suzumebachi

looks like i weren't the only one liqour'd up last night. nice write-up dave. this song is pretty cool. what with the guitars and the awesome 3 note solo in the middle (i'm just fuckin with ya snappleman). good guitar playing, excellent mastering and such, and such. you can download it now. i'm through. i need to sober up a bit more before i do any more reviews

If I were to partake and contribute musically to the project, would I, the great and noble Suzumebachi, be required to submit an audition?

Nice work bubs. Teach me to play piano and stuff, and I'll be your friend forever. Dynamics are key in a piano arrangement, and you definately pulled them off nicely. WHUT stfu bini

nice work. totally not as good as protricity's manbeef on rainbow street though. or fowl jive. anyways. i'm totally digging the synths and the drums. and what is that at 2:23? nice touch. i like how you worked in the stuff and crap. overall nice arrangement. best orchestral arrangement i've ever heard. god i love that distorted bass. i love that DnB! when the song started picking up again at 4:19 i thought i was listening to DJ Megamansonic for a second. the dancy bits around 5:27 are awesome too. ps: i didn't know you played guitar!

see! told you guys it didn't have anything to do with the unprotected anal sex comment! it was erm.. an unprotected anal sex virus!

Track 28/29 - Dream Hunter?

a wip of track 28/29 from the NSF can be found here: Mirror 1 Mirror 2 Mirror 3 Mirror 4 i whipped this up pretty quick, cuz basically i had a bunch of ideas for the song and i wanted to get them down before i went to bed and forgot. the mixing is pretty crappy as a result of shoving it along, but i thinks the arrangement is showing through anyhow. umm. no more guitar at 3:30 in the morning. doesn't work so well. enjoy. feedback, comments, etc.

do i seriously have to audition? if so... umm... click my sig. fgt. anyways i claim tracks 28 and 36 from the nsf if you recall...

wow. sadorf on OCR? maybe god really is dead. i never would have thought this day would come. sadorf!

this is definately one of my favorite remixes, despite its obvious shortcomings (really short, bad recording quality). i think my main reason for liking it so much is the pure emotional qualities of this excellent arrangement. not to mention this guy is a pretty damn good guitarist. if this were a studio quality recording, and if it was at least a little longer, it would be absolutely awesome beyond compare.

SUM1 TURNED ON TEH CARAZY MUZAK MACHINE (aka StarBLaSt) AND MAED A REMX OF TEH ROBO TEHME. LOOK MA< I"M ON TV!

err.. WOW someone remembered that? that was quite a while ago thanks for all the feedback guys. i really appreciate it

i rarely write reviews here... but i think this one needs it... ok.. first off... WHY IS EVERYTHING SO DRY!??@%% :( the intro is terrible, in my honest opinion... i mean seriously... gah. what the hell is that horrible flute sounding thing? wow. yuck. and that guitar is just sorta there. it sounds SO quantized and lifeless. every note is the EXACT same volume. play with the velocities or something man. same thing with that piano. SOOO DRY and lifeless. use some reverb! play with the velocities! the backing strings work pretty well, although at some parts they are kinda overpowering. that harp at 1:02 is blah also. once again. reverb plz! 1:14 ... now we're talkin... but that harp is still killing it for me. 1:25 now we're really moving... but still... the harp... gyah....... those drum samples could have also used a tad of reverb. then at 1:51 it really kicks ass. the synth there ain't the greatest, but it actually works pretty well for this bit here. the strings backing the song work great. at 2:35 you bring in another synth... it doesn't sound TERRIBLE... but it could have used some EQ (some of the notes just dont sit right with me for some reason) and the ending... wtf? no wait... no yeah. wtf? the ending would have been perfect if you held onto it for a whole measure and THEN dropped it or something. ok... so here are my suggestions: A) Reverb!!!11111 It sounds SOOOO FREAKIN DRY MAN. Play with the velocities on the guitar and the piano. make it flow better if you know what i mean. it sounds like it's being played on a really cheesey non touch sensitive midi keyboard or something. C) find some not so GM sounding percussion samples... these aren't terrible, but there are tons of free ones out there that are a lot better, so there's really no excuse. D) EQ and mastering skills are your friend. E) Being able to end a song is your friend. nothing personal, but i just feel like this song could be 10x better with a little more work.

