OCR02727 - Pokémon Blue Version "Wet Dreams"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I always liked Eevee and the way it could cater to just about anyone's taste with different evolutions and types, so an album in that vain was a nice idea. As a Water/Ice trainer for the most part, I stuck with Vaporeon myself. As for the ReMix, I never thought I'd hear Viridian's creepy melody used in such a happy, dreamlike way, but it sounds terrific here along with the Cerulean City theme thrown it (one of my personal favorite cities). Great job with this chippy and bubbly song and cool idea in using Vaporeon's shout. And that title..........hehehehe, nice. -
OCR02725 - Final Fantasy VI "Till We Meet Again"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Whoa, this is beautiful. Jillian did a damn good job with the vocals with that wonderful voice of hers, which was definitely the highlight of the track, and the whole ReMix just has a suburb airy feeling that kinda lifts things up. Gorgeous ReMix of the Aria. -
OCR02724 - Final Fantasy VI "The Megiddo Brigade"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Has a playful sort of evil in it, doesn't it? Sounds like a mix between military beat with classical madman genius, which is an interesting and amusing combination. Great arrangement, clean production, overall a damn good Remix. Nice work, DJP! -
OCR02723 - Final Fantasy VI "Dark Blue Substance"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Very enjoyable to listen to. I particularly like how it doesn't go out of it's way to make any one idea stand out, it sorta works together from start to finish (will say that the dance beat worked very well with me though ). Not bad at all and a strong addition to the Final Fantasy VI album. -
OCR02726 - Chrono Trigger "Devotio Aeternus"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
So awesome to hear many great artists making a comeback in the past year, and I've missed Darangen's work so. Guitar work sounds better than ever, the actual arrangement is amazing and the production for the most part doesn't disappoint at all. Wonderful job blending two great themes together with your style of ass-kickery! -
OCR02722 - Final Fantasy VI "Blackjack's Breakup Bossa"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Haha, fun stuff right here! Throw in some Latin jazz bossa style arrangement over here, some smooth vocals over there, and bam, a fantastic ReMix that excels in the creativity department is born! So good! -
OCR02721 - Final Fantasy VI "The Endless Stair"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Very sinister sounding in the beginning leading up to that giant section at 1:24. I do hear some various influences with NIN and some Matrix, but the grander parts would fit GoW as well. Great menacing ReMix with some sprinkles of epicness. -
Stevo's Birthday, an OC ReMix Project
Crulex replied to Brandon Strader's topic in General Discussion
Happy levelday Stevo! -
OCR02717 - Final Fantasy VI "Trauermarsch"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
That is really the best way to say it. Twelve and a half minutes of an epic story played out with a variety of instruments, tones and moods all combined. The fact that you were able to keep up the momentium and quality of the ReMix for so long is just utterly fantastic. A nice classical orchestral ReMix and certainly a keeper. Gotta hand it to that second section, that one had to be my favorite out of the entire thing. Damn good ReMix. -
OCR02716 - Final Fantasy VI "Reverie of the Broken Phoenix"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
It's like an odd dream that has its share of quirks, like that rumbling piano in the beginning, but it does start to come together later on. Yes, dream-like quality was definitely achieved for this Remix and I enjoyed it very much. -
OCR02718 - Final Fantasy VI "The 6th Kingdom"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Holy shit, man! Never imagined Terra with a tough-as-nails metal dub-dance arrangement backed by ethnic instruments, but I'll be damn if it isn't here! I caught the midway battle and I kinda like DJP's choice of words by saying it's like a theme for a 21st century samurai. I almost went insane for the section right around 3:30. One of my favorite takes on Terra thus far for sure. -
OCR02719 - Final Fantasy VI "Following Forgotten"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Ooh, man, this is some mysterious stuff. Gets to that nice, almost spooky kind of ambiance quite a few times, and yet there is a cool sense of wonder to it. Perfect for mines or dim caves filled with not so dim jewels or some vivid image like that. I love it. -
OCR02720 - Final Fantasy VI "Fiddlesticks Rag"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Yay ragtime! One of my favorite "not likely to be used a lot in an arrangement these days" kinds of music! The double violins and piano combined really well for this song, and hearing the violins go through several different kinds of playing was awesome. Certainly an interesting and fun take on the Spinach Rag that I'll probably have on repeat for a long while. Great ReMix. -
Loving the cheesy, happy 80's feel of this ReMix. Second half of the ReMix really had me feeling it. Still seems like I'm that one guy who actually likes the fade-out type ending, but that's just me. Break down sounded great, and aside from the minor issues that others have already pointed out, I can't really hear anything that I'd nitpick at. But dude, what the hell is up with that title? Haha, not hating on it, but man, that's got to be one of the stranger titles I've seen on this site.

OCR02564 - Wild Arms "A Morning at the Abbey"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Love the back story Archangel gave this one. I actually liked this old-style cartoon animated kind of arrangement as used for the Abbey source. Splendid production and sound to the instruments, and it's light enough to lay back and enjoy. Great work. -
OCR02562 - Final Fantasy VII "Not the Taxi You Whistled For"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
That's some damn good whistling! So awesome to see some bluegrass appear on OCR like this. I actually have a fondness for these kinds of arrangements, so the entire ReMix made me grin with how natural it all sounded. Just wonderful stuff. -
OCR02715 - Ragnarök Online "Pwntera"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
The happy melody reminds me an awful lot of the old SF2 credits theme at certain points (mostly right after the first minute) because of the upbeat hook, but it really does a great job of painting the perfect picture of summer. Well done, OA, this is terrific. -
Underwater-like is right. This does have a fantastic chill to it, like an easy-going paradise at some points and a bubbly water feel at other points. This is pretty sweet stuff that I could easily chill-out to.

OCR02491 - Street Fighter II "Ryu Next Generation (RNG)"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Definitely has a more serious and driven vibe than the Ken Song, but that's perfect for Ryu's character, really. Something about the lyrics, particularly the next generation part makes me think of Ryu preparing to throw down after a long absence with the new breed from SF3. Lyrics are tight, the vocals sound great and all-together, the arrangement is awesome. I'll gladly echo DJP and others in saying that more character vocal songs in this style would be a much welcomed sight to see. -
OCR02713 - Sonic the Hedgehog 2 "Dat Disjointed Chemical"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Loud and heavy, but from my end it comes off as a positive more than anything. As messed up as the synths got in their gritty ways, the original melody shined through and came off well in the electro style. Not bad at all and a great debut. Also, as crazy as the title is, it works after hearing the song. -
OCR02712 - Super Metroid "Shinesparks"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Pretty cool to finally see and hear this on the front page. Jazzy is damn right, this is a pretty smooth and boppin' rendition of Maridia. Sounds great and never lets up. Great to hear a jazzy ending roll as well. -
Certainly perfect for a warm seasonal setting. While the production had some spots of weirdness, I still feel like that's a small nitpick for a wonderful Wintery ReMix like this. Not bad at all, fellas.

OCR02572 - Chrono Cross "A Dream Between Worlds"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Damn that violin sounds beautiful along with that piano. Probably the most lovely combination I can think of. Very nice rendition of the theme. -
OCR02711 - Mega Man 10 & 6 "Totally Rad Winter"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Totally getting some New Order feelings up in here. Deliciously 80's vibe and this ReMix is indeed rad. Probably the best kind of Winter I could hope for. -
OCR02555 - Final Fantasy "Gurgling Desert Pond"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Pretty nice country thing going on here along with a playful organ. A bit short, but every second of this ReMix is full of win.
