Ok, so what are you guys doing next? Terra's theme or Corridors of Time?

Anyway, awesome mix. Just like your icecap mix, this breathes life into one of the most overmixed tracks in gaming history.

nice work

Ahhh damn guys. EPIC. You simply cannot be affected by the pure energy that drives this mix. At first I was maybe a bit alienated by the electronic, almost techno(ish) feel of the song but as it truly kicked in I was just completely blown away by the energy and vibe of it all. LOTS of stuff going on in there but it all adds up to one beautiful arrangement. Excellent.

Thanks!

Ok... I somehow doubt it, but would you happen to be NemisisTheory on Newgrounds? Because she made Bloody Tears: Castle of Tears on Newgrounds like.. 1-3 months ago, and this is the exact same song as the second version she made unless you did some mild changes. Even the running time is the same, however. Forgive me for my lack of trust, but I believe that that needs to be said.

Other than that, I love this song. I've been listening to it for a while before it became available here, so the initial 'wow' is gone, but it's still an amazing and rather emotional remix.

I have no idea what it is, but for some reason this mix is like a throwback mix for me, reminding me of the style of some old goodies posted on OCRemix way back when. It definitely maintains the energy throughout the 6 minutes (!), and man, I can't really say anything else besides that it's awesome. The techno-ish sounding elements surprised me, but also surprisingly fit, so that's all good and cool. Good stuff here.

Neat, I got this remix when it was a young lad in Newgrounds. I thought I might find it here eventually. Looks like there's a few changes, but I can't be too sure.

Anyway, loved the mix then and I love it now. Very high energy and damn I love it.

Hey!

I thought I'd respond to this post since it needs some clearing up. She's indeed part of the whole DigiE/Infinity Entertainment/Symphonic Storms (it's a long running--) 'thing' and we pretty much share our work on that NG page and here respectively. The thing is we only submit, what we think, is the best of our work since OCR deserves no less. So there's a lot more stuff on NG, and not that much on OCR (yet).

About the timeframe, there's no comparing the OCR qeue to the "press a button to submit" from NG, so the time it takes for it to pop in on OCR takes a while longer, if "YESsed". :)

Also it's great to see you guys like it. I know for a fact Sanjay (Genesis) loves to read reviews, and is easily excitable about feedback. ;)

I agree, I can't stop listening to this remix, it's really awesome. I was also a huge fan of breaking the ice but Ice Capped Zone was some of my favorite music from any Sonic so I'm definitely bias on that one. I would love to hear more remixes in the near future.
