This is fantastic. -
Love it. The synth lead is too piercing for me, but otherwise...yeah. Excellent string work.

OCR01065 - Phantasy Star II "Dezoris Winter"
Isk replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Comments/Reviews
Woo, more GL stuff. Intro is almost angelic, sounds like Enya but feels like it's rising to something bigger. The opening beat at 0:19 is interesting, as are the chimes that soon follow. I like the strings at 0:24, very cinematic and strong. Percussion shifts well at 0:34, setting the tone for a new section. This next section bounces around a lot, very interesting once your ears get used to it. The bassline is alright, no real complaints. The rest of the song varies a bit but it's similiar to the first parts. I like the background vocals that return. The ending is a little sudden with that final hard drum beat. I might get used to that and like it as I listen to the song more often. My main complaint is that tempo and volume often shift without much warning. It has a definite cinematic feel which shifts from soothing to strong and back. I like this the more I listen to it, definitely worth a download. -
around 1:16 the tempo changes with the introduction of a bass and later what sounds like a distorted guitar. it's almost too soft but it lends a nice background as the pianos come back. I really like the bass here, seems like you've spent some time on it. it does its own thing while following the other instruments at the same time (especially around 2:19). At 2:23 you add some more percussion elements which again keep the song interesting without taking over. Around 3:23 is an organ and 3:32 a sax while the drums switch to hi-hats while...lots of instruments keep entering and exiting and returning. No complaints with the ending. This whole song is just a school in variation, melodically and instrumentally. Top notch work, especially with the drums.

Interesting interpretation. I didn't like it initially (mostly due to the drumbeat) but it grew on me.

OCR00330 - Radical Dreamers "Northern Promise"
Isk replied to Saunders's topic in ReMix Comments/Reviews
Wow. Haunting, emotive, poignant...uhh, I'm running out of fancy words. Wonderful stuff here, I dig the snare cadence in the background. Only complaint is the length, which isn't too bad as it keeps the song from getting repetitive. -
OCR00388 - Chrono Trigger "Time Circuits High Voltage"
Isk replied to Saunders's topic in ReMix Comments/Reviews
Lots of variety, lots of different synths used to keep the track entertaining...very well done. I'm a fan of Dale's orchestral arrangements and basically thought that's all he really did so I was pleasantly surprised to see his take on electronica. -
OCR00621 - Chrono Trigger "Times of Distortion"
Isk replied to orkybash's topic in ReMix Comments/Reviews
Rockin. Like djp, I too thought of The Clash when I heard this. Think ya coulda done more with the drums, but it's really excellent, already one of my favorite remixes.
