OCR03359 - Mega Man X2 & X3 "(Don't Wanna) Hurt You"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I actually really enjoyed this, both musically and the cheeky Rickroll nods. The vox voice added a lot to the wubby beat and the themes worked well off each other. Very nice ReMix. -
OCR00577 - Super Mario Bros. 2 "Super Buck II"
Crulex replied to orkybash's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Awesome jazzy mix right here. Some parts really got that King Louie vibe and really makes this pop for me. Really stands out as a mix that does the original justice. Well done! -
OCR00558 - Super Mario Bros. 2 "The DarK Underground"
Crulex replied to orkybash's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I actually liked this one, though I will admit my fair share of nitpicks. That one chord hanging on forever and that a whole minute could have been cut from the beginning being the biggest two. But truthfully, really not bad for the source and how you worked with it. The updated version was nice to hear as well, and it was certainly more my speed. -
OCR03971 - Donkey Kong Country "OSHA Violation"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
The drill and clinking glass sound effects were super creative for this, and honestly paired really well with the banjo and vocalizing. It's different and unique and cool, very nice. Great way to use both music and sfx to visualize a setting, though this makes me think of an outdoor country construction job rather than inside a metallic factory. So good. -
OCR03966 - Donkey Kong Country 1 & 2 "Drowning in Brambles"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Taking two of the most unquestionably beautiful themes in the Donkey Kong Country series and combining them into a synth wave audio feast is genius. Honestly, the fact that these songs aren't mixed together more often is surprising to me, but this mix is incredible. All the love in the world for this song. -
OCR03937 - Donkey Kong 64, DKC2 & 1 "Crystalbound Chant"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Absolutely gorgeous ReMix. Nailed the feelings of the levels expertly. I always love hearing mixes like this that take an idea or theme linking multiple sources and wrapping them together and this is no exception. Well done! -
OCR03931 - Donkey Kong Country "Fearless"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Man, I'm glad Emunator submitted this one because it's fucking dope. The arrangement of Fear Factory was already fantastic, but the female vocals took it to another level, especially the "ooooohs" near ends. Recommended as fuck. -
OCR04177 - Mega Man X "Run for Hope"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Intro had me thinking we were going gothic with this at first before it grow into what I'd call a fully realized version of what the original wanted to be. I love ReMixes that take the best parts of an old source and gives them a boost. Highly enjoyed this. -
OCR04003 - Mega Man X5 & X1 "Drop the Façade"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I've often said that Cyril's unique vocal style goes well with harmonized parts and is great for more story driven lyrics, so this plays to all those strengths and sound awesome to me. X vs Zero always felt like a fight that needed that emotional impact, so tossing in a bit of Zero's original theme and the MMX demo song scratches that character itch. Love it. -
OCR03950 - Mega Man X5 & X1 "Firefly"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I've noticed the X5 lends itself well to funkier treatments, so this was another good example of that. The glitching and vocal fx were the spice on top of this sweet groovy mix and I will enjoy having this on my playlist in the future. -
OCR03835 - Mega Man X "Maverick Twilight"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This ReMix really takes the time it's given and uses it well, with various build ups, slow downs and exploring the source completely. Pretty damn good arrangement, and I like how the sfx were integrated at certain points. Very nice debut mix here. -
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.
