  1. Ahhhh, now this is relaxing and chill. I could probably tune right out and maybe even drift off to this one on repeat. It's a little airy and the ending goes past that and straight into spacey. Enjoyed the soloing around the 1:05 mark as well as the key change later on. Well done, Ben.
  2. Okay, I saw Jazz Metal in the write up and I was like "wha?", but then I totally got it and it sounds great. That intro was pretty twisted and almost psychotic. Loved the jazzy arrangement backed by the glitchy guitar. Sax work here was very well done. The ticking clock breakdown was a pretty cool way to get in that jazz and electronic undertone. Really, the only thing I think would have been better is if the clock didn't fade out and kept ticking through the entire jazz break, but that's just me nit-picking because I really couldn't find fault with this ReMix. I wouldn't mind hearing more Jazz Metal/Rock Electronica ReMixes. Highly recommended.
  3. Nice, man! Very dark, like something's approaching with a chilling tense purpose. I immensely loved the combo of the strings, synths and piano here. It was almost short, but I actually think it was done perfectly in the time you gave it. The contrasts in the middle with the slightly lighter melody before going back into that darker dynamic area was great. Not a fan of the fade out, but it didn't really bug me all that much. Sweet stuff.
  4. So chill......kinda sounds like a lullaby in some areas. It's got an airy sleepy quality that just makes me want to relax and space out to. It's really cool to hear the chiptune style of halc matched up with Brandon's guitars, and it sounds completely unique. Pretty good.
  5. Hahaha, I read the Vince DiCola backstory as the Rocky inspired riff played and I loved it. Gotta love how you can fit not one, but two little nods in the ReMix name. It does have a good driving feeling that is perfect for a workout or really anything else that needs that added bit of determination in it. The drums hit hard and the entire ReMix rocks pretty hard in an almost heroic way. Yeah, in terms of how good it is, this ReMix must (and probably will) break you.
  6. Oh, man that intro is so awesome! Way to give it that 80's and classic rock sound that I love so much. The synth break was really well done and the pure raw energy coming off this ReMix was great. Both the arrangement and production sound top-notch and overall this is a very strong tune. Nice to see two great sources turn out like this.
  7. Uh-huh, I'm really hearing Zimmer in those dark strings for sure. That being said, this is an absolutely fantastic ReMix! It really does sound like it would fit in a soundtrack, especially the more it picks up with the tempo change and builds towards the end. The drums work and adding the vocalizing was awesome, but I really have to echo that this is a bit short in the sense that you're almost expecting (and wanting) more because the first two minutes seemed to build up so well, then end. A little teasing, but it was still a solid song.
  8. Huh. Kinda like Spaghetti Western with a little bit of synthy guitar and a good hip-hop beat to it, almost like a something to a modern western feel. I like this quite a lot actually, and although I'm not overly fond of the bass later on in the ReMix, this maintains the feel of the genre pretty well and being a fan of the game myself, it's nice to hear it get good lovin' like this. The arrangement was well done, and whenever the production seemed to shake a little, the rest of the song covered it nicely.
  9. Oooh! Yeah, what an spectacular ReMix we have right here. I was not expecting Morse to go this hard, but the harder and tougher version of his style is totally welcomed here. Funky and swift, but with an aggressive and rough touch, and it all comes out to a great song. The arrangement was great with the nice piano ending and the synth work was downright sexy. Very interesting ReMix.
  10. Stevo and Willrock shredding and working together on one song makes for another great track on Around The World! Amazing soloing and guitar work, and the drums sound good from the intro all the way to the end, even if it did sound kinda weird to end the ReMix on. I'm a fan of the 80's synth rock genre and I really have no complaints on this one. Nice work.
  11. Wow, what a treat, you can definitely hear CarboHydroM's style in this ReMix. Fantastic drumming, the synthes were well done and the guitars really did give this a live sound. Amazing work with the climax and giving this tune the upbeat loving it deserved. Totally loved how the arrangement was handled and this was a great closer track for the album. Great job.
  12. Oh, yeah, dark and menacingly evil. Me like. The intro reminded me of Psycho before it dropped the hammer. The organ was done to perfection and adding in the bells at 2:30 with the lowered background sound was cool, almost like a little peak of insanity, and it was my favorite part of the ReMix. The whole thing is like an aggressive march of doom. The harpsichord was a nice change, but the fade-out seemed a little too quick. Minor gripe aside, this sounds like a winner to me.
