This is a fun ReMix to listen to. Such a good beat and a great sound with those bits and chips swimming around the melody. Like a retro sound that I would expect to hear from a great indy game, which is cool. Nice work.

A little late, but a very happy birthday to the heir of the Pretzel clan!

I think the judges said it better than I ever could. The instrument choices and the mysterious mood that they portrayed made this mix. I haven't seen the anime or played the game either, but from what I can see, it might be something to check out. Until then, this mix, while have I do have some nitpicks, none of them are worth mentioning because they didn't really turn me off of the mix. Well done.

I like the addition of the Aquatic Ruins along with Ice Cap here. It's a nice lead-in. Truthfully, the longer the song goes on, the more it grew on my vocally, and by the end, I was really digging it. The little nod to Hard Times was cool. All in all, not a bad ReMix and certainly a fun song to listen to. Nice work from Flex and OCU.

OCR03037 - Pokémon Red Version "Dream Eater Mix"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
My heart, this ReMix has stolen it. This is such an interesting take on the style that I would not have expected to hear, even if it seems obvious in today's musical world. Music box (seems like the music box is getting a lot of love lately, which is cool) setting up the more intense and energetic dubstep bits entertains the hell out of me, and the weird little girl voice (what it sounds like to me anyway) is a cool touch that reminds me of the creepy pasta stories myself. Glad that you went back and forth on the music box and dubstep bits, it sounds good that way. I, for one, am all for spookystep and would love to hear more of it in the future. Strong debut, man, this is sick as hell. -
I very much like the idea of ReMixes like this, where an artist takes almost all the opening themes or all the ending themes or something like that and tries to meld them together into one cohesive ReMix that gives you basically a musical icon with which to enjoy a series with. There's just something satisfying about that from an organization stand point. Timaeus did a fantastic job with this and I'm sure a lot of Battle Network fans are eating this up, as they should. I agree with Larry, I'd love to hear this ReMixer tackle some Zero or Starforce, but for now, I'll just be jamming to this for a while.

This does have the feel of something that you would expect from a game in the realm of militaristic spies or stealthy wars like MGS, but hey, all the better to get a wonderful ReMix out of a game that hasn't been covered quite as much in such an enjoyable way.

OCR03034 - Final Fantasy VI "A Legacy Forgotten"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
When a ReMixer delivers in this manner, any and all doubts should be put to rest immediately, regardless of how many mixes of the same source is on the site. And HOLY SHIT that Celtic section. Hitting me right in the soul, bro. It's beautiful. This is freaking immersive and goes on a journey with it's wide range of arrangement. From the tinkling music box opening, to the more epic orchestration of the theme with the sweet flute, to that Irish whistle (Acevedo, props all to hell man), and the heartfelt ending, I absolutely love every minute of this. If you are a fan of Terra, there is a damn good chance you will be a fan of this. Recommended. -
OCR03033 - Spyro: Year of the Dragon "Acoustic Fields"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
So another thing I love about OCR is how I learn things about the video game industry (usually in the music side of it), like about Stewart Copeland. Never knew the drummer for the Police had anything to video game music, let alone Spyro. That's actually freaking awesome, so nice nugget of info, DJP. As for the ReMix itself, it has a damn good beat that I'm truly feeling, and I would have loved to have heard this playing while I playing the Spyro games way back when. It doesn't seem to be a track that goes for the knockout blow, but it is jabbing away with the bass and the dance elements that threaten to bust out on their own. Not bad. -
OCR03032 - Shuttle Rush "Groovin' Through the Cosmos"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Oh god, so smooth and chill. If one was to groove through the cosmos, I would fully expect and demand this to be the music playing while doing so. It's got some easy-goingness to it, but the funk and the groove is so strong throughout the track. Love the quick glitch-ins that were added. Nice. -
OCR03031 - Final Fantasy VI "Savage Triumph"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Enjoying this much more than the original Wild West, to be honest. This blend of musical genres seems to blend the genres I like the most. Something with heavy beats, something with intense metal, something orchestratedly epic and battle worthy. Hell, this is a tornado of awesome, and much like the title, this ReMix is a savage triumph for all three of you. Another one of my favorites from Balance and Ruin. Well done, gentlemen, bravo! -
OCR03030 - Metroid Prime 3 "Entropic Dream"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Oh this is gorgeous. This is one of those pieces of music where all the little bits of atmosphere and mood add so much to a ReMix that already has plenty working for it. Kinda fits the feel of the season we are in with the whole mood of the track as well. Good work. -
One of my top three favorite websites and my #1 source for music in life turns 15! Congratulations on the long life and may we have many more years of wonderful music and the friendliest community I've ever seen online!

