Has a lot of sweet pep in it, and it makes for a pretty awesome rocking ReMix. Amazing work you guys.

OCR02531 - Final Fantasy VIII "White Magic Is for Sissies"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Very heavy and solid metal ReMix, indeed. There are things I would have liked to have seen expanded upon, but all in all, for something as clean and badass as this, it makes for a great jam that I can get behind. Rock on! -
OCR02536 - Pokémon Ruby Version "120 Ways to Chill Out"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Would it be too much of a stretch for me to say that TGH is a Pokémon master at this point? Well, at least musically, I'd say. Cute little chiptune ReMix that builds nicely and varies up the melody throughout the play time. Wonderful arrangement, fella. I love it. -
OCR02535 - Castlevania "Enough Time to Dance"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
It does have a livelier sound to it, and the dance beat gives it enough punch to keep the momentum going. While it isn't something that blows my mind, all in all it's still pretty good. Nice work, man. -
I would actually say Mario Kart. Has the kind of balance I could tolerate between repetition, possible in-game injury (has to suck to fall in lava or get hit by lightning, even if it only lasts for a few seconds) and excitement if I had to do it forever.

Pretty sweet arrangement. Love the accordion and violin in this, keeping the tango vibe you were going for feeling real. Not bad.

OCR02756 - Lemmings 3D "The Fog of War"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Does have a great 90's sound to it, perfect fit for the time and has a foggy (and by that I mean far off in the background making some haze, but with good energy in the fore ground) shine on it, combining electronica and orchestral bits. Nice work. -
Double Happy! Double Birthday!

Happy Birthday jnwake!

OCR02755 - Street Fighter II "Femmes Fatales"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Haha, this came off funnier to me than it should have. Seems like while Guile's theme may go with everything in general, Chun-li's theme goes with just about any kind of ReMix with another Street Fighter. Sweet electronica OA. You nailed the beat and the energy quite well. -
OCR02511 - Impulse "Strange Rock in the Heavens"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Always cool to hear ReMixers work on songs composed and put together by other ones. Nice way to get a lot of ideas and come up with lots of sweet arrangements, especially with production that sounds this nice. Extremely kick ass electronica track, Neblix! -
OCR02509 - NiGHTS into dreams... "Lies Within Dreams"'
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Yeah, now that's funky! I just love hearing the organ and piano going to work here, and I can say that the Zurna really helped nail down the Middle Eastern sound. Unexpected (for what preceded it) and interesting. Great ReMix and a great part of the album. -
Besides the ones you and the others suggested (like Killer Instinct and Virtua Fighter, I so second these ones), I'd like to see some more Street Fighter Alpha 3 ReMixes. Sure, it's still SF, but Alpha/Alpha 2 and SF2 seem to get 90-95% of the Street Fighter ReMixes, and Alpha 3 does have some good tunes. Hell, if anyone can manage a ReMix for any of the sources from the original Street Fighter, I'd be impressed.

OCR02753 - Kirby's Adventure "Double Rainbow"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I think the guitar is brilliant in the way it was used, and for the rest of the ReMix, I just love the light and airy melody that flows on all around the guitar. It is almost like a cake, light and fluffy for quite a bit of it, then you hit the icing and BAM, flavor. Very cool. -
OCR02499 - Final Fantasy VII "Death, Rebirth, Life - 1986"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Haha, very clever! 80's style with Jenova, and yet it totally works! That's pretty damn cool. While I would also have loved to hear a vocalist match this thing up, as it is, it's one of those ReMixes that makes me grin simply because of the arrangement. Damn good ReMix, Anti-Syne! -
OCR02498 - Final Fantasy VI "All Who Oppose"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Dan, you really shine when it comes to these massive orchestra pieces and you've done extremely well here. Sounds really paced in a good way and I can tell a lot of thought went through each section. Very nice. -
OCR02497 - Golden Sun "Rebirth of Venus"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Pretty tight adventure piece here. While I do agree with some others that some areas could have been bit stronger, it's kinda like saying the Grand Canyon could be bigger on the whole. I personally liked the section between 2:38 and 2:50 where it breaks down for a moment. Not bad at all, I certainly liked it. -
Man, this gets up to full gallop and doesn't stop, huh? This just screams "crazed and manic" and truthfully, I say it's all the better for it. Haven't had the pleasure of playing any Splatterhouse games, but judging from the description and this ReMix, it's on the to-do list. My only nitpick is that I'm not fond of the very end's one wank strum. Sounds a little off compared to the rest of the guitar work, but again, that's a severely minor gripe when looking at the rest of this awesome beast.

The electronics and synths work out pretty well for this weird monster, so kudos on a matching arrangement for Zero Two. Loving the use of the electric guitar and the glitches, including the fade in and outs. Great to see perhaps the most disturbing thing to come out of the Kirby world get a cool ReMix like this. Well done.

OCR02749 - Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island "Bowzilla"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
The evil album series returns! Such a great day for the bad guys. As for this ReMix, that intro is menacing, sure, but after 0:50 when it really hits, the damn thing is FIERCE! This goes harder than I could have ever hoped for, and I liked the roars in the background. Such a long await ReMix, perfect way to kick off this album. Wonderfully dark and sets the mood for a final battle so well. Damn good stuff, man. -
Really difficult to describe the enjoyment I get out of this ReMix. It's like something I can leave on for hours and never get bored of. The electronica sound is evenly paced and well-energized to give it enough of a kick to keep the interest, but it's not so overbearing that it requires attention. Pretty good piece, I liked it.

I play (and die at) Ghosts and Goblins around this time. I also usually go through the Haunted House levels in Super Mario World and Mario 64, as well as DKC2 (darker atmosphere, kinda fits even with non-haunted areas). Anything else is coincidence for me.
