OCR02991 - Metal Slug 4 "Eau Charix"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Well, it gets the vibe of a tense battle down, that's for sure. I dig the organ and the arrangement itself. While there are some points where it gets a little too heavy, there isn't really anything that would turn me off of this mix. Nice. -
OCR02990 - Street Fighter II "The Eyepatch of the Tiger"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
There does seem to be something about Sagat's stage that lends itself to this kind of jazz really well. It just fits like a glove. I never really cared for Sagat's theme in it's original form, so I safely say that I would be all for hearing this anytime instead. Very good. Loving the e-piano here, man. Well done. -
Happy Birthday Brandon!

Gotta love the aggression used on this one. Heavy and hard, this is much better than I would have hoped for in a different take on the Unforgiven. Much better. Nice work indeed.

OCR02987 - Castlevania: Bloodlines "Satanic Spire"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Oh god yes.....this is absolutely amazing! My kind of dark ReMix right here! The evil choir, the bells, the creepy synth, and that scream! Damn, man, there is nothing about this ReMix I could complain about. Awesome work, Gario! -
OCR02985 - Dynamite Headdy "Zenpyo!"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Metal with some Eastern instruments and tones, nice! It really comes off unique and odd at several points (good for the most part), but I think this ReMix somehow pulls everything together to make a great track. I like this one, not bad at all. Great collab, fellas. -
OCR02988 - Sonic the Hedgehog 2 "Biohazard"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I like how the game plan here wasn't "let's make this as fast and/or powerful as possible" as per usual with Chemical Plant mixes and has a long-drawn out progression to it. Not saying that anything else is bad at all (I actually like fast and powerful), but it's just refreshing to hear the details of the build to this one. I love the "just getting started!" voice clip. I feel like I know what that is from or have heard it before (I think), but damn it if I can't remember exactly where. I hate when that happens. Anyway, awesome mix, Jake. You've really done well here. -
Loving this light Green Hill ReMix which the little bit of fun stuck in all around it. This is the kind of arrangement I've been looking forward to, having heard things like Metal and Atmospheric ReMixes of Green Hill before. The violin really helps make this ReMix that much better to listen to. Great debut for Skolar and terrific work from both men indeed.

OCR02984 - Doom Troopers "Skull-Head"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I'm okay with metal and mallets. Hell, I don't even have an issue with the piano. It did sound like to me that the piano was a bit quiet compared to everything else, but honestly, this was a nice blend of things that normally wouldn't think of that end up sounding good. Nice. -
OCR02983 - Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker "Forever Yours"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Ah, Kaijin. Been a long time coming for a return of another fantastic emotive and warm ReMix from you, and you have done a fine job with this piece. I could really enjoy outside traveling to this one. Well done. -
Congrats to all the new judges and mod-man!

This certainly creates an unsettling atmosphere and I can definitely hear the whole Aliens/Sci-fi vibe with certain sounds. This is a nice, gritty, dark ReMix that deserves the name "cancer". Great Metroid mix.

[KotR][2014] Doubles Tourney: Round 1 - Tinker Knight vs. Shield Knight
Crulex replied to DarkeSword's topic in Public Voting
Jason Covenant -
Kooky and crazy, straight out of a cartoon as DJP already mentioned. So playful and humorous, this is my kind of song. It’s like the Kong’s are getting into all kinds of mischief in the jungle and we get to hear it. Bonus points for amazing marimba and xylophone work. I love hearing those instruments in action.

OCR02979 - Chrono Trigger "Jewel of Enhasa"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
The background beat had me hooked from the very first second. Spectacular violin work from Tera C, and the atmoshpere of this arrangement is just so dang pretty. I guess you can say this Jewel of Enhasa ReMix is quite the gem. -
OCR02978 - Xenogears "(You Give Me) Wings"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Damn. This is the kind of positive power anthem I need to get my ass in gear when it's time to work nowadays. Probably my favorite hakstok ReMix thus far. Such radical energy, like a shot of positive adrenaline. Love this so much. -
OCR02976 - Chrono Trigger "In the Green Gloom"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Now this is ambiance that doesn't ever even come close to being boring. Something like this is peaceful, tranquil and beautiful, and it says something when you can make an ambient ReMix that goes six minutes long seem to pass by in half the time. The instruments, the effects, the mid-mix vox, everything just seems to be engaging to listen to. Outstanding work. -
OCR02975 - Chrono Cross "Cruisin' (Live Edit)"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
The live indie feel of this makes for a nice change of pace and I dig the audience noise because it's different from most other tracks. The combination of guitar and accordion was awesome as well. Ivan has certainly delivered with this ReMix. -
OCR02977 - Final Fantasy X "Zanarkand String Quartet"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I've always thought Zanarkand was a beautiful source, and this is just plain gorgeous. I'm not the biggest connoisseur of classical music or the like, but I do enjoy string instruments, especially quartets, so hearing Zanarkand with those instruments were something I could get behind. Close to the original in it's melody, but still different enough in arrangement to be it's own piece, truly a wonderful ReMix. -
OCR02974 - Super Mario 64 "Wings to the Sky"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Classic halc 9-bit goodness, but with extra goodies and fun inside! I absolutely loved the section right after the second minute and the way this ReMix sort of glided to a stop was very nice. Pretty hot take on some good ol' Powerful Mario. -
OCR02973 - Super Mario 64 "Devastation's Duel"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This is the kind of ReMix Bowser expects and demands. Power, aggression, coolness and badassitude. The little jazz break early on seemed odd, but somehow fit in, which was interesting to me. Not saying anything bad, just wasn't expecting it, but glad to hear it in there. This is one hell of a collab and a ReMix I will have on my playlist forever. So good! -
OCR02972 - Super Mario 64 "Roads to Everywhere"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
See, now, this is the kind of ReMix that is magic to me. I can hear every bit of the original, but this arrangement takes it and reimagines it in a way that makes it fresh and different. This is where I love the balance. And props for the mix of acoustics and the tropical party section. Perfect mix to chill out and enjoy life with. -
OCR02970 - Super Mario 64 "Find the Red Coin"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I've always loved the misty cave vibe SM64 gave the old underground theme, and to hear it taken in this downtempo'ed, beat heavy way. Has a little bit of mystery feeling in the undertones while the beat keeps everything exciting, especially later on in the ReMix. I thought that was cool and makes me enjoy this ReMix just as much, if not more, than the blue coin version. Great job, Sole Signal. -
OCR02969 - Mega Man 5 & 1 "Walking Weapons Unit"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Count me in with the group that enjoys the style being used for this. Napalm Man and ElecMan seem to have extremely mashable themes, so hearing them come together this seamlessly isn't a shock, but it is fun to hear. I, too, was expecting a louder, harder take on the themes from the name and because it's Willrock, but this peacefully rocking arrangement is terrific anyway, so well done.
