OCR01172 - Secret of Mana "Return to Elysian Lands"
Necrox replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Great use of dynamics/volume and the varied instrumentation of an orchestra. I think the quieter tone works well for this mix, especially with the title. The ending feels off; it feels more like a transition to another scene/song in a film (like a door opening to somewhere important). Good orchestral mix. -
OCR01302 - Bionic Commando (NES) "Advance with Caution"
Necrox replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Love the intense percussion. Fun orchestral mix with a good atmosphere. -
OCR00072 - Chrono Trigger "Belthasar"
Necrox replied to Joe Redifer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Such a relentless beat for such a downbeat source. I like the breakage, but it's too dominant; there's not much else there to hold interest. I like the soundscape; however, it is underdeveloped. -
OCR02174 - Goonies II "I'm Taking It All Back"
Necrox replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Awesome intro and follow-up. Very upbeat stuff. The held notes are great effects IMO but I can see how some would find them muddy. Interesting and fun mix. -
OCR03247 - Super Castlevania IV "Heart of Limestone"
Necrox replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Interesting atmosphere in this arrangement; it feels otherworldly somehow, like I'm witnessing the decyaing life of some cave monster. That's just one take on it though. I really like the overtone of darkness, even in the lighter moments. Writing aside, great performance. -
OCR03248 - Super Castlevania IV "Whipped into Shape"
Necrox replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I'm not familar with the source, but dang does that lead guitar fit. That solo is just menacing; great choice following it with the piano. The string section is another good arrangement choice. Very good metal mix. -
Spirited Away ('interest raises')? Sure enough; this mix feels very playful and surreal in a way reminiscent of Joe Hisashi. TLDR: downloaded Great writing and performing; I can already tell it's a great track for ideas and daydreaming. Awesome mix.

OCR03249 - Super Castlevania IV "The Harbinger of Death"
Necrox replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Great sound synthesis here, as expected. That intro is sick. Aside from the electronics, great job blending orchestral instruments in. The drop section is some seriously creative writing. The beat-focused section felt like an odd way to climax things, but great mix anyways. -
OCR03252 - Final Fantasy VII "How Many Heavens Are There?"
Necrox replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I agree with Timaeus on it sounding like a prom song. Strong arrangement here; things build slowly while keeping interest. Good take on the source. -
OCR03266 - Super Mario World "It's-a-Me"
Necrox replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Haha, the ungh SFX. Aside from that, I like how the reverb all fades out to a space behind the main mix. Depending on how you listen, the mix can sound tighter or more open. Later on, the reverb prevails. Fun stuff, dreamy for an EDM mix (which is bonus points IMO). -
OCR03264 - Super Mario 3D Land "2D Beat"
Necrox replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Such a pleasant intro. And then a Dirty drop (is that Knife Party bass I hear?). And then somehow fairyland again. The breakdown is pretty cool too; I'm not feeling the drum outro though. Still a good mix. -
OCR03263 - Super Mario 3D World "Caravan Bowser"
Necrox replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I would love to play this in a club just to see the reactions. Excellent job fitting sax into a dance mix so prominently. I love whatever happened at 1:18. Great clarinet work with the title theme, don't even need to look at the remixer roster to know who it is. Stellar mix, colorful as hell. -
Great intro, especially in the "flute" (?). The vocals were very nice; they work alongside the percussion really well to give a nice base for the lead and harmonies. What's up with the 3:28 snare? It sounds strangely industrial compared to everything else. Very good mix overall.

OCR03280 - Guild Wars 2 "One Wintersday Night"
Necrox replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Ah, the solemn intro is just right for the season. Pretty straightforward metal mix executed pretty solidly with some nice orchestral elements for contrast. i especially like the 2:25 buildup; strong genre-blending there. -
After reading the write-up, the images I got from the intro made me smile. And then when the main melody comes in, the wrestling entrance suddenly becomes a concert (somehow). ANYways, good rock mix; I like the thick guitar tone.

OCR03030 - Metroid Prime 3 'Entropic Dream'
Necrox replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Great intro; very dreamy 'scapes there. Actually, no. The whole mix is dreamy and gorgeous. This is a great ambient mix, the type that brings otherworldly images to mind. The nuances and the piano are both great in their own right, but sound awesome together. great work. -
OCR03107 - Metroid Prime & Super Metroid 'Sub-Zero'
Necrox replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Nice SFX; good ambient stuff. Groovy beat too. The Brinstar theme is incorporated well; the bass also sounds great. The solo is an interesting and good way to end it. Good genre-blending mix. -
OCR03128 - Monarch 'Gentle Oblivion'
Necrox replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Wow, the sax gave me chills upon entering. Incredible performances, great use of notes. Not much to say, awesome work. One take... -
Definitely sounds like NieR. I haven't heard many Vocoloid pieces, but the tone in this one seems better, more articulate. I agree on the backing being strong; it certainly helps when I don't comprehend the lyrics. Also found this fun to improv snare solos over for some reason.

OCR03183 - Super Mario 64 "Dire on the Rocks"
Necrox replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
All of the performances sound great. As Vaizar said, very peaceful. The percussive tones are pretty cool and the subtle electronic work is a very nice touch. -
OCR03003 - Mirror's Edge 'Clear Reflections'
Necrox replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Agh, more reverb on the piano intro please. Definitely stiff. However, the rest sounds spot-on. I like the acid-like bass, some nice texture there. The whistle synth also sounds great. The energetic sound really fits the source even though it's more of a ballad; good work there. Very good EDM mix overall.
