  1. When I listen to this song I get the mental image of a soft, dark path with a shower of glass shards (nevermind, let's say gems since they're less sharp and cut-y) raining down, catching the light of some unseen light source and refracting it into the colors of the rainbow.

    I did not take LSD while listening to the song. It just rocks.

    Sadly I've never played Xenogears all the way through.

  2. most of the sounds at hammersound don't work :(:cry:

    They work, but the USA II and Canada mirrors are almost always down, or maybe they're just gone. Yeah...there are some on there I've never been able to get. I don't think that site is maintained anymore.

    Gecko, I think I can help you out with the Eddie Murphy laughter, actually. I have a copy of Beverly Hills Cop on DVD...it'll just take me a little while to rip that particular clip.

    edit: Eh...nevermind, my brother lent it to his friend.

  3. I really like this one. I recently downloaded most of the ReMixes on the site (just before the damned torrent file, too...), but I hadn't listened to this one yet because I'd never played Phantasy Star before.

    ranting

    Well, a week or so ago, I was at my boyfriend's house and we were playing it. It was on an emulator :( My initial reaction was "Holy f*** this kicks Nintendo's ass!" And so I've been playing it for the past week with a passion.

    Could someone please tell me how they made those dungeon tunnel things...? I still don't get it.

    So...with my hard drive beginning to get a bit cluttered, I decided to put all OCReMixes on 6 CDs. While organizing them, I was trying to decide which Mixes I should keep on my hard drive to listen to on a regular basis.

    Since I started playing Phantasy Star and never heard this Mix, I thought I'd better give it a go.

    /ranting

    Anyway, back to the actual 'review'...

    Generally, I'm not a fan of fun-kay music unless I'm watching 70s black-sploitation films, but wow this ReMix is an exception.

    Everything just seems to fit. The synth strings, e-piano, bass, the lead...thing all work really well together. Without hearing this mix, I'd never think those instruments could complement each other so well. I love the lead...whatever the heck it is...über-distorted guitar.

    The drums are just great. The percussion is really what makes the song as good as it is.

    Someone, maybe DJP in his write-up, said the mix was short. Perhaps in comparison with the rest of analoq's mixes it's short, but I think it's a good length for the song, personally. Erm...actually the "Medusa" VGM file is the exact same length as the mix, therefore it fits (<=corrupted Lauren logic) ^_^

    Plus, there would be too much repetition in the mix if it were any longer, unless a break were added in or somethin'.

    Hm...I don't quite think it's as particularly good as some of analoq's other work, though, since the mix gets a bit repetative after a while. I mean after several listenings, not one time around. 10 times repeatedly would be a bit much for me, but to each his own ^_^

    It doesn't lose its groove, though.

    I still have yet to play far enough into the game to hear where this music is, so I don't have an area association for the song yet...I have the VGMs, though. Am I mistaken, or is the intro supposed to resemble the "Cave" music? I know the actual song is the "Medusa" VGM, but I can't put my finger on the intro...

    Since my overall message is rather convoluted, I'll revert to the ol' ?/10 grading method.

    This mix is a 7.5/10

    The only downsides from my point of view are the ending and the repetative nature of the piece. Both of those things are probably a matter of my own tastes, though, since I can't really provide any reasoning to back up either statement. :?

  4. Any and all of the bosses out of Wizards & Warriors II: Ironsword for the NES.

    That game is so hard! I've spent many an hour in my youth in front of the TV trying to beat that damn cloud thing, but I never had the book to the game so I had no idea how.

  5. Absolutely awesome mix, especially considering the tools Ziwtra used. While the sound quality is lacking, I don't really find that it detracts from the song at all.

    As said before, a really mellow piece. Really nice for just lying around after a long day.

    Hm...I'm having trouble figuring out what the original song was, too. I've played through the game twice and I have the spcs, so it's really bugging me. ~_~

    Sounds great, though.
