Oh, man, that violin sounds gorgeous. Whole thing really fits the relaxing thinking atmosphere a puzzle game needs. The modulations and glitchy beats kept things fresh and fun to listen to, and I dig the vocals as well. Beautiful ReMix you have here fellas.

OCR02672 - Pilotwings "You Don't Talk About Flight Club"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
ReMix title kinda wrote itself, didn't it? I'm loving the loungey low-fi jazz here, and it's so nice and chill, at least for the first minute. Then you go and kick it into high gear that kinda reminds me more of low-fi jungle jazz rather than smooth lounge. Great transition there. Sweet ReMix halc. -
OCR02674 - Batman (GEN) "Flugel Rock"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Really got into this one after the introduction set in and moved on about a minute and a half in. The cinematic elements and electronic bits worked well together here. This is some great orchestration. Bass ending was a nice touch. -
OCR02678 - Sonic the Hedgehog 3 "Thinking Cap"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I don't really care how many times a source gets ReMixed as long as each one has something to offer, and this one certainly as an old school gameboy sound to it at various points, especially after 3:05, which was interesting. I actually like that it uses a little bit of the melody while making the beat more present. It's a nice, new way to hear Ice Cap. Great ending on here as well. -
OCR02676 - Mega Man Zero 2 "Never Stop"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Cyril's voice really fits the arrangement here, especially the harmonization and "never stop" growls at points. Great guitar work, the percussion is awesome, I loved the little falsetto yell at the end and the production sounds solid. Honestly, this is grade A stuff. So good to see a quality Mega Man Zero ReMix hit the front page. Great work Cyril! -
Kinda short and at some points you can hear it's age, but all in all I actually liked this one. I'm going to have to agree, DJP was the closest to describing the underwater duck sounds of it, and while certain themes didn't blend or stick out as well as others, I don't think this is bad at all. Mario's voice sounds were a great addition in this one. Nice stuff.

Whoa.....haha, now that's cool. I never expected an A Capella song to show up here on the site (not the first thing that comes to my mind in arrangements), but now that it has, it's got to be one of the best one's to introduce it. Fantastic voices and I'm totally digging the male/female vocal exchange. Very nice.

OCR02413 - Crash Bandicoot "Hogging Molly"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Haha, yes! Southern Celtic Punk, it's so good here! Nothing better than a good ol'jam with Crash in a way that is reminiscent of Flogging Molly. Arrangement is very colorful and fun, and there is almost nothing I love more than a fun ReMix. I may have missed out on playing Crash Bandicoot, but at least the music is getting some good love. Nicely done you two. -
Happy birthday halc!

OCR02669 - Final Fantasy XII "The Drum of Basswall"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
It's like going through a dead quiet factory and only hearing the clanging of pipes, tins and other assorted metals for most of the song at the beginning. When I read that this would be a very percussion heavy atmospheric ReMix, I was a tad concerned of how this would keep me into it for the whole song, but you managed to maintain enough spookiness and lay down a cool enough beat to keep it interesting the whole time. That is no easy feat for any ReMix of this kind. The longer it went on, the more the elements came together like magic and it sounds great. Well done, solid debut. -
OCR02670 - Legend of Zelda "I Do It for the Faeries"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
You have the OneUps. You have the Zelda theme. You know that you're going to get quality and an amazing ReMix. All that is left to do I lay back and enjoy the smooth groove of it all. Thumbs up, fellas. -
OCR02666 - Mega Man 2 "Acid Flashbacks"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Sound effects and chip tune together in a tasty little mix. Lots of energy going, which makes this a fun track to listen to, and the way the sound effects help the ReMix along is brilliant. Not bad at all. -
OCR02667 - Sonic 3D Blast (SAT) "Renewal"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Damn, those strings! I really have to praise how amazing the instruments sound in this arrangement. Perfect epic/impending adventure feeling for a ReMix of a volcano area, especially with some of the crackling and bubble flow I heard underneath it all. Loved how everything settled down near the end and came to a peaceful area with the birds. Now that's a motion inside a song. -
Whoo, that opening had me ready for a full on ride, and the ride was pretty fun. I can hear some of the skrillex that halc pointed out, and that/this kind of deliberate dubstep is the kind that I can fully get behind and enjoy. I actually liked the "yah-yah"'s here. Sounded robotic and mechanical in a good way. Nice work.
-
Pretty much the same here, except with Culex, and I just added an "R" so that it'd be Crulex (or Cruel X as it's pronounced. Combination of Evil Mega Man X and Culex, as my friend pointed out).

Happy birthday Washudoll and Bahamut!

OCR02664 - Wild Arms "Hope for the Future"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This is one of the best upbeat trance ReMixes I've heard in quite a long time. This is unbelievably exciting in terms of high energy action and good melody switch-ups. Doesn't matter what the genre is, Willrock does amazing work every time. Great stuff. -
OCR02662 - Final Fantasy "Roaming... Please Wait"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I think you did a great job of keeping the original feeling while going into the metal genre, so nice work there. Guitar work and arrangement varied up enough to keep me interested until it hit the Volcano area, before slipping into the 8-bitish section which made me laugh. Great ReMix all around. -
OCR02661 - Donkey Kong Land "Banananaz"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
The beat certainly fits the bill in the badass walking music mold. The use of the glitchy sounds in this ReMix were pretty fun to listen to and it didn't seem like it was there for the sake of being there. It actually seemed to make the mix. The harder dubish parts of the glitch were nice as well. Great debut. -
Yeah, happy BONKday
-
Happy birthday to the both of you!

OCR02660 - Donkey Kong Country 3 (SNES) "Permafrost"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Okay, this was the song I was interested in hearing because I knew it would be interesting. And I was right. Snowy levels always seem good for trance or, as I call things like this “deep thought” songs, and this is a great example of that. Draconiator and Flexstyle should be proud of this one. -
Damn, this is smooth as all hell! I can really chill out to the beat of this one. The rhodes, and the flute are absolutely beautiful sounding. The source may be called "Cherry Blossom Wind Dance", but that's exactly what I picture when I listen to this with my eyes closed. Damn good stuff, Radiowar.

OCR02659 - Super Mario World "Forrest of Illusion"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
At first, I wasn't sold, but after it got going I liked it. The sfx, the off-kilter chants and voice clips, and the overall creepy haunted house-like quality of it was great, especially in the areas where it sounded a little more metallic or industrial. Some things I liked, other things not so much, but end of the day, I thought it was a good debut.