OCR03029 - Kirby Super Star "Food Frenzy"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
A full-on metal take of Gourmet Race with GaMetal at the helm is nothing short of an absolute treat for fans of both the music and ReMixer (which I am ). Amazing soloing and well thought out arrangement that gives me a much needed dose of the metal I've been needing lately. Welcome to OCR GaMetal, hope to see more of your work make it here. -
Sweet stuff, man. The orchestral elements of this mix sounds like it would fit in to a cinematic soundtrack to me, especially for credits or traveling scenes. Having the orchestrated konami jingle at the start was an awesome touch and I'm digging the vocal chants going on along with Vampire Killer's section near the end there. Damn good ReMix.

OCR03027 - Sonic CD (JP) "Chips out of Water"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This is really unique indeed. A wee bit weird at some points, but it does have a wonderful sound to it and the chillness of the arrangement was cool to hear. The piano and chip elements worked nicely together and the whole ReMix had a smooth feeling to it that washed back and forth. Not bad. -
OCR03026 - Castlevania: Bloodlines "Red Pearl"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
A mix of Castlevania, Pirates melodies-like influence and a bit of a disco beat......that's a hell of a combo. A combo, I might add, that plays to a lot of my interests, so I'm definitely a fan of this one. -
OCR03025 - Final Fantasy VI "Strange World"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
From an environment standpoint, this paints a pretty good picture, especially with how the mood continues to shift and change and morph throughout the ReMix. Lots of good creative choices made here and I enjoyed this greatly. Nice work, Willrock. -
Happy Birthday Mak!

DKC Mix't Ape '94 - Donkey Kong Country SNES series tribute album
Crulex replied to jmr's topic in General Discussion
Nice, looks like a great album! I'll have to check it out in full when I get back later today. -
The intro really is something else. Hearing the synth and guitar work together was great and I guess all I can really say is that I'm loving this mix. You both did a great job, and while I am split on certain sounds and I'm not crazy about the ending, there's nothing here that really turns me away from this ReMix. Wonderful collab, guys!

OCR03022 - Final Fantasy VI "The Nightmare Oath"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I can't really say that FFVI was my favorite game in the series, but when it comes to fun moments and music, not a whole lot has beaten the Opera house (that I've seen so far). Balance and Ruin did a hell of a lot to take everything that was great about the musical part of that sequence and bring it to a point high above 11/10. This track is no exception. The vocals of both men were amazing, the music was ace and the driving beat right at the climax made for a very dramatic and tense feeling that just has me loving this. So good guys, well done. -
Not bad. It does seem to have a lot of the trance elements that folks are used to, but I personally like the little touches like the bitcrushed drums early on and the chippy elements that are sprinkled around. Even the smallest change to a formula that is already good to begin with can make for a nice listening experience. I'm not crazy about it, but credit goes where credit is due and this is pretty good all in all.

OCR03019 - Ecco: The Tides of Time (GEN) "A Derelict Machine"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Nice. The glitchy atmosphere adds a lot of darkness to this ReMix and it fits the the undertone of certain aspects of Ecco. I love how this takes it's time to make sure that every minute spent just adds to the mix overall, especially when it drops down a bit in the middle for a more menacing march before picking things back up in energetic beats.
