  1. 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!
  2. 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!
  3. 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!
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
  6. 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!
  7. It's a ReMix that needs to be heard for the experience, that's for sure. While I enjoyed some of the samples (It's a Selecta! and Yo!YoYo! among some), some of the other samples come off a tad too rough for me. But the randomness combined with humor and perhaps the most recognizable video game song ever makes it fun to hear a few times.
  8. Slick downbeat we have here. Yeah, this has some smooth, dreamy synth and bass work I can really get behind. While I also agree a bit with OA and kinda wish the compression wasn't quite so high, I can see the effect of it on the arrangement and I dig the idea quite a lot. Just a small puddle of an issue compared to the ocean that is this wonderful ReMix to me. Nice work as always, Radiowar.
  9. Congrats on such a landmark album, guys! Capcom and OCR working together again to make awesome music......and available on Amazon MP3 as well.....hmm, yes, I just may have to get this soon.
  10. Want to go ahead and quote that because I get the same feeling from it, especially from listening to MMZ arrangement albums that have had similar stuff in more dramatic pieces. The piano is gorgeous and it has a nice beat that goes against what I normally expect (skips a bit faster ahead of the melody, making it a tad grander and tense, like a battle where the hero just got a second wind). All in all, this ReMix holds up extremely well for being over ten years old and I definitely would recommend this one.
  11. Hey, thanks! :D You do quite a lot of good reviews as well. Let's keep it up and show the ReMixers our love for their talented work!

  12. Policy issue aside (those weighing in on this had their work cut out for'em), the ReMix itself is pretty damn good in my opinion. Love the flute and sax work here and the whole song makes for an awesome addition to the downbeat/smooth jazz genres. Not bad at all.
  13. Fantastic orchestra, and combining it with chiptunes was brilliant. I don't want to say that I was surprised as much as I'd say that I'm delighted to hear such a combination work out like this. And of course I'm a sucker for Windmill Hut, so I'm glad to hear it in there. Creative arrangement, solid production, and great usage of sources. Triple threat of a mix that wins!
  14. Interesting synth work here. Definitely has a unique sound that I can get behind, and with this kind of electro mix, the FX help it shine. Not bad, Avaris.
  15. Good classic trance take on the Bionic Commando theme. Have to echo DJP on loving the militant drumming in this arrangement. Very nice!
  16. Read about this place in the 2008 Game Informer article on it (one of the only useful things I've ever gotten out of Game Informer, actually) and decided to check it out. Came on, found the Donkey Kong Country ReMixes, fell in love with the site and signed up to the forums almost a year later.
  17. Ah yeah! Perfect kind of hard dubstep that messes with the electronic elements without just being a mess of glitches. I really loved the section starting at 2:15 on up, that was a nice change up into a more low-fi sound to lead the song out. Very cool stuff.
  18. You know, I'm going to be honest here, your voice works with this kinda of melody pretty damn well, actually. Soft and rolling with the beat, if that makes any sense. Love that piano. It may be old, but this ReMix holds up pretty well and there is feeling in it. Again, I am pro-fade out, so I can dig the ending, though if I had to nitpick, I'd wish the fade was just a little longer. Still, very good work, DJP.
  19. Let's see here.....well I did actually kinda like the fuzzy/staticy intro that cut into the main riff, but man, I'm sorry but some of these instruments just don't sound right. It might be just me, but some sections are just a tad too raw for me in the production area. Still, the arrangement had a few good ideas. Just not my thing.
  20. Hey, happy birthday!

  21. Gritty and glitchy for sure, but keeping the main melodies intact while expanding on them with electronic flair is quite the feat. I was glad to see some piano pop in among the grinding power, which kinda seems reminiscent of Balrog and Rose's characters as well, making this compo fight even more fitting. That might be unintentional, I don't know, but I love little things like that. Nice work and good return to the front page, Main Finger!
  22. Absolutely gorgeous orchestra, man! Sounds like something straight out of an epic adventure movie, especially with the softer break in the middle section and the vocalizing in the background. Damn good debut, Buckley!
  23. Ah, man, so slick and smooth like a nice shiny stone. And that electric guitar fits in so well as a driver to the main watery melody, helping things move along. For a downbeat, chill ReMix, this manages to keep a lot of the musical arrangement in the forefront and keep things interesting, which is cool and what I like to see from more easy-going ReMixes. Good job, you two.
  24. Hehe, now this is like the musical equivalent to a cartoon: fun, wacky and surprisingly good at getting you hooked. An aggressive, goofy, zany circus of a ReMix, what more could you possibly ask for? Very nice, loved it.
