My reworkings of Eden, A Coeur Fendre, and Limelight

[ImRawdg]

Well, it's been quite a while since I did a reworking of an Alizée song, but I had wanted to wait for the new album...and the release took a little longer than I had expected.

My mindset is that this track was created more in response to the album and what I feel are its shortcomings, mainly percussion and drive of the songs. And I'm no record producer, but I did the best I could to emphasize the underlying greatness in some of these songs that was unfortunately masked by the percussion and the "values" of electronica. I realize I may not agree with some of you on my opinions on this album. But the compositions themselves are generally great!

Anyway, this is one of my usual "mashups," containing a layout similar to my TDM/PLP file. It starts with Eden, followed by ACF, then I do a little section of Limelight which is the bridge to connect to a reprise of Eden at the end. Listen to the whole thing before you comment on the layout :p And, as always, it's instrumental, and, as always, it's quite long. I highly recommend the A Coeur Fendre section, I feel it turned out the best.

I'm interested to hear what Lefty has to say from a technical standpoint about this one.

And with that, friends, I present to you, my version of "Eden, Eden", "A Coeur Fendre", and "Limelight".

Hope ImRawdg is down with this....but to make it easier on people here is the song he did:

That's very helpful, I guess I never really looked into a way to post it like that. Thanks :)

Bavo, magnifique like always man!

You did it again maestro lol! WOW! I love the way you added the percussion in Eden Eden. It just flows in very smoothly and in a very harmonious way. Great job indeed in ACF, I mean the whole remix piece itself was absolutely wonderful. The correct beat, the instruments, the arrangements, the transition to one song to the next ESPECIALLY from Limelight being deep and hard and cleverly bringing it down and introducing back Eden Eden. Man Dude you know I'm a great fan of your work, and I can not wait to see what your future as a muscian will be. Hope this piece gets shared in the AAm Facebook or why not share it with Alizee's Facebook :). Once again great job and like always looking forward to your future works, Thank You for sharing it! :)

Rawdg, you have a talent. Well done, you should definitely send these to Alizée.

[sumi1]

That's excellent ImRawdg!!! Going straight to my Walkman :)

That's excellent ImRawdg!!! Going straight to my Walkman :)

I can top that, they're already synced to my cylinder.

[VVVACCPLPNLY]

I only discovered your compositions after selling my computer. So I have never heard them. Is there any chance you have a youtube with these uploaded? I would love to hear them!

[babyblue558]

Ahh I love this soo much! Eden, Eden and ACF are my two favourite songs on the album and you really do bring out everything that's great about them. Not such a big fan of Limelight (the original) but I've always liked the melody and your instrumental remix means I can listen to it without the distraction of the slightly bizarre lyrics :p also, I'm loving the rock sonorities that creep in throughout the Limelight section :D :D
keep up the amazing work! :cool:

[rj.bagby]

Bravo! excellent work

[lefty12357]

Yes ! Excellent indeed ! :) Another ImRawdg classic !

I really like the transitions between each song - they are creative and well thought out.
All the instruments sound good and you did a great job playing them. Very nice mix, too. All in all, an excellent piece of work, imho.

[CFHollister]

Very nice indeed! :cool: I especially like what you've done with Limelight.

(Doesn't keep me from loving the originals still, esp. Eden Eden, j'adore beaucoup cette chanson :p)

[AlizéeInspired]

Very nice :cool:

Eden Eden parts were, ofcourse, beautiful just like the original one. A Coeur Fendre section was really good. And the heavier, rockin' out part that you did with the Limelight section was sweet.

[Rictor]

Your reworking of "Eden, Eden" just gave me an idea - if I ever find an Alizèe type of woman and end up marrying her, I would want this version of "Eden, Eden" to be our wedding song. :)

But then again, I would probably use the original version just because it has Lily singing in it. Who knows?

[Toc De Mac]

Amazing from beginning to end (and especially the beginning and end) ! :)

Eden Eden is quite possibly the most touching song on the album, so to have it both open and close your composition was very fitting. Your personal touches blended perfectly in with the music. :o

Merci mille fois.

[Fall]

Eden, Eden is wonderful! You're really talented ImRawdg! Too late right now to sync my Zune but I'll be doing that as soon as I get back home tomorrow! :D
Edit: I agree with Alex, I was about to post on her facebook to tell her about it, but you should definitely do the honors :)

[Roman]

Yay karaoke!

[Merci Alizée]

Your work is very good. I liked it very much.

You should definitely post it on her facebook. She will certainly notice it.

I would like to thank you this. :)

[ImRawdg]

Thank you guys, I really appreciate it! :)

I signed up for Facebook but I do not use it, but I will attempt to figure out how to post something to somebody else.


Yay karaoke!

Yeah, I know. If I had means of adding the actual vocals, I would love to.

[thekidEm]

This is amazing. I love it!! :cool:

You can just ask me or just google what you want to do on facebook and there will be something on how to do it....it will be quite simple;)

No prob, just making your music more accesable, i got your back don't worry man:D

[ImRawdg]

Okay, I posted it there, I think. If someone can confirm that I did it right :p

[woohoo]

Just finished listening and i must say that they are great. I love A Coeur Fendre its my favorite song from the album and you made a great remake.:)

[User22]

Okay, I posted it there, I think. If someone can confirm that I did it right :p

You did post it to Alizee's Facebook but you may also want to add Melle Alizee Bis which is her personal profile(not her music profile) and post it there also///

[Merci Alizée]

Okay, I posted it there, I think. If someone can confirm that I did it right :p

I would suggest you to post it on her personal profile (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1785772061). She is more active there.

[Lucian_RO]

Nice job ! I liked them all and I wish I knew something about audio editing.

[Toc De Mac]

Just listened to this again, and it is brilliant.
