OCR02858 - Super Spike V'Ball "Copacabana Beach"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Almost too damn smooth, dude. I feel pretty laid back and cool just listening to this. This is the perfect mood setter for a club or bar or just any kind of relaxing area with a bit of a pulse. Not bad. -
OCR02857 - Army Men: Air Attack "Electro Termites"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Sounds very deliberate and almost assembly line-like at times, which does create a pretty sweet military atmosphere. Perfect for the Army Men. I'm also a fan of the shouts that show up right at the end. -
OCR02856 - Top Gear 2 "Velocity Shift"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Oh this beat is freaking hot! Fast-paced psytrance to just get the blood pumping really does the trick. Very nice ReMix, I'm really NutS over this one. -
Oh hey it's my birthday... and here's a present!
Crulex replied to Omni-Psyence's topic in General Discussion
Happy birthday! Hope you enjoy it! -
This is beautiful man. Seriously, that piano and the guitar as well as the other instruments were fine on their own, but then Dale's voice comes in and just blows everything out of the water. While having one verse at the end kinda makes me wish he just went ahead and at least started a little earlier because it makes you want a little more, it's nice for a replay effect when you don't see it coming.

Drop Mt. Koltz in the middle of Spain and it'd be perfect. The "Uno, Dos, Tres, Four!" thing is going to be a running gag around here, I can tell. Honestly, this has the perfect spanish flavor and sounds gorgeous. Flamenco at some of it's best, especially when the vocals popped in near the end and onwards past that. I'm really feeling this, especially the ending. So good.

OCR02855 - Mega Man X6 & X "Stealth Chameleon"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This was one of my favorites in that compo and I'm glad it passed the panel. Funky, groovy, whatever you want to call it, this is one hell of a sexy ReMix. Nice work with the imagery in your description and the intruder detected clip. -
OCR00066 - King of Fighters '98 "Ghetto Recursive"
Crulex replied to Joe Redifer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I love classic OCR for this very reason. I actually like this with all the scratches, seeing as scratches has become a fun novelty to play with. Sounds like the soul of the 90's ghetto scene, and I can't help but crack a smirk at this. -
OCR02853 - Shadow Warrior "Wang. You Want?"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
While the first half of the ReMix really poured some sweet Asian instrumentation my way, which I'm almost always a fan of, hearing the rest of the ReMix pick up some electronic dubawubs and give it an extra kick was pretty cool was well. Normally I don't have an issue with fade endings, but I'm with Brandon on this one. It seemed like there was still too much energy and wubbing going on for a fade. A little slow-down or breaking it down to the basic beats before that would have been ace, I think. That aside, after listening to this a few times, I can safely say that this is definitely something I want. Damn good debut, man! -
Happy actual birthday, Meteo! Have a sweet one!

OCR02852 - Bubble Bobble "Bubble Dragon"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
When MusicHunter brought this up and I saw it, I had it on repeat for a good while. This is a great ReMix for Bubble Bobble, and it's nice to hear a more poppy style of arrangement for this song, since it's often made to be super upbeat and sugary, aside from the "twins" that DJP mentioned. There's probably several things that folks can like or not like about this ReMix depending on your taste since there is a lot going on, vocally and musically, but it's definitely worth the listening experience for the imagery, game-specific lyrics, the actual music itself and of course the video that goes with it. Not my favorite take on Bubble Bobble, but it's insanely close and I can really respect this ReMix. Totally downloading. -
Wow, this is a sweet find! Looks like a successful music hunt you've brought us.

OCR02850 - Final Fantasy V "Boss Key"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Oh hell yeah! This is great in terms of aggressiveness and bringing that high energy impact that make these sources pop together. Very nice work, Norg. -
OCR02484 - Harvest Moon "Four Seasons of the Blues"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
The raw, live feeling of this ReMix is actually nice to hear. And I'm definitely enjoying the context of the lyrics along with the sources used. A tip of the hat to the female/male vocal duet, especially starting at 3:05, cause that was gold. While I could go into the things that I wasn't so crazy about, like the ending just being just a stop, there's really nothing to complain about that would deal break this mix to me. I'd love to hear more from these fellas. -
OCR02483 - Doom Troopers "Fire Move"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This just screams "go, go, go!" type of action that does not want to stop for even a second. That solo was great and hits a sweet spot with me. With this type of energetic arrangement, the speed kinda makes it feel even shorter than it really is though. Wish the ReMix was a little longer, especially for the pace it was going in, but for what was here, I liked it. Good pick-up and get going ReMix -
OCR02482 - Final Fantasy VI "Ruffneck Terra"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Dubstep chiptune ReMix. That alone is a fascinating choice for an arrangement. Luckily halc is the type of artist who can pull it off in a classy way. Terrific ReMix of Terra and Awakening in a very interesting style that I would mind hearing more of. Also, that section between 2:45-3:00, damn fine bit work, man! -
OCR02481 - Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask "Shikashi's Dream"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
That intro set the stage for the rest of the ReMix very well. Picking it up at that the yell was a good mark to it, and this really does come off as a cinematic ending, although I see it more as a game ending than a movie score. Either way, it fits that tone of summing things up. Good debut ReMix with this one. -
OCR02848 - Wild Arms "Optimist Prime"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
An upbeat ReMix like this is completely welcomed on those "blah" days. It's got the right about of cheer without going overboard and enough of a good beat to lift your own energy and spirits to get you going. Also digging the clever title. -
OCR02849 - Kirby's Dream Land "Dream Land Dance Party"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
So much happiness and joy contained in one little mix. I swear most of these Kirby mixes are like candy full of sugar, and I'm okay with that. Nice glitching effects and sweet arrangement overall. -
OCR01127 - Resident Evil 2 "Ada's Groove"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This has a pretty hot beat, that's for sure. Some of the background breaks and variations reminds me of the style SF3 had, specifically at 2:11-2:21. Definitely a classic mix. -
Well, I'm on the upper end of PA. Still cold as hell here though.........

OCR02847 - Mega Man 6 "Quirón's Mallets"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
As someone who can really get behind mallets, marimbas and such, I actually liked the intro. It was a nice lead into the rest of the ReMix, kinda like taking an acoustic guitar and using that to lead into a heavier form of rock, if you know what I mean. The flute added a hell of a lot of character and I'm enjoying the overall production quality. Even being over three minutes, it left me wanting more in a good way. Awesome ReMix, man. -
OCR02492 - Silver Surfer "Wanking with the Alien"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Very clever to use the mix title and the ReMix itself to make things come full circle from Joe Satriani's own references. Still, pretty good ReMix with a nice chunk of classic rock vibe. So glad to hear some of the Follin bros' work get some love in this style. -
Happy belated Birthday! Let us raise up our McRibs in celebration!
