  1. Damn, this is hella fun. I really love funky jazz that glides this smoothly with the perfect mixture of piano, organ, bass and so on. Just fantastic in every way. Dark World usually brings out some neat arrangements from ReMixers, but this is definitely in the top 5 for me.
  2. Simply beautiful, from grand and epic fanfare to a sweet melodic showcase of the main theme, this is a powerful and incredible sounding orchestral piece.
  3. As someone who fully fell into the Minecraft hole last year, that piano loop has been the background opening to sighs of relief and letting go of a lot of stress on some more unfortunate days on my end. So hearing this be transformed into a beautiful, calming meditation piece with chimes and such is awesome and brings me some subtle joy.
  4. Keeps things close to the source, but with an extra punch of funk and some excellent electric guitar makes this an example of how to make something your own while honoring the spirit of the tune. Well done, great mix of Mining Melancholy. Y'all absolutely did my favorite DKC 2 theme justice.
  5. Damn, this was beautiful. The imagery, the synths, and that gorgeous violin, everything here clicked. I'm constantly amazed at how many different ways these themes can be rearranged and still find new ways to explore them. Divine mix here, really loved this.
  6. This is fantastic. I love how it starts off with a deliberate pace that almost sounds menacing before kicking off with that faster beat that I'm used to for the Beep. Glad to hear the whistle scratch sound included throughout the mix, it really ties the whole thing together. If detailing the stage aesthetics through the music was the plan, it worked. Very nice.
  7. Between the percussion and the guitar, this mix is fucking clean, and the soloing is so good. Love the personalization here. Yeah, thoroughly liked this.
  8. Whoa, the chiptune and orchestral really blended together in an unexpected way. Not something I would have expected or thought about, but I really dig the contrast. Super unique and for these two tunes, it fits together. So much gelling going on here, I like it.
  9. Two things make a Eurobeat mix shine for me, and that's consistent energy of the faster kind, and writing/arrangement that keeps it interesting and exciting. This ReMix checks off both and doesn't try to go overboard either. Damn good balance and a great mix of Athletic.
  10. I love me some heavy dark synth wave, but toping it off with ambient vocals and an absolute jaw dropping guitar portion made this beyond fantastic. I think I heard the AA nod, but not sure. Gonna half to listen a few more times to be sure, and then a hundred times more just because this ReMix is that damn good. Hella recommended.
  11. Great guitar playing, solid arrangement and good enough focus on keeping the feel of Guile's theme going until it's time to evolve to some original parts. Not my favorite ReMix of this theme, but still fun to listen to. Not bad.
  12. Best part of this ReMix for me was definitely the piano and xylophone playing, but the arrangement as a whole was very sweet. Normally audio switching in headsets bug me, but the smoothness of how it was done here was more trippy and enjoyable rather than distracting. Really good take on this theme.
  13. You know, there's something about not going absolutely crazy on the mix that makes me like this ReMix even more in a way. It's got it's own flavor in addition to the melody we all love, and the original bit in the middle before the source melody comes back was well done. Really jamming to this one here.
  14. This type of calm edm ReMix gives me the idea of what it it would sound like to give words like relief and satisfaction a musical representation. It sounds good and there's a beat there, but it it's soothing in a way. Quite liked this a lot.
  15. Kinda agree with DJP on this one, I got a more bluesy, slower Floyd feeling out of this one, and it's not a direction I think of in combination often, but it sounds great. A terrific ballad for sure, and while I prefer definitive endings instead of what I call drift endings myself, this still worked for me. Very nice.
  16. Older and dated and it shows, but honestly, still fun to listen to in it's simplicity and wasn't grating on my ears, so good enough for me. Good energy carries this for me, so it's fine for me, but just that.
  17. Love that baseline and the smoother, more focused attention to Zangief's theme here. Could nitpick certain things, and in particular I wasn't into the "claps", but overall for the time, it delivered on the retro idea and was enjoyable enough. Not bad.
  18. Some good ideas, and it's definitely at least a complete song in some regards, but the arrangement and samples, especially the choir, show their age here. A bit of an update in everything and expansion on the writing would make this pretty good. Not awful to me, but not one of my favorites.
  19. Beautiful and sexy as hell with that sax. Agreed with the sentiments that this really brings forward the imagery of a city at nighttime. Perfect theme to chill out to, awesome ReMix indeed.
  20. Parts of this give me very early Tekken vibes, so I dig that, and the sfx were a nice touch when they popped in. Only thing I didn't care for was the section that cut one side of the audio in one earbud then did the same on the other, but outside of that, I enjoyed this.
  21. The flute really adds a lot to the synthy backing and it really keeps the party atmosphere going while going for a smoother vibe. Pretty cool.
  22. Hot damn, nothing better than a Fear Factory ReMix with a coating of 80's percussion that seem like they'll never give you up or let you down and maintains steady energy throughout. Love this.
  23. That Williams influence was felt and heard, I enjoyed the dark world sections the most. Some points seemed off at times though I can't properly articulate how, but nothing ever remotely took me out of liking it. Not bad at all.
  24. Such as unique approach compared to most Mega Man X ReMixes, but it's done supremely well. Like an experience in an open world game with beautiful orchestration, it's hella good. I appreciate when I can get pleasantly surprised by the direction of a mix. This is cool.
  25. So happy whenever this OST gets touched, and this was lovely to listen to. Keeping the slower vibes of those early levels while adding some personalization with the way it spaces around the guitar was sweet. Definitely sounds like PoP, and I love it.
