OCR00884 - Tekken 2 'Incantation'
Tekken 2 'Incantation'
Site speeds are kind of poopy right now, so I'll just put this up here for anyone else who wants to review it. UPDATE: This song is typical kick-ass djp work. Great percussive lines, with a knack for putting the right piece of percussion in the right place at the right time. I haven't heard the original, which is good, because if I had, I'd be bitching and moaning about how the chord progression was butchered as I usually do, but this is very pleasing to the ears as is, so if you are a collector and fan of the djp catalogue, do download this. Also use getright, as you'll have better luck actually finishing the file that way. DC

I have never reviewed anything EVER before. But this was so great I had to.
Certainly lots of stuff going on. And its all good stuff. Busy but a great kind of busy. I picture DJP spinning around in his chair- knobs and hands flying everywhere. I felt like claping when it was over. Like it was a performance. Now correct me if I'm wrong (I'm not BTW)- but being a SUPER MEGA HARDCORE ANIME MUSIC FAN (pry bigger than game music now) I'd have to point out and applaud your inspiration: Taku Iwasaki's Witch Hunter Robin. My favorite anime composer and one of my favorite soundtracks of all time. Mucho bravo on how tekken's music was blended with Iwasaki's style from WHR. Even the instrumentation was very similar. Impressive! (altough Iwasaki-san is ALL UP IN THEM KORGS ;) ) I was hoping it would end with a cello solo, but thats probably just me. I use cellos too much anyway. Great stuff.

Ah! Didn't catch that at first.
But your musical style has a lot of similar elements to Yuki's- I can see it now that I listen again. Good to hear you're into WHR as its one of the best things I've seen in awhile- Art, music, story. As for .hack, while i've been into the music- I find myself waiting for March '03 for the DVD release. I HAVE to have the dvds for something this big/great. 2 things: 1. get my mix? 2. seen ep21 of whr? dale

It really pisses me off that DJP's remixes are such neat stuff but that
I just can't ever really get into them. Lots of really neat stuff going on in this one, has DJP written all over it, including the characteristic superhighrange mastery, even if it is a little more reasonable this time (Yoshi's Island 2001 Elastic New Year anyone?). Overall it's some damn neat stuff though. Nice work.

Chalk up another one for the Pretz! (don't hurt me) An amazing mix of synths, some cool whispering (a la mp's Xenogears 'TransientSands~Dazil'). There are some very incredible synths, and some of them are so very DJP that it's hard not to recognize him right off. One of them even sounds like a sitar!
 The melody is done well, with some unrecognizeable string patch, with plenty of layers behind it. There are so many instruments, many of them quiet (like the groovin' piano starting @ 2:43). It's a great mix, and one that you should listen to at least once.

I just got one comment right now as I'm currently on a 28.8 and the remix isn't done downloading yet.
.hack//SIGN and Witch Hunter Robin own you :) Will review when I get home.

Yeah, great stuff.
I like your jazz and pop oriented pieces more, though. Oh.. and hah, if I'm not mistaken, the original had this really cool organ thing in it. I sorta missed that in the remix. And also, it featured some female Swedish whispering (!). I've been thinking a lot of making my own Tekken 2 remix. I would have remade the intro music. I always dug that piano break when they showed Nina Williams sitting in a bar. Or perhaps I would have made a medley, and try to catch that Tekken spirit. But this is lightyears from what I can accomplish. I love it. It sounds good, and it inspires. Long live OCR :)
