OCR01843 - Civilization IV "Destined for Greatness"
Mtlbro replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
If I was blindfolded in a room full of swahilians and these guys were singing in their choir I wouldn't be able to tell the difference ) . . this mix pays excellent homage to the original while adding satisfactory originality I am pleased -

I love the transition into choir at :40, the chords and effects mind um, boggled me. Great rhythm track, overall a true OCR standard imho. -
OCR01835 - Top Gear 2 "Dance Nation"
Mtlbro replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I was like, searching, but couldn't find, and then got frustrated about. . a melody. Then a buildup, and I'm like, where's this going? And then 1:59, and I'm like: WOW HOLY S*** and now I LOVE this mix. Makes me dance. -

OCR01831 - Final Fantasy VI "Inspector Strago"

My favorite part is the AWSOME rythmic background with all the effects around 1:05-1:40. Lots of hooks. Me like !!! -
OCR01830 - Gradius III "Declaration of War"
Mtlbro replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
That piano intro got me all in the mood for something mellow, and then BAM!!!! I still don't know exactly what hit me, but it's good -
I like the reinterpretation of Asiatic Banjo, really reminds me of playing the game, I even think I could hear this ingame, masterfully done. Some of the samples, like the banjo, and the viola (is it a viola?) are only so so however, but that's not your fault. Great stuff and WOOT for Banjo Kazooie!

WIP - Pokémon Pearl Wild Pokémon
Mtlbro replied to electric concerto's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
WOOOh wooohhh where's the cool "POKEMON BATTLE STARTING" intro? That could have been a rousing, ROLicking way to start the mix. I LOOOVE that announcer and the chrowd though, so maybe put the intro "random" stuff later in the song. I relize the style you're going for, but mabey add something at :46 to :56. That's great mixing and rhythm and everything, really, but you lost all my interest there, which is sad bc the first 30 seconds totally grab my ears! Up til 2:43 is truly great stuff, I dig the rhythmic hits and tension from the constant variation of the drums (or about as much as you can do in a techno peice). That's a cool interpretation starting at 2:43 I don't know how else to say it, but the transition at 3:09 could be a little smoother imho. As far as the source, starting at :50, which is where I assume you're stuck from, those tunes lend themselves perfectly I think to your style. Maybe your perdicament is you wish to vary the song a little there, and I'm actually not an arranger, I'm just a listener, so I don't know if I could help there very much. Synth solo? maybe break there and just do a drum "solo" of sorts for kind of an ear break from the constant bass thump? Sorry this is where I'm no good. OK I hope that wasn't too painful, I wish you the best. -
I agree to mabey throw in Jolly Roger Bay or at least one other song of your choosing which I assume you would use to inhance the mood (relaxed, easy listening) as much as possible . I commend you for tackling a song which so many have heard, there's a lot of "wrong" ways one could go about remixing a peice like this, but you've got a great start At least from what I could tell from the youtube. Is that link up to date or have you worked on it since then?

I second the cheers for refreshing diversity in a mix featuring rock guitar. Nicely done I dig listening to these collabs -
OCR01809 - Lufia "Flowers, Life and Memory"
Mtlbro replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
That theme around 3:10 is so pretty, I like how the arrangment fits those candy moments in so well. Definetly original -
The sound clips work for the intro, I'm not sure why, but they sound very good. . there. Sans ending clips I love this mix (piano wow!!) I love the Naked Gun

OCR01805 - Chrono Trigger "But the Future Refused to Change"
Mtlbro replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Wow the rock operah quality isn't done so much anymore, but this feels sooo natural. People are saying the transitions are too choppy, but I get the feeling some of them were done that way on purpose, like the transition at 4:16. I really like that one. .
