Ohhh looks like once again I get to be first reviewing.
I liked the original and this is an interestng take on it. Very flowing and calm. The samples chosen are just perfect. The piano solo was interesting. Especially some of the delays on the piano, the "stutters" if you will. They made it a little more alive.Now about these wrong notes (4:45)... It's obvious these are intentional, but the real question is, were they used in the proper context? This is a smooth flowing ambient piece. If this were a speedcore crazy madness track I can understand dissonance like that, but here, it just sounds bad. Like DJP said, it leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth.
Overrall, a very good mix. A chill take on a very good song. And from yet another newcomer. I think a lot of our latest mixes are from new people arent they?
-
Wow. I thought this was actually very good. Its minimalist and slow, but achieves such a level of mood it deserves a lot of praise. It almost pulls you in with its depth. I like how DJP put it, "a journey", cuz that's what this song really is. It isn't trying to blow you away with a wall of sound or anything, it's just a dark, foreboding, sad song. Best part: when the looong note finally drops at 1:32. Definitely a good listen if you don't mind the genre.
Note: I actually am not a fan of ambient stuff because I think its boring and overly simple. This song just, was good though.
-
Yeah, and then we could all go play basketball with Michael Jordan and get ice cream with Neil Peart!!!!
-
unobtrusive basically means it isn't bad enough to ruin the song, but now that I think of it, the guitar work was more like, "amazing". Especially now that you tell me its one take. I know this forum is only for reviews but I had to correct my stance on this song as my review made it sound like I didn't think it was as good as I think it is. AND PLEASE DO A NEW VERSION OF THIS SONG!
-
It's so beautiful...I love how it grows from just Jason and his guitar, to a multi-layered rock song. Progression like that makes me feel like the song is going somewhere and I'm going with it. Which is good. And the vocals. Ahh yes, the vocals. They start out fine, but at 5:30 it makes me wanna cry it's so off-key. The lyrics were written nicely I must say, and overrall I can't really complain about the vocals. The musicianship was also very, unobtrusive, for lack of a better word. This pretty much is mediocre if you compared it to other songs of this genre, but the fact that it's based off a VG song makes it good. A good listen, and something new to add to your collection. (cuz I know you have one)
-
No I didn't. Why, simply check the post again, I think you'll find I clearly said AmIEvil.
To be honest though, I always get those two mixed up. For some reason. I think it's because they both do all kinds of music, from orchestral to rock. Damn it I oughta proof-read before I post.
-
Note to self: Never listen to MongooseDog becuz he is an idiot. I can't figure out what drove mazedude to exclude bass from this song. It would make it just that much better. What is here though, is a very energetic listen. I loved almost every second of it. AmIEvil never ceases to amaze. Well, sometimes he does, but he never lets me down.
-
Let's all laugh and point at Mustin!
It is true though that there need to be more reviews of this song I guess. Cuz it does rock.
-
I absolutley would love this mix to death if the drums didn't sound soooooo fake. Actually, it isn't all the drums. It's pretty much just the snare. It's too poppy. Now I know what you're thinking "What a nit-picker" but you have to remember, that sound is repeated every 2 and 4 throughout the whole song. And even more than that at some points. The arrangement is spot on sounding like a Dream Theater type deal. Except the lead singer isn't a woman like the Dream Theater guy.
The "falling down" sound that occurs as they say Punch-Out is just awesome. Hell, this whole song kicks three and a half pounds of ass. Definitely an OCR classic. -
Wow. I don't know about if this was a MIDI rip or any of that, but I loved what I heard. You can feel the emotion flowing out of this song. And that says a lot to me. Very very good stuf happening in this song. Keep making good music maestodeclure! please...
-
About the drumming: It seems a lot of the new jazz players play in this fashion. Just check out The Bad Plus or Fieldwork. Awesome drumming abound my friends (and in the case of Bad Plus, very very good music as well).
As for the mix itself. Awesome stuff. I could listen to stuff like this all day. I love how the organ is circling around my head and fading in and out like that. It's a creepy touch. Very very well arranged and executed.
Oh, and DJP put "kudos" at the end of his review. Is that higher than "Highly Recommended" or lower than "Recommended"? Or is it just something he felt like putting at the end of his post?
-
I said it all in the WIP forum. This song kicks so much ass its not funny. Although I don't know why the rap mix isn't up. Anyways, the singing, samples, everything, its all perfect. I love this song!!!
