OverClocked ReMix...

Final Fantasy 'Matoya's Hot With Destiny'

OK, if you don't get the reference in the title, then I'm revoking your gamer liscence. Now onto the mix... it's a shame Shael didn't sing about his groin, but this mix is great without anatomical references. My only complaints are that the melody gets old fast, and the little flute thingy is kinda overpowered by the other instruments (not to mention I don't like the delay on it at all). It's techno, it's fun, and it's a must-download (at least for FF fans :)).

Fun little techno piece indeed, and just after listening to the other Matoya OC Remix, you can really tell how you can take very different approaches to this piece. But as for this one, a very well done remix as well! :)

If there is one thing I can say about this piece, I like the approach that was taken. The various different effects blend well together and don't overbear each other. The only thing that I didn't really like was that some of the instruments in the melody would blend together making a blaring noise when combined, but this problem doesn't throw the melody off as far as the flow of it. This piece shows that the author isn't afraid to use so many effects in one song, and it's even more commendable that the result turned out this well :) It's well worth the download!

I love this mix, i cant believe i didnt review this before.

matoya is my favorite theme of all time, and this just makes me love it more.

I am going to submit a happy hardcore version of the matoya theme soon after i fix a lot of things in it. I am also doing an IMC mix which starts out with, in my opinion, matoyas theme at its finest. But it switches into the ff1 battle theme, and from there who knows where it will go.

I will submit other matoya mixes in the future as i make them as well.

Matoyas theme is so freaking awesome. I love this mix.

I really really love shaels work a lot. His mega man mix is top notch as is this.

There are issues in this which get to me, but nothing "bad". I love the instrument and percussion choices... except that 80's sounding tom in some spots. I think everyone should listen to this, and this needs more reviews.

Also, i spoke with shail about a month and a half ago to find he was unable to do any mixing, but then i seen a post of his a couple weeks ago, if that long ago, pretty much saying hes mixing again.

I really look forward o more of your work shael.

I am against fanboyism, but man, i cant help that shaels so freakin awesome. He did a funny song, which i think could always bring some fun to ocr. He does breakbeat. He did the mega man songs with clips from the show and i loved that show. That remix is the best breakbeat i have ever heard. Matoyas theme is my favorite theme. Man, its like shael is like out there to mix for me, lol.

keep it up.

Thank you very much, Mr. Lee. That's some serious high praise. :)

I've been doing some stuff on an old computer and I'm going to reformat my other, better computer and look at my soundcard physically tommorow to see if I can't get back to mixing on the machine I did all those songs on, except Music of My Groin. That was done in like, Goldwave on a 486 ^_^`

Shael, YOU ARE THE MAN!!! I never heard the original, but you know what, I don't wanna, because I know it can't be better than this ReMix!!! BRAVO Shael!!!!!!! :D

This remix was pretty good...I thought the background beat didn't fit very well with Matoya's theme at first, but the more I listened, the more I liked.

This was...alot of sounds dude. How many synths are there, 5? Felt they at some points didn´t fit, but there were some real good moments with some nice techno swirling around.
