OCR02500 - Mega Man 3 "Hot Pursuit in the Lost City of Wily"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Disco Dan is one of those classic ReMixers that you just love to listen to, be it new or older stuff, and to hear his take on Dr. Wily's 2nd stage from MM3 (which is one of my favorite Wily castle themes) is terrific. Love the electronica/dance work here, mostly because of the arrangement and the placement and build of the energy. What I mean is it doesn't come off as menacing but it's certainly built as a more dire trek than the more heroic takes on themes like this and Wily 1 from MM2 that I've heard. Fits the fight against Wily a bit better to me. Nice work, Disco Dan! -
OCR02502 - Final Fantasy XII "RabaNasty"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Funky and fun as hell, man. This has my foot bouncing all over the place. It's awesome to see such a lively synth filled ReMix of Rabanastre. -
OCR02501 - Wizards & Warriors "Wizard's Bride"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Those booms were like a musical explosion! Good job pulling that off so cleanly. Good to hear Mazedude put his touch all over this kind of arrangement to make it such a tough sounding yet folkish-hued ReMix. -
Happy belated birthday, Palpable! Hope yesterday rocked for you!

Happy Birthday Bundeslang!

OCR02450 - Red Zone "The Broken Front"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Sounds absolutely warlike in it's metal. Just the right combination of aggression, energy and ass-kickin' rhythm. It's pretty sweet to see how this ReMix varies itself up as it goes along, which makes it that much easier to pay full attention. Wonderful ReMix, DusK, very strong first mixpost. -
OCR02448 - PaRappa the Rapper "A Lesson from Teacher"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Oh yeah, love the gritty robotic vocal clips in this! So much fun listening to this ReMix because of it. The electronica underneath it is smooth and sounds incredible. I can hear what DJP said about the Mortal Kombat kind of idea, but honestly, this is an awesome arrangement of one of the few Parappa songs I can stand, so well done, Anti-Syne! -
Interesting sound coming off the synths and the e-piano, but they work well together with the guitar to make a wonderful ReMix. Has a nice upbeat feeling to it, and while I also wish there was a little more past the ending solo, that's only because it was built up so well up to that point. Nice work, Ivan, and great ReMix!

OCR02774 - Wild Arms "There in My Dreams"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Somber and sad, but it does have a hopeful and meaningful message in the lyrics. Really sounds gorgeous for that very reason, along with the instrument choices. You guys' vocals sounded pretty good as well, bringing that emotion out of the ReMix. All in all, sounds great to me. -
Happy birthday to one of the best! Have a great one, Sixto!

Happy Capaday!

Oh man, I love this. So smooth and chill, and it's actually the kind of chill that can let you wind down while tapping your toes. That trumpet was terrific and certainly makes up for anything that could be nitpicked at with this ReMix. Honestly, between the arrangement style being well executed and the way I loved how Lava Reef was used, A+ from me.

OCR02773 - Gunstar Heroes "Challenge Accepted!"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Odd intro, but very cool nonetheless. Powerful hits from the drums, and the electronica sounded great with the guitar providing some extra oomph to it. Great birthday debut, man! -
OCR02459 - Mega Man X5 "Zero's Plight"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I'm shocked that I haven't reviewed this yet. Fantastic atmosphere in this ReMix, which is why it's one of the best off the Maverick Rising album. Tight, surrounding trance with a great beat, certainly makes for an entertaining ReMix to me. Nice going! -
Happy birthday, man!

OCR02445 - Super Metroid "Metroid Legacy"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Very beginning reminds me almost like something out of an N+ game. I personally don't think it was too short, as it was about three minutes long, but it is a ReMix that seems to go by quickly because it's built up so impressively and flows like a river, which I think is nice. Great addition to the album and one of my favorites from it. -
OCR02444 - Crystalis "A Tale of the God Slayer"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I like the progression this ReMix makes from the more orchestral end to the aggressive metal sections later on. The menacing vibe it gives off as it builds up just makes it that much more satisfying when the metal comes on full force. Not bad at all, man! -
OCR02772 - Super Mario World "Bowser's Castle"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Oooh, yeah! Totally loving this! I've always thought that the Castle themes in SMW were a nice mix of elegance and evil in their melodies, and Critical Hit fleshed the hell out of that idea with the violin, cello, piano and guitar here. Man, cool ReMix. You folks are awesome! -
OCR02771 - Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion "The Wandering Hero"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Oh, man, I'm just digging the breakbeat drums and the electric guitar work in this ReMix. And of course anything with some nice piano in it is music to my ears. Sweet stuff here, Argle! -
OCR02770 - Castlevania II "Tears of Blood"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This is a combination of various ideas that seems to have turned out pretty good, I'd say. Glitchy electronica that screams robotica with some of Morse's classic style is an awesome match. Great work, Morse! -
OCR02768 - Castlevania: Bloodlines "Prussian Bones"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I love the fact that the electronic synthesizers here make it reminiscent of older style game soundtracks, while using the more orchestral strings to pump some extra life into the arrangement. -
OCR02769 - Castlevania "I Am Dracula (Club Mix)"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This is one hot beat! This is my kind of pure dance/club ReMix, and to throw in some classic NES sound and voice clips, makes for a very enjoyable Halloween jam. Such lovely darkness, just let that beat hit! Well done bLiNd! -
OCR02767 - Castlevania "Electro Killer 6000"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Definitely hearing the Sonik Electronik style in this ReMix, which I love to death. Excellent vox work and I have to say that this is my favorite Vampire Killer ReMix to date. So good, Zircon, gold star for you!
