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. -
OCR02736 - Donkey Kong Country "Percussion Hijinx"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Hahaha, yeah, percussion emsemble! While I do agree that the first few seconds of the ReMix had some odd moments of everything trying to come together, once they did, it sounded marvelous. Really glad you managed to do both of the sections from the source (I'll call it the sunny and rainy sections, for the folks who played the game and know what I mean). Excellent crisp and clear percussion ReMix, especially for being recorded so long ago. -
OCR02735 - Mega Man 9 & 6 "Sweet Wet Nectar"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Funky! Pretty impressive for three artists to tie in a bunch of sources together in such a neat package. Splash Woman and Hornet Man sure sounded great together (loved that combo) and Plant Man and Wily were handled with some damn good skill. Pretty cool combination of themes. -
OCR02533 - Mega Man 2 & 1 "WoodChipper"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Synthy poppy goodness with Elecman and Woodman, now that's a recipe for a great ReMix. Add in some of the Journey like focus that Elecman always seems to bring out, and you've got another terrific Willrock track. Good stuff, Willrock! -
What an incredibly mind blowing realization of Dweezil Zappa and Tommy Tallarico working together and getting a ReMix up, and of Pac-Man music! Honestly, I'm really glad that they were able to fit in "Act 1-They Meet", because it's one of the sources I really like from the Pac-Man games that never seem to get touched (love Ms. Pac-Man more than original anyway). The only nit-pick is that it's short time-length, but that's what the replay button is for. Such a great ReMix, I love it!

OCR02467 - Final Fantasy XI Online "Paradis"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Man, this is some pretty chill stuff. I can dig the idea of just laying back and relaxing to this for a while. Just kinda washes over you, even with the snare as strong as it was. The changes the song made as it went on was great for making work for the whole eight minutes. -
OCR02568 - Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask "Dawn of a New Day"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
The voices and overall joyous atmosphere of this ReMix makes it almost sound like a nice festival in a seaside town of sorts. Great song for an early morning "get up and go!" when you need it. Gotta love folksy stuff that can make bad days a little better. -
OCR02567 - Metroid Prime "Relics of an Ancient Race"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
The beat goes pretty hard with the ambiance of the ReMix. Seems like something I would expect from an ancient ruins area, particularly one with spotty lighting and some mist or haze. Not bad for the first ReMix you had posted. Not bad at all. -
OCR02566 - Final Fantasy "Requiem for a Dying World"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Violin and hard metal guitar is not something I often think about being together, but as an advocate of darkness in beauty-type arrangements, it's clearly up my listening alley. I just love how you can have something so gorgeous sound so aggressive at the same time. That's pretty freaking awesome. One of my favorites from this album, easily. -
OCR02565 - Cardinal Quest "The World After Asterion"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Classy as hell and fantastic with the grand orchestra arrangement. Sounds so damn clear on the production side and all the instruments came together in a way that could only be described as an art form. Very cool. -
OCR02559 - EarthBound "Practicing Retrocognition"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
It does work for the quirky and uniqueness of the Earthbound soundtrack. Almost surprised me with the false ending (where it dropped off and came back for another few seconds). Nostalgic is the key word here, that's the feeling I get from this. Solid ReMix, Sci. -
Happy Birthday OA!

OCR02558 - Final Fantasy X "Silence Before Repentance"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Atmosphere that is dark and moody, with some beautifully haunting piano moving things along? Yes please! Five minutes really pass by quickly with this one, it's just so engaging, which is a feat for atmospheric tunes like this. Nice work in getting a little less dark and a bit more wonderous as the mix went on. That was cool. Great debut ReMix, Zoned. -
Lots of club energy, and the percussion is pretty good for the beat it's giving. This fusion was an interesting one to hear, and I generally enjoyed it. I don't mind fade outs, but it seemed like this one faded a tad too quick, but that's a small nitpick for a ReMix that I liked everything else about. Pretty damn good, man.

OCR02556 - Shinobi III "Oboro Drive"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This is some pretty powerful stuff! Good old rockin' out ReMix with a driving guitar lead that makes me so happy. Production is good enough to get the job done as most have mentioned. Well done, DusK, well done! -
OCR02554 - Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword "Hylia's Fear"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I just love the plucking in this ReMix. The production of almost everything sounds so crisp and clear, I can almost see the orchestra. Pretty good debut from you, fella.
