Hi all,
Long time OCR listener but first time poster. I wanted to let you all know that this competition is what made me finally break down and create an account. I wanted to stop by and let you all know what an awesome job you are all doing! I have listened to previous competitions and albums on here, but this is truly a great collection. I only regret not voting in the earlier rounds.
If I may, I wanted to list some shout outs to tracks I cannot put down, most of these are from Round II, for some reason, its a personal favourite:
The Root of All Things: I love this piece, Rexy, I'm now watching your work because of it, including the WIP versions of this one. Loved the flute (now synth in the newer versions?). Just a good listen.
Far From Home: Where can I find the lyrics to this? Are they buried in this thread somewhere? Either way, very nice piece, from what I can pick out of the lyrics, it seems very interesting! Again, well done!
Shadows of Wily: Just a really fun piece, love how it flows and the use of Shadow Man just tickles my fancy, not enough MM3 related content, but MM3 was my favourite.
Light your Way: Just when I thought Flashman and Wily Castle 2-1 could not be done any more, you brought some freshness to the table. Quiet start with the guitar was a nice touch, but things just pick up at 0:33 and bust loose at 0:41 and it gets me every time. Well Done!
Liquid Metal: Sounds like you folks had fun with this one! Again, where can I find the lyrics? From what I can pick out, sounds pretty funny! Also been a fan of Splash Woman's stage theme since the MM9 album (OCR) came out.
Cold Dreams: Highlighted this one because I just like the pace and how it sounds. Hard to put my finger on what I really like about it, but that doesn't detract from it's overall impressive nature.
I Didn't have time to make this song The Song: Please finish this, please?! I really liked where you were going with this, that and bias towards MM3.
Honourable Mentions:
Wily's Inferno
Attracted to Power
Passing of the Knight
Dayquil, Nyquil
Smooth Operator
Running with Scissors
Solidity
Keep in mind I have no training or experience in music. I dabble in foley and other medium as well as video, etc but I am not very technical in this area so pardon my lack of in-depth critique, I'm simply a fan.
More later!
