I roped me a woman! (i.e. Larry popped the question!)

Way to go, Larry! Congratulations! -
OCR00638 - Final Fantasy VI & IV "Engineer Cid (Factory Mix)"
Crulex replied to orkybash's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This is a really fun ReMix that makes my ears happy. I can get the feeling of a parade with the grand sounds and upbeat marching of Cid's theme. I guess that would be my favorite part of the mix, it keeping up with the upbeatness of the original Cid's FFIV theme. It's pretty cool to hear it with the FFVI bits added in as well. Well done. -
OCR01181 - Sonic the Hedgehog 3 "Sonik Elektronik"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I think I'm in love...with this ReMix. Funky, 80's breakin' and good, I mean real good electronica that actually sounds downright robotic. Hell, you even nailed the robovoices. And the fadeout ending leads itself well for the 80's feel that you were going for. Damn, few ReMixes make me want to dance, but this is one of those ReMixes that is hard for me to still to while listening to it. -
OCR02239 - Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island "Facing Fears"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I remember this as a WIP that Briggs pointed out to me when I said I hated the Zelda low heart and Baby Mario's crying SFX. Anyway, glad to see it pass the judges and hit the front page. Now I have heard two horrible SFX's put in great ReMixes, which is astounding. The middle section with the boos and count down was impressive. I think the chip-tuneiness keeps the charm of the original while expanding and reorganizing the sound. And yes, the site could always use more SMW2 ReMixes. -
OCR01425 - Sonic the Hedgehog 3 "Aquatic Pressure"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Absolutely terrific ReMix. The upbeat sound, the energy, it was all cool with me. For some reason I got a weird MMX vibe from it in some parts. I can't really explain that one besides possibly the groove of the beat may have reminded me of it, but it's a good thing, trust me. I'm all for ReMixes that can blend in different genres to make something new and intriguing and this is one of them. -
OCR02238 - Final Fantasy IV "Path of Deception"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Love it. The reversed female vocals really caught my attention and being backed up by a smooth progressive theme isn't bad either. I really liked that it varies the sound throughout the track so that it doesn't become stale or anything like that. Great work. -
Oh yeah! I love the island feeling of this ReMix right here. Nice and tropical, especially with the steel drums. Then it goes into a bit of a chameleon effect, changing slightly every few seconds while maintaining the feeling. Wasn't blown away by the ending, but I didn't hate it. Just didn't seem to fit with the rest of the mix to me. Still enjoyed it and it made for a successful collab.

OCR02236 - Pokémon Red Version "Out of the Palace"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Interesting. I quite liked the whole switch up between the piano and guitar sections. Fantastic energy and a good beat to it as well coming off the drums. I liked how you managed to mix in the main theme as well. A bit short, but it sounds like a winner to me. Nice to hear more good Pokemon ReMixes. -
OCR02244 - Sonic the Hedgehog "Clockwork Criminal"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I always hated the original tune to Scrap Brain Zone. You know you have an awesome ReMix when something great can be made from a tune that....well, isn't that great. The SFX were a really good addition to the mix and the the melody fit right in with the original pieces. I'm really impressed and it has a nice groovy sound to it. Nice job! -
OCR01600 - Sonic the Hedgehog 2 "Oil Ocean (WT-40 Mix)"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This is badass. The lyrics are tight and flow smoothly with the music and hell, the chorus fits the level. Really, a rap-rock ReMix doesn't get better than this. But wait, there's more! Throw in a little bit of Egyptian sounding music behind the beats, and it's not only a great song, but a unique one as well. Awesome stuff. The only thing that gets me is every time I listen to this, I keep expecting two lines to come after the "Open the flood gates, get ready for the flow" bit considering the rest of the song had four lines of rhyme. Still, this is pretty interesting. Great stuff. -
OCR01327 - Sonic the Hedgehog 2 "sonik metro"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Oh wow! Now this is excellent work. I really felt it from 0:50 on. That electric guitar, those pianos, the organ, everything just seemed really put together amazingly. I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. Kinda hard not to like this ReMix when it's so catchy. Definitely one of my favorite ReMixes from Hedgehog Heaven. -
OCR00337 - Sonic the Hedgehog 2 "Bluest Sky"
Crulex replied to Saunders's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Soft, heavenly, serene.....yeah, this is such a good treat! I just love how it has the same peaceful style of the original and I could imagine nodding off to sleep with this playing in the background. Also, one of the few ReMixes where I think the shorter length is one of it's strengths. Cool. -
OCR01998 - Sonic the Hedgehog 2 "Atmosphere"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Very clean, easy-going and.....eh, not cute, but close enough to be nice and peaceful. Extremely comfortable and relaxing. Very fitting for the Sky Chase Zone. Another Halc mix that doesn't disappoint. And the mash-up wasn't that bad either. I like the creativeness of these things. -
Macho Man Randy Savage Dies in Car Accident

