OCR02550 - Donkey Kong Country 3 (GBA) "Corn-fed Kong"
WesternZypher replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Has a great taking-a-boxcar-train-cross-country feel to it. Wish it were longer! So refreshing to hear this under-remixed genre get such fine treatment. -
OCR02517 - Chrono Trigger "Islands in the Sky"
WesternZypher replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
It's hard to go wrong remixing such a timeless (ha, ha!) theme -- but the restraint the mixer showed in avoiding over-embellishment really helps this one stand apart (if not stand out): this almost seems (imho) like an enhancement as opposed to a remix but there's no judgement in that statement - however you look at it (or listen to it), it's really good by any measure. -
OCR02525 - Mega Man 9 "Morricone Man"
WesternZypher replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
A delicious sarsaparilla mixture. -
OCR02233 - Streets of Rage "Four Years Since..."
WesternZypher replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Has a special poignancy in the aftermath of Sandy (I'm fr Brooklyn and thankfully currently in one of the areas of Queens not-so-hard hit by the Hurricane). Great mix. It's got that perfect combination of mellow-chill beats that's reassuring and reflective. -
The PCReMix Initiative ~ Let's put the PC in OC ReMix!
WesternZypher replied to Archangel's topic in ReMix Requests
Here to ask for mixes from: Space Quest Leisure Suit Larry (one mix isn't enough for a 7-game series!) Quest for Glory IV: Shadows of Darkness (imho, Aubrey Hodges made some incredibly immersive, spooky, and compelling music for this Lovecraftian point n' click adventure) The Legend of Kyrandia series (the tracks from the first two games are pretty memorable imho, I still listen to Ryan8bit's mix) Baldur's Gate (seriously, why is there ONLY @$#!?! mix from this game :() Planescape: Torment (see previous parenthetical comment times 1,000,000) Summoner (This underrated game from THQ released 12 years ago: )Simcity 3000 or Simcity 4 (The stuff Jerry Martin and The Humble Brothers created is just perfect for traveling around NYC at night imho) -
finished [PCReMix] Deus Ex - UNATCO theme (Sadevakio)
WesternZypher replied to Eino Keskitalo's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
It's only sounded better in every iteration you've posted! This is one of my favorite tracks along with the Hong Kong BGM from that game. With every improvement you've made it's coming closer to passing muster. -
OCR02509 - NiGHTS into dreams... "Lies Within Dreams"'
WesternZypher replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Congrats, LulzA! This is great change of pace to listen to, although I can't wait her next piece of guitar wailing badassery, it's refreshing and one of the mixes I listen to most from that album (the other is Slumber on a City Corner). Only thing I found just a tiny bit jarring was the ending - I almost though the file had downloaded properly. -
OCR01206 - Little Nemo "Nightmare King's Dream"
WesternZypher replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Still sounds plenty fresh to me : ) Thanks for making this -
OCR00414 - Street Fighter II "Tatsumakisenputronic"
WesternZypher replied to Ginnsu's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Focusing on this chill transcendental quality mix will enable all aspiring acolytes of the martial arts to realize their Ken. -
OCR01374 - Mega Man X4 "The Father of All"
WesternZypher replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I like how this has a great, energetic vibe to it, yet is relaxing and laid-back simultaneously too. Lovely mix...I could never remember the title mix when I was looking to d/l it again just tho' hehe. -
OCR00869 - Tomb Raider "Adventure Is in the Air"
WesternZypher replied to Ginnsu's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Ahhh! Another one-mix mystery! So sad how this site is full of these : ( If this we were re-upped today, would it get a pass? I'd hope so. Love the ambient setup. -
OCR02497 - Golden Sun "Rebirth of Venus"
WesternZypher replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Awesome mix. The pokemon'esque collection of Djinns was a cool feature in this game. -
OCR01784 - Street Fighter II "Clamato Fever"
WesternZypher replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
As of 9/13/12, the YouTube version cuts off around 2:29 abruptly...it continues playing but no sound. (really awesome song though) edit: nevermind, could be that it's meant to loop -
OCR02492 - Silver Surfer "Wanking with the Alien"
WesternZypher replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Midee's Tactile Freefall and prozax's Clamato Fever have heavy rotation on my playlists..so Their Powers Combined makes for an awesome remix! Love Satriani's jamming, and the duo channeled his style perfectly. Great mix! -
OCR02475 - Mega Man X5 "affirmation"
WesternZypher replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Destined for great play list. eternal loopage. -
OCR02033 - Castlevania: Bloodlines "Unintentional"
WesternZypher replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Has this Remixer's remixing career bitten the dust, or will it return from the grave? What a horrible night for a curse of the one-remix-remixer! -
OCR00309 - NiGHTS into dreams... "Soft Museum Jam"
WesternZypher replied to Saunders's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Doesn't show its age at all, except in the best possible way, heralding the quality and complexity of later mixes. Ahead of the game indeed, this mix always brightens my mood, and manages to remain engaging and uplifting all these years later. -
OCR02445 - Super Metroid "Metroid Legacy"
WesternZypher replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
...but feels rather short, especially given how nicely it builds up. -
OCR02424 - Pilotwings 64 "The Birdman Cometh"
WesternZypher replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Bobby is right, calling the mix 'sexy' or some derivative thereof just isn't sufficiently describing just how smooth and relaxing this tune is, but I was being a bit lazy there. Kudos to his follow-up, which is more along the lines of how I normally comment, channeling the weather and moods certain songs evoke. -
OCR02436 - Wild Arms "Cries of Earth"
WesternZypher replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I get the sense of rising over vast and ancient ruins in the desert, and then steeply descending through miles of labyrinthine tunnels, speeding along, and then up and out again to face the starry night sky. Very cool stuff! -
OCR02430 - Mega Man X6 & X5 "Countdown to Infinity"
WesternZypher replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Ah, WillRock, always taking me on a first-class trip back to my childhood and the Golden Days of Yore! Neither familiar with the source tune or game, but I love WR and his mixes, so it's an insta-download. -
OCR02427 - Donkey Kong Country "Depth of the Deep"
WesternZypher replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I feel there's always room for more mixes. It's only when mixes start to sound samey that the "retreading old ground" really feels unnecessary, and that's on the mixer, not the source. This was a gentle, relaxing and contemplative piece. -
OCR02425 - Pilotwings "9-bit Skies"
WesternZypher replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This makes for such productive back-ground work music, and I mean that in the best possible way. It just makes everything...flow better.
