OCR00224 - Super Mario RPG "Mushroom Way Madness"
Crulex replied to m68030's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Okay, I can definantly hear where the "midi-ish" stuff DJP was talking about is, but I have straight MIDI's on my MP3. I can handle it as long as the tune is nice, and this is. Iight-hearted and has a great beat. Can't say it's the greatest mix on OCR (by far), but it's alright with me. -
OCR01642 - Super Mario RPG "Leafcutter"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
DnB, breakbeats and more rolled around SMRPG? Love it. This first half is so calming and it seems like I always forget about the upbeat half until it hits me in the face. As upbeat as the second half is, it sounds more epic-like than frantic, which is a nice change of pace. It rocks the box for sure. Recommended by moi. -
You and me both. One of these days I'll learn and make a good one. Sigma Fortress 3 is probably the only MMX tune I haven't heard mixed, so here's hoping someone nails it.

OCR01799 - Super Mario RPG "Flubber Mountain"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This is almost too catchy. Good lord, I can shut my eyes and imagine zany little flubbers bouncing around to this tune. Crazy, wacky and overall an extremely enjoyable mix. Mazedude delivers as always. -
OCR00188 - Super Mario RPG "Bukki's Tango"
Crulex replied to m68030's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Ah, a waltz leading into a techno drum set. Not bad. I'm not a fan of slow tango music, so I wasn't sure about this when I clicked on it, but I'm glad I did. Smooth and relaxing. Great for a mix from an overlooked game and soundtrack. -
OCR00493 - Super Mario Bros. "The Italian Plumber"
Crulex replied to Ginnsu's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Hell yeah. Mario's got an offer ya can't refuse. Don't talk back or brudda Luigi's gonna have someone whacked. Kinda nice to hear a slower tempo with a song that is usually so hyper. Nice. -
OCR01942 - Super Mario Bros. "Bros with Dix"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I couldn't stop listening to this for a week after it came out. The title alone makes it download worthy, but then to listen to that big band swinging with jazzeyness all around makes it a classic dixieland mix for me. Long live the dix. -
OCR00434 - Street Fighter II "Spicy Curry"
Crulex replied to Ginnsu's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I just love the sitar work in this one. I never thought of an electronic mix with Easteren flavor, but now that I've heard this, I think you've cooked up a masterpiece. This truly is a recipe for good times (and bad puns.) -
OCR01981 - Marvel vs. Capcom "Chun-Li (Nemesis Mix)"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I always loved this theme. This a great mix I can move and groove to. Keep 'em coming Eric! -
Random Hero, this mix right here is one of the reasons why I enjoy this site! I can't get enough dark, evil organ work from this! The beginning sounds like a score of impending doom and I can imagine a great confrontation/ taunting from Bowser in the middle. Love the slow down right at the end, it sounds like the sound of Bowser finally beating Mario. I've heard part 2 on VGmix as well. That was equally impressive and I hope you manage to get it on OCR too. Edit: Oops, didn't realize I reviewed this already. My bad. This review's better anyway.

OCR00931 - Mega Man X "The Zero Sacrifice"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Okay, I agree the drums a midi-ish...or however you say it, but I really enjoyed this one. The electric guitar and opening was without a doubt the best part of this mix. I never noticed the slight Megaman tunes, but then again I've only played the X series. Good enough for me. -
OCR01149 - Mega Man X "Dreams Come True"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I love the lyrics! "Remember it's not the end of the world when you lose all your continues, you can start all over again." ......or you can save the passwords so you DON'T spend an hour starting over agin. Anyone else find it odd that one of the lyrics is about being player 2 and this isn't a two-player game? Just too funny. Unlike a lot of vocal covers, this one finally seems to have one with someone with a decent voice. Great job on this one. -
This should be made completely just for the lyrics alone. Vocals seemed a little warped though.

