Catching up on some missed remixes and noticed this one didn't get a lot of commentary. A shame if this one flies under the radar - there's a lot of thought and beauty condensed into 3 minutes. It's the kind of song that take multiple listens before you can even start to unpack and process it.

OCR02694 - Final Fantasy VI 'Tastes Like Victory'
fester replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Comments/Reviews
Might need to dig out the old Joy Division records from storage for classic examples of pop melody + deep vocals. Ian Curtis had that nailed to a perfection, and this song reminds me a lot of those days.- 13 replies

OCR02074 - Final Fantasy Adventure "Chivalry Begins"
fester replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Comments/Reviews
I almost gave up on this song too early. It started very weak, in my opinion, but once the chorus came, I was hooked. There's a certain Duncan Sheik vibe going on with with this remix, especially in the vocals, which I like.- 32 replies

I'll take you up on that. There have been some amazing remixes done over the years and I feel bad for not giving them the praise they deserve.- 138 replies

OCR02071 - Final Fantasy IV "Everclear Hangover IV"
fester replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Comments/Reviews
I've been visiting OCR for nearly a decade and never felt the need to register and post until now. I'm pretty open-minded when it comes to musical styles, and I like quite a bit of rap, but this mix was simply terrible. I was cringing the entire time while listening to the lyrics, not because I'm offended by some "fucks" and a "dick", but because the lyrics were delivered in such a pedestrian manner. The "embarrassed for the other person" feeling I was left with was reminiscent of the feeling I got when "rapping" commercials were popular in the 80s and 90s.- 138 replies