  13. Whoa, haha, I wasn't expecting that. I should listen to the song before reading the write-ups more often. I actually like the filtering electronic vocals, and it fit the pop/electronica genre so well. The "dadada"'s at the end were great for an ending. So happy and poppy, and the lyrics were great. I don't know how to explain it, but I loved the little change-up/circusy music on the "Can't be without you" verse. It was a terrific way to break up the main beat. Another amazing track off of NiGHTS.
  14. DA's vocals are just simply beautiful. They take this ReMix so high up to the next level. The guitar and drum work was spectacular as well. It's a great "flying through the sky" ReMix. Nice, soft intro taking off into a stronger area was great, and the peaceful ending coming off the energetic lead was sweet. The entire ReMix flowed seamlessly and this is one of my favorite tracks off the album. I like the name, too. Awesome work, OA and DA!
  15. I've always loved the Azalea Town song and to hear it given a ReMix like this brings a smile to my face. It really holds onto the feeling of the original, chill and peaceful, but with a nice upbeat arrangement. It's a good tune to relax to, Pretty cool to hear WillRock change it up a bit and still deliver immensely. Really well done.
  16. The intro was fairly amusing, mostly because it doesn't even seem like part of the rest of the ReMix. The samples show their age here and while I like the idea and arrangement, I just think time caught up with this one. Fading out and coming back in with a force was a nice bit of work, but the ending wasn't the most stellar thing ever. This is yet another ReMix I'd like to hear with a ten year make over, cause I think it would do wonders.
  17. Ah, such a great job with the piano, making the entire ReMix nice and smooth. The little piano break was cool and had a bit of jazz feel to it. The whole arrangement itself was ace. It's got a nice little ambeant soundscape feeling that is perfect for a gift I'm setting up for a family member. Pretty cool how you can get this kind of ReMix from such a crazy source, but that's the beauty of it. Very nice.
  18. I'm aiming for at least 100 by the end of the month, so we'll see if I can get back on track this week.
  19. Yes! Now this is my type of dance/trance! For a ReMix that was done in four hours, I'm impressed as all hell that such a great tune could be made in such a short time. The beats hit hard and the both the source theme and the trance style are really well represented. I just wish it was a tad longer, but considering what you managed to fill in a two and a half minute ReMix, that's just the trance lover in me talking. Fantastic stuff.
  20. Nice. I'm digging the 80's italo-disco arrangement of this ReMix. It really does bring in that 80's feel and I really like that. Some of the sections seemed a bit sharp and loud to me, but I'm not all that bothered. All together, this is a very good mix that holds up the style it was going for really well. I actually liked the ending myself. Good job.
  21. Oh, yep, I hear the Muse and Satriani in here. Loving the guitar/piano-organ combo used in this ReMix. I enjoyed the change up around 3:00 and this is probably just me, but I got a ethnic vibe off one of the guitar's melodys (in the way it was played, not so much the sound) in there around 3:25, which was cool. Wonderful work, Fishy.
  22. Oh, god, that distorted bell gong is sooo good! I'm so glad you both opened and ended the ReMix with them. The whole thing plays out like a scene into what hell looks like if you were to look at it through a window. Industrial Waltz seems to be perfectly demented for this sort of music. The hellish SFX were impressive and fit the ReMix perfectly. Amazing work with the organ as well Dark, demonic and I love every bit of it. This is my kind of ReMix and completely recommended.
  23. Whoa, whoa, whoa......electronica pan flute!? That is so awesome! The intro is a great attention getter. The percussion sounded top-notch, with a sweet rhythm and the whole arrangement was terrific in my view. Without a doubt one of the stars in the album and while I would have liked the ending to have taken a little more time to fade out, I have no real complaints here. Nice job.
  24. A bit unnerving, but in a good way. I don't think I've ever heard vocal clicks percussion like that before, and it was pretty interesting. The bassline and sci-fi sounds were pretty cool and the entire ReMix had a great energy to it coming off those solid beats. Wasn't a fan of the sudden ending, but overall, pretty tight ReMix.
  25. Grand orchestral booming bass. It does have a kind of Rome/military march feel to it and you can really feel the power coming off of it. It's got a lot of dynamics in it that gives it more scope, and I like it. The very beginning kinda sounded a little sinister to me, but whether or not it was supposed to, it sounded great, and so did the ending. Well done.
