The Vodoú Queen

@Eino Keskitalo I had to look her up... XD Actually, the vox samples for this remix are from places like Cakewalk/BandLab, so I do not know necessarily where they originate from, but...now Imma research up on Elizabeth just to see (curiosity)! :P So, it might be! Thank you kindly and so much for the comment, and glad you enjoyed it! ♡ :D

Glad to see this one finally make the light of day. ...Well deserved. @aeroprism @colorado weeks I had expressed before in GSM1 how much I loved this song, and I'll reiterate it again here. Congrats to you both, esp. Seb, for becoming a new ReMixer. If y'all do revisit it (and hope so) would be lovely to hear the extra take. GL. HF. Hugs all around. Nice work. ♡

Saw this discussed on the Discord group awhile ago... Seems interesting, in concept and scope. Since I'm 1988, I'll do something either from Bloodborne, Elden Ring or FFXIV. Not sure as of yet which. Also happy to collab. ...GL, HF. Be back when I have a definite answer / direction on one of any of those 3 choices. :)

Haha!!--another one of the FFVIII OST I very much looked forward to hearing the remix of, "The Legendary Beast" is another that's been duly given its shine by those who made it. The fact that Earth Kid recites the *actual* in-game dialogue throughout, with all the full level and extent of fervor, showmanship and fun I always expect out of her vocal performances? Even better. From Ultimecia to Ultimecia, girl, I can tell you put your absolute ALL into this, and it not only surprised me, but damn...it reflects the lighter-voiced psychotic, chaotic nature of her character to a T. ♥ As usual, Zack and Viking has 'dem axes on pure CHUGG MODE, and I love it. The acoustics were the chef's kiss, honestly, and the synths glorious--couldn't (and wouldn't) expect less for the source covered here. Both parts of Ultimecia's fight done for the album were spectacular, made even more lovely by the fact her 3-part boss encounter is one of my favorites in the whole of the FF series (besides Kefka's and Zeromus'). My hats off to the chefs, and Devil horns all around. :) Nothing more to say here other than "keep 'em coming". ;) Huzzah for everyone on the SeeDs album--you all absolutely fucking ROCK. :D

Out of all the songs on the SeeDs of Pandora album, there are about 15 of them that I was absolutely stoked to have covered, and a dozen out of those that were absolute highlights and gems for me, in the end. This is one of them. "The Landing" from FFVIII is not only the opening scene of the game, (and by proxy, what introduces you to their world and gets you hyped for what's in store--I know it hyped the shit out of me, as a kid), it's one of my top five songs in the game on the whole, and I am SO, SO glad it was remixed. ...And when I found out it was to be an ode to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra AND "Carol of the Bells"? ...I do not think simple words could express how excited I was to hear this. And 'lo, it delivers, in spades! As usual, Zack's wondrous orchestral goodness smacks you across the cheek, only to have that love-tap be gingerly doused with tasty guitar licks and laced with the cherry that are those tubular bells. Everyone who collabed on this did a striking and fantastic job, "The Landing" being given the depth and breadth it deserved--in my opinion--and I'm certainly glad for the praise this has gotten and *finally* given the spotlight on the front-page. Well deserved, Zack & crew, and as always, I look forward to the next posts by you guys! Forever and always, keep up the good work and fighting the good fight. ♥

I just put mine through... xD ...4.5 hrs consumed in listening to everyone's stuff and giving some substantial review to each... D: HOWEVER--all of them were WELL worth the listen. :) ♥

Mine's in... :) Original plan didn't completely pan out...but seemingly this holiday season, quite a bit has been a lil' fucky-wucky on my side of the aisle. :| But something was indeed done, despite all that. Uh...happy rest of the holidays, ladies and gents. ♥ Speak soon. :D

Excellent work, guys. :) :D Lovely songs all around! A pleasure--as always--to be participating in this. ♡ Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and here's to another yeah full of (possible) bangers being made. :3

FWIW, if something like this happens for MnP, I'll be there, VG. Plan was to probably redo the very first PRC remix I've ever done, kinda demo my journey in the music making process since those years ago. Would be so happy to do it for MnP as well!!! Still remember both first rounds so fondly... ♡ And I still have the project files to boot!

Back again to where it all began... :0 This is extremely sad to see, and I wish this year I could've dedicated more time to PRC and MnP. However, Godspeed to everyone who was ever involved with either, and I still have fond memories of these even with my brief time doing them. ...But one more for old time's sake? *bro-fist* Hells yeah. Count me in.

Just hop on-board. Even if just for the experience. Both has a lot of music that is right up your alley tonally and soundscape-wise, IMHO.

What a horrible night to have a curse...but fuck it. Castlevania me up, sir.

Sign me up

What a bday present, indeed! ...Just started listening to this...and I already have goosebumps, and it's only 10-15 seconds in...and it just...grows ever-more expansive and glorious from there. ♥ Your years of experience shows in spades, despite the contention with "mix issues", and I can see why people say "it's a feature, not a bug" in some aspects and respects. Nonetheless, this is beautifully done and written and you weave so many recognizable sources in seamlessly...and it feels without effort (even though I know there was a ton of effort in this bad boy.) It's to a grand-scale of epic and an inspiration, and I'm glad Emunator vouched this one to be up on the feed, because we all would've missed out otherwise... Happiest bday to you two, the fab twins! ? ? I look forward to hearing and seeing more of your stuff up on the feed and on NewGrounds mixposts. ♥ :3 And I truly hope most of us can aspire to create and get something this hype into annals of OCR history.

Absolutely loving the 70s/80s rock vibe... Reminds me of stuff from Saxon with a bit of Motörhead / Judas Priest up in there (and yep, defo Jethro Tull and others!!) The flute is gorgeous (got Pat Metheny vibes there for a bit), but this is a very well done and put together piece! I'm glad it got through and got the spotlight...and it managed despite the mad-dash rush Lucas talked about on the Discord and his write-up to get it in for the album. Happy bday, my man! Good shit and looking forward to more from ya up on the feed. ♥

SNES for me.

Bring it. Any time, any day (been always wanting to do remixes of FF IV & VI anyways... xD)

Hahaha

I'm up for it Sounds like fun.

I managed to get something done, so let's hope we can get it on in.

Nice ♡

Listening to it now. Great stuff and flows so well. ♥ Feliz Navidad and a pleasant New Year everybody.

Yeah I'm kinda wondering too... This seems to have been a bit in a limbo, but is there any way to possibly get in on this bandwagon at this late stage? Lufia 2 is one of my faves from the SNES lineage of rpgs...would be a shame to miss out on the opportunity.

Just had a listen, and from hearing some of HoBo's other works, this is certainly right up his alley. Got much better at building atmosphere, and it's just hitting all the right points of intrigue, peril and fear within the composition. It went from sounding like something from its source, to something from Zombies Ate My Neighbors (which I am guessing is the inspiration, judging by the title name.) Especially with the vocals towards the end. ♡ Love it. A worthy listen and just in time for Halloween too, so yeah. Congrats on getting (another?) breakthrough song, HoBoKa, and here's to more in your future. ?

Congrats on finally leaping that hurdle. It's a very beautiful piece. ♡
