*Update* *Download intro below...feedback appreciated*
I made a little intro, It may be a bit noisy, im listening through earphones.
Theres helicopters,gunshots,sirens... old music i.e. Martika in the background.. so it gives the impression theres like a war going on but with music playing behind.. then music stops and you hear a gun being cocked and shot, then theres fans chanting Eminem...theres a cool feelin when the song starts then. Let me know what you think.

This is another ´´crazy´´ idea I came up with, I haven´t done a lot of work on it, but want to post the small parts I´ve done, just so see other people´s view. It´s an inventive idea, mixing The last of the mohicans / Celtic Bagpipe music with Like Toy Soldiers vocals from Eminem, it could work, if its in better hands, so if I fail in producing a good mix, it would be cool if someone could take this idea or, mix this song, with a completely different kind of music. Obviously it would be hard to make a dance version of Like Toy Soldiers, so I reckon mixing with this kind of music would be cool. I changed the music half way in and put some Dj scratches in, and when Eminem says ´´was never my object for someone to get killed´´ , I threw in some gay kind of heaven music lol, could sound okay with effort. I would appreciate any sort of feedback on this.

you can start by trying giving the whole thing a sense of rythm, here the music doesn´t flow with the vocals. Even though the bagpipe music does not have drums or percs that mark a distinctive beat it needs to be in time with the vox. I would find out the tempo first, and then maybe sample out the bagpipe music in parts...

You problem may be that you have that file in some kinda jacked up compression format

my browser never has trouble with downloading these attachments except this one. i keep getting a message saying that my player needs updates - then no updates available for this type of extension.

the Others section of the Test Pressings isnt always the most popular with listeners - so dont be discouraged if there isnt loads of feedback

Can we have some feedback, thanks juno... Its kind of experimental and hard to categorise, seems this is the place for it.

I really dont know what to write to be honest, I agree with what magic says there dont seem to be any real sense of rhythm here. Theres some nice ideas just problems with how its been put together.

why u say no sense of rithm... it's like a march... a crescendo.. is like a battle is going to start ..is in perfect tempo and it create the atmosphere..
ppl who has listened to it (pretty eminem fans) said that it is a wonderfull rmx.. pretty unusual but cool.
and think.... the original is pretty a march...it got military drums instead of pipes...
I LOVE IT
AX

PS: magic wrote about the first try(it was changed wit the intro at the top of the post) that was the original idea by manutdman ..then come the real project..that is awesome ...
