OCR03227 - Freedom Planet "Intercept"
Chernabogue replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Don't know the source (or the game) but that's a crazy cool remix. Reminds me of Nutritious' "Cobra" remix from BadAss 1. It's cool to see people try different things, and this is a nice rock remix. You can still feel some orchestral influences ^^ Nice job! -
OCR03080 - Flimbo's Quest 'Pearly Gates'
Chernabogue replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I don't know the original game or the source, but DAMN, that remix is awesome. I fell in love with it when it came out, and even used it to promote my association's new VG-oriented series (with credits of course). It's super funky/groovy, and the chiptune fits SO WELL. /me dances off. -
My gift should arrive today! Hope my person will enjoy it!

OCR03104 - Final Fantasy XII & IV 'Crystal Gradient'
Chernabogue replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
A very nice pop arrangement, which is different from what Tim usually does. The percussion is cool, I liked the hi-hats with delay. The staccato strings were also a nice addition. I enjoyed it, it's that simple! -
OCR03121 - Final Fantasy X 'Laguna Tides'
Chernabogue replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Neat underater feeling. I love the original source, and you really nailed the arrangement. The choice of synths/instruments is well done and the percussion fits really well too. The overall soundscape is well filled with ear candy (synths, pads, FX). Loved it, nice job! Isn't Laguna a FF8 character BTW? lol -
OCR03138 - Final Fantasy X "Guitar for Zanarkand"
Chernabogue replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
While it's quite cover-ish/straightforward on the source, it's super nice. I wish there were other instruments (flute, percussion) to get more of the folk vibe, but it was still pretty nice. LOL @ the recording noise at the end. -
OCR03212 - Final Fantasy IX "Zero World"
Chernabogue replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
A very long rock/metal remix, cool! The intro reminds me of cheesy Rhapsody album intros, but it's fitting! Production is nice, I thought it was a little quiet though (even if it's metal). You have some cool variations between sections (like after 4:20 -- no pun intended -- or 5:40, or that creepy breakdown at 6:50) -- it's great. As always, the solo work is excellent. Super cool remix from Fishy \m/ \m/ -
OCR03204 - Final Fantasy IX "Miles and Miles Away"
Chernabogue replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Very jazzy, it could fit a spy/detective movie. The brass is super smooth, and the later vibes fit perfectly too. The execution is excellent, and the production is top notch as well. I only saw it was from Joe/XPRTNovice until the middle of track, and it makes perfect sense -- dude's got some REAL talent for arranging. I liked a lot this one. -
OCR03205 - Final Fantasy IX "Late Night Lindblum"
Chernabogue replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Very fun remix, the production is excellent. It's interesting to hear you can blend some acoustic instruments (especially the drum kit) with more electro/synth-y elements. The later part is groovier, and I like it -- it has a jazz vibe to it. Very nice one. -
OCR03209 - Final Fantasy IX "Ground Zero"
Chernabogue replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Classic halc chiptune. Sounds like more 16-bit sounds were used. The percussion work is interesting on this one, and the synths/pads add a lot of depth to the soundscape. The ending is quite cool, I thought it'd be a fade-out, but it was well done. Nice work! -
Kingdom Hearts ReMix Album Project -- Cancelled
Chernabogue replied to Chernabogue's topic in Recruit & Collaborate!
I know this. The initial interest was strong, but as I asked many people (also outside from OCR, don't get me wrong), the overall response was negative. I think I aimed too high, and that I wasn't ready after VV3. This has nothing to do with people wanting to remix the same track(s) -- there are also some personal reasons behind this cancellation. And with all the other projects going on, I don't think this will be a huge problem. -
OCR03207 - Final Fantasy IX "Four Score and Six-Eight"
Chernabogue replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
A smooth remix from Mr. Pretzel himself! The samples are top and sound very realistic -- almost too much! ^^ The choice of instruments helps to create a cool atmosphere -- very jazzy. Excellent arrangement, and the production is super clean. What else is there to ask for? ... djp, Y U NO MOAR RMX? -
OCR03210 - Final Fantasy IX "Crystalline Tempest"
Chernabogue replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
The intro has an incredible atmosphere. I really like the FX work on the harp -- it's super creepy/eerie and works wonders. The duduk (?) adds a mysterious vibe to the arrangement. And I love how it builds to the more epic second part. Nice arrangement, which is, as said by DimeTower, epic without needing to be bombastic! -
OCR03206 - Final Fantasy IX "Birth Under a Blue Light"
Chernabogue replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Wow, this is quite extreme -- but what did you expect from KotR? The melody may have fitted another genre or a more melodic type of metal though. As always, the rhythm work is INCREDIBLE. The lead work is nice too later on. Not my fav from KotR, but a solid entry nevertheless! \m/ -
Oh, this is nice, especially at this time of the year. Love the instrumentation, even if the lead flute sounded a bit piercing. The guitars are a very nice addition. The mixing is maybe too dry/wet to me (acoustic instruments vs. synths) but it doesn't do much as the arrangement is fantastic. Nice job!

Thanks for the answers, Dave, it indeed looks like a very big and long job. Hope it'll go through without a problem! Also, SoundCloud embed? YEAH! Oh, and I like the new design that comes with it. As Rozo said, it's a bit empty, but I'm sure it'll get better once we customize it a bit and get used to it. -

OCR03195 - Final Fantasy VII "Make Who React Her"
Chernabogue replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I wasn't expecting metal by the intro, but I like this rendition. This track sounds very dark and heavy, the rhythm guitars are nicely mixed IMO. The lead+delay works wonders at the beginning. Some samples later on (choir? synth?) sound a little MIDI-ish, as do the drums at some points -- but who cares since the arrangement rocks? Nice effort! -
OCR03117 - Final Fantasy VII 'G-R-O-O-V-E of a God'
Chernabogue replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Cool arrangement, with some solid performances. I like how it blends those different themes together quite easily. I'd have seen a guitar instead of the violin, but it fits nicely. Not as groovy as the title says, but very nice rock arrangement. -
OCR03055 - Final Fantasy VI 'Umaro's New Groove'
Chernabogue replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Wow, this is excellent. Reminds me a lot of Joe/XPRTNovice's stuff. The choice of instruments is on spot, and the performance is excellent. Very interesting way to arrange this track, but it fits it very well. It even has a little adventurous vibe to it. I enjoyed it a lot, and I hope to hear more stuff like this in the future.
