  1. Experimental for sure, but it's not bad at all. Not sure if I'm perfectly suited to have the patience for it, but I can at least appreciate it and I'd personally listen to it as a whole performance rather than on section, but that just me. Cool idea.
  2. What a neat folksy ReMix, it really does feel like an evolved and fleshed out SMB 2 theme, with other treats packed in. Going to be listening to this ditty for a while I'm sure.
  3. Man, not even ten seconds in and even without the title and write-up, the NIN influence hit like a ton of bricks. Certainly fits the creepy atmosphere the arrangement was going for and I love every bit of it, especially the haunted house section. Also didn't know the tidbit about the house where the NIN album was recorded, so that was fun to learn.
  4. There's nothing better than taking a chippy song and giving it a solid beat, and glitchy breakbeat at that. Always like hearing Super Mario Land's theme get a bit of a boost, so this was awesome to listen to.
  5. Going to throw my lot in with the folks who enjoyed the use of SFX throughout the majority of the ReMix. Honestly preferred it to only using it too much in one section like I've heard some mixers do in other songs. Liked this a lot, very nice mix.
  6. The latin jazz really fits both Sagat and Vampire Killer nicely, especially when they play off each other. The beginning wasn't fully my cup of tea, but the rest of the mix surely was. Well done!
  7. So smooth and chill, absolutely lovely. Perfect for a chill, relaxing rest session. Really nice all around.
  8. Man, the ever so slight tempo increase and beautiful flute made me like this more than the source already, but then the guitar hit and I fell in love with the whole thing. This was excellent and highly recommended.
  9. What an interesting and nice take on the boss theme from SMW. The latin flavor really shines through and the piano sounded great, same as the flute. Small nitpick on a weird bit of flute playing two-thirds of the way in, but nothing that completely soured me on this one.
  10. This has a really good combination of percussion and funk that sounds great together, and the bit of distortion effects worked well with beat. Good mix.
  11. Some quality intricate chiptune and glitchy electronica work in this one. I can follow it for the most part, and it stays interesting to say the least. I'm cool with the ending because of how the rest of the mix was presented. Not bad.
  12. The electric guitar coming in midway after the opening was cool, because even though it was more powerful, it still felt peaceful somehow, which is crazy to me. A good relaxing take on two beautiful tunes ending on some nice sfx, both soothing and nostalgic.
  13. Hell of a lot of energy and properly danceable as a good trance track. Nice little nods to other themes which added more to the mix. Another fine piece from the Briggs collection.
  14. I really, really dig the idea of the mix switching between lower and higher energy sections to mirror the blackout basement level and the power going on and off. Super cool idea that works and sounds fantastic. Awesome ReMix!
  15. There's really no other way to put it other than to say that it does sound like a musical journey through the oceans of DK Isle. Subtle and not so subtle changes throughout keep the mix interesting and doesn't feel like it lasts too long. Not bad at all.
  16. I really liked how this ReMix started with the melody mostly true to the source and then continue to expand and morph as the mix went on, feeling more and more unique. Solid trance mix with a great beat.
  17. Four and a half hours for something this incredible is unbelievable. Really enjoyed the inclusion of the prelude here, and the entire mix is a treat for chippy mix lovers. Highly recommended.
  18. Polka is almost always fun, but inject it with sugary edm and you get a sweet mix that can brighten the day. Very fun, love it.
  19. Very good showcase of the marimba and the different feelings they can invoke from minor to happier stuff. Smoother transitions would have to be my only nitpick, but overall not bad at all.
  20. MkVaff has had a lot of great pulse ReMixes hit in the last few months and this is another banger. Awesome to see another Vega mix get a jolt of energy like this.
  21. Absolutely not the arrangement I would expect for this theme, but it's so much fun and impressively put together all the same. Perfect fit for an October drinking party, polka at it's best.
  22. Oh yeah, this screams mountain shrine or monk temple. So much so that I'd probably use it for a DnD game for background music. As was stated, the original tune is there, it's just arranged heavily and I think that's fine for the sake of the ReMix and the vibe it's going for, but I can understand if people are looking for something more straightforward. To each their own. I love this soothing mix.
  23. Arrangement-wise, it makes me imagine Booster's Tower taken over by Smithy's gang and turned into a Snifit factory. Fun glitchy sounds galore and the trumpet was awesome.
  24. Pretty cool how some of the notes either come in a hair faster or slower or sound like they're held a bit longer to switch up the source. That's a unique way to change things up beyond just the genre. Good energy and production, this was not bad at all.
  25. Good interpretation of Ryu's stage, giving it a bit more japanese flair than it originally had, like a nice brush over. Nothing crazy but strong and focused, which is cool. Nice sfx usage as well. The fade out could have faded a little longer, but that's just me. Pretty good mix.
