Being a huge SF2 and TMNT IV fan, I'm a little ashamed that the Fei Long and Bury my Shell similarity never hit me until now. But man, this has got to be one of my favorite ReMixes off the album. I always loved the source since I was a kid, and those "hey!"'s coming out of the SNES at that time was the coolest voice clip I heard at the time.Thrilled that you were able to fit those into this mix. Loving the progression of the ReMix as it goes on, from the slow western vibe to the heavy "what I was hoping for" rock part, and even up to the "surf segment" which kinda made me chuckle, but was enjoyable all the same. Excuse me while I take this ReMix and rock out like it was 1885 (cause, you know, that was the date this stage was supposed to be on....and.....yeah....).

OCR00071 - Mega Man 3 "Blue Bomber Forever"
Crulex replied to Joe Redifer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Normally I don't take issue with voice clips, but there were some here (especially the opening one) that I just really didn't care for. That being said, the rest of the ReMix has some nice ideas and with the switching of sources, it never gets stale. Really shows how far an incredible mixer like Mustin can go over the years. -
OCR00068 - Final Fantasy VI, VII, VIII & I "North Medley"
Crulex replied to Joe Redifer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
On a personal note, going from FFVII's theme to Terra to Aria de Mezzo Carattere in that exact order hits me in the arrangement feels, because that writing catered a little to me. I may not be the biggest Final Fantasy fan around, but some songs I adore, and this ReMix puts a lot of them together, so I liked it for the writing alone. Has a classic feel to the production, but nothing that outright bugged me. -
OCR00067 - Mega Man 2 "Flash Fire"
Crulex replied to Joe Redifer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Not bad for a refreshed sounding version of Flashman's theme. I can certainly agree that while this isn't the greatest thing since sliced bread, it does have an HD/Remaster quality about it that seems to take the original up a notch or two. -
OCR02862 - Kirby's Dream Land "Kirby's Cabbage Salad"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Dude, that part right after the first minute literally made me look back at the screen to see if I left another tab on. Pretty weird, but listening to it for a sixth time now, it's not as jarring as it was the first time around. Wild and crazy, but it works. -
OCR02861 - Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time "Generations"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Oh, dear lord, Jill's voice has always been great, but man this is by far my favorite piece of her vocal work that I've heard so far. I think it might be the tribal and airy style of the vocals that Strader pointed out that I enjoyed so much. Hypnotic in an absolutely beautiful way, and I'd be in error if I didn't say how great the actual music that XPRTNovice, zircon and DrumUltima turned out together in this one was. A+ collab here, you guys nailed it. -
Happy birthday Furilas! Have a great one!

OCR02860 - Chrono Trigger "Crow Note Rigger"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I'm actually impressed that this was made on a DS program. With the software samples I've heard on similar products, that sounds pretty tough because of certain limits, but you were able to do it and create something great in the style of stylistic jazz that comes off like a cheesy cop show (totally a good thing) and neat to hear. Hats off to you for proving once again that it's all about what you do with your tools, not the tools themselves. Damn good work, man. -
OCR02859 - Yoshi Touch & Go "Cloudhopping"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
The ReMix title is so appropriate for this ReMix. Definitely hearing some of the influences that helped inspire some of the direction in this mix, which was great. Wonderful blending of sources and ace production. Very fun, great mix guys! -
Happy Chimpaday!!! Bananas all around!

Happy birthday, Ivan! -
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.
