OverClocked ReMix...

Chrono Trigger 'Revival Day Impoetus'

This track kicks ass. I demand that you love the hell out of it, no "if's" "and's" or "but's" about it!!! DJP lays down a really cool percussion track that goes great with the funky bassline. This is a classic ReMix on the site and many people hold it in high regard... for good reason! Great ReMix!

This is an unusual (and very cool) interpretation of The Day the World Revived, which was originally done with harps. First a butt-whoopin' percussion beat comes in, then the strings which carry much of the original melody, and then comes the sweet bassline and something that sounds like a honkey-tonk piano. Cool. Only criticism I could make is that I would have liked to hear one section where the ever-present drum beat dropped away so the bassline and strings took the forefront of the mix momentarily. Still, very good mix.

Pretty good ReMix, one of my favorites on the site so far. I like the soft streaming towards the beginning and end backed up by the deep beat. It was a good choice to kind of let the song taper at the end, then just sort of fade off after the beat stopped with that slight echo. Very cool.

This is the song that got me started to listening to this site's remixes. It sounded so epic, hearing my first actually GOOD video game remix, and from CHRONO TRIGGER. This song includes massively hypnotizing beats and techno-ey strings with a familiar melody (that had me guessing what part of chrono trigger it was).

Can't really describe it except epic....for me anyways.

Now, I don't usually use slang like this, but I feel it is an appropriate time to say, "Phat Beat!" I don't know, something about how the beat is done just makes me go "Oooohhhh"
I love it.

I just want to point out that this IS my favorite OC song. It has been since first I heard it.

Very kickin, awesome beat, sweet drums, pure brilliance from djp. Possibly the best Square mix ever.

I cant belive how few reviews this has gotten.... :P

Very good, music from my favorite game of all time. The only problem with it was that I found it too short, it made me hunger for more. I'm afraid that I can't say that this is my favorite remix (7YearsBroken is currently my favorite), but I still would give it at least an 8.5 out of 10. You had some very nice effects in there, very well spaced breaks, and it was so well done that I actually had trouble tying it to the original game. You had a very good feel of the whole Chrono Trigger mood, and I felt that more than one song was actually put in there, even though it was based upon only one. The pace was perfect, and combined with the instrumentation and short breaks, this remix was great. I think that I'll give it a final score of 9 out of 10. I just missed hearing you sing after your Xenogears mix.

WHAT THE F---

Why haven't I reviewed this song yet?! Well then, here it is:

This was the first OverClocked Remix I ever heard. I downloaded it entirely on accident while searching on WinMX for some Chrono Trigger music. Sure enough, checking the ID3 gave way to the origin of it and the rest is history.

This song is the H4RDC0R3 R0X0R. If you don't like it, there's something wrong with you. Very melodic and very rhythmic, it all just blends really well... There's just some mysterious fullness that DJP has in all of his remixes and this one's no exception. Absolutely great.
