OCR00286 - Final Fantasy VI "The Arab Painting"
Deryck Khusial replied to m68030's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
a moving piece, the dual melodies in this one will be sure to leave you with that secure feeling. i especially like the part ‘round 1:15 when the first dual melody enters. and then when it re-enters after the "strago" theme, i feel a tug at my heart -
OCR00754 - Doom II "Gothic Sandy"
Deryck Khusial replied to orkybash's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
been wondering whether you'd ever come across a tune from the dude that could be considered straightforward catchy? well look no further. the forceful, driving beat in this is too good for words. the more "serious sequel" mix, Bloody Bath, is equally good -
OCR00732 - River City Ransom "River City Rammstein"
Deryck Khusial replied to m68030's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
this was neat. more -
OCR00538 - Lemmings (DOS) "Lounge Lemmings"
Deryck Khusial replied to orkybash's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
there’re some instances when the lead in a song lags and it’s whorrible (i.e., Ian Van Dahl - Secret Love), and there’re some instances when you can Tell it was done intentionally and the result is good. this is very good. fits the mellow lounge sound perfectly -
OCR00473 - Kirby's Dream Land "Bubbly Cloud Cafe"
Deryck Khusial replied to Ginnsu's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
kawaii ^_^o cute ain't enough to describe this. what a sickeningly happy tune (in the best possible way). makes me wanna kill something -
OCR00443 - Rygar "On Rhodopa Mountain"
Deryck Khusial replied to Ginnsu's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
very scenic; i'm scaling the mountain. the way the drums are placed emotivates the feeling, and the bagpipe lead blends in well. the abrupt ending's comical, but with a hint of irony, almost as if implying a person falling to their doom after they’ve reached the peak -
OCR00354 - Final Fantasy IV "Surface of the Moon"
Deryck Khusial replied to Saunders's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
i usually find FF tunes boring and avoid 'em. this one's just spacey atmosphere so the same should apply, right? not quite. there's a li'l bit around 1:25 that makes me feel all good inside. the Whole piece also has an element of suspense which works to its advantage -
OCR00275 - Chrono Trigger "Island of Zeal"
Deryck Khusial replied to m68030's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
who's one of the best composers on OC? [maze]dude, please make some mixes like your original works. Goodbye at the Airport is one stunning piano track. mixes like Bamboo Moon, Willow Weaver, Electric Fantasy 2, and Ghost Circus would be great as well anyway this is probably my favorite version of this "zeal" theme. no one can mess with these choir synths. great mellow groove -
OCR00766 - Earthworm Jim 2 "Wormaphobic Disorder"
Deryck Khusial replied to orkybash's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
i played earthworm jim on my friend's sega before and i liked how the levels were mostly underground and caves. with that said, the lead melody in this is cool. it's got an endless quality that makes me feels like i'm exploring in the darkness. the choir synth at the end adds to the dark feel as well -
OCR00594 - Donkey Kong Country 2 "Mechanical Swamp"
Deryck Khusial replied to orkybash's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
this is in the same vein as bramblesinthebreeze which is one of the many reasons why i like. this time, protricity adds to the ambient groove by harmonizing synths and guitar. the effect is sex to the ears -
OCR00569 - Mega Man X "Brainsick Metal"
Deryck Khusial replied to orkybash's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
the intro alone Makes this song. parts around 0:25, 0:35 sound so fucking climactic. don't even doubt the rest of the mix; this shit is hardcore -
OCR00529 - Astyanax "Danger in Remlia"
Deryck Khusial replied to orkybash's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
from the very first note, you're treated to some bouncy beats. lots of standout parts, including the fun breakbeat sections and my favorite, the bass solo with accompanying ambience around 2:45. yowza! -
OCR00397 - Mega Man 3 "Get Down"
Deryck Khusial replied to Saunders's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
we love our bass, eh. it practically sugarcoats this entire mix. then again, it's the very reason why i like this one. love the bass solo around 2:20 -
OCR00420 - Metal Gear "First Impressions"
Deryck Khusial replied to Ginnsu's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
i can see why dan arranged this to accommodate a battle atmosphere. and the arrangement itself is great, no doubt about it. the trouble's really the sound quality. if this was re-mastered, i know it’d be a hit. as it is right now, the exceptionally catchy lead melody’s the only source of appeal -
OCR00464 - Mega Man 3 "Blue Lightning"
Deryck Khusial replied to Ginnsu's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
this is Dream Dance at its finest. been listening to this before i go to sleep for several months now. awesome bass drops and synth. deep, rich sound. wouldn’t change a thing -
OCR00094 - Tetris (GB) "CheDDer"
Deryck Khusial replied to m68030's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
CheDDer proved his rhythm skillz, but this was a li'l disappointing. while his first mix was creative, this is straightforward techno. regardless it's great stuff. digging the subtle lead melody and overall movement. sw33t midbreak -
OCR00093 - Wizards & Warriors "CheDDer"
Deryck Khusial replied to Joe Redifer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
excellent job, CheDDer Nardz. this has the whole early 90s oldschool dance feel (Technotronic, Culture Beat, etc). starts off almost industrial-like, the lead melody enters (and man, the string-y/triple layer to it is g00d). then an awesome handclap solo steals the attention; very befitting of the genre -
OCR00573 - Super Metroid "Mega Dance Mix 2002"
Deryck Khusial replied to orkybash's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
from the mellow intro to the energetic midsection (lovin' the song more after the 2:08 mark), and a pulsating beat to top things off, this is a highly addictive tune. check it -
OCR00360 - Donkey Kong Country 2 "Ghost of St. Helens"
Deryck Khusial replied to Saunders's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
this mix greatly outdoes the original. it starts off battle-like much in the same manner before facing the boss, a pleasant drum'n'bass loop enters, and then my two favorite parts: at 1:26 the transition's especially sweet since it clues you in on what's coming. then at 1:50.. BAM! euphoric bliss -
OCR00105 - Lemmings (DOS) "DABOMB"
Deryck Khusial replied to Jivemaster's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
what's great about this is the way the lead melody sounds both depressing and happy at the same time. truly is a song you can empathize with/would Want to empathize with. git -
OCR00391 - Secret of Mana "Ice Crystal Fields Forever"
Deryck Khusial replied to Saunders's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
patience, my friend. you’re gonna need it while listening to this. that said, this must be my favorite mix by Zeratul. it’s ironic since i find true ambient/minimalist music such as this boring. and yet, it resonates within me to the core. the steady buildup on the lead seals the deal for me -
OCR00430 - Rygar "Caverns of Sagila"
Deryck Khusial replied to Ginnsu's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
max it up for the intro (that BASS -- funk-ay), but the rest is already loud..what the hell, i'm young, my ears can take it. Amazing stuff from praslowicz. rock on -
OCR00302 - Ultraman 2 "vs. Brazil"
Deryck Khusial replied to m68030's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
trippiness. tell your friends you got high offa mutagene's ultraman mix. it's defining songs like these that make OCR worth the visit ^^
