It's rare that OCR gets this kind of well-executed ambiance and atmosphere. Vocal parts are great, as is their contrast.

And hell, I loves me some BOOM-style percussion. Well done.

Talk about dark. Not my cup of tea, but very well-produced. Love the concept of the vocals.

Holy crap! It's finally posted! Yeah! I'd review but, hell, I'm a bit biased. Everyone else, I hope you enjoy the hell out of this mix, as I enjoyed making it. Also, thanks again to DragonAvenger, she did an awesome job!

Great mix. I love the ambience, and I especially love the vocals. Congrats Dragon Avenger!

Glad to see your colab. made finally it through Joker. Production sounds very solid and even though I'm not familiar with the source, I like what you've made out of it!

Hey Joker. You mind posting the lyrics of the ambient vocals? They're hard to understand at certain points. Awesome mix btw.

Man there's been some great stuff on OC in the last few months. This track is pretty amazing for taking a song and turning it upside down in a listenable way. You guys did exactly what creepy calls for. You went for the hints of creepiness that are ultimately way more frightening than the crappy CG ghosts they use all the time these days. Excellent work, shows an appreciation of the original and a knowledge of how to use that appreciation.

I also feel obligated to add to your report card that "you play well with others."

Thanks to everyone's comments. The Joker did amazing work with this track, I was amazed to hear what he did from the original.

The lyrics are there, but they really aren't anything special. At all. I tried to focus on the different things in the stage, and that was the result I got. Certainly nothing to write home about. I'm glad it added to the overall creepiness of the piece though.
