  1. When you look past the fact this was way back in the earliest of OCR days, I can only imagine what this would have turned into if it was put into an updater machine, because this has some great ideas, if anything. Kinda short and there is always a minor detail to pick on, but for the most part it's not bad.
  2. I liked you guys' first Golden Sun ReMix, sure. But this, however, I think is much better in just about every aspect. It's awesome. I love the amount of variety in the arrangement of this ReMix, ranging from the heavy rock style that is perfect for a battle track, to the bit of chip bit at 2:28 and the slower, more deliberate rock near the end. The production sounds clean and the ReMix itself sounds very natural and authentic musically. Nice job, fellas.
  3. Beautiful ReMix indeed. This fits an underwater or bay area scene so well, I love it. The piano just glides around the bells and the light percussion and it sounds peaceful. Absolutely beautiful work for a mix that was made so long ago. Nice job Wingless.
  4. I find it interesting that some people barely hear any source and others can pinpoint it out. I don't have a problem at all hearing the source, but that doesn't mean anything. Just something I found funny for myself. And with that out of the way, the song's arrangement of funky electronica is terrific in it's own right. Well produced, liberal enough to expand and actually rearrange the tune while still maintaining enough of the original to truly make it a ReMix.
  5. Best of luck to him with his treatments!
  6. Gorgeous ReMix. The build is incredibly epic right up until the highest peak and carries on to the very end, where we get a nice outro that lets the arrangement take a breath. Sweet as hell debut, Zack.
  7. Someone put a Lemon in our lime. And it's a very good thing considering the ReMix we've found with it. Very cool electronica chiptune arrangement and a great amount of direction throughout the mix to keep it fresh. While the energy is static, like DJP mentioned, I think the style this ReMix was done in and the way it was mix more than makes up for any real nitpicking. A job well done, Hylian Lemon.
  8. It does have that sort of whimsically powerful darkness about it that I could hear in a movie. Sounds just like the kind of arrangement that would fit a Final Fantasy 4 movie score for the dungeons, because it has those deary booming bassoons that turns into more of the same with fantastical lifts dancing around them. Got a small shade of Potter vibe in some areas, but just a little one. Like everyone else mention, the thing is overly quiet and I had to turn the volume up just to hear the ReMix, but after that, not bad.
  9. For the fair bit of age it has, this still sounds rather good with it's slick, hoppin' laid-back arrangement that makes it perfect for it's namesake London drizzle. Love that piano work. McVaffe, man, nice work on this awesome ReMix track.
  10. Yeah, I'm with you on that. I actually don't even hate the Final Fantasy X-2 music either. I liked both games and OSTs for the most part. Not sure about original opening to Street Fighter 4 now since people seem to have warmed up to it over the years, but it seemed like I was the only one to like it when it first came out.
  11. So yeah, if this was sped up, it really would be in the realm of Hawaiian polka and chicken dance and such. I don't know, I kinda like it for the arrangement idea of taking the shop theme and throwing a happy half-goofy tropical overlay on it. Not groundbreaking at all and as others have said, certain samples and production values aren't as good as others, but it's fun to listen to a couple of times.
  12. Ah, the atmosphere! Really is relaxing and chill, reminds me of something out of a puzzle game or the like. Wonderful guitar work from Viking Guitar (obviously), and the rest of the ReMix, especially the piano, sounded sweet. Cool stuff.
  13. I'm glad DJP brought up the split-second Castlevania feeling riff at 1:22, because it shows I'm not hearing things. Lots of funky energy on this sexy jazzy mix. Fantastic work, Sir J.
  14. The amount of energy in this one, It's like pure musical sugar. Nice to hear a chiptune piece go all out crazy like this.
  15. Now that is what a champion battle is supposed to sound like. Lots of intensity and lots of power. Awesome ReMix.
  16. As if I needed any more reasons to like Gilbert Gottfried, we get this. Get over here.......TOASTY!
  17. Well, this is about as straightforward as it gets, really. It is pretty close to the original, but there is some personalization with the drums and beats, so it has a little something to separate it from the Mario theme. It's not bad, and I even like it because it's basically a spruced up version of the original, but you can definitely see the standards change when looking at this compared to a couple years later.
  18. The use of Scorpion's spear hook is actually a really nice touch and fits right in with the rest of this arrangement. Doesn't exactly hold up after so many years, but it doesn't sound terrible either. I kinda agree with Vilecat, I actually don't think it was too repetitive (not as bad as some mixes, anyway), but it ran a little long near the end when you total everything up. Good for letting it play in the back while doing other things, I'd say.
  19. PrototypeRaptor! It's always good to hear a ReMix from this guy, especially a terrific electronic mix of Tornado Man's theme. Pretty sweet work with the vocals added in. Loving the ReMix title as well. A+ ReMix, fella.
  20. Intro reminds me of someone putting a ball in a silver bowl and letting it roll around the edge. Not a bad thing at all, just funny to me. Interesting take on the file select theme and I liked the style switch to the more piano-centric arrangement at 2:20. Have to agree with OA that I would have loved to hear it swing back to the previous style before ending to get that nice "sandwich of arrangements" technique, but I can't really complain about what you have here. Cool stuff, man.
  21. Sounds fine to me even with it being started, fixed, updated and retooled over the years. Nice to see it finally get to a point where it could be passed. That ending section is a beauty of a part and the rest of the ReMix has moments where I really enjoyed the arrangement direction. Not bad, man.
  22. Wow. The percussion of this ReMix marching along ahead the melody is crazy good. Very upbeat and adding that little bit of rock with the flute just lets the whole mix soar. An amazing ReMix of Wings and another great track from Ziwtra. Really enjoying this one.
