But this one was truly amazing because of how you basically recapped the whole 2008-2009 season for kobe. Awsome overall, and what is the very first song used in your credits it just says : Hanz zimmer im pretty sure. Thanks!

Thanks man I appreciate your words. That's great you're the same type of style. I'll check out your stuff, and check on ya from time to time. Glad you enjoy my stuff.

The intro song? or the credits song?

BTW sorry guys, I did infact put in on private, but I made it public again.. TEMPORARILY. I'm going to private again sometime soon. You can always DL it, though.

Oh ok. It's from the Armageddon Score - Prologue

Composer: Trevor Rabin. I actually made a mistake and put the wrong composer in the credits, and didn't realize it in time. Hanz Zimmer is not used in the video, it's Trevor Rabin. Who composes unbelievable themes/music

Well sorry for the late review, but better late the never right? It was a very good mix, you can read below for what I really liked. As for as improvements go I thought the last song/portion of the mix was bad. It didn't match the mood or feel of the rest of the mix. The editing was off tempo a little in that part as well. It's not a huge deal, but I did feel it held it down a little. But overall great job man.

JediChris embarks on another great mix journey with his latest installment of "Road to Glory", and it does not disappoint. This mix equally matches the amazement of part 1, but also stands up as a great mix. From clip selection, to song choice and audio editing, this mix excels at it all. With mixmaking developing so quickly over the past few years, many have forgotten the subtleties that make a mix great. It's not about special effects, clips, audio, or story; what makes a mix truly great is the balanced combination of everything.

Chris starts off with a powerful introduction that captures the moments of the lakers past through voice over and commentary. It sets up the tone of the mix, this overwhelming feeling of retribution or pressure to succeed. Then that beginning is contrasted with the Bynum injury, which complexes the entire story. There is this flashback to last years injury and eventual defeat in the finals. So at that point you wonder, how do they respond this year? Well, Chris shows how Kobe responds with 61 points vs the Knicks. As well as the back to back wins in Boston and Cleveland. While I feel the ending of the mix doesn't accurately reflect the tone of the beginning of the mix, it is an effective ending. This is the Laker's journey to the post season, and much to the tone of Hollywood, it has had its share of plot twists.

Road to Glory just shows what dedication can result in. Very well perfected and balanced mixes. The lone problem is we only get to see JediChris mix 2-3 times a year. I want triple that.
