YES. I can feel the warmth in the air, around the corner. The breeze- it calls to you- to ME- TO US. Fuck all this indoor shit. Get in your car, put down the windows. AND DRIVE.

It's a shame that googling 'Luiza Carvalho' gets you some random Hispana hottie - this L. Carvalho deserves to be known based on the sheer aeweomseness of her guitary-goodness. It doesn't seem like L.C. makes much waves on the ocremix/game scene anymore, but I always loved her stuff. Formative for my mindset, now like a decade and a half past!

Aw man, I missed the perfect opportunity to drive the California coasts listening to this (instead of just dry, boring, Google Maps voice). Ah well. It was playing in my head.

Kind of generic dance stuff that would not have sounded new to me thirty years ago. I had a hard sussing out in what way the source tune stood out from the genre application. For me a 4/10...I don't think I'd seek this one out as I did the site's earlier entries from the SoR series.

Cold, dark, relentless and without mercy: that is the soul of the metroid! Hunt them to extinction!

Deus Ex Vermis! Very cool. I always loved the melody from 'New Junk City' -that's what I remember the title being originally called. 'Junkit' is new to me. Good stuff. And I happened to be able to catch Tommy at a VGM Live concert like maybe four years ago, now, here in NYC. All the renditions were great, and I was a little sad that the audienc didn't seem as enthused to hear Tallarico get up and jam out this rocking medley from EWJ. But I certainly enjoyed it.

Surprised no one's chimed in about this yet. It's definitely as described - a song that paints the band dance-marching down St Charles Av.

The vocals make this, to me, seem like every let's-take-a-spiritual-esque-car-trip commercial, ever. While there's nothing lacking w/ the synth arrangements, I think that speaks more to the catchiness inherent to the base tune. Solid 6.5/10 - good aural listerine

Kind of hearkens back to OCR's early days, sounds like. During a long, hot summer, I'm digging the chill vibes the energy of this gives off. Like opening the fridge to stick your face in...

Once again suffers from the 'too-short-itis' that so many recent (meaning, going back ten years to ~2010, at this point) now seem to be plagued with. I was just getting into it-- when it ended. Would fit right into a tropical-themed Sims DLC, tho'.

How apropos of our current zeitgeist.

Short (so short!) but sweet. Wish it carried the tune a bit longer. Can't help but think from the title that sound sparingly used ambient fireplace noises might've warmed it up some, too.

I've still got the original xmplay-able JJR OSTs somewhere on an old PC. Dark Groove fr the second in the series is one of my favorite tracks, eminently listenable. This is an insta-classic, very seasonable and enjoyable. Brings back fond nostalgia of playing the game on my old 486... UltimateScientificIguanodon-mobile.mp4

Reminds fondly of old Ultima music.

Quite encozying. Puts a fire in my heart and a strong drink of choice in my gut.

Frictionless listening, frictionless living. Glide on by.

Feels like zooming along thru an urban nightscape, Good Future indeed.

This while skanking to some stanky horns

Groovy, wandering, meandering, a sonic adventure. Kinna makes sense this popped up today on the rainwave station, in a way too although thematically it doesn't really fit the day beyond the title. One of those 'early' mixes I thought I must've commented on at some point, and then am surprised to find I never did. Wish Pacaud put out more stuff on OCR these days...

Energetic, compelling, enjoyable - but the crying sample was a bit overused I think.

Feels like it could fit right into a recent remake.

My OCR listening heyday seems to stretch from near immediately after the site's inception thru the end of its first decade into the 21st century...so mostly missed Rexy's work, as I somehow never heard her mix fr '05; gonna rectify that now. Mellow, jazzy, hopeful - good stuff.

Agreed that it imbues the original tune with weight and tension and feels right at home as the intro to the gritty and dark fantasy 1990's counterpart to the SF movie in some alternate reality. Short and unsatisfying ending though - has that "builds up to nothing"-itis about it that some remixes that start off promisingly suffer from.
