OCR02394 - Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney "Carry the Moment"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Funny how I was in a Phoenix Wright mood both game and music-wise all week, and then a new Ace Attorney ReMix gets posted. OA, you did an amazing job with "Cornered" and "Questioning" here, and I think this the best PW ReMix you've done so far. I thought the ending transition was pretty good myself, but I can understand how the tempo change could trip people up. Love the energy of the entire mix and the guitar work was terrific. Only a foolish fool could say that this ReMix is bad IMO. Great work, OA! -
Happy birthday, Jillian Aversa! (Also, new website!)

Happy Birthday, Jillian A.! -
: So, I just got done playing PW:AA (again) and after hearing some good tunes from Case 5, Rise from the Ashes, I figured I just throw out a couple of suggestions for ReMixes I think the ReMixers around here could pull off with pretty sweet results. I don't think these have been asked for yet..... Blue Badger's Theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmzXJCZoD-E Come on, how could you hate the Blue Badger or his theme? It's so light and bouncy! Damon Gant's Theme: I bet someone could put a nice classical spin on this with real organs or something like that. Jake Marshall's Theme: This source is just begging to get the spaghetti western ReMix treatment and I think a ReMixer that is good at that would have a blast with it. If anyone feels like giving these three a try, I'll look forward to seeing how it turns out. Thanks!

OCR02383 - Street Fighter II "Coconut Milk"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Probably the best Sagat theme ReMix I've ever heard. Sagat's theme is usually tailored-made to being done in a way that is soft and laid-back, so a nice tropical beat made from it just seems right. The arrangement and production sound great and there's plenty of variety for the ears to feast on. Great work on this one! -
My prayers will be with him and his loved ones during this ordeal.

Raffle, raffle.........this suspense is going to drive me nuts......raffle, raffle. Even if I don't win something, I'm just happy I got over my goal of 100 ReViews. I'm impressed by the amount everyone got done, especially Rexy, Bahamut and Mirby. -
Happy Birthday, Deia!!!

Strangely, I actually liked this ReMix quite a lot. The dark, creepy atmosphere was pretty evident in this and I can see what he was aiming for at least. I have to agree that the synth guitar should have either been tweeked a bit or taken out completely, but I thought the screams worked here. In a dark torturous ReMix like this, screams just sounded right to me here, though I could easily understand why it's not for everyone. The percussion work is obviously the best part of the ReMix, and while it overall does show it's age, I enjoyed it. Without the guitar, or with a better sounding guitar, I think this would have been amazing. On a side note, the video preview glitches up a little after the 3:40 mark. Just sayin'.

OCR02366 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV "The Shredder"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This is without a doubt my favorite ReMix off of the BadAss album by far. The heavy guitars in the intro leading up to the movie quote by Shredder himself was great. The entire mix sounded tense and chaotic in a good way, like a fight song should, and the transition from Shredder's battle theme to the Boss theme and back was excellent. Great work with the drums and other backing instruments. This basically had everything I could have asked for in a Shredder ReMix and more. Terrific work, Sixto. -
Best news I've heard all week. Can't wait.

OCR02202 - Tetris "The Peddler's Legacy"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Sounds amazingly real to me! I love how the tempo changes over the course of the ReMix, almost like it's matching the feeling of the game as it progresses. One of the best arranged Tetris ReMixes I've heard, and being done in folk style just made it even more official. Sweet stuff. -
OCR01832 - Super Dodge Ball "Breakbeat Market"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Man, this really screams Chinese in style and sound. Loved the use of the market sounds in the intro and I actually like the ending. It's one of those ReMixes that just really click well altogether. Nice work on this. -

I counted somewhere around 748 links and I'm sure there was at least 50 to 100 reviews done by people who didn't link their reviews. So my best guess is at least 800 reviews were done for the month. -
OCR02361 - Pokémon Blue Version "Blue Haze"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This was one of my favorites off the album. Taking a happy melody and turning it into a dark ambient ReMix like this is awesome. Loved the intro and the whole arrangement altogether. The soloing was nice and I actually don't have a problem with the drums, though I can hear why some may have. Great collab, guys. -
OCR02362 - Mega Man 3 "Serpent's Spiral"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I'm really diggin' the intro to this ReMix here. The chiptune/rock mix of styles works really well in the first half and I actually like how this becomes a bit more ambient as it goes on. Ending could have been a little better, but the rest of the tune sounds great. Nice arrangement and a strong debut track. Well done, man. -
OCR02359 - EarthBound "The Great Blizzard of '9X"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Very happy and wonderfully chippy! Perfect sounds for a great Christmas day, even if it was pretty much a green one. This has halc's great chip-tune style written all over it and all of it was enjoyable. Nice work. -
December is OCR Reviews Month! SAVE OCR!
Crulex replied to OceansAndrew's topic in General Discussion
HOLY CRAP! I take off for the holidays, and when I come back, OA is already down? Damn! Well, that was fun, but I'll try to keep reviewing until the end of the month (then take a month off to recover). And I've been waiting to do this since the start of this month, so..... -
I love the piano and acoustic guitar combination work here, and the whole ReMix is simply beautiful and gorgeous. Very peaceful and appropriate to it's nature, which I loved. Everything sounded really good, and if anything came up that sounded a hair off, the arrangement masked it, which made it that much better. It sounds dreamy and gentle, perfect for a lullaby, especially how the ReMix itself seems to drift off to sleep which I thought was cool. Fantastic job.

OCR02150 - Return All Robots! "Quicksilver"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Oh, man, you can really get an icy atmospheric feel off of this one, especially in the intro. That beat is nice and solid, and the ambiance of this track is spectacular. It may be a bit more upbeat than a soundscape, but it's still chill enough to relax to and you can get a lot of peace out of this tune. Awesome work on this ReMix. -
A jazzy Drum and Bass ReMix, huh? We'll let's see here. Yeah, very laid back and mellow, but with a great grooving beat, that's something I really enjoy. I know what this reminds me of musically, but I can't put my finger on it at the moment, but it's good. Breaking down into half-tempo halfway through was a great move. I liked the arrangement here and the epiano sounded very nice. Great ReMix.
