Default OCR00602 - Lagoon 'Dwarfunk'

Lagoon 'Dwarfunk'

Organ sample could use a little work here, but other than that it sounds good to me! Nice funky remix, and well worth a download.

This mix is simply awesome. First, I always liked the music from this game, and it's great to hear a mix from an overlooked title.

My favorite aspect of this mix is that the style and instruments (esp. the organ) preserve the feel of the original, while raising the depth and richness several notches. The funk style fits, and the funk guitar works well as a subtle extra.

The lead-guitar sound and scales are excellent: reminds of the Transformers the Movie soundtrack at times. My favorite part though is the deeper distorted guitar sound - it adds depth and a hint of menace.

The mix itself is high-quality, varied, and well produced. Well worth the download.

Lagoon was a game with pretty good music, and this remix does it justice in a bite-sized, funky send up.
The bass groove is especially nice, and when the saw solo comes in, it only gets better. If only it wasn't so short.

Good stuff all around, I gotta agree with the bassline. I like the guitar around :50.

The best strong point about this mix is the composition. It's tight and it's cleverly written. Packs a whole lot of ideas into a short time frame.

This might be one of Mazedude's older tracks, but it's still cool. His signature drum and keyboard work is very much present, and his aptitude for arrangement is obvious. It might not be as polished as some of his modern remixes, but that's OK. For the time this was an outstanding mix with a groovy vibe. It has aged well.

Ah, this feels like something that could have been a soundtrack from way back when if designers would have cared more about sound quality.

Gotta say I love the instruments on this one. It's interesting, and frankly, I just think it's biggest flaw is that its short. Overall this is a good original song, and it's taking chances and it goes in a direction I kinda wish we heard more often.

This mix is aptly named: It's short and it brings the funk! From the first five seconds you can tell that this mix stands out from being very different from everything else on OCR. It's very well-made and extremely entertaining.

In response to the comment made five years ago, while the organ sample isn't the best quality, I think it ultimately works in the mix's favor, and complements the arrangement's feel quite nicely.

Good, fun mix. Love the funk feel overall. Quite enjoyable, and pretty polished even for an earlier mix. Love the details put in, like the various sounds you hear.

Nice work.

Definitely some excellent funky stuff. The opening groove really grabs one's attention. Pretty chill stuff that's aged very nicely. More people should roll with this one.
