[OCR00137 - Super Mario 64 "Liquid Mario"]

Hmm... it's wierd that he would submit this as a female and point out himself that it was the first remix by a female... seems kinda like blatent dishonesty (going beyond just diff aliases) if ya ask me

But if this issue was covered before, like ya say, no need for me to bring it up again... just my two cents

It was covered before and waaaaaaaaaaaay in the past. I think we should just change all of those damn descriptions just to avoid confusion like this, it isn't necessary anymore. But hey I'm not the one making them, I just make the music.

[OCR00504 - Mega Man 2 "Crash Test Dummy Man"]

I haven't liked a single AE remix to date. They take to long to get into some of them (especially my favorite, Bubbleman. ARG!) This one hasn't done anything to change my mind either. He plays with it too much and destroys the original feel. This song is really the only one I sort of tolerate, because I loved the original Crashman theme, and another remix I heard, but this one is just beating around the bush when it comes to the actual tune. Half the songs the actual level tune is hidden so deep among beats and sounds that you can't tell what level it's for. Electron did a great job with Bubbleman, really got the feel of a water boss down using tropical tied instruments like a steel drum. What do you think of when you think water? Beaches, my thought goes like this: Water = Beaches = Jamaica. See? If AE wants to impress me, he has to work harder. Electronica doesn't work for Megaman.

I really don't frequent the review posts too much, but this particular response got my attention. I think it's great to try to leave responses of constructive criticism for people in order for them to improve. But to go on this website, download the (FREE) songs by a particular artist, and then bitch about how he should work harder because you don't happen to like the style he's using in his excellent remixes is total bullshit. Artists like AE don't have to submit songs to this site, they do it because it's fun and because they want to share their creations with other fans that might enjoy it. To go on these boards and be so disrespectful and rude pretty much invites people who actually APPRECIATE the work that goes into thes songs to basically say "If you don't like it, then please go away." Take your negative attitude and your similarly negative comments somewhere where they are more deserved and perhaps tolerated, and don't try and just shit on some of the best remixes on this site just because they don't happen to tickle your fancy.

Nobody's forcing you to like these songs, but if you don't, then have a little more respect than to go around bitching about them. As for AE working harder, I think it is the general consensus on this site that he's one of the least lazy (and most resourceful) remixers around here, and does a great deal of justice to the MegaMan songs. Of course you don't have to agree. But in a place where aspiring artists give their stuff out for free at least have the common decency to talk about the artists and their work with a little respect.

[OCR00800 - Chrono Trigger "The Trial in Concert"]

I don't usually post reviews but I gotta say this thing is incredible. Even though I like to do the occasional piano stuff myself I couldn't even dream of doing anything like this... at least not without the years of effort that Spekk has spent harnessing his piano chi. It's nice to see people still practice the piano now and then, the results of such long term effort are apparent here. I don't think I'd be out of line in hoping for a similarly fantastic follow-up to this song =)

Kudos man, awesome, awesome work.
