    Great original writing additions; the brass was solid. Loved the drop in the middle, which surprised me, then the rebuild was awesome, followed by the crazy guitar synth for the finish!

    Always dug the energy of this one. Love the way Greg totally transformed this theme. Nice 16th-note runs! :-D

    Still as chill as when we posted it. Solid stuff from NoTuX that's more about subtle textural changes once the mood's established. :-)

    Awesome intro. Needed stronger brass, but that was about the only weak link that stuck way out. Loads of strong dynamics here, led by Pascal's axe!

    I'm more about the writing than the sound design, which was why I was a dissent here. I did dig the electric guitar doubling going on, and I like that this doesn't take itself too seriously. Would have loved for the timing to be tighter, but that's part of the charm.

    Solid trance enhancement! Good job continuing to introduce new rhythmic ideas midway through to keep things fresh. UNTZ UNTZ!

    Cool vibe. You can tell that MkVaff's sound/sample tech was so much more advanced than most folks in the community way back when. Feels robotic and schump-y! Inherently hard to maintain interest for 5 1/2 minutes, yet MkVaff succeeded!

    Wow, surprised I hadn't reviewed this at all when this is one of my favorite old school OCR tracks. Great example of personalizing a theme while remaining melodically conservative. Love the percussion and love the tropical vibe. :-)

    The track was 3:00-long, so I needed to hear the source tune invoked in the arrangement for at least 90 seconds for the source material to be considered dominant in the arrangement. :03.5-:32.25, :48-:55.75, :57.75-:59.25, 1:00.75-1:08.25, 1:10.5-1:11.75, 1:41.75-1:45.5, 1:48.5-1:50.75, 1:54.75-1:57.75, 2:00.75-2:08.5, 2:35-2:38.25 = 66.75 seconds or 37.08% overt source usage Otherwise, it's definitely enjoyable in a vacuum, mixed reasonably well, also well-performed. If you can add other references to the source tune as backing elements to make the majority of the track a VGM arrangement, Mike, then it's golden. NO (resubmit)

    I'll still try to do one anyway, but that's my bad, I should have asked in the first place. I'll reach out to Rebecca. EDIT (2/1/24): Rebecca kindly provided video-based timestamps (added to her submission comments in the first post).

    Crazy, needless clipping & distortion throughout; plenty of ways to do wild percussion and noises without that (see: https://ocremix.org/remix/OCR04536). I liked the dropoff at 1:31, which was offering something different as far as the leads and briefly moving away from the source melody. Ending at 3:01 had a very nice trailoff, but otherwise came after an abrupt stop of the music with no real resolution. It might be a MIDI rip, but the sound's meaningfully personalized and expanded, and we have a number of arrangements that spin off from MIDIs, though I hope in this case, this isn't wholesale taking an arranged MIDI and reinstrumenting it without credit. Barring a Standards violation on potential lifting of an arranged MIDI, there's potential here though, and I'm open to approaches like this; it's a very basic source tune, and there needs to be adeqate space for an expansive concept like this to have a chance. In my opinion, it still needs further development, because while the instrumentation's personalized, the different patterns used here feel too repetitive, which (along with the poor mixing) is what sinks it. NO
