OCR02033 - Castlevania: Bloodlines "Unintentional"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Awesome! This has the CastleVania feel written all over it and that arrangement is to die for. Such rocking gothy goodness in a little less than five minute package makes this an enjoyable ReMix for sure. Some of the production bits were the only drawback, but hell, for a debut this was a damn good one. -
OCR02026 - Golden Axe II "Battle Axe-Wielding Dwarf"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Strong orchestral intro into a kickin' electro-rock ReMix? Yes please! Electro-rock has to be one of my favorite sources and this arrangement is simply amazing. Love the addition of the piano at points, and the piano outro was a nice touch. Great ReMix. -
Listening to ReMixes like this one makes me just want to jump in a space ship and start shooting at anything that moves. For the safety of my community, it's probably a good thing I don't have a space ship then. So since that won't happen, I guess I'll just get by through putting this on my play list. bLiNd does another hit electronica mix, what more is there to say?

OCR02024 - Kirby's Block Ball "Breakout"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Pretty good trance track. The energy had just enough "umf" to it to keep the beat going and there was enough instrumentation to keep me interested. I really enjoyed the break down in the middle before building it back up to finish strong. Fantastic ReMix with a hint of classic OCR in it. -
Happy Birthday!

OCR02023 - Final Fantasy VIII "Shine Tonight"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Pretty bouncy and happy, with nice glitchy vocals. Poolside has a great harmony between them, which, considering the use of autotune and other technological voice stuffs, that's a damn good feat. I am grateful for the lyrics tab at times though. But yeah, this song really picks up halfway through. Catchy and really fun to listen to, and about the only thing I could nitpick about is that I wasn't fond of the quick ending. Poolside is made of win. -
That electronic opening was pretty damn cool. Lots of action and energy out of this one with it's electronic drum and bass beat, with a sweet breakdown in the middle. Wonderful use of sax as well. It feels like it's short even though it really isn't, but I guess that's just how good it is. Love that synthy guitar.

OCR02021 - Ecco: The Tides of Time (GEN) "Another Seascape"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
So soothing and peaceful. I really love Ecco's soundtrack, so hearing another quality ReMix from it makes my night. Halc's delicious chip-tunes show up to add some charm to the light, watery, floaty instruments of this piece. Glorious and nice work on the title as well. -
OCR02020 - Wolfenstein 3D "Blazkowicz's Great Escape"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Truly cinematic and dynamic in it's sound. Beckett's style is one of the most epic styles you can ReMix in, and this shows how damn good things can get when you take a great source and fill it with grand orchestration and lots of DUN DUN! You really hammered in the drama on this ReMix. Awesome. -
OCR02019 - Super Mario Land 2 "Seizing the Castle"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This does remind me quite a lot of Castlevania. Great concept for Wario's Castle. And of course Willrock's guitar play is sweet. This ReMix is nice and dark, with plenty of organs and guitar, just the way I like it. Love the ending as well. Definitely going to snag this one for my playlist. -
I have to say it, I love this ReMix for how different it is. The grand little intro switching to the more zany western sound was interesting. The whole ReMix has a bouncy weirdness to it, and it's unique. The vocals and whistling wouldn't have worked in my opinion if this ReMix wasn't so wacky to begin with, but because it is, it worked perfectly. This ReMix is charmingly goofy.

OCR02015 - Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia "Sparkle"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Smooth and sexy, this is just what I've come to expect from Morse's work and he doesn't fail to deliver here. The piano and percussion are marvelous and the light feel to the whole ReMix is awesome. So cool, so chill, so good. Morse rocks it as always. -
OCR02014 - Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past "Utopia"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
As close to the source as it was when it started, it branched out very well when it pasted that golden point. Acoustic guitar to me is like the solo-piano of guitars, so to hear a Zelda piece with it is beautiful. The sound came off crisp, and the arrangement was great once things kicked up. Love it. -
OCR02012 - Final Fantasy IV "Full of Courage"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
One amazing track from the album for sure. This orchestral pieces just brings a lot of the feelings of grand adventuring from the game into it, and makes it really epic. There are many ways that this could have played out, and I think this was the best way. Really, I don't know what much else to say beside that the emotions of this ReMix really help carry it along with the arrangement. Very good. -
OCR02010 - Omega Five "Neon Glaciers"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
So we go from cool-ass beat to funky-ass beat. Lots of good ass-er, I mean, good beats in here today. This ReMix is a good ReMix to dance to and I really can't complement it enough on that enjoyable beat. Ending is a bit abrupt, but not enough to turn me away from it. Neon Glaciers, another win in my book. -
That must have been one hell of a dinner. Anyway, this ReMix is very cool. That bassline and the beat just sounds so right, and it works so well as the focus of the intro and outro, with the rest of the substance filling in the middle. This is the kind of song that makes you feel cool when listening to it while walking down a hallway. Love it.

OCR02008 - Star Fox Adventures "Fossil's Oasis"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Terrific work on this collab by two of the best ReMixers on the site. LuIzA and Level 99 shredded the hell out of this one and I adored the pick up right after 0:47. Great arrangement, great production, sounds badass, can't ask for much more. -
Happy Bronxday!

The voting seems to be working nicely. I kinda like the more suspenseful PM voting, but it'd be nice to see the chart at the end. Honestly, loved the first round works, everyone. Keep it up!

OCR02472 - Mega Man X3 "Super Fighting Robot X"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
It does sound retro in a good way and that's part of the charm. This ReMix gives off a sort of Genesis/Halen combo that does the theme more justice than it could have ever asked for. Loved the middle genesis organ-sounding bit and that solo was very cool. -
Congratulations, Mazedad!
