OCR03733 - Street Fighter II "Burning Vigor"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
That guitar vs keyboard section was sick and really spiced up the ReMix. Sometimes a good tune getting fine-tuned with a dash of cool ideas is all you need, and this was a great example of that. Nice work. -
OCR01784 - Street Fighter II "Clamato Fever"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
That solo is incredible and I can hear the Pendulum influence. That style is something I'm used to and like, so I can deal with some of the distortion and mastering hotness, but I can understand if it's not everyone's thing. Great update to a classic theme. -
OCR01782 - Street Fighter II "High-Five... Hundred"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This is dope and gives Honda's stage the energy it was always missing in the original. Love the vox and the best that perfectly punctuated the electronic bits. Very good mix -
OCR04142 - Super Mario Odyssey "Now the Flowers Will Grow!"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Mixing surf guitars and energetic drum and bass together wasn't a combo I'd expect, but it's one I love. The female vocal breakdown was nice as was the transition back to the beat. Overall, not bad at all. -
OCR03970 - Super Mario Bros. "Reflecting Pool"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Experimental for sure, but it's not bad at all. Not sure if I'm perfectly suited to have the patience for it, but I can at least appreciate it and I'd personally listen to it as a whole performance rather than on section, but that just me. Cool idea. -
OCR03923 - Super Mario Bros. 2 "Hayride Dreams"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
What a neat folksy ReMix, it really does feel like an evolved and fleshed out SMB 2 theme, with other treats packed in. Going to be listening to this ditty for a while I'm sure. -
Man, not even ten seconds in and even without the title and write-up, the NIN influence hit like a ton of bricks. Certainly fits the creepy atmosphere the arrangement was going for and I love every bit of it, especially the haunted house section. Also didn't know the tidbit about the house where the NIN album was recorded, so that was fun to learn.

The latin jazz really fits both Sagat and Vampire Killer nicely, especially when they play off each other. The beginning wasn't fully my cup of tea, but the rest of the mix surely was. Well done!

OCR01775 - Street Fighter II "Sexxy Thai Guy"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
So smooth and chill, absolutely lovely. Perfect for a chill, relaxing rest session. Really nice all around. -
OCR01750 - Street Fighter II "Sly Thai Guy"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Man, the ever so slight tempo increase and beautiful flute made me like this more than the source already, but then the guitar hit and I fell in love with the whole thing. This was excellent and highly recommended. -
OCR04505 - Super Mario World "Koopalings"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
What an interesting and nice take on the boss theme from SMW. The latin flavor really shines through and the piano sounded great, same as the flute. Small nitpick on a weird bit of flute playing two-thirds of the way in, but nothing that completely soured me on this one. -
OCR04510 - Mega Man X4 & X5 "Release the Kraken"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This has a really good combination of percussion and funk that sounds great together, and the bit of distortion effects worked well with beat. Good mix. -
OCR01581 - Final Fantasy V "Dark Butz"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Some quality intricate chiptune and glitchy electronica work in this one. I can follow it for the most part, and it stays interesting to say the least. I'm cool with the ending because of how the rest of the mix was presented. Not bad. -
OCR03731 - Donkey Kong Country "Interruptible Power"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I really, really dig the idea of the mix switching between lower and higher energy sections to mirror the blackout basement level and the power going on and off. Super cool idea that works and sounds fantastic. Awesome ReMix! -
OCR03664 - Donkey Kong Country "Terror Plant"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I really liked how this ReMix started with the melody mostly true to the source and then continue to expand and morph as the mix went on, feeling more and more unique. Solid trance mix with a great beat. -
OCR03820 - Super Mario RPG "Electric Monstro Carnival"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Four and a half hours for something this incredible is unbelievable. Really enjoyed the inclusion of the prelude here, and the entire mix is a treat for chippy mix lovers. Highly recommended. -
OCR03751 - Super Mario RPG "Riptide Rush"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Polka is almost always fun, but inject it with sugary edm and you get a sweet mix that can brighten the day. Very fun, love it. -
OCR03673 - Super Mario RPG "Happy Times Are Back Again"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Very good showcase of the marimba and the different feelings they can invoke from minor to happier stuff. Smoother transitions would have to be my only nitpick, but overall not bad at all. -
OCR04496 - Street Fighter II "Vega's Theme (Pulse Mix)"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
MkVaff has had a lot of great pulse ReMixes hit in the last few months and this is another banger. Awesome to see another Vega mix get a jolt of energy like this.
