OCR01246 - Secret of Evermore "Anachronism"
Kaleb.G replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Okay, I'm off to check those out. UPDATE: Okay, Icewind Dale is decent at best. There's only maybe a few memorable melodies in that whole thing. SoE knocks the socks off that shit. Are you just in it for the orchestration? Any shmoe can do that, and you can't "remix" orchestration. I'm going to check out some of his other stuff like Neverwinter Nights. I know the man can orchestrate, but I want him to wow me with his melodies like he did in SoE. -
OCR01250 - Secret of Mana "Tidal Sequence"
Kaleb.G replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
While the style isn't much to my liking, the melodic arrangement and use of instruments is very well done. Nice work! -
OCR01246 - Secret of Evermore "Anachronism"
Kaleb.G replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
A simply AWESOME piano mix of a couple great SoE tunes. It's Hamauzu meets Soule! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What the hell are you smoking? Because I want you to destroy it all now. Seriously though, what do you think Soule's best work is? -
Tracks I'd like to hear squeezed in if anyone's still interested, in order of preference: 31/32 43/44 7 16 51/52 46 36 There's your constructive criticism. P.S. I'm offering server space/bandwidth as well. Anyone can contact me (AIM, PM, E-mail) if they want me to host something. P.P.S. If you really needed artwork, I have experience...

The track listing is looking good so far, eventhough there would be a few trackselections that I would have liked to see in there. Good jorb, Homesword! Perhaps you could do something like Digital Coma where multiple remixers could present tracks for a slot, and the majority vote decides which one gets in. Seeing as how there are many mixers reaching for slots, and we don't want to end up with anything sub-par... (not to be mean)

Damn, Suzumebachi, that WIP is awesome! Keep it up, and make it even longer! P.S. I agree with Shariq, we don't need Green Greens. EDIT 2: If Adhesive Boy wanted to really remix Rainbow Resort, maybe he could collab with Suzu, or you could make the song into two parts, with Suzu and Adhesive each doing a part. I agree that "Dream Hunter" is quite fitting.

As long as you remix Rainbow Resort, I'm satisfied.

OCR01226 - Chrono Trigger "Rhodes to the Past"
Kaleb.G replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Personally, I find this remix to be awesome. I just really like the way it sounds (the instruments as well as the original bits of melody are what really do it for me). I admit, for the most part, this kinda sounds like a cover, but enough is done with the supporting (harmonic) instruments during the mix to keep things fresh. And as stated before, the original bits of melody at the beginning and end sound great and help enhance the original piece. If I had a choice of only being able to listen to this remix or the original song for the rest of my life, I would go with this remix. It's damn good, and one of my favorite remixes of the year. -
I went to check this one out, only to realize I may have started the whole thing. Hahaha! I wasn't trying to be offensive, but it is what it is. But anyway, back to the VGM pimping, I may be starting a "Song of the Week" feature over at GFF, and I may tie it into OCR somehow, as well as recommend some hot new releases (and old classics) from the Land of the Rising Sun. So I'll be planning this; and you can believe samples will be available!

True, but I wasn't talking about the show. That's fine as is; maybe just a little forum post section like he has going on in this thread. Then again, I could start that myself if I wanted to.

You must have missed the part where I said "as in, from actual games". I'm not talking about orginal music from people here in the community; I'm talking about VIDEO GAME MUSIC (the real deal, from professional composers). The stuff still gets made, you know. I know this is a remixing community, but think about it. What good is a remixing community without fresh new material to remix, eh?

Congrats on the Judging position, Larry! I didn't even know you still continued to update this thread. I kinda feel out of the loop a few months ago. No offense, but I was getting pretty tired of remix after remix, and thus I left to focus on listening to some new original VG Music, which is goddamn refreshing. I've been kinda keeping up on the latest stuff from OCR and VGMix, but I'll have to start using your guide more often. Hey, if you ever want to have a spotlight for good original VG Music (as in, from actual games), let me know. I've got the stuff covered tenfold. Take care. P.S. When VG Frequency comes back, count me in.

OCR01218 - Guardian Legend "Red Spiders"
Kaleb.G replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Very good stuff here! A lot of it reminds me of the type of sound in Ratchet & Clank 2 (which has an awesome soundtrack, GET IT NOW!). I wish this song were longer! -
OCR01215 - Lost Patrol "In the Air Mix"
Kaleb.G replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
When I first heard it I was like "Phil Collins did an OCRemix?" Yeah it does sound like Phil Collins. Hehe, but it's also a lot Krazy Komets like. Good stuff. -
OCR01208 - Legend of Zelda "Eutopia Pegasi"
Kaleb.G replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This mix is awesome! Anyway, is it just me, or does the melody around 2:15-2:30 sound like that of "It's Difficult to Stand on Both Feet, Isn't It?" from FFVII around 1:08-1:30? I tried to think of what more closely matched it, but that's the best I can do at this moment. -
OCR01206 - Little Nemo "Nightmare King's Dream"
Kaleb.G replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This is awesome! I love everything about it. The instruments, the melody, and the overall feel. This remix sounds like really good video game music, and that's why I like it so much. I MUST hear more! P.S. Do you have a higher quality MP3 of this song available? -
OCR01203 - Adventure Island "Tribal Warfare"
Kaleb.G replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Great work here! However, the lack of a prominant melody didn't make it something I'd hold on to. That's just me. It's still very well made. -
OCR01202 - Zombies Ate My Neighbors "Neighburgers"
Kaleb.G replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
You know, melody-wise, this song reminds me of something Tim Follin might do with this song. The lengthy but always interesting progression in this remix, reminds me of his Plok soundtrack. Awesome stuff right here. -
OCR00899 - Final Fantasy VI "Dancing Madly (First Form)"
Kaleb.G replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Both this song and the second part are Awesome! For anybody who wants the rest, go here: http://www.atlantisvalley.com/casey/songs/ -
OCR01189 - Beyond Good & Evil "Frame of Mind"
Kaleb.G replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
While I didn't care for the soundtrack as a whole, the songs chosen for this remix are are great (definately the best ones from the game). The game was also great; I bought it for GameCube about two months ago. Anyway, this remix has a lot to offer. Good work SGX and friends! -
OCR01154 - Linus Spacehead "Space Drifter"
Kaleb.G replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
What the heck, that makes about as much sense as "Eat my shorts" but is far more unsettling. Yeah, it's probably the equivelent of a "tossed salad" (even though this latter term makes even less sense). Erm. Anyway, I don't see why one saxaphone sample makes this sound the same as Angel. With that reasoning, I guess every rock or metal song sounds the same too, as they all use guitars. -
OCR00143 - Mega Man 2 "Bubble Man (Electron Mix)"
Kaleb.G replied to Jivemaster's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Hahaha, this is SUCH a midi rip. It doesn't sound bad, but even I could make one of these. -
OCR01125 - Astérix (NES) "Niggaz 4 Life"
Kaleb.G replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I didn't even know zyko was black. I could have swore I saw a picture of him (in which the person was white). Maybe I was mistakening him for somebody else (perhaps a person he collaborated with). Anyway, I'm not a rap fan, so this doesn't do much for me personally. But that aside, this is a fun, well-made rap track, and I'm glad zyko & ubik had the cojones to post this mix despite all these people who think they're the experts on how the "N-word" or its variations should be (or rather should not be) used. Great work, guys!
