OCR03775 - Sonic Mania "Ruby Distortions"
CJthemusicdude replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I really liked the jammin triplet time metal goodness! Bonus points for having an absolutely killer intro! Great remix! -
When I saw this song's runtime, I mentally prepared myself so I could listen to this uninterrupted. This definitely fits the term 'Epic.' From the cinematic choirs, to the powerful piano, to the serene strings, it's all done very well. I never played any of the Dark Souls games so I am going purely based on the music itself, and what I hear is remarkable! This remix overall is very cinematic and packs a HEFTY punch to it. 10/10, would listen to again.

OCR04661 - Menace "Insidious Hazard"
CJthemusicdude replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This is a very intriguing remix, it creates a varied and interesting vibe. I think my favorite aspect of this remix is definitely the percussion/drums. A lot of fun little things happening here and there make this a worthwhile remix to listen to! Excellent job on this. -
OCR04660 - Castlevania II "In My Mother's Name"
CJthemusicdude replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
The beat is ? for sure. I was tapping my foot along the whole time. The vocals were clear and easy to understand which is a huge plus for me when it comes to rap. I liked this arrangement of Bloody Tears, great remix! -
I felt a chill, and not just because it is overcast this morning, this remix definitely fits the vibe of a cold location. The bells sparkle and shimmer in the airspace like snowflakes slowly making their way down to earth. The percussion of this remix is definitely a stand out, super crispy and prominent enough to be impactful. Excellent remix! ? ☃️

OCR03777 - Final Fantasy VII "Pour the Poison Out"
CJthemusicdude replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I am a fan of the Mako Reactor source, and I gotta say I really enjoyed this creative take on the source. I really enjoyed the bass and I REALLY enjoyed the leads and secondary lead instruments. Pretty much everything from 1:00 - 2:00 was music gold! Fantastic remix here! ? -
OCR03778 - Uncharted 4 "Some Distance"
CJthemusicdude replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This was definitely a treat. This remix is definitely a slow burn, starting off very chill and then ramping up slowly with the drums until that big powerful finale and a trail off of a lovely ending. Excellent remix! :) -
OCR03779 - Final Fantasy X-2 & X "So It Goes"
CJthemusicdude replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This remix definitely brings me a feeling of going down some sort of memory lane. I suppose that's fitting because since one of the sources has "memories" in the name. As someone else pointed out, this piano playing is very emotive, which is very useful so that repeated parts don't get stale. This was extremely well done, bravo and kudos! -
OCR03780 - EarthBound "Wishing on a Snowman"
CJthemusicdude replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
That e-piano is a crispy clear as a set of fresh snow. What a lovely remix. Very chill, very cool ☃️. Excellent job on this! -
OCR04654 - Bastion "The World That Was"
CJthemusicdude replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
The percussion in this remix is TOP notch for sure. The production in this felt very musical and purposeful. The sound design in this track is pretty bonkers, and gave the remix a very unique feel. Very chill, very cool. Great job! ? -
OCR04655 - Final Fantasy VIII "Tell Me... Why?"
CJthemusicdude replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
What a lovely soundscape this is! Bright bells, powerful strings, sparkling choir, and moody piano. This was a very good remix, and an excellent rendition of the original song. (And in some cases a big improvement over the original, IMO.). Great job! -
OCR03783 - Final Fantasy X "Fayth in You"
CJthemusicdude replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This was awesome! Very reflective and kind of somber, but also very cool. There is a LOT to enjoy in this remix and the production is CRISPY. Those strings and piano and the synth leads were killin it out there! I got a little bit of a Pink Floyd vibe at parts. Excellent remix! ? -
OCR03784 - Breath of Fire II "Whale of September"
CJthemusicdude replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I really enjoyed the vibe of this. It was well made and was the perfect vibes for me on an early Wednesday morning. I really dug the bass in this, so groovy and funky! The percussion was also very mucn on point, nice and varied and interesting. I don't even know anything about the source, this is just a really cool remix! -
OCR03785 - Castlevania II "The Nature of Evil"
CJthemusicdude replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
The backup vocals that come in around the minute mark sound really great! Echoing what was said in the writeup, the accompaniment was going ham! I enjoyed the lyrics for this. Great job on this! -
OCR03786 - Street Fighter II "Family Man"
CJthemusicdude replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
"Eating burgers while I wrestle bears" is a magnificent lyric. This was a lot of fun and a cool way to work with the iconic street fighter character themes. Great job on this! -
OCR03788 - Secret of Mana "Beyond the Big Infinity"
CJthemusicdude replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This remix definitely encapsulates the feeling of flight well. The reverb of the snares gets sent into the stratosphere in a wonderous drift. The synthwave aesthetic just fits so well with any sort of traveling theme! This remix was rock solid. Excellent job! -
OCR03789 - Quarth "Block Invaders"
CJthemusicdude replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I enjoy those SMW-esque synths coming in around 30 seconds. I may not have ever played of or even heard of Quarth, but this remix somehow has an incredibly nostalgic feeling to it, as if somewhere in the far back, my brain is thinking: "You've totally played Quarth before, you've ALWAYS known about Quarth and here are some chips and musical dip to remind you." This is not some low quality dollar store potato product, this is some high quality chip! Also, that ending was great. ? -
OCR03790 - Mega Man X1 & X3 "Red Shifting Drift"
CJthemusicdude replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This was definitaly an eccentric mix. The blending of multiple styles really made for a unique soundscape. 2:37 gave me punch out vibes, lol. This was very solid, excellent remix! -
OCR03791 - Shadow of the Colossus "For Her Soul"
CJthemusicdude replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This remix didn't have to go as hard as it did, but it did. The epic choir and orchestral instruments really sealed the deal for me, especially starting around the 2:30 - 3:00 mark. The soft interlude with the piano and strings was a welcome change of pace and absolutely lovely. Overall this remix told a grand tale, it wove a tapestry of musical awesomeness that gave a powerful and cinematic performance. Bravo!
