Love it Jeff! I think this could link to another part of a "saga" as another mood in it.
 
What a difference between this and the last track!

Very different Jeff.

A new more cinematic version of the incredible 'Heights of Zaphon' It is here under the name Zaphon Cinematic Mix 1. The other versions are all on this link too.

What I have done here is put cinematic tom grooves in and the drums are feeling it in half time now instead. Except the end where it reverts back to its normal groove. The story starts off steady and builds as you would climb a mountain and then the race to the top. A more cinematic mix.
 
Here is a link to the download of the higher res wave file for those interested. It sounds better than the SoundCloud stream that is for sure. Check it out. This will only be active for a week.

well, I think there might be 3 versions of this song now?  I'm not certain from the posts.  I'm listening to "The Heights of Zaphon - Remix with Jeff Evans Unmastered"
 
I really like this!  love the soundscape you've produced here, very dramatic.  it definitely has an 80's hint in it with that analog synth sound.
 
nice job

The latest version or the Cinematic Mix is the one I think. There are three variations to this piece that Tim originally composed.
 
The first one I did was the remix version with the live drums at the full tempo. The ambient version is drumless and meant to be of a more dreamy nature.  The cinematic version however is a sort of half time thing with the cinematic toms involved now which changes it again.
 
Tim has done some new and extra parts which I have download and I am keen to check out. They have the potential to add lots of interst here and there too.
 

That was the biggest and hardest thing I've seen since I looked in the mirror this morning? "Both" are impressive. I like the analog synth. It would have been better with vocals.
 
H-

Thanks for that. I have just changed to 'Zaphon Cinematic Mix  2'  This mix has got some nice extra refinements and bits added too.

Tim has just done some extra parts and these really add some weight and drama in places.
 
He has done vocal tracks and now some now extra vocal tracks too and they are all great. I have not really worked on them but they are next in line. Some timing up tidying and pitch things and I am sure they will come up great. I have just got the vocals low in the mix right now with some long reverb on them.
 
I am a little worried it is starting to sound too big. There is certainly not much room for anything else!  The Cinematic version is my fave right now.
 
This is the direct link to the higher res wave file. This mix below is even more up to date than the mix above on SoundCloud.

I love the big drums in this most recent mix Jeff! 
 
This has all been extremely educational for me in seeing all the different ways one can treat a mix and get different personalities from it. Jeff is a good engineer/mixer and can pull a lot of rabbits out of the hat. I'm hoping that maybe a few of the new tracks add to it a little.

Wow, just caught up on the remixes...these are so cool! Jeff, you are quite a talent and you've made Tim's song come to life.
 
Very enjoyable gentlemen!

Why people climb mountains like that, I'll never understand...
 
What's in it? "I did it?" Or perhaps "I died trying?" I just don't get it. I would find a way through a pass...
 
I know there are people who live for that shiz. I'm just not one of them. 
 
I would take your lead synth? And double the speed, at least in portions. But it's only at a neg 90? So "as you were."
