OCR02122 - Sonic the Hedgehog 2 "Above the Sky"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
WillRock rocks the solo-piano, and it's impressive. The quality sounds amazing and the whole ReMix is beautiful. I've noticed that Sonic songs seem to really lend themselves well to emotional solo-piano mixes and this is a great example. Great job. -
Nice to be running into so many great vocal ReMixes here lately. This one is great, and the feeling that you can imagine between the music and lyrics makes this one of the best takes on Wily 1 that I can remember. Wonderful arrangement, great production, and it's just plain good. Can't get much better than that.

OCR02120 - Duke Nukem 3D "All Outta Gum"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Mazedude is probably the best I've heard when it comes to industrial pieces like this. So epic. That organ with the heavy beat, mixed with song electronic instrumentation, it's like a three layer cake of awesomeness. Dark and evil, electronic, with an organ and sweet beat, this ReMix is right up my alley. Downloaded before the thing even got halfway. -
OCR02119 - Castlevania III "Demonic Conception"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Man, that guitar goes hard! What a sick riff that just sounds so evil with the beat over top of it. It's nice to hear funky and evil in the same place, and this is one of my favorite tunes on this album. Nice work, man. -
OCR02116 - Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages "Eyes in the Deep"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Man, that intro is pretty sexy. Nice beat to it. I like the piano work and the atmosphere of this ReMix is great. The change in tempo was a cool touch. Well done on this one. -
OCR02118 - Super Meat Boy "Power of the Meat"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Wow! Those are some catchy as hell lyrics. I'm liking the mixing on the vocals and the way it just flows with the music, and Melinda's voice is awesome. Seriously, I think her voice was perfect for this. The arrangement of the music is just so damn good. Instant recommendation on this one. -
OCR02117 - DDRMAX Dance Dance Revolution "Insomniac Skies"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Oooh that violin, so good. Amy's vocals here are absolutely beautiful and the harmony of this track is just way too cool. I gotta say, I'm so glad the acoustic guitar was used for this, it adds so much to the tempo and feel of the ReMix. Hell, when the composer says it's awesome, you can't really dispute it, and I wouldn't dare try. Love it. -
OCR02098 - Chrono Trigger "Third Eye"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Very nice trance ReMix, with a good length and production. Not too heavy and something I can lean back and listen to. It got just a hair repetitive in some areas, but that's nothing to complain about. Good stuff. -
Nekofrog is simply epic on guitar, he really is. This really has a "just before the real fight begins" feel to it, with melody and beat just waiting to break out. The fade out doesn't bother me considering the sound this brings. The voice clip was a little tough to hear, but really I can't find a problem with this ReMix. Nice work.

OCR02072 - Diddy Kong Racing "Shiva Nataraja"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Pretty cool electronic ReMix. The percussion was sweet and the ethnic flavor made this work completely. The breakdown was a great touch with the little monkey yelps and I'm loving the energy of this. Nice work. -
Happy Birthday Damned!

OCR02029 - Metroid Prime "Samus's Lonesome Waltz"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Oh hell yeah! Love that intro right before it kicks it up with that heavy metal riff. Honestly, the title source I was not expecting like this, but it sounds amazing. And those bells that kicked in later on just added.....more to it. The little voice bit was a nice add on and between the arrangement, production and guitar work, this is one of the best ReMixes I've heard in a while. This would be the most badass waltz in history to have. -
OCR02018 - Team Fortress 2 "Electrodispenser"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Wow, this is some kind of crunchy, dirty goodness! But what else can you expect from someone like Zircon? Those reverbs are just plain sick, and the arrangement along with it was really well done. Hard-hitting stuff and I'm loving it! -
OCR01492 - Final Fantasy VII "The Twelfth Commandment"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Pretty sweet guitar and drum playing here. The breakdown and piano bits made for a good break in between the sections, and I'm really fond of the ending. -
OCR01996 - Dark Cloud 2 "Before Everything Happened"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Impressive electronica work. Very solid, enjoyable and listenable. I'm loving the beat to this and the backing melody. Great debut track. -
Whoa, first off, that sax.....so sexy. I love the lyrics and vocals to this ReMix, and while I do enjoy the echo in it, it sounded like there was just a hair too much echo on every part except for the when the sax cut and other parts cut off and we got to the more organy parts. I think it was just a little too busy, that's all, no big deal. Honestly, besides that little nitpick, this is a very cool mix. I even liked the fading ending.

OCR01964 - Final Fantasy VII "Aire Tam Break"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Probably my favorite Fishy song yet. The slow intro building the ReMix up was brilliant, and when those guitars opened up, shit got real. This is how you do battle themes. I heard the Pendulum influence as well, which makes this ReMix even better. Nice dark break in the middle there, I love how it rebuilds from there to drive the intensity back in. Nice change-up right after the sample, that made me grin. Simply amazing. -
OCR01962 - Virtua Fighter 2 "Juunen Hayaindayou"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Dude, I could totally hear this in bloodsport or kickboxer or something of the like. And thank god for the voice sample in the beginning because I wouldn't be able to pronounce the title. Terrific work with the synth and drums, you got my love for 80's just a-going. Nice work, WillRock. -
OCR01961 - Ghosts'n Goblins (NES) "Ghosts'n Condoms"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
The title gave me a good laugh and a mental image I would care not to share. This ReMix is funky as hell and it just comes off as weird and crazy, which is pretty cool. I can get a haunting vibe out of it near the end. The moans weren't as good as they could have been, but they were out of the way enough to add to the song, rather than take away from it, so great job. Nice stuff. -
Oooh, baby! Those guitars! Let the wahwahs loose! As much as I hated the zone itself, I've always loved the tune for this stage, and Prince of Darkness just let loose a flurry of awesome sauce with this funky ReMix. And those solos and original points were....well, on point. Wonderful arrangement by PoD and GB. We have a winner here.

OCR01951 - Secret of Evermore "Canine Labyrinth"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Wooo, boy, this was a long one. But for good reason. The piano was nicely built up and the playing was nicely done. I didn't hear any production issues and the arrangement was nice. This ReMix could really be good for listening to while reading. Excellent. -
This is a work of art. I think that this really does a great job of having a good zen feeling to it that is peaceful, but too chill. Loving the storming effects. The only thing that would have made this better is if the rain and thunder continued through the whole song, but that's just me. Amazing electronica work here. I really love it.

OCR01949 - Panzer Dragoon II Zwei "Lagi's Takeoff"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
A bit short, but it's pretty good as far as the percussion mixed with electro-stral elements on it. Sounds like something out of a tense travel moment in a movie a few years back. Great work. -
OCR01948 - Final Fantasy VIII "SeeD Mission"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Great rocking ReMix right here. Enough variation to keep the interest going, good playing of the instruments and the production holds up well. All around a good ReMix. -
OCR01946 - Final Fantasy VI "A World of Decisions"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I say this a lot, but it's true. Solo piano, when done right, can be great for almost any source. This is excellent playing and a wonderful performance. Not knowing the source helped me focus a little more on the production and arrangement of this ReMix, and this was a great song for sure. Great job.
