Despite it's age, I've really taken a liking to the arrangement and sound of this one. Kicking it into a different gear after the third minute for a bit was a nice touch that I liked and I love the atmosphere of this entire mix. I honestly never loved the prelude theme itself, but this is a nice step up that I can get behind.

Light and gorgeous, this is exactly what a beautiful lake should sound like. The signature change was a nice way to continue the mix while adding a new element to it. Kinda reminds me at some points what Lake Hylia would sound like if they tried to add some of the "beauty" workings in terms of arrangement and instrumentation of Dire Dire Docks into it. That's probably just me hearing it, but eh, it's a compliment anyway. Wonderful ReMix.

The beginning funk jam alone was terrific to listen to, especially that effect at around 1:25-1:29, but then the dubstep comes in and everything goes into overdrive. The "Hey, Listen!" sound clip being used in a way that doesn't get annoying is a pretty good feat, so props alone for that. I've said before that Windmill Hut/Song of Storms was my favorite OoT source, and hearing it with his beat is hot. Really digging this.

Oh hell yeah, if that opening isn't enough to get you pumped, you're going to need a shot of adrenaline straight in the heart right now. Such hard-hitting rockin' energy abound, and it's reigned in by an amazing driven guitar riff. This was made for action and I love it. The break at 2:22 was perfect for giving everyone a chance to cool down a tad before going right back into the blistering rock at the end. Awesome stuff, really liked this.

Corridor of Time, one of the themes I've heard on OCR so much that I know it without having had much experience with the game it came from. But that's not a bad thing, because just about every take is different and interesting or at the least enjoyable to listen to, and Argle's take is no different. A great ReMix to listen to with great production. Very nice.

Chopin-esque piano melody driven ReMix of Wrinkly/Peach 64. To which after listening to, I can only say awesome! So peaceful and beautiful, I could easily drift off to sleep listening to this if I was tired enough. I always felt that this theme had elegant potential, but it’s proven here. Great job.

Well, the age does show (which is understandable), and the melody repeats quite a bit, but truthfully, with the source as short as it is, it's hard to do much with it beyond the arrangement. It has lots of energy and enough fun samples to make it worth the listen, but other than that, there's not much else to say.
-
While I do agree with some of the critiques including the midi sounds and repetition in the first half of the ReMix, I do have to say that it is a decent listen. At least there were some changes near the end of the mix, but I would have done a tiny bit of trimming in some areas. Especially like the opening build-up and the overall tense yet energetic vibe I get from this, almost like it was fit for a chase or running bit. Not bad, I can see where I would have loved it when it was originally posted.

Okay, those vocal effects got 100% of my attention when I first heard this back when BnR got released. Between the dark and powerful arrangement being coupled with the vocals, and then having those vocals getting mixed up themselves, this is an awesome ReMix that I've been listening to for a while now, and will continue to enjoy for a long time now. Deia, OA, bravo!

Loving the mix title. This is a little ball of fun, isn't it? Truly something that can make someone happy by listening to it, I'm sure. Some chip, some bounce, a little bit of clock SFX in the beginning and near the end, lots of cool additions and arrangement ideas that make this work. Considering that everyone is saying that it's bit close to the original in certain aspect, I may have to check out this OST soon. Very nice.
-
Humorous and dark, like it really is something that could fit in a Beetlejuice OST nowadays. It's cool to hear Sixto continue to rock out while adding little details to make everything that much better. Lots of fun to be had with this ReMix.
-
This is fantastic. Never gets boring, the energy is just awesome and this is the kind of rave music I'd love to just stick on repeat for a long time. Great use of quick drops at points. Everything ties together. Very good ReMix.

Chiptune rolling star! Woo! I love how I totally can hear the Kirby games inspired style (and certain effects) in this ReMix, as it really does sound like Katamari Damacy driven through a blender filled with certain pink marshmallows.
A great mix of resources and styles to bring about something delightfully happy and insanely fun to listen to over and over again. This is an awesome ReMix, DDRKirby(ISQ). Bravo. -
Definitely has the spirit of Deus Ex in it. It is a fantastic thing to hear an electronic piece that works without being in your face the entire time. A more cerebral electronic ReMix, I would say. Nice mix title (I like that connection), well thought out arrangement and great sounding product overall. Well done.

Solo-piano Zelda piece with some jazzy bits sprinkled everywhere.....man, you really don't need a whole lot more than that to make for an enjoyable ReMix. But the piano work is quality for sure. Beautiful stuff, man.
-
It does have an old-school feel to it while throwing in some good ideas, like the section just around the 2:00 mark. Retro style dance with enough goodies to keep it from getting stale or redundant, that's good enough for me, and while some things could have either been done better or added in to really nail this sucker down, it's still a good mix. Not bad.
-
Rocking ReMix with a bit of an adventurous spacy feel behind it, I'm okay with this. While I do agree with some of the judge's assessments and the fact that this mix seemed to go by quickly, I do like the ReMix overall and for a mix with this much energy, it's fun to listen to. Nice addition to the album indeed.

Man, Aladdin, Jumanji, Flubber, Hook.......his movies, his comedy, and the fact that he loved Zelda so much that he named his daughter after the princess (which is a wonderful thing for a father to do), so much about Robin Williams that I loved and enjoyed throughout my life. Regardless of what led to his passing in this way, I just hope he has found the peace he was after. My condolences to his family.

Aw, hell yeah! Haha, nice, I'm loving this jazzy take on the dark world. See, this is the jazz I like and can get into. Reminds me a little of Jazz Plumber Trio, being that bouncy, smooth jazz that you would hear in those old clubs or coffee-house style joints. Aged or not, this is pretty sweet work from Gux.
-
Well, this is pretty old-school as far as ReMixes go. Not a whole lot to it in terms of change at the start, but then we get the sweet SFX section (which was pretty cool, actually) followed by some piano with beats around it, going into even more old-school style. So while it's true that the melody doesn't really have a lot of change, the arrangement at least changes enough to keep interest and be different. Not my favorite Tetris mix, but not bad.
-
Very nice piano arrangement for a song that was great to begin with. There really isn't a whole lot to say for arrangements other than this other than that it was well done and sounds good. Nice mix to listen to.

Happy Bronxday, José!

For it's age, great sound to it. It's not the most expansive ReMix around, but it does reenforce what was good about the original Blanka theme so well, and the instrumental choice following a world genre is great for Brazil's monster. Certainly not my favorite mix from McVaffe, but a great piece of music at the least.

Here's a game I've heard a bit about but never got around to playing. Voice samples were great for this kind of arrangement, although I can understand why some wouldn't like it as much. There are things that you could pick at, but for an early DJP piece, I'd rather enjoy it for the parts that were awesome, mainly the main melody in my opinion.