wot wot? disco dan be holdin out on us eh?

yeah i've been listening to this for a while now, and i can't get enough of it. glad to see it's on OCR to be shared by the masses!! and yes... J:/Drive's 600 A.D. theme also kicks ass.

this is great. the ending theme from radical dreamers (Le Tresor Interdit) would easily be in my top 10 favorite songs of all time. Along with the epilogue from radical dreamers as well. That game had some very very good music. Yasunori Mitsuda would have to be one of my heros. Anyways, on to the arrangement. Some nice lush stuff going on here. Everything sounds great. Especially that piano. The arrangement itself is genious. The piano flows smoothly throughout the entire song, and the percussion and everything else work together to bring you into this song. There's also many nuances that i've noticed that help make this song great. There are lots of little things that you may not notice by themselves, but without them the song wouldn't be itself. Overall, this is great. One of my new favorites, definately. Thanks for covering one of my favorite songs Kaijin.

oh man this is great. damnit. it's about time man. downtime was an awesome song, and you took that greatness and applied it to chrono trigger. I LOVE YOU MAN! there is nothing to complain about in this mix. it is damn near audio perfection. i don't see how anything could have been done differently. no missed notes. no clipping. nothing. volumes are just right. exact amounts of reverb... dan surely knows what he is doing.

that's very time consuming, and very much a pain in the ass. if you wanna go on doing it that way, fine. but the step sequencer and playlist editor are there for a reason. it's about six-thousand times easier to do it that way. also... well... nevermind.

Actually this song was originally the theme for the first stage in kirby's dreamland. Then it was ported to the SNES's Kirby SuperStar (Star Kirby SuperDeluxe on the Super Famicom) under the game title Spring Breeze which is essentially the same game only colorized (and you couldn't have abilities in the game boy version). Anyways, this arrangement starts off by greeting the listener with some seriously fat sweeps, followed by a sample of the kirbster himself screaming... something... in japanese... i guess... then comes the mad bass and a lead synth that reminds me of a kid with asthma hyperventilating (not necessarily a bad thing). the song continues on into upbeat chaos (MWAHHAHAHAHA) and the whole time you're smiling. if you listened to this mix and didn't crack a little smile, THERE'S SOMETHIN WRONG WITH YOU BOAH. overall this is some seriously hyperactive upbeat fun stuff, and i recommend it to anyone who likes kirby, likes happy stuff, or likes to stuff cottonballs in their shorts.

This is probly the best song on OCR.

lol that's what i use it for. i never use the main automation, so i usually set it as the end of a song. i much prefer setting up individual patterns for each automation. it's a pain in the ass to scroll 30 measurements in the event editor when you can just use a new pattern and create the automation in the first measure then place it where you need it in the playlist.

this song has a cool factor of like 68 billion or something. this is a really freakin cool song. excellent arrangement and performance by mr mustin. there seems to be a few small timing problems (hardly noticable) but that's to be expected when playing live instruments. especially so many and one at a time (i think it would be kinda hard to play a guitar and a trombone or whatever at the same time). the fact that there's so few timing errors blows me away. i've tried doing stuff like this (recording each instrument seperately) and there's ALWAYS timing errors, but mustin pulls this here off masterfully. i give mustin... uhhh... 5 lightbulbs or something yay

blahahahahahahaha this is like one of those songs that would be perfect for sneaking into your school's office and blaring it over the PA system. that would be great. classic.

blahahahahahahahahahahhahahaa that commercial was cool. i have it on mpg thx to six-something yep. this remix is a classic.

this has to be one of my favorite OC ReMixes of all time. lol... how does rama come up with that stuff? anyways... i like it because it is different. you got to hear this on 5.1 surround sound (if you havent yet anyways). it owns you. lots of fun little blips and noises make up the "percussion", which by themselves probably wouldnt make much sense, but when you put them together and mix in some crazy filtered like mad synth, it all comes together to make one beautiful mindalicious (new word? delicious for the brain. or something. bite me.) groove that is great for chilling to while fixing yourself a nice latte, or smashing human organs to pieces with a tire iron. either way. 9.7/10
