PRC381 - A Different Force In Grass Land (Burning Force)

I managed about six seconds worth of work.. I'll post it here later. -

Sorry I wasn't able to participate in the end! Nice to see the healthy participation! -
The Best Video Games of This Decade
Eino Keskitalo replied to AngelCityOutlaw's topic in General Discussion
I like simple stuff that you can play for hours and hours with friends. I'll say Rocket League. Edit: And from the opposite end of the spectrum, Papers, Please. I haven't played a megaton of modern games by any means, but these are so excellent I can't imagine them not being at the top of the pile regardless. -

I hate real life disclaimer: not really, but you know what I mean. -

Voted as well! I did need the extension, oops. -
It's Lizardcube! (they did the Dragon's Trap remake)

PRC379 - Race Against The Time (Outrun)
Eino Keskitalo replied to Bundeslang's topic in Competitions
I've been playing a lot of 3D Outrun lately! Splash Wave has always been my favourite of the original trio of the tracks. I do like Camino a Mi Amor from the new tracks from that version as well. Anyway, hoping for a good turnout(run)! -
PRC378 - Music Is More Than Words (Breath of Fire II)
Eino Keskitalo replied to Bundeslang's topic in Competitions
I have! Yesterday I just reached the point where it turned from "trying to figure out the notes" to "this is starting to find some character of its own", which is exciting! Also finally sent in my source pick for the next round. It's a genuine classic and one of my all time favourite VGM pieces! -

Sadly I did not find the time. -
PRC378 - Music Is More Than Words (Breath of Fire II)
Eino Keskitalo replied to Bundeslang's topic in Competitions
I think the longer deadline works for me too, as long as I don't do the usual and start working right before the deadline regardless of how much time I'd actually have ... -
OCR03760 - Mega Man 9 "Waltz of the Wind God"
Eino Keskitalo replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
A beautiful piece! I love the treatment of the source here, taking a high-energy MM level track into something delicate, fragile and somber. And yet the parts are all there in the source material itself. I also appreciate it does what it intends to do and nothing more. One more thing I like about this piece is how the tempo changes naturally. The range of the tempo is quite large, it sounds confident and works great. -
PRC377- The Silent of No Songs (Silent Hill 2)
Eino Keskitalo replied to Bundeslang's topic in Competitions
Yup, yup, it's all Renoise presets. Looking forward to making it a bit less so in the future! -

Ooh ooh ooh.. I've had this idea I've wanted to do for a while. -
PRC377- The Silent of No Songs (Silent Hill 2)

The trick is to just submit whatever you've got. Like I just did! -
PRC376 - Fantasy of Feeling (Final Fantasy V)
Eino Keskitalo replied to Bundeslang's topic in Competitions
I think I should finish my draft and upload it here. The source tune turned out to be pretty tricky! I really like the concept of having to pick source tunes that aren't commonly ReMixed, but of course then we don't have the hit source tunes that lots of people recognise and get excited about. -
OCR03752 - Super Metroid "Save the Animals"
Eino Keskitalo replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I like how this track has very clear funk/prog stylings. The organ, the electric piano, the organic drums, popping bass, analog synths.. at the same time, it has also a clear "sequenced and produced on a computer" feel and production to it. I appreciate this combo a lot, don't exactly know why but it makes me feel good. The ending is a bit brief and sudden, I feel like I get what it was going for but just a little more guidance/ramp-up for the sudden ending would have brought out the idea of cutting it out suddenly a bit better. I'm not intensely familiar with Super Metroid music (apart from listening to a ton of rearrangements) but I feel like I certainly recognize the melodies and very much appreciate the refreshing reworking done here. I liked this a lot! -

Okay, let's see if I can count this time. -
OCR03742 - Super Castlevania IV "Tema de Simón"
Eino Keskitalo replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
The piece begins with ambient bendings very reminiscent of the of the original sound palette, which I love. The juxtaposition with the organic latin percussion that follows is strange and effective. Overall the idea behind the arrangement is sort of "obvious after the fact" - I'd never thought of this connection before, but it makes perfect sense. Great sound, great playing, and a very enjoyable arrangement. Great work from start to finish! -

PRC375 - Warping to the Next Round (Crash Bandicoot 3)
Eino Keskitalo replied to Bundeslang's topic in Competitions
Hmm, I thought I read the deadline being 1d 10 hours when I checked on Sunday. Either it was reading wrong, or quite possibly I failed to comprehend it.. Yes.. I think I failed to comprehend it..

PRC375 - Warping to the Next Round (Crash Bandicoot 3)
Eino Keskitalo replied to Bundeslang's topic in Competitions
I started a little something. -
What I really like in this mix is the sense of distance it conveys. The gritty synths, the guitar(ish) lead pushed pretty far into the background, the 'slapback' reverb of the snare, these work really well together (I can see where Gario's comment about the snare 'verb being a touch much comes from, but really didn't think about it while listening to the tune. A tone-down might make it better, but wasn't really bothered as it is). I do feel like the woodblocks are very much disconnected from the rest of the soundscape, at least on my cheap headphones. It's a bit like I'm trying to listen to this song and somebody clanks stuff together in the kitchen. I just didn't get it, but I do see MindWanderer complimented the very same thing in the panel thread. The 'hanging' guitar note at 1:12 feels off key to me. (Similarly the 'tail' of the previous section at 2:35-2:36 conflicts with the next part). I don't like 1:28-1:29 harmonically much either. The same with 3:04-3:06 and 3:16-3:18. Not sure anything is 'wrong' with that part, but it jumps out to me. The key change at 1:35-> is superbly cool. It sort of recontextualizes the material through repeating it in the different key. The 'hanging tail' of the previous part works well there.

Quick thunk, incentives doesn't sound like a bad idea (I cannot speak for OCR), but an album project is a huge undertaking and has a lot of stuff to do in addition to making the tracks themselves. Maybe hosting a competition with prizes might work better? If you want as much of the whole soundtrack covered, you could make it so that tracks are claimed first-come-first-serve.

OCR03728 - Metropolis Street Racer "Tail Chaser"
Eino Keskitalo replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This is super solid stuff, extremely well done. J.ME vocals are a particular highlight! -
OCR03727 - OutRun "Final Ride"
Eino Keskitalo replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I'm playing a lot of 3D Out Run lately, and hearing this brought a smile of recognition on my face. It's usually annoying to hear the high-score track for me, I've beaten the game only twice so far, so most of the time the track means defeat to me. This arrangement has an interesting feel to it.. in a way, this would fit really well in a modern re-vision of the game, but in another, the arrangement has a slight tint of melancholy that feels slightly too serious for Out Run. But it's really good for an arrangement of Out Run music, don't get me wrong. 1:44 has some clashing harmonies. That's about all the criticism I have for the piece. The playing is good, the incorporation of other material is seamless. Pretty good work!
