[OCR02064 - Sonic the Hedgehog 2 "Chemixtrixx"]

You sir, are a new favourite of mine. I love your club like stuff... it's fucking sex. I've shown your stuff to a lot of my mates, and all I can say is your gaining quite the following in our circle.

This is just so damn sexy, I don't know where to even begin. So I won't even start. I'll just gush and tell you that your awesome. How's that? Sweet, deal.

Top work man

I think that coming from you is quite a compliment considering your releases around here.

+1 from me too.

[OCR01904 - Castlevania II "The Accursed Seal"]

The only thing better would be if The Shinto Six teamed up with goat on a Castlevania mega mix.

yes.

this would be superb.

Call it 'double shot' for the two axes.

[OCR00717 - Axelay "Kick My Axe"]

I guess the track was to capture the essence of old 80's sci-fi shows. The strings bring out that "epic" feeling witle the guitar definately adds to the flavor. One of my favorites. Yes, it can feel like "BAD ANIME BACKGROUND MUSIC" at times, but when the song is good, what's to complain?

I really identify with what your saying. It almost feels like a lost style of composition in this day the way it stands out. I would even say it lasted into the very early 90s too, this very strident, driving leads and guitars.

Its a bit of cheese. But I like cheese. And I like those who like similar cheese. Like that rock organ-sounding thing, and the suspense stuff around 3:00. This is a fun track. :]

This mix does lose a bit of direction at the end, but one has to understand the source material when its composed to old shooters/shootemups, whatever you want to call them. The boss is coming up, after all.

And I don't get the hate on clean mixes like this. As a musician, being able to perform the original work is a unique endeavor all of its own. People can talk all they want about it just being a cover, but I really feel those who try to isolate it that way aren't seeing the whole picture. As though there is somehow less creativity in performing than composing/mastering.

Oh midee? I came around a little late, do you have an updated version of this somewhere else since VGMIX went X_X?

[OCR00745 - ActRaiser "Thy Followers"]

Too bad we haven't heard from Cox in so long, but the winds tell me he's

popped back up recently? Pity I'm no pianist...

I really like his influences. "Lilt" is the adjective that comes to mind when listening to his pieces.

This is a great synthetic symphonic mix. I like 'supa clean' mixes like this that really go after the original work in a faithful way. The flute sample did get a little baked right at the end like some folks have already said, but considering this submission is nearing 9 years old at this point, and its the only negative thing I can come up with, I say download this.

And those comparing it to Symphonic Sweet, which is live rendition CD coming up on 20 years old...I don't think a comparison to it is necessary to enjoy this by itself.

..but what do I know.
