OCR00958 - Arkanoid (NES) "Black Block"
Corporal Eschebone replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Heh, nice use of relative neo-modern minimalistic cyber-sinewaves with Roland ulatrasounds here. Not too complicated, definately something you can wiggledance to. Yeah, but seriously, this is pretty nice. Not quite within my range of tastes, but close enough. Good job. -
OCR00525 - Mega Man X "Airbased"
Corporal Eschebone replied to orkybash's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I don't mind the low sound quality at all. I think it gives the mix a bit of character, like scars on a vintage tank. Real cool stuff, here. The Castlevania mix was great too. -
OCR00965 - Chrono Cross "Dreamer"
Corporal Eschebone replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
The guitar work somehow successfully pulls off its country influences while the rest of the mix is ambient enough to not make annoying repetitive or redneck. Really cool, this should go in a deer-huntin' game or the like. It'd make said game 5x better. -

This is concrete evidence that goat > thuo. -
OCR00919 - Bahamut Lagoon "Dragons of Paradise"
Corporal Eschebone replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
PxFury may be an asshole, but he has some impressive skills. Even the shitty judge fgts liked this one. qwert out of qwerty. -
OCR01156 - Beatmania IIDX 7th Style "Kick Your A"
Corporal Eschebone replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
There's something about that 7-note "thing" that makes this mix pretty damn awesome... Sounds almost like a violin. I love this. -
OCR00717 - Axelay "Kick My Axe"
Corporal Eschebone replied to orkybash's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Solid rock by Midee, prozax and Jeremy Johnson. Keeps the spirit of the original and only improves on it in every respect. Edit: Although, like Protricity and Riku said, you can't just improve on the original - You have to arrange it beyond just a transition and original instrumentation. Even an occasional changed or added note for the better would do. I s'pose the ending and the notation were the only things not improved on in this track. Still high-quality though. -
OCRA-0001 - Super Metroid: Relics of the Chozo
Corporal Eschebone replied to Protricity's topic in Album Reviews & Comments
This is an excellent project that I've had on my computer since soon after it was finished. Too bad it didn't get more response in this thread. -
OCR01233 - Shining Force "Armageddon"
Corporal Eschebone replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Awesome mix. I'm kind of a fan of both orchestral and driving military-esque music, so this is definately one of my favorites from Gray. Excellent quality and organization. -
OCR00818 - Mega Man 3 "Blue Reflection"
Corporal Eschebone replied to orkybash's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This is exceptionally beautiful. Starla has a pretty voice, and this song has a lot of emotion to it. The piano adds an interesting atmosphere, and I find this to be one of the best lyrical mixes on OCR. -
OCR00475 - Mega Man 4 "Let There Be Light"
Corporal Eschebone replied to Ginnsu's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I can't believe I didn't review this a year ago - This was one of the first mixes I got off WinMX that compelled me to go to this site. AmIEvil has done some excellent work with other mixes, but this is one of the best of them all. The title is extremely fitting to the atmosphere of the mix - Slow, dark and electronic. Very fine attention to detail, and an awesome remix overall. -
OCR00201 - Mega Man "Cut Man Sonata"
Corporal Eschebone replied to m68030's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Another one of McVaffe's classics right here. Expertly done piano, not too quick or slow. 'Tis a shame more people aren't as into piano as myself. ^^ -
OCR00383 - Xenogears "7 Years Broken"
Corporal Eschebone replied to Saunders's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I was surprised when I saw that this was a pre-400 mix of pretzel's - He usually stuck with his strange, distorted techno style early on, and this is quite a different take. From what I'm hearing, DJP has a great singing voice that goes very well with the piano. I really like how his voice sounds when slightly echoed, and he did a fine job combining the reverbed synth with the piano and... whatever that slivery xylophony thing is. Recommend. -
Grah, that intro just threw me right off. I was wondering why I liked this mix so much when I heard it again for the first time in a week or so, then the main melody came in. I gotta pay more attention. Anyway, I'd have to say that once this gets going, it's REALLY good. I'm a sucker for electric guitar, and this does its job.

OCR00157 - Turok 2 "Port of Adia Drummix"
Corporal Eschebone replied to m68030's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Seems a bit too close to the original. JV kept a lot of the source material here without much variation. It's kind of hard to criticise this mix, as I really liked both the original and this mix. It was a good early effort, anyway, and I'll definately keep it. -
OCR00961 - Phantasy Star IV "Wounds of the Past"
Corporal Eschebone replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
The mix seems kind of quiet, so I had to turn up my volume in order to write a reveiw of this. mreh. This is an emotional [though somewhat minimalistic] mix. I like it, but more as background music - sometimes it feels a bit too artificial and uneventful. I'm betting you turned the volume down to hide those little flaws, eh? Otherwise, you did a pretty nice job on your part. I'll enjoy this as long as I'm not thinking with a critic's mind. -
OCR00339 - Icewind Dale "Easthaven's Club"
Corporal Eschebone replied to Saunders's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I don't personally feel it does the original justice, but I still like it. It deviates quite a bit from the original in terms of genre. -
OCR01236 - Space Harrier "I Got the Spacebeam"
Corporal Eschebone replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I've never heard the original, but if I'm thinking of the same melody in the middle that DJP was referring to, I'd say it does seem like an afterthought. Mildly amusing though, and the original is still there. Get yourselves educated and do a forum search for a user named "StarBLaSt". -
OCR00947 - Wizball "Transformation"
Corporal Eschebone replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Heh, this mix certainly has a lot of good-tasting meat on it. Excellent driving synth. The mix has little pieces of industrail in here, and everything works pretty well for the final product.
