Hah, I kept an eye on this one since I heard it in the demo medley. The usual ska melange that pretty much became LuIza's trademark makes another appearance. Very bluesy overall, though some of the more rocking parts ticked me off by their (intentional) dissonance, but this is more of a personal opinion.
Bass is very gritty and sounds great, guitars are very good, drums are punchy, but the bass is what does it for me in this mix. Great job altogether =P

I was half expecting to hear Steve Wilson come in somewhere in the song. Probably one of the best rock songs on this site.

I must admit I was worried since these are, honestly, my two favourite songs from the soundtrack.
Glad I was wrong :)
LuiZa rocks the house. I feel Alice in Chains and then it gets even more dirty and jumpin'.
Wonderfully performed and some very interesting touches makes a great remix.
Go LuiZa!


(sidenote: I came up with the title for my remix, but zircon stole it and gave it to LuiZa ;P)

Great tone throughout and a good arrangement, but some of the chugs 1/3 through weren't terribly tight, and some bass timing slips at the beginning of the ska section should have been caught. Things tightened up once the drums came in.
Solos are very nice, and the ska section with the organ was especially creative.
Nice ambiance, and mixing, and overall pretty sweet.

Awesome mix from one of my favorite guitar players, here in ocr & outside of the scene! I remeber hearing this as a very early wip, & it sounds even more awesome now, than it did then. (note: it was really awesome back then as well)

So, yeah, I like this mix, & I reccommend it to every one who likes the gritty, let's get into a bar fight with some drunk bokers, then get all cheeky with their chicks (the ska section would be this part), then face off with their leader. Who smells of, what can only be described as whiskey & urine.

Long story short, JTown Seal of just-friggin-download-it Excellence.

Damn.. I love this one.
2 of my favorite tracks in videogame history.
And you do such a good job with it.
Think you raised the standards for OCremix a bit with this one.

Very good job.

luiza is a one-woman army of dirty awesome axe-wielding skills. her track is as fun to listen to as it is impressive. i listened to her track the other day whilst picking at my own guit-fiddle, and i got shred-envy. :)

Absolutely loved everything about this track. It's gritty, it's dirty, it doesn't suffer from any of the schizofrenia that some of the other tracks in VotL do, and all while remaining true to the source. Can't ask for more.

Wow, those guitars are... chunky.

The great strength of this song is that it is far from a wall of sound. Nice range of tones, and periods of relative quiet that only give the guitar more oomph. As for the atmosphere, I felt like this is the sort of thing that Uematsu Nobou(sp?) was trying to capture both in the game and in Advent Children. (see Advent Children's "Black Water" for instance).
