OCR02649 - Mega Man 2 & 6 "The Root of All Things"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Gotta admit, I'm a pretty big fan of that flute and a lot of the choices made for when things like the little bells pop in and out were brilliant. Not sure how to describe it, but I think I kinda like how it's not a clear cut as some would probably like it. It's weird, but still, with all the different changes that take place over the course of the mix, it keeps attention going. Pretty good, Rexy. -
OCR02468 - Final Fantasy VII "Mother"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I love Listen to the Cries of the Planet and it's perfect for somber, creeping arrangements. The sound effects of breaking glass work nicely here, especially when things pick up about halfway. This is the kind of ReMix that doesn't demand attention with a slap to the face, but it sounds good enough that it really should get the attention it deserves. Not bad. -
OCR02403 - Mega Man X2 "Intruder Alert"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
That intro with the "emergency alert" voice was so well done, you can just picture a break-in at a high tech facility perfectly. Both this and the other track on the album that Washudoll has done take the sources to another level easily and the combination of orchestra and rock makes for a very exciting ReMix. Lots of energy and makes great use of every part of the source, which is cool. Awesome ReMix of Magna Centipede, Washudoll! -
OCR02395 - Wild Arms "~to be loved is to love~"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
The percussion, and of course the piano, in this one is insanely good coupled with the synth here. Pretty amazing tune that brings in a lot of emotion without getting overly happy, which sometimes ruins the mood when done wrong. Not a problem here, because melody does it right once again. Excellent work! -
OCR02396 - Battletoads "Toads in the Suite"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Totally agree. I can just see this being used in that context and it wouldn't seem out of place at all. So deliciously funky and as far as jazz/funk fusion ReMixes go, this one is a toe-tapping keeper for sure. -
OCR02398 - Diddy Kong Racing "Samba Primata"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Oh, this ReMix is so much fun. Bouncy and carnaval-like, and having those latin instruments sounding really good, it's one of those ReMixes that can get you to smile. I can hear the party/marching direction in this one clearly, and again, it's just a lot of fun to listen to. -
OCR02393 - Quest for Glory "Late Snows of Winter"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Wow, getting the personal thumbs up from one of the composers pretty much says it all on how awesome this ReMix really is. A great melodic piece from a classic game ramped up with some really good acoustic guitar work and more. Damn good ReMix, jmr. -
OCR02392 - Katamari Damacy "Prelude, Fugue, and Groove"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I have to say that I agree that this sounds like a two song set, but since both the first and second half sound amazing, I see no problem here. I enjoyed the second half much more though. It really goes to another level after 5:40, but the entire ensemble was impressive. Loved the female vocalist's voice and I can really roll down the road to this one. -
OCR02646 - Mega Man 2 & 8 "Wily's Bubble Bath"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Dude, for one of your first attempts at some electric jazz, this is really good! Production sounds great and the arrangement is hot! Very smooth and glides with the drums. Nice title as well, although bad images are soon to come in the minds of some. Great ReMix. -
OCR02391 - Pokémon Red Version "Spume"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Freaking love the sonar opening! Can't believe I didn't review this when it came out, but this is a fantastic take on the Sea theme. When it picks up after 1:35, I just get the urge to move around a bit. Wonderful beat with those ambient pops and that sonar going off a few times. This ReMix is happy, and it makes me feel happy. So good! -
OCR02390 - Final Fantasy VII "Sephiroth's Deliverance"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
The sources that were mixed here were tackled alright in my opinion, and the combinations seemed to work out, but I would have to say that the opening is what worked the best with the bells cutting to the metal. The mix had a great arrangement, good energy and you had enough variation to keep things interesting. Good addition to FF7's library of ReMixes. -
OCR02389 - Chrono Trigger "Lucid States"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Hmmm, that was quite the opening! The vocals where great with the robotic make-over, but they're a bit hard to hear because of the music and the way they're done. Not bashing them because I loved the idea and use, but I'm thankful for the lyrics tab at times. Other than that, very exciting and the kick up to dubstep was pretty cool. Great stuff here, fellas! -
OCR02387 - Ufouria "Above the Clouds"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Really is one of those peaceful, tranquil ReMixes that gets the tone right from the piano. You can feel like your floating in the breeze or resting in the sky with this one. Very nicely done. -
OCR02386 - Final Fantasy VIII "Of Dreams and Time"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Well, when you took on The Extreme, you nailed it down pretty good. I can say that I enjoyed this ReMix and I won't dwell on the little minor things others already picked out. Since fade outs don't bug me all that much, it didn't do so here. Not bad. -
Three guitars playing a simple strength of three, with three sources.......this screams triforce in the best of ways, which is a charming idea carried out very well. So relaxing and calming, and the combination of the three different kinds of guitars was fun to hear. Totally diggin' the creativity here.

OCR02382 - Sonic & Knuckles "Quicksander"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
As much as I hated Sandopolis Zone, I've always loved the music of it, and hearing a hard, dark and gritty ReMix of it is amazing to me. I, myself, have grown to like dubstep, but I like it better when used a less obnoxious way like this is. To me, this is the perfect example of balancing melodic rock and dubstep, so well done. -
OCR02380 - Bahamut Lagoon "Stockholm"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Oh, dude, the atmosphere of this ReMix is just completely wonderful! Sounds very airy and natural, so good for chilling out and focusing on work or just drifting off. -
Probably one of my favorite ilp0 ReMixes. Has a bit of weirdness to it at times, but shifting between lighter and darker made it work. Good to see a ReMix that varies itself in a way that reaches both sides of the field.

OCR02645 - Final Fantasy VI "Demake Some Money"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Whoa, lots of blasts from the pasts coming up through here. And a great return ReMix to come back on, with this high energy rockin' chiptune song. Very nice. Drums got to me at first, but then they sorta found their place as the ReMix went on. Lots of positives, hardly any negatives. Cool stuff. -
OCR02402 - Mega Man X8 "Winged Reploid (Revelation)"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Sixto can do no wrong when it comes to shredding it up with some heavy guitars and great sounding drums. Now this is a final battle theme if I've ever heard one! Great slowdown and amazing work overall. -

OCR02378 - SaGa Frontier 2 "Shimmering"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
So DJP said anime outro feeling, and after hearing this one, I would have to agree with that. Peppy and lively, with a nice, light beat underneath the the melody. OA does a fantastic job with these kinds of upbeat ReMixes and you just feel warm after listen to ReMixes like this one. Awesome. -
OCR02377 - Secret of Evermore "Somber Memory"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Jenny's flute playing is incredible in this ReMix! What a beautiful sound that comes from the acoustic guitar and flute combination. Very emotional and lovely. I really liked this one.
