OCR02253 - Chrono Trigger "The Last Schala Mix Ever"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Wow. You know, when ReMixes are good, I don't really care how many of a certain tune there are. This chill urban mix is very cool and to combine some of that acoustic guitar with Halc's style made this melody even better. Last Schala? Nah. One of the better ones, though? That is for damn sure. -
Man, if Sitenno gets done, I will hit the roof in excitement!

OCR02242 - Final Fantasy XIII "Blue Skies"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Holy crap! I saw drum and bass in the write up, and I wasn't expecting something beautiful like this. The vocals are wonderful, Ashleigh has an amazing voice. I really liked the use of effects on the vocals about halfway in, and of course bLiNd's mixing is masterful. Very nice. -
OCR02241 - Final Fantasy VIII "SeeK"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
It's really something spectacular when orchestral elements meet aggressive rock in this manner. Snappleman, Lastair and Norg is a damn good combo. Those solos are hot and the arrangement itself was very well done. -
Best coincidence ever? Either way, this is an awesome drum and bass sounding ReMix with a bit of 8-bit beat to it. I'm loving this.

OCR02430 - Mega Man X6 & X5 "Countdown to Infinity"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Infinity Flea's Final Countdown intro is so damn epic that not including it would have been a crime. So what did Willrock do? He used it over and over in different ways just to crank up the goodness. Willrock took an amazing theme and a.....not so amazing theme, and mixed them together in a stew of 80's metal and rock and it sounds like it would fit in with Europe's disk. Damn good. -
OCR02207 - Final Fantasy V "Dragon Wings"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Beautiful. Loving the majestic feeling of flying through the skies in this (that's what I feel anyway). It's always cool to hear orchestral music that seems to enhance everything that the originals had in them. Much respect on this one. -
OCR02192 - Pokémon Diamond Version "Bullet for My Piloswine"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Ha, nice intro. I have to say that the title is a complete and utter win. Loving the guitar, piano and overall arrangement and the production sounds top notch. Everything just blends in perfectly between the different unique styles from you three. This is one of the best tracks off the album for sure. -
OCR02189 - Chrono Trigger "The Frog Dance"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I actually like the fact that it sounds a little old school. Not sure where all the hate is coming from. No, it's not mind blowing, but I thought it was nicely done and for the genre that was done here with Frog's theme, I think it turned out better old school than if someone tried to do it otherwise in the same vain. It's a good ReMix. Nothing more needs to be said. -
OCR02188 - Final Fantasy XI Online "A Cinematic Heaven"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This is a very nice orchestral ReMix. I think the title says it all on this one, it's like a cinematic heaven and I'm really liking the blending of styles here. Nice work! -
OCR02170 - Reset Generation "Remix Generation"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Nice references in the song's lyrics. I gotta admit, there was a little too much going on with the vocal effects which made it hard to hear, but it was catchy and the music was amazing. Not saying it was bad at all, I just had to look at the lyrics tab to understand them. I like this a lot, and after I got used to the idea of it sounding half vocal half instrumental, it got a lot better. Very nice! -
OCR02167 - Mega Man 9 "Blown Mind Bolero"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Would it be wrong of me to say that this almost sounds like an MMX version of the MM9 tune here? Cause the metal and energy really makes me think of that, and it's awesome. The use of the guitar for the melody while the underlying guitar beat gives it that added intensity was really cool. Yes, this could blow minds. -
OCR02139 - Final Fantasy IV "Crazy Old Betty"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
It does sound playfully dark, like something out of a Tim Burton movie. It fits the idea of an asylum inmate slowly losing it. The idea with the radio intro and outro was really cool. A bit short, but very enjoyable. -
OCR02127 - Animal Crossing "Camrade"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This sounds like it would come right off a Santana CD, especially in the intro. Liking the whistle and piano work here and this is a spicy little ReMix that I can stand behind. A little short, but adds to the charm here. -
OCR02126 - King Kong 2 (MSX) "End of the Adventure"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Yep, you can't really miss the PotC feel in this one, which makes it that much better in my opinion. The piano and strings were excellent in this and it screams "we're going on an epic journey". Love the way the drums were used here, not too loud, but you have a great crisp sound to it. Great ending as well. -
OCR02125 - Ristar "Fiesta Amongst the Trees"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Very tropical in a jazzy kind of way, nice. Funny thing is I just got finished with a class that went over Afro-Cuban music and this would have fit right in. It's got a good beat to get your toe tapping, and I could relax and lay back to this with a nice cold drink. Yeah, this is so good, I like it. Shame to hear about the cuts, though. -
OCR02123 - Sonic the Hedgehog 3 "Red Sphere, Blue Sphere"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
How yeah, I hear the Mario RPG-like beat to this. That's pretty sweet, actually. I've always loved the Sonic 3 special stage tune and to hear it get this kind of upgrade is a day brightener. The ending was nice, but I would have love it if the die out lasted just a bit longer. All in all, this a cool little ReMix.
