I'd just like to point out the incredible amount of stylistic variety on this album. Guitar, synth, orchestra... it's pretty much all there. Kudos to everyone that was involved in making this a success, and although I am a bit dissapointed that sir nuts and beatdrop were unable to join the fun, Shariq pulled through and showed versatility when tracks needed to be done. Congrats on the release, everyone... and to the listeners: enjoy! -chth

The mastering on the drums leave a lot to be desired... where's the snare? I need SNARE! Otherwise, this is extremely fun and the style is incredibly refreshing. -chth

That has all the words of any other post but makes half as much sense. Seriously, what? -chth

This works pretty damn well as a standalone piece, seeing as I am completely oblivious to Mega Man 6's OST. Ok, first off, This is really well produced. The EQ sounds completely full, and the resulting sound is very satisfying. In fact, I think I would have been turned off to this mix on the first listen if it weren't for the excellent sound achieved in the first few seconds. I don't like the solo violin that much (sounds really fake), and I like the solo sax a little more, but it's still a bit lame. I think it would have worked better in a higher octave, but I can't be sure without hearing it. Dug the solo vox, too. EDIT: I'm going to start encoding all of my songs in VBR to be exactly 6,291,456 bytes. Seriously. -chth

This is clearly an example of groove-bias and should have recieved the rejection form letter. It is not possible for something to continue for six minutes and twenty seconds and still be interesting the whole time. I am using bold to emphasize how serious I am about this issue. Wait. Yeah, this is awesome. I could have used a little more open high hat and a little less snare to give it more of a house feel, but that's nitpicking. Overall very groovy and enjoyable. -chth

Hey! I'm not the only one? Glad to see my risky move struck the fancy of one dude. -chth

Wow, this is coming together fast. That's a lot of mirror ops. I can't wait. -chth

It's just the guiro. Anyway, glad to see that someone caught the big reference to Ballad of the Windfish... I personally thought it was really obvious, but I guess that everyone isn't as religiously familiar with the Link's Awakening soundtrack as I am. Thanks for listening! -chth

The site looks amazing. We're almost there. -chth

I have no idea. I think it has something to do with Def Jam. Or something. I don't really know. But the sample actually says "YEEEAHH BOOYEEE!" If that helps. Kinda. -chth

I really like the separation that this mix has. Everything takes up its own space in the sonic field, and nothing interferes with anything else. It's really neat to isolate each of the individual parts throughout the whole piece, and hear what they're all doing. It's all very well thought-out and varied, and the way everything lines up and works together (think 0:54) is brilliant. Even with somewhat limited instrumentation, everything locks in and never gets boring. I'd like to say it's your best piece yet... but then again, you also did Pachebel's Ganon. -chth

This is a wonderful piece, and the drums still catch me off guard every time I listen. Good job. -chth

You can bet your ass we're used to it. At least it was quicker than Hedgehog Heaven. -chth

Just out of curiosity, have you heard Reel Big Mario by JAXX and Kaijin, chth? I always felt that fell under the catagory of ska. So, months later, I'm going to reply to that with: Yes, but that song is much more swing than ska. Still pretty good (if it weren't for that damned brass sample), but it's not the kind of stuff I'm thinking of. Also, that song doesn't really sound much like Reel Big Fish to begin with. -chth

I have yet to figure out whether or not you mean that, but if you do, awesome. -chth

Seriously. -chth

This mix does exactly what it's supposed to. And I, for one, don't mind supporting my latent groove-bias for this gem. The only complaint I have is with the ending; it's way to abrupt, in my opinion. I was expecting something like a fade-out, just to fit the feel of the track. Really solid stuff. -chth

...pwn't? -chth

More like RotS = Relics of the Star -chth

This is amazing, as per usual Blad's work. Crazy bastard. I have virtually no complaints. Anyway, the Chiisai mirror is 404'd. -chth

There needs to be a huge front-page announcement: VBR FUCKS WITH MEDIA PLAYERS. Anyway, this track is really cool. I dislike how some of the loops are layered, because they don't sound very natural when played on top of one another, but other than that, this is really atmospheric and groovy. -chth

I absolutley adore the ending of this song. -chth

That hiccup would be Trenthian. Where'd he go, anyway? -chth

Solid. Nothing too eye-opening or outstanding, but that's to be expected from a project that started twenty-three years ago. Kudos. -chth

Exactly what I was thinking. -chth
