OCR02745 - Final Fantasy X "Mountain Prayer"
DominusVita replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Doesn't get more meditative than this. Yes, it's a bit minimalistic, but I'd say it doesn't really need more than what's offered. -
OCR02453 - Final Fantasy "Dance of Descent"
DominusVita replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I'll also agree that the flow of the medley is such that it doesn't instill a halting transition between each song - it's a delightful ditty that I happily give a thumbs up to. Nice work. -
OCR02429 - Sonic the Hedgehog 2 "In the Robot Factory"
DominusVita replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Certainly has a slow-paced industrial sound to it, reminds me quite a bit of the FF6 remix, 'Cid in the factory'. It transitions pretty well between synths, chiptunes, and the harder stuff. I like it. -
OCR02417 - Mega Man 2 "Laser Quick"
DominusVita replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
It's got some serious hard-hitting bass, I'll give you that. A lot of the techno-ey parts tend to get old after a while. The change of pace around 2/3 was an important edition. The remix went pretty well. So don't sweat things too much, TheStringedInstrumentChampion. He's right to an extent, but it's hardly ruining Quick Man or anything. I'd say high 7's, low 8's. -
OCR02414 - Crash Bandicoot "All for Wumpa"
DominusVita replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
It's mysterious & charming, and transitions each section with surprising grace; I'll admit to being a sucker for the piano remixes as a bit of a bias, but this is nonetheless a fantastic piece. -
OCR02408 - Mega Man X "End of the Beginning"
DominusVita replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
When I first downloaded the full album, this song stuck out of all of them; it easily manages in my top 5 songs from the soundtrack. Reminds me a great deal of the original .hack//SIGN music. Stellar vocals accompanied by the perfect complement of bittersweet sonic delights. Feel proud on this one. -
OCR02393 - Quest for Glory "Late Snows of Winter"
DominusVita replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
It's a very mellow, somber acoustic guitar remix. Nice work -
OCR02390 - Final Fantasy VII "Sephiroth's Deliverance"
DominusVita replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I'm a bit iffy on this one for a few reasons. I'm just not sure the synthesizer bits really fit well with the full-on heavy metal direction you were going for. If you're looking for examples of what may work better, Check Artificial Fear(Either YouTube or just Google it) for his ff7 songs. It's a good song, and you don't often get heavy metal medleys that often. It just would've been nice with a little less synth and a few more guitar solos. Pretty nice. -
OCR02387 - Ufouria "Above the Clouds"
DominusVita replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Slow, beautiful, and breezy. It creates the image of looking towards an endless ocean, something out of Chrono Cross or something akin to that. I like it. -
OCR02386 - Final Fantasy VIII "Of Dreams and Time"
DominusVita replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Besides the moment of Synth at 2:47, I think this is a well-made piece. It fits perfectly with the metal genre(which happens to be my favorite). The introduction doesn't feel drawn out, more like it's building tension instead. I've heard a few remixes of 'The Extreme' like All existence denied, but I think I prefer this one. Not as full-on-nuts metal like Heavy Mako, but it's enough to get your head banging while remembering to use all the holy war potions you saved up. To survive this song, you may need them. -
OCR02377 - Secret of Evermore "Somber Memory"
DominusVita replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
It's a rare opportunity that I find an OC Remix song that genuinely pulls on the heart strings; This is absolutely one of them. You've done something really special here, and I hope many share the same feeling as well. It reminds me so much of the Chrono Cross Soundtrack - Gentle acoustic guitar, appropriate low bass, the flute solo, it has a presence that isn't touched enough in my opinion. Kudos to both audio fidelity and Jennifer, fantastic work. -
OCR02335 - Final Fantasy VII "The Planet Is Dead"
DominusVita replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
It's a very different type of metal you usually hear in OCRemixes. It keeps to a very minimalistic production, with some great intro melodies. I think what the song could really have used is some variety in more of the power metal chord sections, where it can get a bit tedious. It's great for what it is, I just think it could use a bit more sonic diversity.
