  1. 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!
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Laments! Laments everywhere! No, but seriously, gorgeous piano work. There is plenty of emotion to be felt from this piece and the cohesiveness of the songs when put together like this to avoid the whole medleyitis issue is awesome. Very impressive and strong debut from PI511. Really liked this.
  5. 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.
  6. A relaxing period after a fierce battle is a great picture to paint with music, and I'd say you guys nailed it here with the poppy music and the in-game sound effects that mirror it. Clever ideas, great execution and pleasant to listen to. Sounds like a winning ReMix in my book.
  7. Love the intro build to this one. Phonetic Hero's percussion skills are strong and it served him well in this. Maintains some beautiful sounds while spreading some breakbeat all around, which sounds great. Great use of the piano, synths and brass for sure.
  8. The beat to this is pretty sick and the chiptune EDM arrangment is just awesome. Very computer/sci-fi-ish at some points just from the way it sounds to me, which is cool. Well done ReMix, really nice work.
  9. Awesomesauce indeed. The lead was a little sharp to me, but other than that minor issue, I really liked this one. The use of the SFX and little jingles were sweet and the wubs were added in tastefully with the help of the main melody. Zelda's theme helped even things out. There are times when I love dubstep and other times when I really don't, but this is one of the better dubs I've heard in a while, so great job, especially near the end of the track with the wubbed-up "Hey listen"'s that you threw in. Not bad at all.
  10. God, I am a sucker for intros like the one here. Water running with some distant thunder and ambient music leading in to the mix, so awesome. Great build to letting the beat pick up with the piano behind it. Very powerful in a subtle way if you get my drift. Lots of little things and a whole lot of work and you have a pretty damn good mix here. Very cool, man.
  11. Beautiful and terrific feeling of accomplishment in this ReMix. Great for a mix of the credits theme. Nice piano and guitar work as well.
  12. Oh my god, hahahaha! I love this so much, guys! As a big fan of all three ReMixers separately, it truly is a treat to hear all three combine to deliver this smooth and spooky rap arrangement of Pumpkin Hill. Also loved the addition of some spooky scary skeletons at the end. Awesome ReMix, I'm going to be enjoying for quite a lot time.
  13. Jeez, now that is some insane piano playing talent! Damn! A solid performance that deserves applause and gets it from me. Nice job, fellas.
  14. Short as all hell, but beyond that, this is quite the fun little ditty of the PokeCenter that I would probably hear at a crafts fair. Love this direction. Nice work.
  15. Looks freaking incredible. Truly nice work.
  16. Yeah, not something I would normally expect from a Batman thing nowadays, but having seen some of the old Adam West Batman stuff, this fits right at home in that era. I even love the little punch riffs from the brass and the quick nod to the theme. Wonderful mix.
  17. Do love the amount of kick this has, and those synth beats worked with it just right. Any nitpicks that can be picked out aside, this is a great ReMix with a pretty damn good sense of hitting your marks and beats when you need to for maximum effect. Nice work.
  18. The mixing of chippy sounds, string hits and dubs makes for a really fun and interesting combination. I loved this back when the compo came about (that Disney twist made for a good story in the end), and I'm glad to hear it pass here. Great mixing of styles and of two great game sources.
  19. CotMM's ReMixes often leave me wondering what I just listened to. And not in a bad way, just in that like DJP mentioned in the writeup, it usually takes a me a few listens to even form an opinion or like one of them. Still, I like this one. "Like", and that's it. CotMM has had many great mixes over the years, and this is decent, but there are better. Aside from my general mixed-to-positive feelings and it's length though, not bad at all.
  20. Yep, I see what we have here, and I pretty much have to just leave it as a nice sounding almost midi mix. Not that I care, I like simple midi mixes sometimes, but that's what it seems to be and I'll just leave it at that.
  21. Upbeat little thing that has some good moments, but unfortunately I can't say I'm a fan. Too many little things bugged me here that I'd only be echoing the last two reviewers. Still, decent work for all the positives this mix does have.
  22. It sets the tone of an icy atmosphere pretty well, and for it's age, it doesn't sound bad at all. It does have a bit of a repetition to it and ends suddenly, but other than that, this is a nice treat from an age that doesn't see a whole lot of them. Very nice.
  23. Yeah, man, let the rock flow! Willrock taking one of the Biker Mice Race themes and going full on 70's with it is a real treat. This game's soundtrack was made to be ReMixed, and I'm glad Willrock gave it a proper treatment with rolling background riffs, some major drum hits and various sets of guitar solos at different tempos. Fadeout doesn't bug me either. That's how it was done in those days for a lot of songs, so it fits. Great mix, Willrock.
