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.

Since I'm kinda in the same boat (I prefer podcasts to watching hour to two hour long videos), let me ask you this: are you able to convert the video to another audio file so you can just plug it into your phone? Quality differences aside (which may be a dealbreaker to some people), that could get you pretty close to being an audio-only podcast without it being one. I've had the past two week's shows on my MP3 that way. Great show BTW, folks. Been fun to hear what you've had to say.

OCR01793 - Adventures of Bayou Billy "El Lagarto"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Holy shit, the funk just doesn't stop in this ReMix! How did I not see this before!? In any case, I have to give props for the insanely good production and both the clapping and 70's sounding guitar work, which just adds to the spice of the arrangement. So much fun, it's incredible! Hard Latin funk for the win! -
Happy GLORIOUS Day of Birth to Brandon Strader / Chiwalker!
Crulex replied to Rexy's topic in General Discussion
Happy birthday to the both of you! -
OCR02537 - Mega Man 6 & 1 "Synthesize This!"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Lots of fun going on here. I love the 70's beat building up to Wily's Castle. And tossing in some Benny Hill was fantastic. I love goofy little throw-ins like that, reminds me of the Mexican Hat Dance throw in from Dr. M's Sunset Riders ReMix. Great work, Rexy! -
It's cake day for Jordan, a.k.a. Damashii!!

Hey! Happy birthday to ya, man! -
OCR02747 - Sonic CD (JP) "Time Traveller's Delight"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Whoa.....this is a pretty damn sick hip-hop ReMix! Production is insanely clean, the vocals and lyrics are tight as hell (bonus points for the Y2J line), and it even has the boppin' funk, complete with bass, trumpets and piano that reminds me of my favorite hip-hop songs from way back when. I think I can safely say that Overclocked Assembled didn't just knock this out of the park, they clipped a satellite or two on the way out of orbit. Hope we can turn it up and get down some more later on! -
OCR02746 - Sonic the Hedgehog 2 "Mythic Mist"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
While I do agree that the first minute is basically one long lead in to the meat that follows afterwords, I enjoyed this one very much. Groovy riffs that can, I'll admit, conjure up images of evil clowns and enough metal to rock a cave, mystic or otherwise, I'd say this is a very strong debut. Looking forward to more from you, PirateCrab. -
OCR02745 - Final Fantasy X "Mountain Prayer"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Oh, absolutely. It is a minimalist sounding ReMix, but everything has it's place and fits like a snug little puzzle piece that makes it all whole. DJP said it best, this is perfect peaceful, drifting, meditation music for just letting your mind wander. Wonderful debut, Jordi! -
Oh, man, OCR is hitting me right in the feels today. Those vocals from Dale are just so smooth and....it's hard to explain, but this guy was meant to sing like this. His voice works so damn good with this style, it's insane. And of course the music behind it sounded brilliant as well. Gorgeous stuff.

OCR02743 - Dark Cloud "'Round the Bonfire"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Ooooh, so good! Never heard anything from Kate that I didn't absolutely love, and this might actually be my favorite ReMix from her. Can't beat a Celtic folk tune like this with those kind of vocals. So damn beautiful. -
Former Nintendo President Hiroshi Yamauchi Passes Away at 85
Crulex replied to Mirby's topic in General Discussion
Rest in Peace, good sir. Your impact on many folk's lives will be felt for a long time. -
OCR02740 - Gunstar Heroes "Rolling Gun Changer"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I can really dig the grinding undertones of this ReMix while keeping the spirit of the source alive. Sounds like something you would expect from an action filled level anyway, so it works for me. Not bad. -
OCR02738 - Gunstar Heroes "Lightning Chaser"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Pretty good synth work here. Good amount of energy for a trancey electronica ReMix and I believe this is the first of many tracks on this album to do justice to the game. Well done. -
OCR02741 - Gunstar Heroes "Be Aggressive!"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Aggressive is right! This packs the right amount of punch for a boss theme, so pretty damn good ReMix, man. -
OCR02742 - Gunstar Heroes "No Time to Rest"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Awesome debut, Ivan! Glad to see you finally make it to the front page with such a rockin' 80's mix. So in love with that guitar! -
OCR02737 - Final Fantasy X "The Dreamer Departs"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Certainly the reverb and spacey feel combined with the cool, upbeat energy makes this my kind of electronic dance track. Wonderful ReMix.
