This is a great song. This is one of those upbeat songs that I love to have playing while I drive somewhere. Good job.

I've been waiting for this to turn up on OCR since I first heard it on VGMix... it's fantastic, relentlessly intense even during its quieter moments.

Great, great, super great!
I really like the "2:40-3:30" crazy part.
Until now, this remix is so rich
(where/how do you find enough time
to do such an amount of work on a remix ???)
that each time I listen to it, I hear new things.

(please excuse my so poor english writing...)

You can all thank ME for telling to switch the game from DDR to IIDX!

DJ Amuro is simply DJ Taka from "V" ".59" "Abyss" "Leading Cyber" "Nemesis" (yes, he is DJ Setup as well) fame.

http://www.psn.ne.jp/~slayer/allmusi...aTakayuki.html has most the rest of his songs. For some reason that site doesn't even have an archive of the song "A" but it's by him, and tons of others would agree.

Now, the original author doesn't HAVE TO change to "Takayuki Ishikawa" ( http://sardius.fefea.org/reviews/konamix/interviews.htm ) since in the game he just uses that pen name Amuro for some reason. It would just be truely correct.

As for the song, I've had it for quite awhile now and already made a tiny review/comment (I think). I would have to agree about the car thing. I already put this on a car cd. It took me awhile to get used to from the original even though it shouldn't have.

Meh, I'm not going to use my words that I can barely make out when reviewing something not as good. Maybe the gripe I can give is I wish the piano was longer. I was also wondering what was with the "off-key" piano thing. I kept thinking "the whole THING is off-key? That can't be possible since a lot of it came from the original" but then I just listened to it now and noticed there might be a couple off key notes in the million other notes, near the beginning (not talking about the very beginning prelude of the piano stretch with the same pitch 16th notes or whatever they are).

So what's that voice saying at around :49?

I remember hearing this back when it was in its WIP stage. I didn't like it.

But this? Fucking awesome. The drums are fantastical, but the main thing that snares me is the synth work. The synths are all so incredibly diverse, yet they all fit together perfectly. Also, despite the length of the original, SGX managed to make this one strongly anti-repetitive. The LFO filtering and amplitude modulation = r0x. The thing at 1:42, the pad or strings or whatever, is awesome. Sample rate reduction phased upwards and then back down with that LFO effect... snazzy stuff. It's things like that that my production quality has been lacking lately. Truly an inspirational remix.

I didn't hear anything wrong with the piano. It strongly resembled the original, to me. Also, the synth SGX came up with at 2:50 is fucking perfect. It was different in the original; kinda gritty yet flat and smooth. In this, he's got the really stabby distorted brass sound for that melody, and it just works so well.

This is one of those remixes where you can listen to it and tell he spent an assload of time on it, and it really paid off. This makes me want to remix more Beatmania stuff. :(

This song kicks some serious A!

This is the Reason project file if any Reason users wanna take a look at it. It's pretty CPU intensive, so be careful :) I post all of my Remix .rns files on my website.

I have a guy working on a stepfile for a short-edit of this mix for use in DDR sim programs. I'll post back in here when its available or you can watch my site www.supergreenx.com.

Jesus, this piece is freaking amazing.

The incredible intensity and variation astounds me. It's like an adventure every time I listen to it.

The ridiculous piano at 3:10 made my jaw drop in front of the computer. It took about 15 seconds for me to pick up my jaw and start laughing at how it makes me feel like an insignificant plumber that something like this exists in the same world as I.

And the modulation at 3:37 smacked me in the @$$.

This mix proves the point that video game remixes can rival the complexity and creativity of the instrumental greats of the musical past.

I bow.

YAY FOR MORE SGX ON OCR!! I've had this song since he told me he finished it and put it up and I must say, I like it. I didn't really like the original version of this song. Actually, to be honest, the only reason I like the remix is mainly because of new melody SGX added in the beginning and the end. Kinda wish he would have made an original song based off of that melody, but it's still a SGX song and yes, it is amazing.
