OCR01973 - Castlevania: Symphony of the Night "Wet Dreams"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I would love to know what it is about Castlevania songs that lend themselves so well to these kinds of funky, groovy ReMixes. But forget the details, as DJP pointed out, this does remind me a bit of Morse's work with the 'Vania stuff, but this sounds amazing. Smooth, with a bit of a dark creeping vibe to it, and throw in the spanish sounding guitar for good measure. A great days work for the symphony of the night. -
First things first, the vocals sounded heavenly. The vibrato kind of makes it hard to hear at some points, that's minor to me. This has an easy, haunting and "elegance in darkness" kind of feels to it, and it really did the trick. Nice work.

OCR01971 - Langrisser II "The Prophecy of Alhazard"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Badass! This is the kind of rocking ReMix that I can listen to all day long and never get the least bit tired of. I keep wanting to say that 1:30 to 2:00 reminds me of another ReMix I really like, but as usual my memory fails me at the moment. The guitars playing is superb, the drums are good enough for me, and all around, it just kicks a lot of ass. This is the kind of mix that demands to be played loud, and it's better that way. Best mix I've heard in a while. -
OCR01969 - Marble Madness "raMble and Mess"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This one took me a little while to get into because of the repetition, but there isn't a whole hell of a lot you can do all things considering and without the subtle variations, I think it could have been a lot worse. Taking a source like this one and making a ReMix out of it that is decent like this one is a nice little feat. This particular one isn't the kind of thing I'll have on repeat, but it was good and it was nice first showing. Keep it going. -
OCR01967 - Romancing SaGa 3 "Romancing the Bossa"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Ah, latin piano! The first slower half was nice and easy to listen to, making it a top tapper for sure, but then when it picked up, I could feel the energy just take off! Going from classy to party in one fell swoop, that's genius for a guy like me. Perfect for groovin' with that latin vibe. -
OCR01966 - Mega Man ZX "Flames of Darkness"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I think the best thing here for me is that there is enough variation over the course of the ReMix while keeping the melody going. I really enjoyed the piano-over-the-trance parts and while this is not mind blowing, it has a solid base and really shines as a debut. Good work, man, looking forward to more. -
Thanks OCR! (For helping BGC's wifey!)

Added a last minute like for ya! Awesome pieces of work. -
Happy birthday to the both of you!

This for me. I don't ever cry at anything really, but this one and a few other games got me to lump up a little.

Happy BowDay, Arrow!

Deia is extremely cool and an amazing ReMixer. Seriously, one of the coolest people on OCR.

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.
