OCR00304 - Super Mario World "The Dark Reaches of SMW"
TheCD1 replied to Saunders's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
A personal fave and permanent resident on my playlist all these years later. The source selections, transitions, sound effects, the beat...👍👍 Stellar timeless (IMO) example of early OCR -
OCR00303 - Zelda II "Hyrule Housing Inc."
TheCD1 replied to Saunders's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Agreed with Marmiduke, although I actually tried listening to this song several times on repeat and it leads in and out to itself quite nicely. You gotta be a fan of that backing tune, right from the source, and I really am. Nice remix that still hangs out on my playlist. -
OCR00641 - Final Fantasy VIII "Liberi Fatali Overhaul"
TheCD1 replied to m68030's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
An older remix for sure, from style to production, but I still like the take on the source. I like the vocals, and the remix gives me Parasite Eve vibes, so thumbs up! -
You never know what kind of gold you'll find in that AM wilderness out there! Truly unique remix that is still on my playlist. The intro is a lovely (tiny) portion of early OCR.

OCR00291 - Blaster Master "Japanese Swamp"
TheCD1 replied to m68030's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Great remix from a great source, well selected! Still filling out the weirdly wonderful on my playlist. -
Well said, chill with intensity. An oldie but still a regular on my playlist for its ability to transport me with the soundscape

OCR00273 - Chrono Trigger "Schala's Paradise"
TheCD1 replied to m68030's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Not my favorite genre, and yes it's repetitive, but it does a good job with the source and it just...works! Very easy to listen to, IMO, and still on my regular playlist in 2024 -
OCR00268 - Super Mario Bros. 2 "Insomnic"
TheCD1 replied to m68030's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Agreed. Not a whole lot added to the source, but the remix itself still has me bippin' and boppin' in 2024! -
OCR00246 - Sonic the Hedgehog 3 "LatinSphere"
TheCD1 replied to m68030's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Another classic MkVaff that continues to live on my playlist. Not a fan of how one prominent effect has aged, but overall it fades away into the loveliness of the rest of the remix. Speaking of fading, I also agree that the ending could have been drawn out a bit more. -
OCR00646 - Mega Man 4 "Cossack Hot Steppin'"
TheCD1 replied to orkybash's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Not the craziest mix, or the most technically impressive, and it does feel too short, but damn it's so easy to listen to. The beat plays on, even after all these years. 👌 -
OCR00240 - Sonic the Hedgehog 3 "IceCapped"
TheCD1 replied to m68030's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I agree that it still holds up. Great energy, great work on improving upon the source. Classic MkVaff -
OCR00239 - Final Fantasy VI "Devil's Lab (Acid Mix)"
TheCD1 replied to m68030's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Still a regular on my playlist. Another early remix that sticks heavily to the source, and some of the instruments may sound dated, AND it's too short, but there's more than enough going on to still take me back to that factory of evil. Maybe I should use this as my alarm...👺 -
OCR00233 - Final Fantasy VII "Neoteric Assembly"
TheCD1 replied to m68030's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Still enjoying this remix! At first the change midpoint threw me off, but after a repeat listen I got over that quick. This tune actually makes me think of the Serpent Trench in FF6, itself also a great source. Regardless, good stuff, great energy 😎 -
Great remix that still rocks (blasts?). Tracks that focus on electric guitars aren't usually a draw for me, but this tune won me over long ago. As mentioned, too short! Regardless, good stuff 🤘
-
The chill is still going strong on my playlist. Classic game, classic remix 😎
-
Been listening to this track for a long time. May stick close to the original, but the source is great and I've always enjoyed the additional depth this remix adds. 👍👾👍
-
STILL grooving 😁 Great chill track that is still on the regular playlist. Another great tune by MkVaff. Tight production, lovely flow, a short ending (as has been said) but a real gem.

OCR00173 - Final Fantasy "Medieval Kaoss"
TheCD1 replied to Ginnsu's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Another great MkVaff track that holds up over 20 years later. Great work adding to the source, and the technical skills still shine through. Makes me want to take another trip into that damn volcano! -
OCR00166 - Super Ghouls'n Ghosts "Ice Mountain Symphony"
TheCD1 replied to m68030's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Over two decades later and this track still holds up beautifully! It does stick close to the source (which is great on its own!), but this remix deserves to continue flying up in those icy peaks. -
Almost 24 years later and still a great track. Nice and moody, the sounds especially makes me think of Samus just hanging out in those deep bubbling caverns.
-
Still a regular on my list after almost 20 years! Some of my favorite remixes are those that take the source in unexpected directions. With Pacman it's been "Glass Cage" and Sinergia, so far. Great dark take that holds up!
-
OCR00156 - Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past "Dark World Jazz"
TheCD1 replied to m68030's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Still my personal favorite take on this particular source. As has been mentioned, it's simple, but still very effective and enjoyable over two decades later! Great chill -
OCR00155 - Tetris (GB) "McVaffe Quasi Ultimix"
TheCD1 replied to m68030's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Not the first A-type-only remix on this site, but still my favorite. Interesting progression that seems to derail for a moment, but comes back with the smooth finish that keeps this classic a regular on my playlist. -
OCR00151 - Street Fighter II "Blanka Braziliamix"
TheCD1 replied to m68030's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
A testament to this remix, as well as the to the source itself, this composition still holds up. This Blanca-main wants to go back in for another round.
