OverClocked ReMix...

Final Fantasy 9 'dubnofantasyaloneman'

Whenever djpretzel comes out with another mix, I am filled with anticipation as I can't wait to listen to it. I can't wait to hear what theme he has chosen to use this time, and what sounds he's used that I've never heard before in my life. Every piece of music he puts out has something new and unexpected, it seems. This remix here is absolutely no exception. Snazzy piece of music, djpretzel.

There are only two or three mixes that I DON'T like that the pretz has made, and thats probably because I didn't like the original. My point is that the last like, 5 or so he has put out, I have consistently LOVED. This mix is quirky, and fun, a bit thin at times, but its totally solid like a flippin out NINJA. I'd love to see a collaboration on a song involving Malcos, Jivemaster, and DJP, because they all seem to be pretty 1337 at this style.

I am cursed by Monkey Island, because that's what all reggae-ish music sounds like to me now. This was cool, and I liked the little electronic beeps at 1:28 the best I think. I noticed time really flies when I listen to this mix, so it must mean I'm having fun.

Heh, I like this even more than djp's other recent remixes, which all have been cool as hell. The atmosphere of this song is SO thick! I haven't even played FF9, but I love this anyway.
That violin thingie is truely phat.

Normally, I like a few extra instruments, but I think you focused too much on the extra instrumentation than the actual melody. On other tracks, this usually sounds good. But on You're Not Alone, the main thing I liked about the track was the melody... sorry to say, I liked the original more. Still a nice mix though.

7/10

Edit: Now I realize what I don't like about it. The actual melody is incomplete, having a note skipped every few beats. It's not the foreground stuff as much as it is the missing notes... at least for the first 1:50 or so.

Kinda sounds like it could be used as pr0n music ('specially at the beginning). My favorite mix of this song is off of the FF9 piano collection.

As well covered as the series may be, Pretzel should really do more Final Fantasy Remixes. It has a very distinct Reggae sound to it, but also a lot os synth\techno flavor too. Very interesting use of a lot of different instruments in this remix. I especially like at the 1:50 mark, when the flute part begins. It adds a slow, contemplative few moments to an otherwise very upbeat and fun remix. Props to pretzel for another gem. Highly recommended!

Orgasmic.

I've noticed that when I first listen to a song from DJPretzel, it's not as appealing as the 2nd or 3rd time I hear it. My point is that his songs grow on you. This and Pachelbel's Ganon are two that seem to stray from the original and that put me off a little at first. However, the unique flavor of this song and others are what gives them their lasting appeal. This has such an awesome feel to it that fits in well with the story behind "You're Not Alone!". In addition, this great variance of style makes this interesting all by itself, even if you don't pay attention to the original melody. Another great song from DJP...highly recommended!

This song is excellent. Every time I listen to it, it gets better and better. It took me a while to find out why this song reminded me of another game, but I finally found it - it sounds like Animal Village from Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening during the first 10 seconds of the song. Everyone should download this and listen to it a few times, it takes a few listens to appreciate it.
