  1. Eeek, there could be some remastering work done here. I hear minor clipping (Not good, definitely in this genre). I would have to say that the arrangement itself is really quite nice. However, those low-quality sounding bells that travel their way throughout the entire song really get annoying. Encoding could have been much better as it sounds as if the hi-ends have been cut out entirely.

    NO

  2. Ugh, this mix is just WAY too repetitive.

    My head can't take it.

    The mix itself just feels too empty and doesn't flow nicely. The transitions between sections are sub-par (perhaps it's just me, but the percussion doesn't accentuate very well). It could really use some work. I have to admit that the ending surprised me. Either way...

    NO

  3. Sometimes I wish I was a Mega Man fan? Why? Music like this.

    I totally dig the intro. Very smooth with the strings and piano. It builds into a trancy arrangement which jumps out of its trance state back into the smooth string/piano arrangement I love. Then, the two are combined. It's pretty damn nice. It just gets better and better as it builds up. Excellent stuff from Ryu7x. Too bad he's not going to be ReMixing for a while :(

    YES

  4. Stale and lifeless as they come. I think besides what the others have already said, that panning must be used. Everything is panned down the center. This calls for exponential lifelessness of a creation. Furthermore, the mix is just much too simplistic as the others have already mentioned.

    NO

  5. Kirbz spelled "Nobuo Uematsu" as "Nubuo Uematsu" in the ID3v2 tags, thus incorrectly representing the original composer's name.

    Now, to the mix - The mix itself lacks dynamics as Malcos and Orkybash have mentioned. Reverb and definitely some panning are absolutely necessary. Other than that, the arrangement is quite good. However...

    NO

  6. I like something out of the norm once in a while. This is a fantastic example. Though...

    The main focus of this mix is the percussion. I'm assuming that drumloops are used, as it sure as hell sounds like it. As we know, drumloops are frowned upon unless used for the benefit of everyone, to put it nicely. However, the remaining components of the arrangement are weak (and the crackling is annoying). The found the mix overall to be unappealing. Same repeating melody over and over and over and over and over.

    NO

  7. The arrangement itself sounds unique to me as some unconventional sounds are used. Personally, I find the drums in the quieter parts to lack a certain integrity much needed to make this mix make the break. They simply don't fit with the other, more dynamic, instruments. In the heavier parts, I find the überheavily-panned noise to be really quite unpleasant. The mastering really needs some week - the lower frequencies seem to be astray. Perhaps add a bass guitar in the heavy parts to complement the other instruments. I think it'd help tremendously. Other than that, I find myself to find the the instrumentation to be almost unprecedented.

    NO
