Anorax's production is a bit iffy in several parts of the track. Some of the more melodic synths end up buried under the vocals, which is a shame because if you can hear those synths clearly, it works in a fantastic way with the backing chord progression and the vocals. Vocals which, by the way, are unfortunately riddled with sound effects from the show that come dangerously close to breaking the mood of the remix (though I can't knock him a whole lot for that, a clean a cappella rip is pretty much impossible to get, and getting singers for a re-do of the vocal tracks would be just as difficult).

Those issues are definitely not enough to warrant rejection considering the extremely impressive compositional qualities of the piece, and as a fellow member OC ReMix and a frequent dancer on ReMixing With the Stars, I expect we'll be hearing some vastly improved music from Anorax in the future. For now, tap your fingers to this track.
