OCR04663 - Super Mario Bros. 3 "Jump and Flare"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Airship theme with the intensity of Doom is pretty sick, as was giving the koopa kids fight a similar style treatment. Guitar work was dope and I'm happy to hear the drums at the beginning hit as hard as they should. This is awesome all around. -
OCR04673 - Mario Kart 64 "Watery Graves! Majestic Views!"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Wow, this was something fun. It kinda felt like listening to the idea of concept of space and ocean colliding, so dimensional sounds about right. Trippy, weird, neat. I'd file it more under an experience and ambiance than song, but not bad at all considering the sources. -
OCR04653 - Shovel Knight "Mole Total Destroy"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Pretty heavy stuff, and while I admit screamo isn't my cup of tea and sometimes the music was louder than the vocals, altogether this felt like a solid ReMix. Really liked the violin for the time it was there. -
OCR04628 - Donkey Kong Country 2 "Truthful Symphony"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Sexy sax, clean electric guitar and oozing with triumphant 80's energy, this is an awesome arrangement. Loved this one. -
OCR03442 - Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past "Divinity"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Quite the sexy jazzy blues number we've got here, but that's no surprise for Nostalvania, who has the art of funk mastered. So smooth and enjoyable, well done. -
OCR04607 - Donkey Kong Country 2 "Prismatic"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Synthwave Mining Melancholy! Hell yeah, give me that chill neon vibe anytime. I personally enjoyed the vocal samples (also curious of the source). Terrific mix of one of my favorite DKC songs, definitely going on my mp3. Also, had no idea about the dkc 3 gba fact, so that was cool too. -
OCR04597 - Mario Kart 64 "Troppe Houseland"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Great mix with lots of fun, boppin' energy, almost like a beach party, so I definitely agree with the alternative koopa beach idea. Loved the addition of Toad's sfx. Very nice. -
OCR04585 - Pokémon Red Version "Look at All the Ships!"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Pure cinema in musical form, this is so much fun and the whimsical and grand arrangement of it all really reminds me of old classic animated films. Such a good ReMix! -
OCR04561 - Minecraft "Meditations on a Beam of Light"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
As someone who fully fell into the Minecraft hole last year, that piano loop has been the background opening to sighs of relief and letting go of a lot of stress on some more unfortunate days on my end. So hearing this be transformed into a beautiful, calming meditation piece with chimes and such is awesome and brings me some subtle joy. -
OCR04571 - Donkey Kong Country 2 "Kannonball"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Keeps things close to the source, but with an extra punch of funk and some excellent electric guitar makes this an example of how to make something your own while honoring the spirit of the tune. Well done, great mix of Mining Melancholy. Y'all absolutely did my favorite DKC 2 theme justice. -
This is fantastic. I love how it starts off with a deliberate pace that almost sounds menacing before kicking off with that faster beat that I'm used to for the Beep. Glad to hear the whistle scratch sound included throughout the mix, it really ties the whole thing together. If detailing the stage aesthetics through the music was the plan, it worked. Very nice.

OCR03876 - Donkey Kong Country "Blazing Mines"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Between the percussion and the guitar, this mix is fucking clean, and the soloing is so good. Love the personalization here. Yeah, thoroughly liked this. -
OCR03790 - Mega Man X1 & X3 "Red Shifting Drift"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Whoa, the chiptune and orchestral really blended together in an unexpected way. Not something I would have expected or thought about, but I really dig the contrast. Super unique and for these two tunes, it fits together. So much gelling going on here, I like it. -
OCR04551 - Super Mario World "Yoshi Dorifto"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Two things make a Eurobeat mix shine for me, and that's consistent energy of the faster kind, and writing/arrangement that keeps it interesting and exciting. This ReMix checks off both and doesn't try to go overboard either. Damn good balance and a great mix of Athletic. -
OCR04535 - Mass Effect "Sol Searching"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I love me some heavy dark synth wave, but toping it off with ambient vocals and an absolute jaw dropping guitar portion made this beyond fantastic. I think I heard the AA nod, but not sure. Gonna half to listen a few more times to be sure, and then a hundred times more just because this ReMix is that damn good. Hella recommended. -
OCR01194 - Street Fighter II "Go Home and Be a Family Man"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Great guitar playing, solid arrangement and good enough focus on keeping the feel of Guile's theme going until it's time to evolve to some original parts. Not my favorite ReMix of this theme, but still fun to listen to. Not bad. -
OCR01001 - Street Fighter II "Sagat's Moonbike"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Best part of this ReMix for me was definitely the piano and xylophone playing, but the arrangement as a whole was very sweet. Normally audio switching in headsets bug me, but the smoothness of how it was done here was more trippy and enjoyable rather than distracting. Really good take on this theme. -
OCR00964 - Street Fighter II "Guile's Theme (R.A.H. Mix)"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
You know, there's something about not going absolutely crazy on the mix that makes me like this ReMix even more in a way. It's got it's own flavor in addition to the melody we all love, and the original bit in the middle before the source melody comes back was well done. Really jamming to this one here. -
OCR03873 - Donkey Kong Country "The teCtonic reCords"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This type of calm edm ReMix gives me the idea of what it it would sound like to give words like relief and satisfaction a musical representation. It sounds good and there's a beat there, but it it's soothing in a way. Quite liked this a lot. -
Kinda agree with DJP on this one, I got a more bluesy, slower Floyd feeling out of this one, and it's not a direction I think of in combination often, but it sounds great. A terrific ballad for sure, and while I prefer definitive endings instead of what I call drift endings myself, this still worked for me. Very nice.

OCR00268 - Super Mario Bros. 2 "Insomnic"
Crulex replied to m68030's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Older and dated and it shows, but honestly, still fun to listen to in it's simplicity and wasn't grating on my ears, so good enough for me. Good energy carries this for me, so it's fine for me, but just that. -
OCR00466 - Street Fighter II "Retro Russian"
Crulex replied to Ginnsu's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Love that baseline and the smoother, more focused attention to Zangief's theme here. Could nitpick certain things, and in particular I wasn't into the "claps", but overall for the time, it delivered on the retro idea and was enjoyable enough. Not bad.
