OCR01406 - Star Fox 2 "Mercenarios de Lobo"
yoshi1001 replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
It was a game in developent for the SNES. More of the story is in the mix's blurb. -
OCR01399 - Mega Man "Electrolytic Man"
yoshi1001 replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Kinda reminds me of the similarities between the level 1 theme from SMW2 and Bitter Tears by INXS. Very nice. Every so often I try to look at a song outside my main focus and this one is very good. -
OCR01287 - Fire Emblem "Etude for Piano in F# minor"
yoshi1001 replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Very nice. I wish I were more familiar with the original work so I could give better commentary, but strictly from a blind listening, the remixer made very good use of the piano dynamics and tempo. -
OCR01278 - Super Street Fighter II "Fei Longer"
yoshi1001 replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Mine plays with a gap in the sound around 2:00. Is that normal? Otherwise, I'd actually like to hear this one played a touch faster. -
OCR01266 - Street Fighter II "The Ken Song"
yoshi1001 replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Jivemaster, Elle MacPherson, Priscilla: Queen of the Desert.... SNAP I'd almost give them Foster's, too, or at least the amusing advertisements. Really anthematic mix - just reiterating my appreciation. Don't forget INXS-they did a Pokemon song back in 1987. I didn't even read the review first (I prefer to let the music speak) so I was surprised when the lyrics came in. Very nice. -
OCR01262 - Super Mario World "Ghost"
yoshi1001 replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Definite add to the station. I could see this being used in the escape scene of a movie. -
OCR01252 - Super Mario 64 "The Alternate Route"
yoshi1001 replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This would have to be my criticism as well-that was the best part of the song and to have it cut out just sounds flat. -
OCR01230 - Street Fighter II "Ryu for Four Pianos"
yoshi1001 replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Every so often, it's nice to hear a song that's not synthesized, homogenized, and moderized. It would be neat to see the parts decomposed, however. -
OCR01226 - Chrono Trigger "Rhodes to the Past"
yoshi1001 replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I've been looking for some new OC to put on my station, and this is it. Keep up the good work. -
OCR01208 - Legend of Zelda "Eutopia Pegasi"
yoshi1001 replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Very interesting take on the theme. Kinda like soething you would hear a botanical garden. It would be interesting to have OC take all the main Zelda theme remixes and compare and contrast them. On another note, the review noted how people take a simple theme and make it complex. Anyone ever thought about doing the reverse? Kinda ringtony, but it might work. -
OCR01176 - Ice Climber "Snow Cone Heaven"
yoshi1001 replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Kinda got that "Walking down the street" feel. -
OCR01183 - Donkey Kong Country 2 "KRool Intentions"
yoshi1001 replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Man, maybe the the new site design just makes the music sound better...nah. This again falls into the, "never played (that part of) the game but the remix kicks butt" category. -
OCR01130 - Final Fantasy VI "Squaresoft Variation"
yoshi1001 replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Every so often, I feel compelled to look at a mix to a game I've never even played. This is one such occasion (I know, I really should play it). As far as orchestral mixes go, this is clearly one of the best technically. I could see this as the opening credits to a movie. That being said, I would have liked to hear more, perhaps a full movement with some other themes thrown in. -
OCR01125 - Astérix (NES) "Niggaz 4 Life"
yoshi1001 replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Maybe, but you don't go to Nigeria and start calling people that. And actually the name only arose because that's where many slaves came from. It's not music (well, the choruses are, but the main part isn't). Music involves actually changing notes. Rap is rhythmic poetry. I've heard better-much better-in terms of rap and remixes. -
OCR01125 - Astérix (NES) "Niggaz 4 Life"
yoshi1001 replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
In my view there have always been two types of controversy: Controversy with a purpose and without. The former can be thought-provoking, infomative, etc. while the latter is just pointless. This is the latter. Now, I'll admit, I don't like rap that much (it's more fun to do than listen to), but really, there's no reason for the N-word to be used in this song-it doesn't accomplish anything, it doesn't add anything, it's just there. That being said, the remix itself is kinda so-so, although it's one of the better rap "songs" I've heard. And it was nice to hear some vocals in a Remix for once. However, I think the effort could be better applied. By the way, I like to interpet swear words in terms of what they really mean. So, um, what do African-American slaves have to do with this song?
