Interview With Hiroki Kikuta - Seiken Densetsu 3
swansdown replied to Meteo Xavier's topic in General Discussion
Ah, so that's why the two games sound different! He had a different goal in mind, different traits to judge his music by. Thank you for translating -- and re-translating! -- this. It can be interesting to see into a creative person's thought process. It was an interesting read. -
OCR03846 - Deus Ex "Holographic Projection"
swansdown replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
More Deus Ex! So much damn energy. Getting Tron and System Shock vibes from this too. Very cool. -
I'm not familiar with the source or the influence, but you don't have to be. This is a very nice, touching piece. I wager quite a lot of thought and work went into this... it feels as though it's trying to tell a story, although I'm not sure of what.

OCR03847 - Final Fantasy VI "Terra: [Magitek Perfect]"
swansdown replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Wow, this is a nice blend! It also reminds me of DaMonz's Star King. The theme starts out feeling like a conventional Terra remix, then picks up at the 0:35 mark. My favourite part is actually that tiny bit from 0:43-0:48 where the melody seems to flip back in the air and does something I hadn't felt before. And great backing percussion when Decisive Battle comes in. I really enjoy it. -
OCR00675 - Final Fantasy II "Town Tribute"
swansdown replied to Ginnsu's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Slowing the melody down really gives off a nice, calming effect. I like the progressions at 0:50 and 1:20. Could have strayed further from the source, but it's a good track in any case. -
DK Island Swing is a classic of his for sure. I thought he was still at Rare, but that's Robin Beanland. Some of his Battletoads work are amazing, especially the lesser known games. Battletoads Arcade: Stage 4 (can feel some DK vibes in there) and Stage 3 Battletoads Gameboy: Stage 2, Stage 4, Stage 7

swansdown replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Very cool. I especially like the layering you've got going. Nice and calming with enough activity to make it exciting. -
album Stroggos Rising - Quake II Tribute Album
swansdown replied to Katajun's topic in General Discussion
Yes! Thank you. It's a great album and the audio replacement pack is a great idea. I'll play this the next time I go through Q2. -
OCR03569 - Brütal Legend "Angelhenge"
swansdown replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
How did I miss this?! This piece takes you on a whole journey. It's got a lot of cool weirdness that's hard to describe. Like a trippy beat mixed with some Old Doctor Who atmospheric soundtracks? *-) Anyways, I'm going to be listening to this one many times, I can tell. Very yes. -

swansdown replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
YES! This is so awesome! Great, great intro. Really sets the atmosphere. -
OCR03500 - Super Mario RPG "The Usurper Queen"
swansdown replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Nice and scary track for a nice and scary lady. o_o' It adds much needed variation that the source doesn't really have, which is appreciated. -

OCR03649 - Secret of Mana "Footsteps to Destiny"
swansdown replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
The violin is major cool in this! And I don't even know what's happening with the flute at 2:10-2:24, but I love it. XD Great arrangement and performance all around. -
OCR03648 - Secret of Mana "Flying Fortress Foray"
swansdown replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Man, what drive! Power metal FTW! I like the change-up around 1:38 and the synth feel at 2:01-2:13. Good mix of metal and slower bits. -
OCR03669 - Final Fantasy VI "Snowy Pines"
swansdown replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
A great take. The soft start stands out, and the harp is wonderful after it comes in. Very strong ending. -
OCR03672 - Delta "Wings of Glass"
swansdown replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I can already tell I'll be listening to this track a lot. No part stands out: they're all great. It's got drive and energy, almost bubbly at times. Would work great as race music. -
