Very small, tight sounding mix. I prefer the down-tempo piano mix sessions that are incorporated here. The synth and early drum parts are just kinda amateur sounding..

Drumwork is nice though, just the synths, I can't say anything good about them. Acoustic stuff at the end brings it up to OCR standard tho.. Good stuff overall..

Diggi Dis is the bomb. I'd have to double check, but I think this is the first Two-Step mix on OCR. Maybe Joshua Morse or po! hit it earlier, but I don't think so.

I've been listening to this for months because I'm a sucker for Two-Step no doubt. I think people are really placing too much emphasis on sample quality. Some of the best songs and some of today's most popular songs (even if you don't like them, they're still popular) use samples that aren't 100% realistic. Sometimes we gotta just work with what we got and sometimes we pick something because we like the sound. So cut the kid some slack because this fits perfectly with the genre. If fake strings are good enough for MJ Cole, then they're certainly good enough for Diggi Dis and for us here at OCR.

What really shines here is the arrangement and thought put into this. Not your cookie-cutter mix, no sir. Lots of different parts, and as djpretzel said, lots of variety in drum patterns, etc.

Like I said, though I've been listening to this for some time now - this is my favourite thing to come out of OCR for a while. Maybe I'm biased because of the Two-Step, or maybe I just like the fact that it's a clever arrangement of a piece we don't hear to often.

Well, it took a while, but someone finally made a Woodman remix. Began soothing piano and strings, and ended doing so too. I'm glad that Woodman's melody dominated most of the time, but on the other hand I haven't found the other tracks inside it either. Oh well.

Although I'm a big fan of piano and all its associates, the techno part that followed with all its beats and artificial glory was well appreciated. Diggi Dis managed to speed up the process with those instruments, the synth sometimes hit some loud key that sounded too bright, but it all worked out really nice.

Now are all the robot bosses in MM2 covered, well done. :D

Man, I got this mix back when VG 2.0 still existed. How long was this song waiting to be judged?

Anywho, this mix is superbly great. I heart the string sample! I really have no complaints what-so-ever.

At first I wasn't very fond of this remix. Yay, another electronic fast-paced drum,n,bassorwhatever Megaman 2 remix.

Then, at some point it developed a nice jam and I started to enjoy it. The chillout starting at 3:43 is just awesome. I think I'd like this remix more if the whole song was like that, but on the other hand the fast, hectic beginning gives the end more value. The song is very well thought out and everything just clicks into place.

Not one of my all time favorites but a very enjoyable remix in any case.

Thanks.
