Firsties!

I just thought this remix was excellent. Very creepy, catchy towards the end... It wasn't exhilirating or exciting but it definetely kept me interested, and the source tune was instantly recognizable and used well. 9/10. Good job! :)

Up until recently, I hated the whole Pokemon franchise. However, a friend of mine finally convinced me to play it, and I completely changed my mind!

I didn't really like anything off the soundtrack except for the source to this song (which was played in a ghost town or something, I think). The original track had such a heavily detuned, odd, avante garde feel to it that made it creepy and just plain badass in my opinion.

Anyway, I felt this mix did an awesome job of taking that creepiness to the next level. I love the industrial drums, and the distorted synth that comes in at 0:40 is awesome.

All in all, great job on taking the source to a whole new level while still maintaining the creepiness and feel of the original.

I remember when TO started doing pokémon remixes years ago, but never got any of them past the WIP stage. I still have his Ice Cavern remix, in fact.

I also remember when he asked if he could do this song for The MissingNo Tracks. It was already taken by someone else, though, and he seemed a little disappointed at that. I wish we could have worked something out, but, alas, it was not to be, I suppose.

But I am glad to see not only another pokemix on OCR, but also a pretty good one. I sort of wish I had said yes back then, but that's my loss, I suppose.

Congrats, TO. You've been trying to get a pokémon remix here for a few years now. I'm glad you got it.

I have to say, this took a couple tries and a look through the chiptune to recognize it as Lavender Town. I love it, now that I've recognized the thing.

Lavender Town! Sourcetune of death!
Anyway. You made it sound less horrible and added some pretty basic, but sweet chords. The last note in the intro section is totally atonal, but it's cool because it gives kind of a freaky mood, something the source is all about.
The bass is funky. But it feels like you're milking it a bit. It's basically the same bassline during the whole main part of the song.
The gating of the strings are nice and some of the ambient FX really sets the mood. But imho I think you could've been a bit more liberal about the arrangement, maybe added some of your own ideas instead of just building it all on top of the original.
This is not a bad remix, not by a long shot, but I can't help to think it could've been better.

Really not bad, I'm a great fan of Pokémon music and I'm happy that the people started to make remix of this games.....but I think that more can be done in future...

8.3/10

The name sounded really familiar, so I had to check my music folder to make sure I didn't somehow already have it. Turns out there's a Final Doom OCR called Clairvoyant ELEGY.

Yes, I wonder who made that.
