  1. Oh, cool, urdailywater is on the front page! Dark ambience that is a little unnerving, not bad at all. I'm actually enjoying the beats, piano and wind effects of this one quite a lot. Pretty damn good debut, love it.
  2. One thing I can say about Touhou, even if I never had a chance to really play any of them, is that they have music that lend themselves well to ReMixing. DDRKirby here gives a great example of that with this. Probably the most upbeat, hard-hitting waltz I've ever heard. Also now one of my favorite and it does work if you focus on the beats for the dance. Great melody and arrangement, DDRKirby!
  3. From the source and title, I wasn't entirely ready for a chill hip-hop ReMix with piano, but this pretty nice. Some of the piano notes and a few other items like the later drums sounded a bit sharp or loud to me, but nothing that bugs me too much. Sweet stuff.
  4. Beautiful. The violin and piano are so gorgeous in this one. Lots of emotion and nicely done for a live recording. Love it.
  5. I liked the slow opening to this ReMix. Especially when the flute kicked in, you really set up the Asian feeling well. And then the mix goes into high gear with the famous stereotypical Asian guy shout, and the beat just pops. I love the breakdown, where the Asian sound seems to be strongest. I wasn’t expecting the jazzy section, but it was a welcomed addition. Great work Peach!
  6. Certainly has the switch ups of a Final Fantasy ReMix. The introing acoustic guitar was relaxing and such, but then that chaotic mayham that followed was a bit unnerving. Then to go back and forth on that was interesting. There were some points where I felt a bit disoriented, but once it went into the vocals section and beyond, things clicked again. For what was done and the length of it all, I have to say that this is a great addition to Random Encounter.
  7. Want You Gone has to be one of the few songs where I personally feel like the original is pretty damn tough to beat or rearrange without going the wrong way, but I like what Dummy has done here with the orchestral take on it. The light, whimsical feeling of this ReMix is done really nicely and I would also love to hear this done live. Very nice.
  8. I actually fond of the reverbing chiptune jazz direction here. Lot of sounds that aren't really used much in ReMixes are present for this one, and that makes it a nice listen. Love the piano in there, and I think what I like the most about this one is surrounding sounds that pop up like I mentioned before. Not bad.
  9. Just want to note how I really liked the Dr. Wily theme slowed down and done with acoustics for the intro and outro. I can only imagine how hard it is to take themes that have been done plenty of times and work in your own unique takes, so this works for me on the acoustic and electronic end. Nice work getting Flash Man and Wily's themes pieced in together like that. Great ReMix, fellas.
  10. The glitching effects are top notch once again, Hero. I love that you went for the "Mayan Malfunction" vibe, because it seems to be a style to excel at, and it shows here. Fun stuff hearing some Indian bits in there as well. Wonderful work with both themes, man.
  11. Got a good beat throughout this one, especially when it opens up. Pretty straightforward as opposed to the out and open madness I've heard in other ReMixes from Dr. Manhattan, so it's a nice change up. Solid arrangement and those guitars are tight. Very nice.
  12. Whoa, nice work with the hyper electronic opening. Love the way this picks up even more after the second minute. It's amazing to hear something slightly chippy and electronic go this fast and hard while keeping a melody going that doesn't sound overly rushed. Awesome debut DR. WELI.
  13. Ah, man….reminds me of that sled level on K3. So many lost lives….anyway, this has an excellent beat that starts to match your heart in intensity. Might be a bit lower in tempo, but you can still feel the business picking up and it’s not slowing down one bit. I do have to say that the bass is freaking sick. Almost car-shakingly so when turned up.
  14. I could almost hear where this was trying to go at several points. Can't really do anything more than echo that it gets a little repetative, but other than that I don't have much to say on this one. I don't think it's bad, but the best part of this ReMix were the drums and some of the harder guitar work.
  15. This ReMix is ridiculously infectious. Seriously, the beat and funk to this mix makes me really want to move around! I actually liked the slow down ending. Nice to hear a great ReMix of the B Music.
  16. Wow. Pretty nice work with the atmosphere of this ReMix. Sounds like it has a pretty sweet fuzzy quality that brings out the melody quite a bit. Interesting ReMix.
  17. Dr. Wily always seems to have the best themes for orchestral rock ReMixes, Once it hits in the intro, it's pretty powerful and gets the blood pumping pretty good. Nice to see a little Napalm Man in there as well. Great work, guys.
  18. Sounds very fitting for Blanka and the smooth Brazil flavors that go with it. That piano works nicely with the guitar. I was never really fond of Blanka's theme, but I can get behind this ReMix, that's for sure.
  19. Oh hey, I remember hearing before it got posted here and I never knew what it was from. Cool. Very rocking and has a certain type of energy to it that keeps it going. I love the little switches made like at 2:08 and right afterwards. Not bad.
  20. Wow, heart beat sampling in a ReMix like this. Pretty good use of creativity for an interesting song. Goes from menacing to chippy and weird in no time and completely works. Nothing but greatness from Mazedude.
  21. OH MY GOD. My ears are crying tears of joy right now. I have always wondered what Aquatic Ambiance would sound like with a good metal arrangement, and now that I hear it......IT IS GLORIOUS! And that staccato guitar!? Oh man, so gorgeous in a rocking way. Even the heavy drum break sounded magnificent. The more AA ReMixes that get posted, the better they get, which is great because each time I hear one, I keep thinking it can't get any better. So glad to be wrong every time. Great debut man.
  22. Been a while since I've heard some good electric piano in a ReMix, so this is a treat. Honestly, it is true that this mix doesn't demand attention, but the production and arrangement is so good that it's likely to get it anyway. I've always liked the Daisy theme/Super Mario Land theme, so kudos on working magic with it here.
  23. Woo, now this has a good kick to it! Really good to hear Dr. Manhatten take on some Ys. Love the shredding in this and the back and forth rolls near the end. Great action-filled ReMix, man.
