Can't be said too many times! Happy birthday Kyle! --Eino

Hahhh, yes, I've noticed this too. This was my second favourite musical moment in the game, it's a great track and it's a really neat touch how it plays through the combats in the area, so the track plays continuously. It's kind of on my personal todo list, but that doesn't count for much, so I hope to see someone tackle this soon as well. The best moment was when Corridors of Time first started playing, but that one's covered! --Eino

Yeah, that's a damn nice tune. There's a reason Mega Man soundtracks get the love they get.. and this track definitely should too. --Eino

I swear that's the hardest captcha ever. --Eino

There's an upcoming Sturm track on the BadAss Vol. 2, that's just wrapped up the music part and will be released... sometime in the future. --Eino

I have no solution, but I have and enjoy the game and wanted to say cheers for remixing the music! --Eino

I've voted! A great turnout with a great source, and it was really cool to hear all these different styles and takes on the source. --Eino

I had to look up "djent" actually, but I'm familiar with Meshuggah. And if Meshuggah submitted a VGM rearrangement to OCRemix, I have no idea why it would be rejected based on style or production standards (: I'm looking forward to your track now. --Eino

This is really good (and it's C64). I really should be working on some other tracks though. --Eino

The B&W shot of Deia is pretty damn badass. --Eino

That was fun to read and check which of the releases I had heard. Preschtale and tracer were probably the highlights of my year, but there are a lot of goodies (and fun trivia) in there. yay gameduels! Thanks Mirby for putting the post(s) together! (: --Eino

Kyle, I'd be happy to join that album. The guy I played it with back then is a guitarist, it'd be quite cool if he was up for a nostalgic collab. (: --Eino

The video was fully appreciated by the whole family here! --Eino

Yes, definitely seconded! I'll sit out this round, although it takes mental effort with two good source picks - I have ideas for both, but I should also sleep sometime. (: --Eino

Haha, I remember playing this for a day or two straight with a friend back in the day.. the blisters I got on my thumbs were so bad. I'm a bit sad I don't remember the music so well, the first stage seems familiar, but the two others don't really ring a bell. But most importantly, all are very good stuff! Perhaps I'll get around to paying tribute to this game, the memories are good! --Eino

Wow! Preschtale was one of The Albums for 2012 for me. This sounds like a wonderful continuation - great idea! Thanks for the music! --Eino

Happy birthday to a fellow PRC'er! (: (and congrats on winning #234!) --Eino

Happily, I found the time to vote. Pretty good round! --Eino

Running Out of Time uses Sealed Door, which has 3 OC ReMixes posted. Technically it's against the rules, should we consider this when voting? (I don't personally mind, but am the kind of guy to point this sort of thing regardless ) --Eino

Uploaded mine! --Eino

I have something I find almost submittable, and I should have an hour or two tomorrow to work on it. So we should have at least two tracks. (: Nice work MindWanderer for having already done your entry way ahead of the deadline! --Eino

Link's dead. Ganon rejoices. --Eino

Sounded pretty cool to me! I especially liked the combination of plucked strings and the synths, and the "swingy" feel some of it had, especially the horn thing towards the end. --Eino

My previous compliments apply. The solo piano section seems much more coherent now. It still has a sort of hesitant quality to it, which didn't detract from the piece musically. jnWake had good-sounding comments on improving it though. I agree with this. It sounds like a 90s style looped beat thing to me, which I don't have a problem with, but some more activity wouldn't probably hurt. But I have to say I thought the percussion in the quiet section starting at 01:39 was pretty stiff. Giving it a more humanized feel might work, but if you don't want to go that route, perhaps more processing/filtering, fading that stuff in/out would give it more interest. I think this is a serious problem with the arrangement, you have to bring some of those notes in line with the overall harmony of the piece. Fairly easy to fix though. The bassline and the idea you have about it is cool in itself, and I like its overall sound. I hope you can get a live player on this, it'd be cool to hear! Because that is in the possibilities, I didn't much concentrate on the current sax sound so no comments on it now. Oh, and the flanged shaker is <3 --Eino

It took me a while, but here's a few more comments. Doesn't sound too dry to me. The piano sound seems ok to me as well. I think I liked the real piano sound more, but it was some time ago so I can't be sure. It sounds good enough to me in any case, especially the quieter parts. Of course I can't speak for the judges panel, I think I have a lower standard for production/sound quality than them. I had to turn up the volume on the computer to hear the track properly, so it's a bit quiet on the quiet sections. The loud things are then really loud! Then again, classical music usually has a big dynamic range. I feel like the arrangement gets a bit predictable as it progresses in my opinion, and I sometimes lose focus on listening to it (around 03:30 maybe?). But sometimes it seems just fine. I don't have a concrete suggestion unfortunately. I do enjoy the minimalistic style/feel at the same time. You could see what the workshop moderators think by setting the thread up for mod review. --Eino
