OCR02888 - Mega Man 9 "TornadosaurusRex"
Black_Doom replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Shit, PR, you made me love Tornado Man's theme! This kickin' mix is an absolute delight for my ears. Really good D'n'B stuff. The vocal part near the end is a win as well, wish you made this mix much more vocal-centric. Mind-blowing track! -
OCR01767 - Star Fox "Barrel Roll"
Black_Doom replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Let's rock and roll, indeed. What an amazing energy-packed trance journey! The synths are just plain perfect and the meaty beat is hella catchy. Also love the glitching transition @ 2:53 with all these acoustic drums and piano. Great job, Sir Raptor! -
OCR03037 - Pokémon Red Version 'Dream Eater Mix'
Black_Doom replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
The music box intro is definitely a cool idea for a remix, especially when it leads to a dubstep part. But this isn't the kind of dubstep that's perfect to jam to. No. It's more emotional kind of stuff. There still are a couple of moments when it just bursts with energy, though, but they make this spooky-sounding track only more sinister. Nice job! -
OCR01324 - Sonic & Knuckles "Tomorrow's Wake"
Black_Doom replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I think orchestra is the name of the game whan it come to Sky Sanctuary Zone, but Rexy really made it work with piano. And she did it amazingly! Somehow she managed to make her arrangement sound very inspiring and uplifting yet serious and gloomy. I believe this is probably my favorite arangement of SSZ. Especially love the gorgeous part from 2:23. Excellent! -
OCR01755 - StarTropics "FlowTropiks"
Black_Doom replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Pretty good track here. Very mellow and very relaxing - the blend of soft drums, smooth EP, synths, acoustic guitar and even bits of brass certainly make everyone chill out. This collab is downright great -
OCR03079 - Seiken Densetsu 3 'Dragonfireplace'
Black_Doom replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Love what Rozo did here - this mix feels both very warm and dirty because of the wounderful wubwubwubs he used throughout the track. Definitely Ad's best work to date - extremely catchy and enjoyable. -
50 down, 150 to go Yay!

OCR02378 - SaGa Frontier 2 "Shimmering"
Black_Doom replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Very cute and uplifting work <3 The lead synth is clearly hard not enjoy and the whole song is really remeniscent of some outro from some anime, like djp said. It just puts a big smile on my face whenever I listen to it Good job, Mr. Lures! -
OCR01176 - Ice Climber "Snow Cone Heaven"
Black_Doom replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Man, Mazedude never stops surprising! I expected to hear anything but such sick jazz mix. The piano & vibraphone just shine in this mix, they're extremely awesome. And the rest of instrumentation create a very nice backing. So it turns out this mix is a standout piece of music. But did you really expected anything else from Chris? -
OCR02961 - Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon "The Clocktower"
Black_Doom replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Yeah, this is really different from most of Sixto's works, which are usually much more guitar-centric, but it doesn't mean that this track is bad, no. The vibe of this mix is excellent. The blend of chippy synths, rhythmic shreddage and some tasty piano really help to emphasize the Halloween-ish atmosphere of this track. Simply awesome -
OCR02069 - Castlevania "Castlemania 2010"
Black_Doom replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Castlevania + Kirby? Who'd have thought! But Ben seems to know how to make such weird combinations work in a good way. The transition to the Kirby section is pretty solid, and that section sounds very nicely, even though it sticks out a bit, being more cheerful and upbeat than the main source. All in all, very enjoyable head-bopping tune -
OCR01121 - Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (GG) "Reich Lake"
Black_Doom replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Pretty cool to hear a track with such highly percussive concept. Moreover, it's a highly percussive track from the amazing Mazedude! Nothing can go wrong here. It's also very cool that he tackled a less popular game of this franchise. So, aside from all the bouncing percussion used here, I also want to metion the playful organ and ambient sounds from the backing. They really help this mix to be a lot more varied. Without them this mix would probably just boring and dull. Sick mix, Chris! And remember guys and gals, it's from 2004! -
OCR01167 - Streets of Rage "Drop and Roll"
Black_Doom replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Yeah, it's not too awesome, there's nothng something special, but there's nothg to hate as well. This mix definitely focuses on rhythm a lot more than on the main melody - hence the funky bassline and heavy beat with some some breaks along the way. Simply nice mix. -
OCR02667 - Sonic 3D Blast (SAT) "Renewal"
Black_Doom replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
What a cool story behind this mix And I definitely get it. The evolving nature of this mix is awesome - it can be clearly juxtaposed with the process of volanic erruption. The bassline is pretty static, yeah, I hear it too, but the rest of instrumentation is sequenced very tight - the world-inspired precussion, the dramatic strings and piano, everything here just clicks immidiately. Amazing work, Guifrog! -
OCR03204 - Final Fantasy IX "Miles and Miles Away"
Black_Doom replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Such smooth jazz tracks have always been a great pleasure for me. You just lay down on your sofa, close your eyes and the music completly embraces you. Some killer drumwork + some killer sax playing + no less killer piano accompaniment = such awesomeness. Mad props, Joe! -
OCR02705 - Sonic Colors "Go into the Light"
Black_Doom replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Mmm... So dreamy and smooth. Really love how Bev managed to join all the sources into one cohesive song with solid transitions, build-ups and other stuff. My favourite part here is probably 3:46 - 4:40 just because of the leading synths The past-paced part later on is a great touch as well. Stellar work from Bev as always! -
I think that the title djp came up here with is the best that can be given to this mix. "Red Waltz" is just what I'm thinking about when I'm listening to his mix. It's something very sad, slow, sorrowful, with a touch of military atmosphere. Especially want to menthion the cello here - pretty gorgeous. Nice mix!

OCR03266 - Super Mario World "It's-a-Me"
Black_Doom replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This is surely a perfect track to open SCB. The vocal samples are very cleverly used and they fit here perfectly here. They really make this track so catchy. Gotta also mention that this phat bassline is sweet. Cool work! -
OCR03116 - Castlevania 'Swing When You're Killing'
Black_Doom replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Wow, what a unique cover! I didn't expect this theme to be covered in this way, but I simply can't get enough of it. It's super playful. And I'm also big fan of vibraphone, so this mix definitely satisfies my taste. And dat bass is pretty catchy as well. Very creative and groovy mix, love it. -
Haha, what a nice title! Especially for such sunny and cheerful mix. It's deifnitely not what I'm used to hear from Will (and his collabs), but it's still awesome! I totally get the King Lion-esque vibe coming from this track. The mix of world-inspired percussion, juicy brass stabs, bits of acoustic guitar, and, of course, Stevo's mesmerizing vocals is just a big pleasure to listen to. Very cool!

OCR02686 - Final Fantasy VI "Prologue"
Black_Doom replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
What an astonishing orchestral piece! It totally feels like something playing during the prologue of some epic/heroic movie. Love how strong it becomes at around 3-minute mark. Great track
