OCR02028 - Super Street Fighter IV "Time to Oil Up"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Psytranced-charged electronica? You have my attention. The beginning is easily the best part. Jill's vocals REALLY sets this up nicely. Then the music just sounds so amazing! I can actually relax to this even though it's upbeat for 99% of the track. The voice clip was a nice touch, especially since you didn't over do it with Hakan sounds all over the mix. Outro was very nice and settled out well. Very cool. It's almost criminal on how long it took me to review this, but Zircon, Jill, A + for you! -
OCR00581 - Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike "Jungle Jazz"
Crulex replied to orkybash's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Always, always, always loved McVaffe's stuff. This ReMix is no exception. The soothing piano for the first minute is really good, and then it picks up with junglish jazz indeed. I gotta say, I was never big on jazz, but drum-driven jungle type jazz, I can get into. Great ReMix. -
OCR01879 - Final Fantasy IV "In the Land of Dwarves"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Thunder storm sounding beginning? Ace in my book. I'm going to be honest, not fond of the opening after that, but it picks up REAL quickly with that funky jazzish section followed by rock followed by....well, everything else you can mash into a ReMix to make it sound awesome! Yes, this is one of those "goofy" ReMixes that you have to listen to a couple of times to get, but I finally got it and I love it. ilp0 did fantastic with this. Oh, thunder outro! Score! -
OCR01876 - Final Fantasy IV "Golbez'n Goblins"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Hmmm.....I could have sworn I reviewed this already, Oh well. The beginning sets up those good ol' spooky organs right before the next minute and a half shows just how good this guy is! Nice head nodding tune. Then it changes to the section with the voices clips and for some reason I was reminded of 2 Unlimited. Love the voice clips! And then to go back to the head nodding beat again finishes up the track nicely. Damn good ReMix, here. Oh, yeah, I could hear the Deadmau5 style in some parts, but that's a great thing. -
OCR02095 - Donkey Kong Country 2 "Tetanus"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Very cool, driven track. The synths were something I didn't expect, but I enjoyed it throughly. The intro built the track up very nicely and I'm glad we finally have an awesome and memorable remix of LJ's Saga. Well done on this one. -

OCR02081 - Super Mario World "Super Mario Western Show"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Yes! I agree completely! I've had this song (and plenty of Hyadain's stuff) on my MP3 for a long time, and I never thought it would end up on OCR. Overall, it's a good, fun, slightly crazy song that doesn't fail to put a smile on my face. And the fact that he made that Peach voice is impressive enough for me. -
Happy Birthday, José the Bronx Rican!

OCR02078 - Donkey Kong Country 2 "Us Monkeys Together"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Very cool. I love when someone tries to add lyrics to these songs because they're like blank slates that you can add to. Being able to do a vocal track and pulling it off is great. Pulling it off, in another language than English much less, is extremely impressive. These ReMixers definitely pulled this track off amazingly. The music has a great pop beat and the singing was beautiful. One of the highlights of the DKC 2 album for sure. -
OCR01994 - Final Fantasy IV "Lacrima"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
The cool thing about this ReMix is if you just listen to it and try not to think about it, it seems like it's over just when it's starting, which is funny to me considering it's about five minutes long. I could chill out to this for a long time. I love pieces like this, and repeat listens are recommended. -
OCR01968 - Final Fantasy IV "The Skies Hold No Angels for Us"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This is simply amazing! The echoing children was a very cool touch that I imagine several people may have found slightly haunting. The guitars were so full of win in this ReMix. Easy example of the mix surpassing the original, in my opinion. -
OCR01930 - Final Fantasy IV "The Still Land"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I truly enjoy the atmospheric sound of this song. Really, it's one of those peaceful songs that I can use to lay back and relax with. A very satisfying take on this tune. -
OCR02060 - Mighty Morphin Power Rangers "It's Morphin Time!"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Actually, it's the Area 2 theme. This ReMix shows some great guitar work. I remember hearing the WIP and loving it. I kinda hope the other Area themes get some ReMixes as well. This was one of those games where the music shined. -
Man, you just beat organs when they're done right and thrown into a funky little ReMix like this one. It's just one of those songs that brings a smile to my face.

I started with Super Mario World and a bunch of Atari's. I think Pitfall was the first Atari I played, but damn, that was a long time ago....

OCR01875 - Final Fantasy IV "Fighting for Tomorrow"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Checklist for epic fighting theme: Latin Men's Choir, check. Grand opening, check. Amazing speed up that leads to driving rock sounds mixed with natural sounding asian instruments, check. Cool middle break, check. Strong finish, check. I think you got it all, guys! Damn near perfect ReMix to me! -
OCR01880 - Final Fantasy IV "Somewhere to Hide"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Whoa! Loka's vocals were spectacular in this mix! The atmosphere was set up real well with the beats and I enjoyed that really metallic sounding "somewhere" at 1:47. Good energy song from a sweet album. -
OCR01882 - Final Fantasy IV "Theme of Love for Guitar Duet"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Absolutely gorgeous. Soft, slightly touching and played to the fullest it could be. A marvelous ReMix on this theme.
