For an early hip-hop ReMix, this really has the feel of some early in-game hip-hop I've heard, so in a way, it really fits as a bit of an upgrade to the ActRaiser source. The voices working in and out of the mix were a nice touch.

I really enjoyed this take on Cid's FFIV theme. Probably the best arrangement of this source I've heard to date. The synth guitar sounds pretty nice and in-line to what I'd expect from an older Final Fantasy track. The ending is pretty quick to appear, but that's not much of an issue compared to the rest of the mix. Others may have some nitpicks beyond that, but I can't see anything that ruins it for me. Overall, I like this. Nice work.

Well, it's a bit odd and the beat of the groove throws me off a little, but considering what was being shot for, I can understand some of the decisions made here. Personally not my favorite mix by you as a matter of taste, but nice work on creating something coherent and put-together with many smaller themes in it.

Air Man is one of the few Mega Man themes I can pick up within the first five seconds, seeing as I'm still new to the series and to hear it combined with a bit of Wily's 5th castle sounds great. Guitar playing was well done by both artists and I enjoyed the arrangement in general. Nicely done.

Nice, first Little Mac and now Pac-Man! The more news that comes out, the more hyped I get!

Gorgeous piano work here. This is an absolutely lovely mix and I totally dig the summertime rain vibe shot for. Like Brandon said, the pacing and actual performance of this piece is just fantastic. Going to have to add this to my playlist.
-
Now this is a mix that is in the "holding up" section. The balance between the bass and the forefront melody is great and helps the e-piano set the mood of a relaxing, yet fun and toe-tapping location. So chill.
-
Hmmm, well, I can at least support this much more than the Tetris mix, but again, enough with the claps, man. Lots of jumping around and special effects going on that just kinda go through the motions of this kind of arrangement. Not digging the piano so much either. Something sounds a little off to me. And the sudden ending is a no-no to me. Guess I could at least highlight the beat near the end of the mix, but other than that, I didn't care for this one, sorry.

This one isn't my favorite among the older DJP ReMixes, but the low-fi arrangement and synths did their job and kept my attention. I can hear the production age and it is a bit short. All my nitpicking aside, though, truthfully, I do enjoy this ReMix as an older classic and I can respect the work that went into this one and the ReMix itself for what it is.
-
That bass is terrific for melding with the beat and bells that dance around it. Has a little bit of an ominous tone at some points, which was cool to hear with a rave arrangement like this. A little bit too loud at times, but other than that, it holds up fairly well.
-
It's an odd piece to me, but certainly not a bad one. The drum beat and scratches working alongside the piano sounded good and the samples were done in a way that they seemed to aid the ReMix, rather than just appear and possibly hinder it, which is definitely a plus. Nice work.
-
Congrats Cyril! Many wonderful and happy years for the couple!

Ah, Chicago! One of the few Perfect Dark tracks I've listened to over and over again. The crackling effects and distortion on some of the samples and the overall sound helped make this ReMix perfectly dark (no pun intended) and haunting. Has a lot of sorrow from the piano and spooky qualities from everything else, and that's not something I often hear together on the same song. Pretty good ReMix, I'd have to say.
-
The wildlife and nature sounds set this apart from the other Waterfall ReMixes on the same album, and sounds oddly peaceful and almost like a waterfall’s base, giving off a picture of beautiful sights, rather than the dangerous cliffs that lie higher above. Truly a gorgeous ReMix.

Happy Birthday halc!

Holy crap it's finally on the OCR front page! I'm beyond happy see this legendary ReMix from DoD days past here, it sounds better than ever thanks to the reworking and remastering of it. To say that this is anything less than a classic would be a shame. I love the ska section in the Kakariko Village part, the chilling church part and the work that went into the Dungeons, Ganon and the Hyrule Castle. Even the transitions back and forth between the dark world and the fairies was a nice touch that I gotta note. Cool to see how much this has been improved and even though I loved the original, this is really awesome. If you're a Zelda fan, especially of Link to the Past, there is no reason not to download this. So freaking recommended.
-
Man, I'd love to say something different, but it's been pretty much summed up by others. Samples are weak, the arrangement doesn't offer a whole lot that hasn't been done with Tetris before and the clapping.........way to much clapping. Sorry, not a fan of this one.
-
Nice to see this one hold up better than other ReMixes. Probably just me, but the only issue I have here is that the synth is one notch too sharp for me at first, but after that it's not quiet that bad. Other than that minor point (which is, again, just me) this is a decent mix with a good beat.
-
Shame that the sample age and usual weaknesses of older ReMixes shows up here. The arrangement notation has a good direction and I am getting an MMX fortress vibe out of it, so it has at least that much going for it.
-
Happy belated birthday!

That's an incredibly sexy sax we have going on in this ReMix. Honestly, I liked the piano myself, but I could understand where the judges were coming from with their critiques. Matter of taste, I guess. For a source (or two, or an entire game for that matter) that has been done an awful lot, it's still great to hear a nice, new arrangement from other ReMixers. Good stuff, guys.
-
Oh man that sax worked so well in this one. Not a bad ReMix at all, and the inclusion of the Flav sample as well as switching up the styles as the mix went along definitely justified turning a short source into a four minute song. Nice work.
-
Title pretty much says it all. There's a lot of heavy rawk in this one and it hits with a lot of force. Pretty good stuff from DusK.

Okay, so hearing the other version on his actual site, I can at least retract several comments I would have made about the loud hissing noises, a couple (not all, but some) off-key notes in the organ and guitar and it does sound better there than in the preview here. It's not night and day, but it's immensely more tolerable on his actual site to say the least. Not really digging the fade-out ending, and not because it's a fade-out, but because I think an actual melodically driven ending would have been better, but that's just me.

Nice, chill, hip-hoppish ReMix of Hyrule Castle, sweet. Almost makes me think of a couple of hyrule solders just cruising down a street in a top-down with bandanas on their heads with this in the background, which is funny enough. Po is the master of chill grooves, and I have to say that I liked this mix.
