  1. Unholy cow, there's so much going on at 3:20 and every bit of it is amazing. I don't think I really understood what was going until the end, and then I wanted to start over from the beginning. Color me impressed.
  2. Wow, this song is nuts. Talk about shifting moods-- jarring in a good way. I would never have pegged it as a WillRock production until the giveaway at 3:10. And the ending, that's hair-raising stuff.
  3. Man, talk about a pumped up intro. I was on the edge my seat for a good minute as the song built up to those unforgettable notes that remind us all of the noble madness behind Metal Gear. I would have liked the Jungle bit to have meshed with more natural grace into the rest of the ReMix, but I can't say no to the guitar and synth joining forces for one heck of an ending (abrupt as it may be). Also, I think you guys would do justice (pun!) to an Ace Attorney project. Maybe ask OA for a few pointers and go!
  4. This ReMix is like a radical onion, possessing layers and layers of rad. It's such a pumped up, victorious collaboration of champions!
  5. That's what was going through my head. I particularly enjoyed the 8-bit-like breakdowns-- they reminded me of halc just a little-- but everything else sounded real run-of-the-mill. Luckily, the mill is a pretty sweet mill and also is good at running.
  6. I love how this arrangement wanders through the history of Zelda and lightly touches upon some of its greatest themes. Excellently executed and easy to get lost in.
  7. I'm notorious for tuning out of lengthy, dark electronic tracks due to a wandering mind that doesn't gravitate towards the style. But once I forced my brain to stop multitasking, I gained an appreciation for the abyss A Derelict Machine conjures. I also love that this is a song, ultimately, about dolphins. Take that, happy-go-lucky, fin-clapping stereotypes!
  8. The sound of heart meters refilling can be effective stress relieve in and of itself, so using it to kick off this upbeat ReMix was a bright idea! Not much to go on source-wise, but that makes it all the more impressive. I like it!
  9. Bringing the hyperactive Genesis version of this song down to its mellow, mysterious brethren on the Saturn was a neat idea-- and it paid off! Perhaps this ReMix's greatest strength is the way it takes time to grow.
  10. What a lovely song! That electric guitar is clearly having a good time, and so am I. I get an "everything's going to be all right, so maybe do a little dance" sort of vibe. A fun, fitting end.
  11. Heyyyyy, it's the Zone Runners! I have a soft spot in my heart for Hunnid-P's fast-and-furious-but-trying-a-little-too-hard echidna rap, and I love this goofy, stylish take on it. One of the best songs from you guys yet!
  12. I saw the title and everything immediately fell into place. Upon listening, I was not disappointed. I love the goofy and the unexpected!
  13. Oh my gosh this is wonderful. I loved every second of it. Joyfully, unapologeticlly 60s/70s with a relentless drive that does the best of the NES proud. The nods to a stupider, more innocent Batman made me smile, too. Other unexpected vibes detected include Mario Kart, Space Channel 5, and Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz (good old Naganuma).
  14. I find this ReMix to be cool and competent. I don't think it'll stick with me, but I do like some of those synth sounds!
  15. I'm with djpretzel all the way-- is it possible that WillRock was writing SNES game tunes in the '90s? Or perhaps it was his esteemed father, WilliamRock. Either way, this is a bodacious ReMix with some killer drum fills!
  16. Energetic and inspiring. You can bet this'll get played a lot on my music-playing devices of choice! I have to admit that I did miss the vocals a little bit, foolishly filling the voice with off-key snatches myself, but I started appreciating the song's rhythm even more near the end.
  17. There's too much talent in this ReMix to handle! Everything about it is perfectly smooth, magical and on point. I loved the surprising, full-fledged optimism on display in the original version, and this more electronic take is super cool.
  18. By the demonic cuff links of Dracula's finely tailored linens, this is a fun song. I didn't expect vocals to pop up, but when they did I found myself surprised by how naturally they fit. The build was really satisfying, too-- especially that rad, little solo at 4:25!
  19. Well, congratulations on another colossally cool milestone, and thanks to every last OC ReMixer who helped achieve it! Like Cephalo, listening to the tunes coming out of this place opened new doors, windows, and mysterious floor panels to this amazing world/community. The next thing I knew, I had a thousand OC ReMix songs on my library and a podcast all about game music (which introduced me to new OC ReMix friends). So yeah, keep it up. It's a pretty good website, this. Also, this was a skillfully executed idea and I'm duly impressed!
  20. Hotline Miami has one of those rare soundtracks that I just don't get. No matter how many times I listen to it, I can't get anything out the dance beats. This ReMix, however, managed to punch up the source and cast the music in such an atmospheric, uncomfortable light that I ended up digging it. Very well done!
  21. The FTL soundtrack is awesome! Also FTL is awesome! With that out of the way, I'd like to add this ReMix to the list of awesome things. Those drums made it for me.
  22. Techno/cyberpunk is a hard sell for me, but I can't deny this smooth, layered craftsmanship. The robotic monologue was neat, but the aftermath felt kind of weak until the exciting finish. The whole ReMix has an effortless quality to it.
