HO HO HO!
this is AWESOME! I've followed this mix on the WIP.
this is one of my fave ReMixes so far.
this mix actually got me interested in this kind o' music.

let's all shake Bisons hand!


the only "bad" thing about this piece is that he had to cut it down

Awesome.

I'm always a fan of tunes that break cliches, and that's pretty much exactly what E-Bison's done here. The entire intro with the clocks is refreshing, not to mention appropriate. The main (and some backup) synths are closer to horns than strings, which is a welcome variation. The bridges with the returning ticking of the clocks and the time-related quotes (and near-subliminal sample of Leene's Bell I missed the first time around) keep the mix interesting throughout, and the ending once again features the hypnotic clocks, signifying that history repeats itself, or something like that. I can't think of anything that E-Bison could have improved upon, so he gets an A in my book.

An excellent take on CT's opening theme,plus "Time Management" being its title was a sweet idea. Very nice job.

E-Bison really really rocks. I've had this song for like 5 months or so (actually I've had the non-ocr/non-cut down version) and it is amazing. I LOVE the use of the clocks. The time management samples are used really well also. I think this may be the most professional sounding mix I've heard coming out of OC. I'm a big fan of E-Bison, including his original work that I think people should check out at www.mp3.com/esb Fantastic stuff.

Now where is Suikostep?

E-Bison FINALLY gets his OCR badge.

For a long time, the regulars here at OCR knew that E-Bison was OCR's best kept secret. Let's hope he releases more quality stuff soon, and it gets posted even sooner.

Download this track: HIGHLY recommended.

Well.. I don't know. It's not anything revolutionary, the clock bit was genius, but everything ELSE was completely standard and not really anything that I would listen to twice.

If he had only taken the clock idea further and developed on it, rather than drowning it in fuzzy techno noise. Ah well.

If there were OC remix forums awards, I believe E-bison would thoroughly deserve the WIP one. Not only has he posted a number of fantastic mixes, but he consistently critiques and attentively helps others improve their remixes. When DJP calls E-bison a "newcomer" (as we know he always does with anyone's first mix) it is purely figurative.

As for 'Time Management': We all know that time is limited. But a day's work has to be accomplished in the same finite 24 hours we each have. Some of us do it. Most do some of it. Some others procrastinate. And some never get around to it.

And one of us, Mr. E-Bison, turns all the clocks back and makes us wonder how he ever got it done.

Love it... enough to drag me out of lurking just to say kudos! I've also got to say I'm enjoying how more and more mixers on this site are including lyrics in their music lately... (or maybe it's my imagination?) Ahhh, but at any rate I can tell I'll be listening to this one for awhile now. Beautiful beautiful. :D
