OCR01813 - Tales of Symphonia "Strike of the Devil's Axes"
swansdown replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Great rendition of Fatalize. Always on my list if I'm listening to ToS. -
But-but-but sequence is important!

OCR01874 - Live A Live "Giant Robot Bonanza"
swansdown replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Niiice! I wish it were longer, but it would make a great chase stage as is. -
OCR01063 - Super Mario Bros. 3 "Lose-Your-Way Maze"
swansdown replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Noo, it ends just when it was getting good. :c Jazzy good, even! Maybe adding another source would have helped DJ Orange extend the length. -
For a repetative mix, it's pretty cool and has a nice edge to it. I still have it in my playlist... And it's much better than the source!

Beautifully peaceful mix. Listen to this when you need time to relax. -
Current OCR Projects Situation: Analysis and Solutions
swansdown replied to Chernabogue's topic in General Discussion
I agree with Brandon about setting sights on shorter albums, like the World Cup and Eevee EPs. I was also thinking that maybe after 6-8 months on a deadline everyone with a substantial WIP or finished track could vote if they want to wait for any artists who only have claims or rough WIPs. If they vote not to wait, the album is released after all substantial WIPs are finished. It wouldn't work for massive projects like FF6, but it could for smaller albums that don't need all tracks covered and if the project founder is alright with the idea. -
OCR01093 - Breath of Fire "His First Good Deed"
swansdown replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Definitely a story song. Really takes me back. Each stage of the song has something neat in the melody, from the start with travelling clopping drums to, well, SADNESS ... then to the nice strings(?) at 1:45, then the fight drums leading to a quiet victory. -
OCR00667 - Seiken Densetsu 3 "Hostile but Cuddly"
swansdown replied to orkybash's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Yeah! Fun and tough. It does go out a bit quiet at mid-way when I'm wanting more aggression. XD And I wish it were longer. -
Really liked the quiet intro. The electric guitar that came in and changed the tone initially surprised me, but I enjoyed it right after that. It was almost too short! The instruments feel like they'd be right be in a remake of MM3. Project X's Mega Man 2 album is pretty cool. My favourites are their takes on Flash Man and Wood Man.

OCRA-0045 - Sonic CD: Temporal Duality
swansdown replied to SuperiorX's topic in Album Reviews & Comments
I have got to listen to this album again. What beats. This Is Madness! <3 The vocals, beats, speed... fantastic! -
OCR02720 - Final Fantasy VI "Fiddlesticks Rag"
swansdown replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Ah, it's so smiley fun. The violin and piano blend so well together. -
OCR03192 - Final Fantasy VI "Gestahlian Sonata"
swansdown replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Just beautiful. It sounds like Rexy enjoyed playing it, too. The piece is all so fluid. The switches, yes, and also the frequent deviations from the source melody. It's rare to hear a ReMix that deviates just enough yet not too much. Perfect. -
OCR03022 - Final Fantasy VI 'The Nightmare Oath'
swansdown replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Lately I can't stop listening to this mix. It's so awesome!! -
It feels chill with some intensity. Altogether, I'm surprised at how pleasant he made this piece given how urgent the original is. It's a good treatment of the original, and even though the samples are simple, the melody is done really well. The instruments occasionally remind me of Phendrana Drifts in Metroid Prime.

OCR00867 - Ninja Gaiden "Death of a Legend"
swansdown replied to DarkCecil13's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Ahh, it makes me cry. ;-; -
OCR02480 - Castlevania "Of Whips and Strings"
swansdown replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Nice and relaxing. Great take on the source. -
OCR00226 - Seiken Densetsu 3 "Electric Fields"
swansdown replied to m68030's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
What? Why isn't this in my playlist? It's a great tribute to SD2-3, where the first half is quieter and the second half increases the intensity. Into the Thick of It is treated well and it segues into Electric Talk nicely! They meld great together. The real excitement comes at 2:30, while 3:40 is also gets pretty cool. -
OCR01312 - Stormlord "Seneca's Marble Pack Edit"
swansdown replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Just really cool. Vocals unexpected but welcome. c: -
OCR00363 - Ninja Gaiden II "Sprinting Riffs"
swansdown replied to Saunders's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Great reimagining of the track with live instruments.
