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. -
OCR02705 - Sonic Colors "Go into the Light"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Ah, that very first audio clip was great for many reasons for me, but I'm loving this ReMix. The soft mellow piano being back up by some nice beats and a little bit of a mysterious ambiance that this kind of genre excels in, it all binds together to make quite the arrangement. It's nice that it all picks up a bit near the end. Been listening to this one all week. Great work Rexy. -
OCR02710 - Mega Man 3 & 8 "Shadow's Lounge"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Classy indeed, marvelous work with this jazzy/funky little piece that would fit my kind of lounge. -
Oh yeah, this is a straight up party mix and I'm loving it. Great beat, lots of energy, and fit for dancing to. Sweet stuff.

OCR02709 - Mega Man "Call of the Cut Man"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Hahahahaha, oh man, this will never leave my head when I play Cut Man's level now. So goofy, it's hard not to smile while listening to this one. The western arrangement with the silly lyrics makes it seem like something less out of the Dollars trilogy and more something out of Rango, but it fits so well with Cut Man's melody. If this is a taste of what's to come in the future, I gladly welcome it. Nice work and great debut on OCR. -
Alright, I’m going to just say it….I like both this mix and the original mix of this theme. It seems like everyday I go back and forth on which one I like better. But for this mix, I do like the electronic elements used to enhance the track here, and this sounds more like the actual fight, whereas the original sounded more like a pre-fight theme, if that makes any sense to anyone. Both themes are great, so score another win for the bad guys. Great debut for HoboKa and another great ReMix under Flexstyle's belt as well.

OCR02428 - Wild Arms "Round the Cape of Good Hope"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Sweet, smooth seaside ReMix. Gotta love that sax and the percussion of this one sounds great. Nice job working in the seascape noises in the intro, it really sets up the mood. Between the sax and electric guitar, this is perfect for someone like me who needs that little extra kick to fully relax to something that conveys an open air scene like this. -
OCR02427 - Donkey Kong Country "Depth of the Deep"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
It's really hard to get anything more beautiful sounding than a solo-piano piece when done right and done with tracks as tranquil and serene as the waters of DKC. It's not even just a solo-piano mix that follows the source closely, as even though it does follow the source nicely, there are several areas of actual interpretation and originality in here that makes it the ReMixer's own, so that was splendid! Great work and amazing debut. Hope to see more of this ReMixer. -
Happy birthday DJP!

Caught myself nodding my head to the beat. This is 9-bit and halc at it's best. Very catchy, and the entire ReMix makes for a relaxing, yet productive, environment.

OCR02426 - Pilotwings Resort "Depth Perception"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
That intro is sick with the stuttering beats! Gets trippy in several areas, but never gets overly chaotic and maintains a great melody in its arrangement. Nice to see that you can get away with sneaking in some of the original in this ReMix. Easily one of the best ReMixes from the album -
OCR02424 - Pilotwings 64 "The Birdman Cometh"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Smooth and chill with an upbeat flavor, especially towards the end. It's chippy, it's happy, it's Insert Rupee. There's nothing really more you can say other than you know it's great when these two ReMixers get together. -
OCR02423 - Battletoads "Ice Cave Dynamo"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Ah, classic Morse with a little more funk (which is incredible), a little more ice appeal, and a little more electronica. Great beat, nice variations as the ReMix went on and overall, very strong production from what I could hear. Four on the floor, but five out of five. -
OCR02422 - Nemesis the Warlock "Nemesis the Doorlock"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I actually dig the late 60's (if I didn't read the write-up, I'd have guessed early 70's) style arrangement and the vocals here. It's interesting and done pretty damn good. Just has that classic rock sound down and I have to give you a hell of a lot of props for it. Lot of things going for the positive column in this ReMix. -
OCR02421 - NiGHTS into dreams... "Panzer Nightopia"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
NiGHTS is recognizable in just about any way that it's used, and being blended with some Panzer Dragoon style arrangement that makes it sound a little adventurous is a cool idea to say the least. The little bits of electronica along with the piano is fantastic and I can see what the others are saying about this having a bit of a Firefly vibe. Great idea here.