R.I.P Macho Man. You will be missed, but never be forgotten. Oooooohhh Yeaaahhh! -
So I'm going to be on a gameshow.
Crulex replied to Less Ashamed Of Self's topic in General Discussion
Sounds like an awesome show! Good luck this Sunday! -
OCR01945 - Sonic the Hedgehog 2 "Mystic Chemicals"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Yes, yes, a million times fuck yeah! This is what I'm talking about genre-wise. Classic rock really does it for me, even more than hard rock and electronic. I really wasn't expecting to find a classic rock remix of Sonic while I'm on my Sonic kick, but not only do I find one, it's freaking awesome! The guitars were spot on and damn the drums were nice. I gotta say, that I actually liked the Mystic Cave Zone part slowed down a bit. It brings out that Led Zepplin soul and I really hope we see more of this at some point. -
OCR02064 - Sonic the Hedgehog 2 "Chemixtrixx"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
That's crazy! Very nice. Anyway, this ReMix is so damn good! I can't keep myself from tapping my foot when I listen to this ReMix. Words can't really describe how much this song makes me want to just dance. Really upbeat and full of electrifying energy to keep it going! Woo! -
OCR00459 - Sonic the Hedgehog "Lightning Star"
Crulex replied to Ginnsu's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This was......interesting, so say the least. Not that I didn't like it. The genre switch was actually pretty cool. The production just seemed a bit....meh, but it was still okay with me. About the only thing that turns me off is the dead-stop ending. I can totally dig it. -
OCR02063 - Sonic the Hedgehog "Drowning My Lives Away"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I can't decide which one is better, Ben's or Halc's. But seriously, I really enjoyed how you managed to work in the "Gasping for air" theme into this ReMix. The transition between the two were seemless and fit together like a puzzle piece. The sound effects are used well and your music style shines in this one. Not much else to say other than I love it. -
OCR01416 - Sonic the Hedgehog "Cryptic Marble"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Taking nothing away from DJP and the others who did such amazing ReMixes for Marble Zone, but this is my favorite on the site so far. I absolutely love the 80's/90's theme going on with trance and oriental sounds intertwined into it. It's really one of those songs you can get the feel for while listening to it. The only thing I'm not so fond of is the quick ending. Seems like it could have been spaced out or done better with a fade, but terrific ReMix nonetheless. -
OCR00691 - Sonic the Hedgehog "Love Hurts"
Crulex replied to orkybash's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This is some pretty funky stuff going on! I gotta hand it to you, DJP, you make damn good ReMixes for the site and I think this is one of your best. The organ, the electric piano, the utter funk and bass and overall, it's a good rendition of combined original tune and source tune. The ethnic instrument bit was also funny and unexpected. It works with the genre here for some reason, but I wouldn't have thought so if I didn't hear it here. This ReMix made Marble Zone even more enjoyable to listen to. -
OCR02190 - Sonic the Hedgehog "April Rain"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Mmmm.....nice and upbeat dance. Not too crazy but not overdoing it on the chill side either. Nice and smooth like.....well, April rain. Which is funny enough because I've been getting enough of that in the area right about now. But as much as I've had enough of that rain, I don't think I'll ever want this rain to go away. Great ReMix. -
OCR02222 - Sonic the Hedgehog "Under Construction"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Very peaceful and catchy as hell. This is a real smooth piece that ups the level from perfectly chill into the world of too cool. The lyrics and easygoing smoothness of this just makes me think that this could be the theme of someone whose day is just going so fucking fantastic that words can't express it. Bright and badass. Well done, good sirs. -
OCR02221 - Sonic the Hedgehog "Bubble Junkie"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Let me get this out of the way real quick: I hated Labyrinth Zone. It was the zone that almost always got me way back when. And it was almost as if it was taunting me by playing that great music while killing or drowning me. That aside, this is my personal favorite ReMix off the album. The sound effects were used to perfection and the Daft Punk-ish talkbox lead was utterly sweet. The melody is as cool as I remembered it and the Special Stage theme was tied in pretty well. Enjoyed this one very much.
