OCR00856 - Legend of Zelda "Gold Cartridge"
swansdown replied to Ginnsu's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
A classic remix. It has a unique sound to it that I haven't heard in the many many other overworld pieces that are out there now. Does feel a bit too much like a cover at the start before spreading out mid-way. Love the extended synth (pulls? reverb?) such as at 1:44. -
I think I reached 25. Pretty good for 2-3 days. I'll definitely return to post more in January. It's good to be back.

OCR01860 - Little Nemo "Sunshine Through My Window"
swansdown replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Aside from being fun and upbeat, the sounds are clear like touching glass or skipping on water. Very peaceful, especially after mid-way. -
OCR01437 - Guardian Legend "Ace of Space"
swansdown replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Yeah, old school feel. This one always has me grinning. It's such a cool piece. ^__^ Inspiring. -
OCR01885 - Final Fantasy IV "Kind of Green"
swansdown replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Ha, it _does_ have an Animal Crossing vibe. XD Lovely listen. -
OCR00654 - Super Metroid "Dimstar"
swansdown replied to orkybash's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
What a beat. It really gets going and quickly. Almost reaches 5 minutes, but I wish it were longer. -
OCR00821 - Perfect Dark "Air Force One Is Down"
swansdown replied to orkybash's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
A grand take on a grand track. I listen to the original often. I enjoy the touches added to the main theme and the deviations. The change-up from the source melody at 4:00 is welcome. -
OCR00678 - Breath of Fire "Epitaph of Alan and Cerl"
swansdown replied to Ginnsu's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Enjoyable mix, even if it feels more like a cover. The instruments (of course) and pacing are different than the source, but there's little original content. With that said, it's something I'll listen to in my BoF list. -
OCR00957 - Final Fantasy VI "Dancing Madly (Second Form)"
swansdown replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
For short versions of Dancing Mad, both First Form and Second Form are great. Not as in your face like a lot of other Dancing Mad remixes. Creates more of a tense atmosphere than anything. -
OCR00587 - Soul Blazer "Tears for a Moonlit Knight"
swansdown replied to orkybash's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This is one of those pieces I search for every now and then. It seems a piece perfect for contemplation. I feel it would have fit great in the Unsung Heroes album if it was made later. -
OCR00715 - Tales of Phantasia "Journey to Thor"
swansdown replied to orkybash's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
It does take a while to get going and even then it's more of a background track. Then again, some Tales tracks are like that (and usually meant to be played briefly in the game). I like parts of it, but that string-sounding backing loop drives me a bit nuts. -
A more industrial-techno sounding take on the source. Honestly, while playing I'd listen to this over the, rather subdued and quiet, source.

I'll see what I can do tonight, but no way I'll make it to even 50. Still, now that I've moved in and got my computer setup, I'm ready for next year. >:) Besides, I got all your bribes already. It's great to see so many reviews.

OCR01744 - Dragon Warrior "Overture Variations"
swansdown replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
It's a pleasant piece. I like how it's so playful when deviating from the source. -
OCR01047 - Speedball "Speedy Guitar"
swansdown replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
\w/ The transitions felt like switching gears. Love the guitar play at 2:20-2:40. -
OCR01762 - Final Fantasy VI "Terra Haute"
swansdown replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I agree with Mustin: It's pretty alright. :] A refreshing take on Terra. Sax solo! -
OCR03276 - Donkey Kong Country 2 "Madcap Magma"
swansdown replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I like how varied it is throughout. Strong end. ... And love the funk and monkey sounds at the start. XD -
OCR03176 - Batman (GB) "Kaikuluotain"
swansdown replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Nice track. Dips into a sort of noir feel. Perfect for a Batman stealth level. -

finished Ultima VI Intro Theme - 2013 Remix
swansdown replied to Klingsor's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
It's pleasant. With it's repetitive quality, I could see it being used as background for a quiet scene or village or even credits. (Yes, I know it's an intro: just saying. :p) Bit of melancholy as well, but also uplifting. -
OCR01395 - Artura "Dublin Delight"
swansdown replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I've listened to this one quite a bit. Thank you~ c: Great piece that would fit well in a Celtic band. -
OCR02566 - Final Fantasy "Requiem for a Dying World"
swansdown replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
The only time I want to listen to a FF death mix. Excellently put together. Fitting requiem.
