  1. This is a good mix of Marble Garden and Azure Lake, with a good flow, ace production and some guitar stab playing that I can get behind. Still maintaining the speed and fell of Sonic with a new funky approach, great work. Not bad.
  2. It's almost like Mega Man meets Punch-out with the 80's style boxing anthem mixed with Hard Man's theme, and I totally dig it. I've really loved the Mega's music ever since I heard their take on Air Man, and they do not disappoint with this mix. The song not only builds on Hard Man's theme in the way that a ReMix should, the lyrics and the way the theme swells and builds with the chorus near the end also tells a pretty good story, which is a plus. This is an incredible ReMix and an instant download for sure.
  3. It's always fun to hear more chiptune tracks on OCR, and having this one from the Balance and Ruin album hit the front page is cool. I really enjoyed the "mega man" section and this would fit right into the world of retro soundtracks any day. Fantastic ReMix.
  4. Trap, huh? Well, while I haven't had a ton of listening experience with this style, I do like the way it was executed here. Jewbei and halc did a fine job on bring rap and trance together with the Ice Cap Zone. A little short, but it got the job done. Nice one.
  5. Hot damn, guys. There is so much about this mix that I love that I have to keep listening to it for quite a while. First of all, congrats to Brandon for now having the most mixes posted, which is a feat in and of itself, but for most of them to be quality pieces like this is terrific. I love the Latin lyrics being used right before that epic and stirring take on the rebel army, which is powerful and has a vibe of strength through hope, and even having the Latin vocals during the Rebel Army was cool. And before that, with the gorgeous saxophone playing along with the heartfelt acoustics.....all together, this was a damn good ReMix that ties the whole album together. A strong collab for Brandon, Tuesday and Chernabog. Y'all should be proud of this track and the rest of the album. Nicely done.
  6. Ah, dude, this is beautiful. A solo-piano piece spanning the first three Final Fantasies with pretty sweet transitions, impeccable playing and the kind of key and tone changes that you would hope for in piano pieces to keep it lively, this is absolutely lovely. I do hope to hear more from PacificPoem around this parts in between his youtube videos. Well done, fantastic OCR debut.
  7. This is somehow melodic and psychotic as all hell all at the same time. And I love every bit of it. Sir J, you are a crazy, brilliant mixer. So good, I love this.
  8. Now this is raw power, and fitting for the Imperial Army. Things do ramp up almost half-way through the second minute, making it better than it started out with, and the constant tense feeling kept things menacing and threatening, so between that and the metallistic energy, this is a wonderful soundscape for an army marching on. One of the best tracks on the album in my opinion. Nicely done, man.
  9. Awesome. The tempo changes and switch-ups reminded me of the Zero track you did a while back, but with this, you managed to incorporate many sources while changing the speed of the mix and still keep things rocking, which is cool. I liked how you were able to work Find Your Way in, as it seemed to fit well in the whole of the mix. Good job, fella.
  10. The glitchy nature of this mix gives it a very fever-dream/ bizarre mental trip kind of sound, but for something like prelude that doesn't have a whole lot to it at first, this is a great personalization. I love the violin addition. Nice start to the album.
  11. Excellent work on this one. This is an awesome ReMix to go along with the other Castlevania mixes you've made.
  12. This is a mix that brings it really freaking hard and from an arrangement standpoint, this is pretty good at making a ReMix that brings the aggression. I would, however, have to agree with Brandon that this mix could have benefited from some production and level fixes. I think he said what needed to be said on that, but as for me, I liked it and it is definitely a pretty sweet mix. Not bad.
  13. This right here. Both DJP and Timaeus nailed it on the head with the fact that this has many musical cues that an anime show or a game with poppy soundtracks like Phoenix Wright has, which is great for an uplifting ReMix like this one. Generally, with the energy and positive vibes running through a mix like this, it's kinda hard to not to enjoy it. Nice work, man.
  14. Certainly is groovy and adds a hell of a lot of fun to the Windmill Hut. I liked the additions of Zelda's theme and the secret found cameo, and the story and mental visuals behind this song is pretty cool too, especially with how the vinyl records plays into it. Cool stuff, fellas.
  15. Fun jazz piece right here. I really do like the old time detective feel that DJP brought up that this has, between the snapping fingers, the jazz flute, easy-going and loose playing style that this kind of jazz excels at and so on. Wonderful ReMix and a great track off the album.
  16. Hard-hitting and powerful, this is the rocking metal ReMix that FF battles themes benefit from in intensity. Good rhythm, powerful drums and awesome variety as the mix goes along makes for a great track. Very good.
  17. Seriously fits the soundscape I've always pictured Doom with, with a dark, crunchy, grittiness that goes hand in hand with the hellish challenges you face within it's levels. Nice work. Definitely my favorite ReMix from you so far.
  18. Beautiful and seems to keep what made the original so great on an emotional level. Nicely done.

  20. Sugary and vibrant for sure, this has all the best parts of a chippy little electronic theme all rolled into a neat little mix. Not bad, a pretty good debut mix.
  21. Little V!!! I've been a huge fan of this man's epic metal covers for certain SK and Killer Instinct themes (can't stop listening to his cover of Hisako's theme and his work on Cinder is sweet) for a while now, and to see him appear on OCR a few months later is cool. As for the ReMix itself, it definitely follows his quality of playing and arranging, and this rocking metal arrangement is an awesome listen. Nice work, fella!
  22. Nice to see some fresh faces and some returning remixers teaming up to put out a pretty good hip-hop rap of the sewers theme. There are a few rap pet peeves of mine in this mix, but it's just a personal taste thing, so honestly I have nothing to really nitpick at arrangement-wise. Not bad.
  23. Hot damn, this is almost downright heroic in terms of the melody and feel. The energy is high and driven, and those arpeggios truly are sweet. Hell of a track, this is the kind of rave that brings it hard! So good!
  24. Nice, dude, this has a fantastic grit to it that makes this sound super intense and industrial. Effects were used tastefully and pieced together well. Strong stuff, man.
  25. Here comes the CEO.....Aria is upon us!
