Nice work, ninja robots! Great music, helpful feedback, a fun time. Now I gotta go pick something for the next round... HMMMM....

Good round, always a pleasure to listen to the remixes. Long live the Zork.

Grats to Wassup and good job to all.

Congrats Souperion! You all did great work!

Looks like i missed out. I was busy, so i forgot about it lol. Give me a second, gonna listen and post some comments here.... Souperion - Very nice take on this source. The original did give off a medieval kind of vibe, but done with a synthesizer. So the feeling is there, but not the sound. In this case, i really like how you've made it more cinematic and fitting to some kind of war/battle thing from the old period. I don't know what movie matches, but the one closest to me, would be 300 or LOTR. I really love the strings, and the drums work super well. It does fit perfectly in orchestral music. Now the one problem i have, and it doesn't make it bad in anyways, but it's a bit off, and that's the drums. The drums seem to be a little artificial, in the way you've programmed the rhythms. It doesn't feel like a real orchestral percussionist would accurate play that. Sometimes in FL Studio, when i try and change the length, through dragging, it can overlap, and miss a few notes out, or i didn't move it far enough to fit the bar, so the result feels a little off in the timing, a part of me notices this when i listen. Getting side-tracked here lol. I do dig the rest though, the strings are lovely, and so is the brass. Not sure about the tempo changes for me, but they weren't that noticeable, so it was all good. All in all, i loved the work here, well done! Wassup Thunder - Interesting how the drums seem to go against the source, since you've used 4/4 drums in a 3/4 melody. This doesn't change anything thankfully, and the result still sounds lovely. I dig that melody though, the strings work super well here! The synths almost play off the original vibe, since Yuzo made this with a synthesizer. The arrangement is very solid as well, keeps me engaged throughout, loved it. The only flaw i have, is because you are working with a 4/4 beat, parts of the source get cut off, and that feels too jarring to me. Maybe i'm more used to the original, who knows. Musically it's very consistent, and although it's probably part of the style, i still feel a break is needed, maybe even a breakdown. Something to make me hyped for the build-up, or anything like that, maybe even emphasis the atmosphere. Still though, i love the melody arranging, and the way you've played that with the source, definitely high-regards there. As a whole, lovely work, well done! TheVodouQueen - This is probably the first time i've heard you make orchestral music on PRC. Really like the work here, your arrangement skills are top notch as always, love your creativity. You translate all the melodies and harmonies very well in this remix. I could never do effective orchestral music, in the same way others can. Now i have to be honest, i can sense this is not the kind of music you usually make, because most of the dynamics were very static. And the sounds felt more synthetic than authentic. The harpsichord feels more like a synth, and some of the strings sustain for way too long. Some parts also feel out of key, but it could be way you've arranged it. Now to bring this into a more positive light, the arrangement needs to be complimented, i really love how you made a full blown second part, with new melodies and chords, and it works amazingly well. It's almost like a lovely continuation of the original. The chords in this part, were incredible. All in all, definitely strong work in the melody parts here. Maybe a little too off course, if i have to critique it as a remix, it nearly went into a separate track altogether, however i cannot deny it's a lovely addition. As a whole, this is super unique, and a joy to listen to. Well done!

Thank you for the fixes, Bundeslang. Pardon the nitpicking.

^^;

Great round, congrats, Souperion! Looking forward to seeing what you pick for us next time!

Great track, would love to see more of this, though I'm unfamiliar with the game. ?

You know, I think my favorite thing about this mix, the thing that most impresses me, is the restraint. The super-obvious choice when doing an EDM arrangement of a track like this, with its dark driving rythms, would be to make something, loud, heavy, and hard-hitting. But this takes it in a totally different direction, while still keeping that dark feel and driving rhythm. Mellow, chill, restrained. It's really refreshing, and works extremely well!

I dunno why but this remix takes me back to when I first discovered OCR....??...great remix btw!!! ?
