  1. The thing is, OCR doesn't really accept revisions once songs have been posted. The submission guidelines say "one second audio glitch", but the volume boost affecting the entire song is a much bigger change. I don't think the resubmission will go through on this one.

    The best thing you can pretty much do in this situation is send the revised version to people who really want it, or just host it somewhere and put the link somewhere in the topic.

  2. Having once tried it myself, I know how difficult it can be to dance in snow.

    That does not, however, affect the danceability of this mix. bLiNd does a really nice job with keeping the music "busy" in the background (as eurobeat tends to be), but I'm glad he didn't pump up the volume and instead kept it at a lower, slightly more mellow but no less energetic. It's full of energy, yet... somehow it preserves the tranquility usually associated with, well, snow.

  3. So far...

    - I like how the drums at 1:50ish and that harp-sounding instrument at aroung 3:00 pick up the tempo.

    - There's one particular section running through 4:30 where what I assume are the snare drums have their biggest presence. It's a very unique-sounding snare drum sound; I haven't heard anything like it before.

  4. Oh man oh man has Myth Naz come a long way in his style and flow since "Phoenix Down? Party Up!"

    I have this to say for him: Myth Naz was and still is the Shakespeare of rap lyrics... even when his early rapping efforts made him sound like a white boy with bronchitis. I thought that the lyrics for PD? PU! were truly inspired, and these are no less awesome.

    Speaking of PD? PU!... now that you've honed your rap voice, you gonna redo it again sometime?

  5. Problem.

    I ordered the last medium baseball-tee shirt, and to my disappointment, it is NOT 100% cotton like ZTNet describes. It's 50% cotton, 50% polyester. Now, knowing that I live in Arizona, which is either raining heavily (a few days of the year, like yesterday) or blistering hot, and I don't want to have to sweat in a polyester shirt when I'm feeling much cooler in a 100% cotton shirt.

    I'm returning the shirt anyway (don't like the look of the baseball tee), either for good or in exchange for a regular shirt, but before I do that, can anyone tell me if they got a 100% cotton t-shirt or got shanked like I did?

  6. Technically this type of mix wouldn't be accepted any more because of a new policy:

    Any incorporation of non-game music (mainstream, classical, etc.) should be very limited and should never carry significant portions of the mix. For example, a Mega Man mix that used Beethoven's 9th symphony for its chorus, where 15-25% of the mix was not from the game itself, would likely be rejected.

    But this mix gets to stay because of the grandfather clause, and won't likely be ReMoved in the next lockdown.

    As for the mix itself... uh, the people on the first few pages got it right. That FF9 ditty that plays is clearly not Steiner's Theme, but a double-time rendition of "Loss of Me\Rose of April or May or November or whatever the hell the month is".

  7. I just talked to a friend of a friend of mine, and he says he'd be willing to host a mirror. I don't know the exact numbers, but I know he's got tons and tons of bandwidth that's hosting not much more than a few webpages and a small forum.

    So Claado, you can put that down on the list of mirrors for Chrono Symphonic. I'll PM you the details as soon as I get a hold of them.

  8. It was kinda cool to see this review get back to the top of the list, especially seeing as Mythril Nazgul's own rap version of the same theme just got accepted by the judges' panel (congrats!). Nice indicator of how far ReMixes have come in terms of quality over the years. Anyway, it would be unfair of me (and also the wrong place) to compare the two, so as far as a review goes:

    I think this mix would have a lot of merit if it, for one thing, didn't have so many annoying background noises, some of which sound like a TV was on full volume during the recording session. At first, I wanted to say the mix sounded cluttered, but on a second listening I realized it wasn't a bunch of instruments struggling for dominance, it was just all that background noise getting in the way.

    Some sharper-sounding synths wouldn't hurt, either.

  9. "Mainstream-ish?" Sounds far, far, far from it.

    Besides the fact that Fear is an excellent choice for a ReMix, I really admire how well-placed the vocals are within the song. I know some people miss the "muh-muh-muh-mind killer!" part from the original song, but I think the well-timed "What's in the box? .......... PAIN!" works just as well.