-
I guess it just aint my kind of music. I thought it got kinda repetitive and boring...
-
While it was stereotypical, predictable and all the other things dance music seems to naturally possess, I still thought it was good. Especially when the ring noise appears at the end.
-
There's nothing inherently wrong with this mix. It's very well put together, and achieves the desired effect. I only start really loving it when the piano comes in.
The only tiny problem I have is with the drums. I just don't like the way they sound. Personal preference.
Nice work mv. A very good listen. -
Aww man. As soon as I start gettin into this it's over. Oh well, what's there sounds fantastic. The bass doesn't seem to fit, but the fact that a guiro makes an apearance makes up for it. Organ solo is the best part. It seems like at some points there could have been more you know? Call me crazy, but someitmes it just feels... empty. I think you did a good job with the guitar and trying to make it sound like a surf song (typical surf whammy bar-ism at :43). Good job overrall.
-
This es muy bueno. I was a little iffy at the start, but once the melody really got goin i was pulled in. I loves it. It's really high quality. And everytime the notes do that little "fall" (3:26) it makes me happy. I'm glad more of GL's work got thru, OCR needs this kind of stuff every once in a while.
-
While this a grooving little piece, it lacks polish. The off-key main synth, which seems like it's only off-key when it hits that first note, just kills it for me. I mean, it's like *BOOP* *boodeboodeboo etc.* and that first boop just makes me wince. How hard is it to get it right? Anyway, volume levels are also a little wonky, as the drums eat everything else (yes I know it's hip-hop but let's be reasonable) and you can barely hear the synth that comes in at 1:22. If the main synth wasn't so off I would just be nit-picking and could love this piece. As is though, it makes me cry.
-
F***in awesome. This beats out some of the stuff other, more experienced remixers put out. Funny thing people say that OCR's judging system "locks out" new people because of the high standards. But then songs like this come out and show you new people are still making it into OCR. Very very good mix. Hope to see more from Gustav.
-
Oh man, there you have it folks. It looks like there IS someone on this planet who doesn't like this song. The condolences of all OCR members are with you, sad fellow.
I personally love this song to the core of my soul. It's so clever it burns. Well, not really, but it is one of the most creative things on this site. Taking a nine second song and making it last as long as it does without being boring. It's what OCR is all about.
-
It brings a tear of joy to my eye that, as a drummer, someone has finally decided to pay attention to the drums in their song. Some of these fills are mind-blowingly well-done. Musically, fitting in very well. It's good to someone, who isn't a drummer, going beyond the simple "hi-tom, middle-tom, low-tom" triplet thing. I love this mix. Now if only I could hear the whole thing...
-
Wow, very very good mix. The guitar solo really does put this over the top. Loved/loving every minute of it. Near the end though, it does kinda get a bit repetitive, but only a little. It still rox my sox.

I downloaded this song a long time ago, and loved it like nothing else. Only now did I realize I never wrote a review...
I loved this song back on the NES and was thrilled somene remixed it. All of it's quite good. The piano, strings, etc. The only problem I have is the drums. There's this one repeating pattern. It's a typical rock shuffle (sped up an assload of course) and the hi-hat plays an "open-close-open-close" thing in between the snare hits. It seems to cut through the rest of the song, and I can't notice anything but it. It, for lack of a better word, annoys me. I used to be able to listen to this remix in joy, until I heard that pattern. Over and over and over. Then I wanted to shoot myself for having ruined one of my favorite songs on OCR. Ballz out.
In case you feel like ruining the song like I did, the pattern sounds like this: seedileedily pop, seedileedily pop, seedileedily pop (say it fast and listen to the song. You'll see what I mean.)

!ME GUSTA BAILAR!! Tu madre es gorda y tu padre es tonto. !El perro y el gato tiene hambre! Mi queso no es su queso, y las maracas son muy caliente. !Yo tengo tu familia! Tu hermana es muy bonita...
I loved this remix to no end. I always thought Kefka's theme had a latin flavor to it, and indeed I was not the only one, as we now have TWO Latin Kefka remixes at this site. I've heard some people call this beat "salsa" and "mambo" but really it's more of a soca (read:soul calypso) beat. At least, the snare is playing a total soca rythym. I found the brass hits got on my nerves a lot, but other than that, I really liked this song. Great jorb Noppz!
