OCR01170 - Seiken Densetsu 3 "This Heart"
Longinus replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I associate this song with falling in love w/ my gf. When I would talk to her online I would always play this, because it seemed so fitting. It gives me the feeling that I'm in a free-fall, tumbling forever but without a care, suspended in perfect contentment and beauty. Thanks, Destiny. Your music does more for people than you can realize. -
WOW. This has taken Zelda trackage and added something to it. At 1:02, was I the only one who felt a serious Final Fantasy VII echo? Then back to Zelda hehe. I enjoy all of this remix, but those moments when the strings come out really, really make it for me, and make me think of FFVII. Haha, sorry lol I can't help it.

This is unbelievably professional! Loop, loop, loop.... -
OCR01125 - Astérix (NES) "Niggaz 4 Life"
Longinus replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I'm not a huge fan of this one. All I kept thinking was, "Christ, is this song in minor or major key?" I mean, COME ON. If it's minor, which it certainly sounds like 90% of the time, then stop throwing in the goddamn major third. Jesus! Just stop lol! Other than that this is ok, but I honestly can't get past those major thirds. Better they had just taken the entire melody and put it in minor. I'm also not a big fan of the modulation into a new key that happens around halfway in. edit: I'm listening to this again, and damnit, if you just changed that one note! Right now it's like this: You my nig - ga Csharp D E A It could easily have been this: You my nig - ga Cnatural D E A Just my opinion though. -
This has just become my all-time favorite remix. It just represents everything I'm trying to do with my own music. Damn. po!, you rock.

OCR00146 - Mega Man 3 "Gemini Salsa"
Longinus replied to Jivemaster's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
0:35 is badly dissonant, and I'm sure it's not intentional. Other than that, I love this mix. The low techno-ey kick makes it not really salsa. Also the bassline lacked some nuances that I would have included. (But hey, I'm a jazz upright bassist) Overall this is a great remix. Highly recommended. -
OCR01093 - Breath of Fire "His First Good Deed"
Longinus replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Trenthian definitely knows what he's doing with the arranging part of this. Production is nice too. It's almost epic, in an understated way. Percussion is done very well. Wait... here come the synths and the groove. Nice! Wait... back to orchestral/ambient. Wait... back to groove. Damn, this is nice! Wait... lots more groove. XD I won't write any more, just prepare for a nice little ride with this remix. -
OCR01092 - Chrono Trigger "Electric Clouds"
Longinus replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments

OCR01085 - Mega Man 3 "Magnet Man Goes West"
Longinus replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Wow, this is impressive. Of course I'm a sucker for Megaman remixes in general, and Magnet Man was one of my favorite themes. This does justice to it, and the fact that not every single instrument is a synth makes it easy for non-technoers like me to listen and enjoy. It's smooth and edgy all at the same time. Definitely recommended. -
OCR00514 - Super Mario Bros. 2 "Underground Riddims"
Longinus replied to orkybash's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
McV does absolutely the best percussion. Absolutely. Everything about this mix just fits perfectly. Highly recommended. -
OCR00405 - Super Mario 64 "Sunken Suite"
Longinus replied to Ginnsu's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This is absolutely my favorite remix on the site. It gives me chills, makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end.... That's rare for ANY music, this is beautiful. -
OCR01079 - Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker "Ancient Hero"
Longinus replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This raised the hairs on the back of my neck. Great job, I needed a mix of these songs and Darkesword delivered. =Þ -
OCR00994 - Final Fantasy VII "Where Destiny Meets"
Longinus replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I told you that I like it, but I still don't think that it's jazz. I'm a jazz bassist, I play paying gigs in a number of combos, I'm a member of a high school band that wins jazz festivals all over the country. I really don't want to start some sort of fight, I'm not mouthing off about anything. Your ReMix is professional and well-produced. I enjoyed listening to it, not as a jazz piece, but as a laid back and ambient theme. -
OCR00994 - Final Fantasy VII "Where Destiny Meets"
Longinus replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This isn't really jazz as far as I can tell. The beat does not come from any distinct style of jazz that I've ever heard. It's not Latin, it doesn't swing, and it certainly isn't funk. It's that odd semi-genre that is found mainly in Japanese productions of any sort. Anyway, this was nicely done. It doesn't really grab my attention during any section, but it makes nice background music. I'd just appreciate it if you guys would be more careful about labeling a piece as jazz. It's not just a genre for any contemporary song that has a neat bassline or drumbeat. Still, nice job on this. -
OCR00187 - Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past "Jazz of Zelda"
Longinus replied to m68030's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This is a nice little groovy tune. My main complaint is that the eighth notes are very tight, almost breaking the jazz feel of the piece. Oh well. I enjoyed this. -
OCR00015 - Bubble Bobble "Hillbilly Rodeo"
Longinus replied to Joe Redifer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
DJP clearly says "lick my mountain dew" at 1:23. I laughed my ass off all the way through this mix, even more so when the voice came in. This is definitely a favorite of mine. -
OCR00989 - Legend of Zelda "Link Goes to New Orleans"
Longinus replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This was very well done IMO. The improv was nice and the drumming is fabulous. I'll agree that it isn't the most exciting jazz song that I've heard, but it certainly keeps the groove going, and it's easy to listen to. To make jazz sound smooth and calm can be quite difficult... this arrangement and group succeeds.
