Happy belated Birthdays!

Yes to this a thousand times. Honestly, I was more irritated over that than MML3.

OCR02561 - Mega Man Zero 4 "resolut(-ion)"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Ah, yes! I've always loved Area Zero's music, and I was so glad to hear such a good ReMix of it on the Maverick Rising album. I do enjoy that piano, keeping the melody of the source intact, while branching out with a more poppy jazz style for the rest of mix. And that electric guitar is SO good. Mega Man Zero is the series of the Mega Man games that always seem to get passed over for Mega Man and Mega Man X music, so it's great to see one on the front page again and hopefully other "Zero" songs will follow in the future. -
OCR02563 - Sonic & Knuckles "Airborne"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Wow, lots of amazing and clear S&K ReMixes lately. From those beginning kicks to the amazing melodically drivin' guitar riffs, this is indeed one of the better Flying Battery zone ReMixes that I've heard. The whole modulation bit around 1:41 was a nice change-up before giving us a small breakdown, which was a great choice for pacing. Love the energy and power here. -
Typically I don't like make resolutions because when I plan, my plans usually go to shit even if things end up well in the end, but eh, I'll go for it this year. - Get back in shape cardio-wise (no particular weight goals, I just want to run more than a 50 yards without getting a tad winded and such) - Get myself a new computor and some specific tools to go with it. - Graduate from college, finishing my last semister with flying colors. - Get a new place to live that doesn't have an angry crazy neighbor yelling at the sky gods and ex-husbands every so often. - Reorganize my house and get rid of stuff I don't actually need. Junk is going, no exceptions.

OCR02409 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles "Jammin' with My NES"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Whoa....hmm......piano with 8-bitish chippers splayed around it? Wow. See, I just love the different concepts and combos the ReMixers around here come up with, because even when it doesn't seem like it would work, somehow, someone gets it to work. Pretty good, especially with the piano work. -
OCR02374 - God of War (PS2) "Wrath Industrial"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
That percussion!!! That thunder strike!! That echoy melody that sounds evil and electonically sinister!!! This ReMix is a work of monsterous nightmare-filled proportions indeed!!! The second half of this ReMix.....man, all my love for the industrial (area, not genre) sound and guitar. So good. -
OCR02373 - Super Metroid "Dragonfood"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
From Badass we hear another evil-doer get their theme tricked out and what a treat this is. Not overly tense and frantic, but you can tell that business has picked up from here. The break in the middle is kinda creepy, with the whole "one note at a time for a melody" thing, that was cool. Great track off a great album. -
OCR02372 - Chrono Trigger "Zeal Feels Good"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I've always enjoyed Gario's work, especially from a certain track of his I heard on R:TS, but this is a new kind of beast. Fantastic melody with subtle effects like bell add-ins and a bit of chippy play here and there. Certainly enjoyed the intro as well as the gramaphone being used in other areas, too. Well, much like Zeal, this ReMix makes me feels good. -
Congrats to your family Mazedude. Here's to many years of joy ahead!

OCR02371 - Dynamite Headdy "Trouble Brewin'"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This is like taking an energy shot right into the brain. So hyper and filled to the brim with hardcore beats that could break necks. Lots of speed and happiness all around this one. Very fun to listen to. -
OCR02370 - Sonic Advance "The Glacier's Peak"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
The Sonic games on the GBA were so good, and I was really glad to see a track like this finally make it to OCR when it did. I actually liked the idea of making it sound more light-tuned with the beat and having that "music box" sound in the arrangement. Great Wintery feeling from the ice level of this game. -
Happy Birthday dhsu!

OCR02375 - Super Castlevania IV "Deforestation"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
That brass in the beginning....damn, dude! Such a terrific lead-in with some suspense and lurking terror, but on a grand scale. Makes the first part deliciously dark with some light undertones. Then to flip the script and basically go to a more adventurous orchestration before touching back on the darker feel was a brilliant move. I really like the back and forth from dark to light in this one. The vocals were a nice touch, but the screams didn't do anything for me because of the abruptness of them. Pretty good all around though. -
OCR02369 - Pokémon Ruby Version "This Treasure"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Aah, man, this one almost put me to sleep, in a good way. Peaceful and chill, and a chippy little thing that I could imagine from being part of Halc's camp. Honestly, I thought the little chips thrown in made this ReMix more than anything. Love that groove beat and the synth that goes with it. Way to go on this one, Guitahheroe. -
OCR02368 - Metal Gear Solid "The Price of Freedom"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Those vocals at the start........ Wow. The beginning up until 1:50 was so tense, and the build-up was cool. Then it gets downright actiony and heroic from there. This is something that I could easily see being on the OST of a movie. The breaks in between the more filled-out areas give this much more life, and 3:45 to 4:15 makes for a great hero's overture or whatever the term would be. Liked the piano section, and ending it on the military sounding march was a great finish. Not bad at all. -
Happy Birthday to one of, if not, the best music-related site on the net! Welcome to teen years!

OCR02548 - Donkey Kong Country 3 (GBA) "Sea Breeze Concerto"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
As a lover of ReMixes that make good use of the source by a lot, this is right up my listening alley. Brings back the memory of hearing this for the first time on the night time stilt village level. Very nice to hear Dave Wise contribute an awesome sax solo to one of his best tracks ever, as well as put the finishing touches on this bad boy. I actually didn't catch the DKC fanfare at the end until I read the write-up, so that was a nice treat. Love it. -
OCR02546 - Donkey Kong Country 3 (GBA) "The Paper Chase"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I have to say, I never would have imagined a sexy, jammin' hip-hop arrangement of the Chase, but I'm glad that we got it. The breathy moans and "hit me!" bits, I could see how some many not like it as much as I do, but I still think it fit right in with the kind of mix we're hearing right here. Smooth and cool, not bad at all. -
OCR02545 - Donkey Kong Country 3 (SNES) "Exploration C"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
You really get the picture of going deep into the caverns with this one, much like the atmosphere created by Critter Clan and the old caves, so mission accomplished on getting that emotion and feeling across. The flute was indeed a great choice for this ReMix. So much variation and change-ups, the mix never gets boring or repetitive, which is great for something about six minutes. Excellent job, Monobrow! -
OCR02544 - Donkey Kong Country 3 (SNES) "Kingfisher's Stream"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
The waterfall levels always had a surreal and cool sound to them, so I'm glad to hear that taken even further here. Halc's chiptune style and Mattias's style blend so well together in this track. Did I hear "halc" and "anso" in the background around the warped section around the 2:38 and 2:46 mark, or was that just my mind playing tricks on me? Either way, fantastic work on this beautiful source. -
OCR02543 - Donkey Kong Country 3 (GBA) "Thump Brothers"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This is badass walkin' music, let me tell you. The funky beatboxing intro was so good in setting up the tone of the ReMix. Yeah, really, the chiptune bits and pieces that followed the melody along with the beatboxing, just great arrangement ideas all around. Amazing ReMix, Flexstyle! -
Double the happy! Double the birthday!

OCR02549 - Donkey Kong Country 3 (SNES) "Intoxica"
Crulex replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Radiowar seems to always hits the mark when he gets a ReMix posted. Every time. And with the quality of this ReMix, you can easily see it. This has the trippy hip-hop the pipes needed and maintains that fuzzy, slightly hazy and chilling sound takes me back to playing in slow motion or backwards controls. So much fun times, both in level and song. Lots of atmosphere in here. Love the use of those few notes at the very end. I thought that was a sweet way to end the song.
