Beatdrop - Burn Out EP (Free Download)
Martin Penwald replied to Beatdrop's topic in General Discussion
As far as I'm concerned, you can be as hard and fast as you want; I'll enjoy it. -
OCR01776 - Castlevania "garlic"
Martin Penwald replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Rad stuff. The breakbeat-ish drums add something new to the usual po! smoothness, and it fits well. The only part where it goes overboard IMO is the moment just before 2:00. Love the nylon guitar, as it adds a certain latin element to the mix. Now that I think of it, this remix would fit into a Ridge Racer game, especially RR Type 4, perfectly. Considering that RRT4's soundtrack is one of my all-time favourites, this should say a lot about how good I think this is. Now take the Sagat part and make it into its own mix. Go, po! -
OCR01775 - Street Fighter II "Sexxy Thai Guy"
Martin Penwald replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
What a strange little mix this is. The first few times I listened to it, I thought that it is way too liberal. But before I knew it, I would wake up in the morning, humming the tune to myself. Other than that, the overall smoothness of the song is wonderful, and it's definitely going on my jazzy/chill-out remix playlist. It took some time to grow on me, but now all I can say is "Well done, and thank you". -

Here is where it ends is an incredible track; been listening to it on repeat for a long time. Hot damn it's amazing. -
OCR01774 - Super Dodge Ball "Rove You Rong Time"
Martin Penwald replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Being a sucker for this kind of music, this song is right up my alley. I love the instruments, the laid back atmosphere, and the asian influence it has, as that is something you don't see too often in this kind of remix. My only gripe is that the remix is a quite a bit louder than other remixes, which results in some volume issues when it's played as part of a playlist. -
OCR01773 - Banjo-Kazooie "Malevolent Mansion"
Martin Penwald replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
The speedy parts are definitely reminiscent of Pendulum, but I have to say that I like this here way more than the stuff Pendulum has been putting out (somewhat) recently. It gets to the point without wasting 1+ minute on the intro, and the breakdowns are really fun thanks to the quirky source tune. The guitar playing complements the song perfectly, though I wish there would be more of the awesome that is the guitar playing after 4:20. Nice work; a song going straight into your ear and not leaving it for quite a while. I hope to hear more from you guys in the future. -
OCR01772 - Splatterhouse 3 "Call of the Mask"
Martin Penwald replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
The strings really give this a sort of 90s Bruckheimer/Simpson action movie feeling, especially around 2:00. Very atmospheric piece that would fit perfectly for some dark and dangerous dungeon in an adventure game/RPG. Nice use of the choir sample, too. -
OCR01771 - Super Hang-On "Burn, Baby, Burn!"
Martin Penwald replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
When I read the write-up and djp talked about an 80s vibe, I was expecting some wonderfully cheesy synths. To be honest, when I realized that there were none, I was a little bit disappointed. In other words, this remix surprised me, and after a few listens, I have to say in a very positive way. The wonderfully monotonous 80s beat in the background, the guitar shredding, and the breakdowns. Excellent. Furthermore, the end really gives this song some kind of 80s-dystopian-movie feeling. To sum it up, no cheesy synths here; instead, you get atmospheric, classy ones. Well done. -
OCR01770 - Super Metroid "Samus Bubblebath"
Martin Penwald replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This. Also, the part between 2:35 and 3:00 is insane and awesome. Insanely awesome. Awesomely insane. All of it. And more. -
OCR01768 - Ragnarök Online "Samurai Discotheque"
Martin Penwald replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Just go ahead and post all the songs from the album. Every single one deserves that IMO. -
OCR01767 - Star Fox "Barrel Roll"
Martin Penwald replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
First off, nice intro. I like the voice samples used in the beginning of the song. Yes, it's cheesy, but it's also fun. However, I'm not really fond of the "Do a barrel roll" used throughout the mix, simply because I don't like how the "barrel roll" part of it sounds. Other than that, there's no real issues here. Nice work. -
OCR01766 - Final Fantasy VI & VIII "TimeShock"
Martin Penwald replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
If this song were a person, you'd call it bubbly. Nice, upbeat remix. Can't say I like the vocals in it, though. They are extremely annoying the first time they come around (when they're really exposed), and they don't do much for me afterwards either. -
OCR01765 - Crusader of Centy "Daily Training"
Martin Penwald replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This song definitely has a late 80s/early 90s anime soundtrack feel to it, maybe with the exception of the slightly darker part starting around 2:00 and the guitar. Uplifting, cute arrangement. Nice work. -
Mega Drive/Genesis 20th anniversary
Martin Penwald replied to lazygecko's topic in General Discussion
The Retronauts podcasts have been (almost) all about the Mega Drive this month. Check 'em out if you have some time. -
I want to hear an epic prog rock mix
Martin Penwald replied to The Vagrance's topic in ReMix Requests
Yeah, SnappleMan's I could be banned soon is fucking rad. If you haven't listened to it yet, check the links suzumebachi posted. -
OCR01764 - Goemon’s Great Adventure "Kabuki Frogs"
Martin Penwald replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Groovy and funky right from the start. Great soloing. Diggin' the breakdown/bells from 1:26 onwards. OCR needs more songs like this one. Nice work. -
I want to hear an epic prog rock mix
Martin Penwald replied to The Vagrance's topic in ReMix Requests
When I read prog rock, I think of Jethro Tull and Emerson, Lake & Palmer. I'd be down for a remix which sounds like their music. -
New compotune, "Mark Salud Seduces a Loli"
Martin Penwald replied to OverCoat's topic in Post Your Original Music!
So you're going by the name overgoat now; interesting. Downloaded the whole votepack as per your recommendation. I like how "Palin" is immediately followed by "porno". -
New compotune, "Distant Future Robot"
Martin Penwald replied to OverCoat's topic in Post Your Original Music!
Oh hey, new Overcoat musics. Been some time, eh? Diggin' the Darth-Vader-breathing-sound or whatever that is. -
OCR01762 - Final Fantasy VI "Terra Haute"
Martin Penwald replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Yeah, I can't really enjoy (most of) this song simply because I'm so tired of the source tune. However, the original parts are quite awesome. Digging the violin, and the sax is pure bliss. -
OCR01761 - Perfect Dark "Clandestine"
Martin Penwald replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
The strings really give this remix a movie-score-esque feeling.
