One of the best orchestral arrangements on OCR. Although coming in at over 7 minutes, it absolutely never gets boring and/or repititive. For some weird reason, the part starting at 3:51 reminds me of Zeldo. Dunno why.

Digging the stuttering voice sample in the beginning. Grungy drums: always a nice thing (reminds me a little of CoLD SToRAGE), but overall, I think that they are a little to grungy. It makes the track sound kinda muddy. Same with the drums that have short appearances at e.g. 1:05 and 10:8/10:9. Keep working on it; I like it so far.

This song has a lot of potential for playing around with the left/right panning; please do so. That would result in quite some awesomeness, me thinks. I, too, think that the sounds'n'beeps need a little more variation. Anyway, keep working on it; I'm looking forward to the next update.

Nice stuff so far, but I think that the mix is without any direction. There are a lot of ideas in it, but hardly any of them get really used. As soon as something starts, it's almost over. Furthermore, I think that the "intro" is a little to long. The song picks up speed at 1:56, and that's almost after half of the track. Too late IMO.

I'm digging this very much. Nice atmospheric track; I don't know why, but it gives me a Shadowrun-esque feeling, and that is always good. Also, I don't see what's the problem with the end. Didn't sound rushed or anything to me.

Nice song, but I think the taikos are way too quiet/thin, except for the solo beginning at 2:45. Taikos are powerful instruments that are loud; they make your heart beat to their rhythm (at least when you listen to them live), but in this mix, they somehow drown in the other instruments. Also, the techno-esque bass drum just didn't really fit in there, but that's my very personal opinion.

Talking about buying shirts from overseas, will there be the possibility of payment via paypal? Oh, and XL for me. Need it for my shoulders and arms.

Okay, the birds are gone, but since this is a doomsday update, it doesn't really surprise me. Definitely digging the part starting at 1:38. Also, the new part from 2:22 on seems rather nice. But don't you think it's about time we get a complete outline for this mix? There have been more than a dozen updates since the first version IIRC, and we still haven't heard the end of the song.

When I first listened to this song, it didn't work for me. But after listening to it for 3 or maybe 4 times, it started growing on me, and now I think that it is a pretty sweet piece of work. But I have one complaint: the song is toooooo damn long. It should have been made into two seperate songs; one with vocals (the part up until 3:23), and a second, instrumental one featuring the dungeon theme.

Most of the voice samples are too hard to understand, but they certainly add to the atmosphere. And I love the song itself; it sounds very dirty and brutal. Makes me wanna play the games again. More Fear Effect love, plz.

Very enjoyable. Taucers guitar-work is as wonderful as always, and DJPs singing has come a long way since the infamous singing pretzel. I hope to hear more vocals from him. And I like the lyrics. Never played Chrono Trigger and probably never will, so I don't know anything about the story behind it, but the lyrics are nice and not too cheesy.

Heh, I was just thinking about bumping this. Anyway, yeah, it's time for some news about this. Glad to hear that you plan to work on the drums and the ending, because I think those are last remaining issues with this song.

Yes, that was what I meant. I thought so.

Got back into the VGDJ thing with no.052 (nice show, though the music during the panel was hardly audible), and I hope to stay with it this time. Because the last eposide before that was 036 or something...

F-Zero has one of my favourite OSTs from the SNES era, so I was in high spirits when I saw the new mix on the front page. And it didn't disappoint me. There are only two gripes I have: the first would be that the quiet section is a little too quiet, and the second is the part at 1:37/1:38. I simply don't like this style of playing that sounds as if the player hammers down his whole forearm on the keys. Overall, beautiful piece. Congrats on that one.

I'm not that much into FF remixes, but I like this one. It starts powerful, and continues like that up until the Beatles part. Latter is also done very well (I often find myself noddin' my head to it), but I still prefer the first part. Diggin' the violin.

I like the creepy atmosphere this one has, and the voice samples as well as the laughter add a lot to that creepiness. Well done.

Me personally, I'm not really fond of the stop at 1:56. Kinda freaks me out. But the part beginning at 2:10 is, as stated above, pure bliss. Overall, I like the general laid-back-ness of the mix. I'm not familiar with the source tune (or so I think), but the ReMix really got me.

I don't think it was intended, but this would make excellent BGM for some spooky castle in a RPG. Nice work. Keep it up.

The idea of dueling consoles is very nice, but in my opinion, this duel-theme is only audible up until 1:58, i.e. for less than half of the mix. I think it would have been more true to its name if that part had been longer. That being said, I still like the mix. It's just mindblowing what happens from 1:59 on.

Nice ReMix that comes of rather old-skoolish due to its source-tune, but that is actually a good point, at least in my book. I'm definitely diggin' the part from 2:08 on, very nice slow-down.

The 80ies grab you from the very first second, and they don't let you go until the song is over. Wonderful, innovative, catchy stuff.

Don't know what to say other than that I like it. Definitely going to my OCR-Rock-playlist.

Probably one of the best buildups/finals I've ever heard. It all grows bigger and bigger after 3 minutes until it just explodes into a mad final from 3:59. Geez, this song gives me the shivers. Great work.

Ever since I downloaded that song from VG Mix, I've been in love with it. Very powerful stuff.
