OCR03630 - Heretic "Embrace the Darkness"
swansdown replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Nice build-up and outro. Great album. Malevolent! -
OCR00739 - Super Mario Bros. "Aquatic Interlude"
swansdown replied to Ginnsu's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Would be perfect for the ending cutscene of a water stage, with Mario floating on his back. -
Parts in games so difficult they made you stop playing
swansdown replied to WillRock's topic in General Discussion
The Robot Factory in TimeSplitters 2. I remember trying for days to unlock something by beating the level on normal or hard. That level's just an endurance trial. :/ -
OCR03642 - Donkey Kong Country 2 "Forest Blast"
swansdown replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Right on. I've most definitely become a fan of RebeccaETripp. High quality stuff. Normally I separate everything by game... but I'm going to have to dedicate a folder to Rebecca now. XD This is such a pleasant listen. It's mellow and wondrous. It's got layers and lift. Gentle. -
OCR03640 - Ecco: Tides of Time (GEN) "Geofractura"
swansdown replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Wait... there's an entire Ecco remix album? Check it out already, Ecco fans! It's amazing! Man, this is great. Fault Zone has a strong enough intro as it is: the remix pumps that up and stays strong throughout. Kicking bottom. The animal noises also reminds me of the Sega CD version. -
OCR03644 - Undertale "Chaos, Cookies, and Cider"
swansdown replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Nice! Wasn't expecting spider dance to be remixed, but THIS. IS. AWESOME! ^___^ -
OCR03560 - Tales of Phantasia "Magical Forest Medley"
swansdown replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Beautiful! The entire beautiful suite is made up of artful touches, like the shaking at 0:47, which leads into a peaceful stretch. I'm also trying to notice transitions between the sources, and it's difficult. The transitions are fantastic. The woodwinds are well done alongside the chirping. The piece is impressive work. -
OCR00608 - Super Thunder Blade "Overdrive"
swansdown replied to orkybash's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Nice beats! My favourite is the build-up in the first minute, especially at 0:37-0:50. The loopy melody at 1:37-1:57 is also pretty cool. Some of the background beats do feel a bit muddy, but that could just be the distortion style. -
OCR01106 - Darius "Silver Hawk Legacy"
swansdown replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This fits the game perfectly. Getting an early Ys feel mixed with Ninja Gaiden. Really enjoy this piece. -
OCR03336 - Wild Guns "Amputate Your Metal"
swansdown replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Solid, ass-kicking track. Great end from 3:10. -
OCR01454 - Baldur's Gate "Child of the Murder God"
swansdown replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Wow! This is how I imagine the BG dream sequences would sound like if they were done with piano. Nice derivations from the source and great build-up to the main melodies. There's a lot of finer qualities in this mix than I expected from such a straightforward source. -
OCR03557 - Paladin's Quest "Sleep, Beloved Child"
swansdown replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
The woodwind at 1:25 is a nice touch and the choir is great in the last minute. The remix also gives the theme a Secret of Mana vibe. -
OCR03567 - Lufia II "Sapphire Oceans"
swansdown replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
One of the best sailing tracks I've heard. Love the build-up to 1:15. And at 2:15 the adventure really starts. I could definitely see this as telling a story. -

swansdown replied to WillRock's topic in General Discussion
Huh. I can't quite remember the battle any more, but knowing that probably helps. I think it was a battle early in the game when you don't have many energy tanks. Can't afford getting hit that much, so average players have a hard time. Ninja Gaiden? AGH! XD The music is great, but I barely got anywhere in that series. Never knew anyone who passed even one game. -
OCR03544 - Final Fantasy IX "The Throes of Death(guise)"
swansdown replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Man, this doesn't let up! It's gotta be one of my favourite FF IX battle remixes, if not my favourite. -
OCR03543 - Kirby Super Star "Fluffball Rampage"
swansdown replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Damn smooth! ^__^ I was worried it'd be like a credits scroll, with so many tracks, but it avoids that feeling. -
OCR03507 - Duke Nukem 3D "Nostalgic Dump"
swansdown replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Odd track, but pretty damn cool. Like it starts out as something I'd expect from Shadow Warrior, then moves into a cross between Duke Nukem and DK: Aquatic Ambience. -
OCR01646 - Doom II "No Man Is an Island"
swansdown replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Damn creepy, and one of my favourites on the album. -
OCR03514 - Command & Conquer (PS1) "Re-act"
swansdown replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Man, that beat from 0:55-1:13. Nice and menacing, eh. Captures the gritty feel of the game. The sirens help of course, but the song is pure hardcore. -
OCR03536 - Wolfenstein 3D & Spear of Destiny "Get Psyched"
swansdown replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Need more Wolf 3D! I could totally see this in a remake. It's awesome. A nice, steady burn throughout. I like the pause at 1:44 and its progression into 2:44. Great transitions. -

I stopped for weeks after trying to beat the boost guardian in Metroid Prime 2. I must've tried for a few days straight. When I finally returned and beat it (after several more times), I stopped playing the game soon after. Damn purple world. >< I've almost beat the first Battletoads for Gameboy, which is probably the easiest Battletoads game. Its speed barrier stage (rat rocket) is much easier than the NES hoverbike stage. I just can't pass the last level before the time limit runs out. -
OCR00407 - Jurassic Park (GEN) "Raptor Waltz"
swansdown replied to Ginnsu's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I keep coming back to this one. It's just so odd. Very cool. I'm not familiar with the source, but the creepy tension is definitely there. Great use of sound effects. -
OCR01771 - Super Hang-On "Burn, Baby, Burn!"
swansdown replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Great guitar! Great drive! And nicely varied and upbeat throughout.