OCR00569 - Mega Man X "Brainsick Metal"
Crulex replied to orkybash's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Simply the best MMX remix I've heard so far. Making short work of not one, but three X themes and doing justice to them, I gotta hand it to Prot, he's gold at these mixes. The Spark Mandrill part is the one I think was done the best, to be honest. -
OCR01307 - Donkey Kong Country "Chekan Winter"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Good ol' Trance/electronica mixed with DK. I really enjoy the heavy gongs at the beginning of the track and the bells that break out later on. Fun thing to try: Try playing this while walking in a snowstorm. It's awesome. -
OCR01282 - Killer Instinct "The Wolf of the Opera"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Loving it. The piano only sounding verison of this theme is really good and simple. Don't really get why everyone is knocking it, as it has a beautiful melody and doesn't seem to trip over notes. Granted, I will note the almost robotic sound at times, but I like it. Nice! -
OCR00547 - Killer Instinct "Killer Instincts Enhanced"
Crulex replied to orkybash's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This site really needs a lot more KI love. The series was just so underrated and the music is so much better than a lot of other games. This is a good take on the opening track and I absolutely love the thunder SFX at the beginning and end of the mix. Good work! -
OCR00823 - Donkey Kong Country 3 (SNES) "My Red Hot Pursuit"
Crulex replied to Saunders's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
It's an interesting mix, and definantly not the worse thing to come out on the site. I don't really mind the vocals, but at some parts they just don't seem to work out like they intended to. I like the mix, just saying it's not a head turner. Then again, maybe it's just cause DKC(2,3) soundtracks are my fav. that I cut this a bit of slack. -
OCR00999 - Donkey Kong Country 2 "Savage Seduction"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Oh yeah, this is a good one to groove to. Just feel that beat and move yo' feet! The only thing that would make this remix of the Lost World Jungle....is.....(gotta say it).....more cowbell! I really like from 4:19 to 4:50. Good mix of that particular chorus. -
OCR00980 - Donkey Kong Country 2 "Assembly Line Apparitions"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
So dark and machine-like, I love it! The guitar solo just sends this over the edge of pretty awesome to unbelievable! It still keeps the haunting feeling of the original and drives it into a wild spinning combo of haunted house, factory, and James Bond chase scene images. Whoo, thumbs up! Hands down, one of my top 3 Prot. mixes. -
OCR01138 - Donkey Kong Country 2 "Forest Birdcussion"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Carpenter-looking dude who died for people's sins (supposedly). Anywho, I love this mix for it's simpleness and the main event, Birdcussion! This was the first mix I added when I got here and it's so peaceful and relaxing. Good switch of gears, Prot! -
OCR01183 - Donkey Kong Country 2 "KRool Intentions"
Crulex replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Oh, sweet jesus. This is........whoa.....man. I couldn't even think of a good review to give when I heard this. It was just too much greatness at one time. So much good stuff in one six and a half minute song and it blew me away! I didn't even realize "Run, Rambi, Run" was used for a long time after I heard it until someone mentioned it. And the name is just as cool. -
OCR00687 - Donkey Kong Country 2 "Simian Symphony: Part 1"
Crulex replied to Saunders's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Sweet! I'm loving how this goes into three parts. It's almost like three Remixes in one! I can kinda hear the POTC stuff everyone else is talking about in my favorite part, the Boss Bossanova mix. From 4:14 to the end is just simply epic. It gave me chills. My only complaint is the echoing chime-like guitars in the Ice part of the mix. Not too keen on them. But then again, the positives completely outweigh my one small gripe. Right on, Prot! (I'm not even gonna bother asking about Pt. 2. If he does it, he does it.) -
OCR00594 - Donkey Kong Country 2 "Mechanical Swamp"
Crulex replied to orkybash's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Protricity has always been one of my favorite remixers since I've been coming to the site, and remixes like this one is why. I'll agree with some others by saying that this is probably his best mix. Starting out so smoothly with the SFX of crickets and bayou life to great piano/guitar sections. A very well done piece by Prot.
