OCR02630 - Zero Wing "For Great Justice"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Alright, first off, Stevo and David did an amazing job with the intro talk. And then to end it off with the Wilhelm scream (which comes back later), ah, so much fun. The beeping and grinding sounds reminded me more of a garbage truck in a construction site than anything, but hey, it oddly worked. Love the intro, the sound effects, and the guitar work by Strader sounded great. You three did great justice to these songs for sure. -
OCR02631 - Sonic the Hedgehog "Sonicquarium"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
So relaxing in the opening, but it picks up nicely in the second half. This is really cool, and I could almost hear this being a watery level take on the Green Hill Zone like the Mario World ocean was compared to the above land theme........you know, if Sonic could actually swim without dying. Lovely little ReMix right here. -
To be honest, the mid-genre switch didn't really bother me as much as it seems to for others. It sounds more like business just picked up a little, is all. I do have to say that because of how the transitions happened, it did come off a tad weird. Not bad, just weird. Still, it's enjoyable and well done.

OCR02592 - Mass Effect "Saren's Prayer"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
The percussion of this ReMix and the glitched up voices made this really stand out to me. Sinister undertones are at a max with this one, and the beat underneath had me tapping my foot, which is always nice to help pick up an otherwise slow day. Amazing ReMix, Mazedude. -
OCR02591 - Metroid Prime "Lone Star"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I've always had a soft spot for solo-piano ReMixes done right, and this is one of them. I would have to say that the very middle of this song is the part I thought was played the best, even though I'm fond of the whole thing. Nice work with the Temple Collapse as well. -
OCR02589 - Sonic 3D Blast (SAT) "PaNic AttaCk"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This is the kind of dance track that I can really get behind. Starts off with a nice beat and a relaxing vibe to it and opens up to a bit of a dub section, before breaking back into the slow electronica. Love the piano that plays over the beat. -
Happy Birthday Snappleman!

Same here, best of luck everyone!

Mega Man X: The Grand Maverick Remix Battle 2012
Crulex replied to DarkeSword's topic in Competitions
I'd love to see this in the future. It'd be like the Wily Castle Gauntlet but with Sigma and the Mavericks instead. -
Happy birthday, AeroZ!

Happy birthday Meteo!

Well, to say that I'm surprised would be an understatement. The thought of Halberd jazz made me wonder a tad, but it's not bad at all. And looks like I'm not the only one who thought his phone was vibrating at 1:40. That's just great man. I like how you managed to toss in the opening theme in there at the end. Nice jazzy way to start the day off.

OCR02625 - Kirby Super Star "The Savior of Dream Land"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Oh god yes! Flamenco guitar strumming intro leading into freaking metal of the Arena? I love it! I smirked so hard when that heavy strumming hit at 0:13. Sixto is the man when it comes to combining high energy with solid guitar work, and damn, this has got to be the tenth time Sixto has left me floored. By far my favorite ReMix of this fantastic album and a perfect cap for the flood. Great work fellas. -
OCR02624 - Kirby Super Star "The Incredible Star Machine"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Hearing halc take on the quirky evil crystal bat (or whatever he was) of Marx's theme with his style of ReMixing is sweet. Conservative in the melody at most points (with is a plus to me), and of course putting in that chippy spin on it. I think it fits Marx's goofy character in a way. The slower section was cool, and it seems like the three minutes go by in a heartbeat. This is a good song to have on a loop. -
OCR02621 - Kirby Super Star "Don't Hold My Breath"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This reminds me of Brigg's "Bubble Junkie" ReMix, but it fits Kirby so damn well. So glad to see this album finally get off the ground with such a fun ReMix. Happy, lovable and memorable melody that gets played around with to great results. I love the "entering the door" sound effects you plugged into this one. Very cool. -
OCR02623 - Kirby Super Star "Spelunking in Space"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I have a huge nostolgic smile on my face from the moment the underlying bass kicks in. The slowdown was a sweet break that did make it sound like you just hit space, which is a nice way to go against the cave area this theme is based on, and man, I love how crazy it gets right before and during the chippy section. No other way to say it except that this is wide-grin inducing. -
OCR02475 - Mega Man X5 "affirmation"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I was actually a fan of the piano work, and having the beats back it up made it all the better. Even more gorgeous than the original and pleasant to listen to. Great track to go along with the others in the album. -
OCR02617 - Pilotwings "The Evolution of Flight"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Always a good time for some halc 9-bit electronica. Nice and floaty, but with a little bit of a bite to it from the bits. Cool switch-up just after halfway through the ReMix. -
OCR02618 - Mega Man 6 & 9 "Liquid Metal"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
That was weird, haha. I love the metal, and to be honest, I'm really getting a good laugh out of the vocals. I'm not knocking them, they just strike me as funny for some reason, and I think that's why I like it. Especially once you get to the "one fish, two fish" part. Fish! -

So hyped right now! Woo! <(^-^)> -
OCR00724 - Super Mario RPG "Farewell, Star Guardian"
Crulex replied to Saunders's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Wonderful, beautiful......just perfect to me on a nostalgic level. I remember hearing the original ending the first time I finished SMRPG, and it was pretty emotional since it was the first RPG I ever played and I thought the music summed up the end well. This brings back those feelings in spades and I have to say that I'll be enjoying this one for a long time. -
OCR01129 - Sonic the Hedgehog 2 "Dream Pipe"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Light hearted and happy, that's what this ReMix is. The best part of this ReMix to me is the build. It continues to build up, then back down, and even get a little piano bit to it after some bongo drumming. Nice to hear something with a simple cheery feeling in it. -
OCR02615 - Legend of Dragoon & Xenosaga "Unbreakable Heart"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Oh man......Claire and DJ Mystix are quickly becoming my favorite duo on OCR. Claire's vocal ability speaks for itself, and the amount of emotion that you can pick up between her and the music is outstanding. And man, Cammy's melody is the perfect piano break. It just fits in so nicely with the rest of the ReMix. Such a splendid mix of songs......damn, folks, this is awesome. -
Happy Birthday DusK!
