OCRA-0013 - Tales: Summoning of Spirits
metaphist replied to KyleJCrb's topic in Album Reviews & Comments
My favorite track so far is Horizon's Walk by Prizm and Tepid. Mad props to them, and to the staff and musicians for one epic album! -
OCR01801 - Ragnarök Online "Brazzy Road"
metaphist replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I've been listening to this hardcore for a while now. Very fun and energetic. -
OCR01860 - Little Nemo "Sunshine Through My Window"
metaphist replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I've been trying to get a mix posted for a long time, so all the "about times" I've been reading are pretty legit Thanks a lot you guys, for all the support given over the years (especially you, Monobrow). The motivation to get on OCR was the sole thing driving my musical evolution in the past, so I'm feelin' pretty good right now! I was actually shocked to see this posted. There was a minor clipping issue that I was helpless to solve since I lost my samples after making this song, and it was the one stipulation the judges gave along with it's acceptance. I told them It probably wouldn't get fixed for obvious reasons, so I really had no idea what they intended to do. And then I checked the site today... @prophet Couldn't really tell ya exactly what I used in the intro pad's. It was a combination of a few simple pads, with most of the flourishes hand programmed from other samples. Glad everyone liked it though! -
OCR01855 - Mega Man 2 "The Wily Malfunction"
metaphist replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
So I'm listening to this mix in a rainstorm, and at the beginning I'm thinking there something wrong with my speakers, what with the intro mixed with some lightning and thunder outside. As things crunched on, I remember the title of the mix, and then I knew - I was in for it The thing I like about Maze is that no matter how diverse his catalog gets, you can always identify his style in anything he does. He's truly the poster boy, er, dude, for OCR. Awesome write up btw, DJP. Usually I chuckle once during your reviews, but I think I came out with an astounding two chuckles this run-through. But seriously, I love reading your stuff One of my motivations for getting a mix posted was just to see what you'd have to say about it! Haven't done that yet, having straying from music lately, but with amazing stuff like this from Mazedude, I know I'll be motivated to come back eventually. -
I really digged being a bit disoriented during the onset, and slowly settling in to the pulsating groove. Fun to listen to, and Anso was right in that he beautifully caught the mood here. It has a certain deep ebb and flow reminiscent of the mysterious depths, with a that high end sparkle inviting us back towards the surface like rays of light amongst the waves. Feelin' it, Anso.

OCR01816 - Mega Man 3 "Magnet Missiles"
metaphist replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
It has a very Jun Senoue vibe to it. Very fun mix, I love it! -
OCR01836 - Chrono Trigger "Corrupter of Time"
metaphist replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Damn. This just might be my favorite CoT on the site now! It never even crossed my mind to hear this in rock form. I was super impressed with the interpretation, and the execution is just madness. If there is one thing I love, it's genre-bending, and this mix delivers effortlessly in that department. reMixes that hit me this hard don't come along often. Definitely in my top 20, sitewide. Maybe even top 10. Looks like I'll have to revisit my working list -
God I loved Skate or Die! This remix fits the game very well stylistically. I haven't even layed eyes on the game, let alone heard it's music, in at least 15 years, so I was ecstatic to see this remix pop up. The title sounds strangely familiar, too... It indeed brought a smile to my face. Thank you, norg!

OCR01760 - Super Mario World "Turning Terrors"
metaphist replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Somehow missed this, but got back to it through your latest submission from FF6. Another gem, your style is really solidifying itself with each mix. Reminds me of Mazedude (a good thing!). Plus he liked it, too And I really like Martin's description of "crunchy" lol. AeroZ-crunch is the breakfast of champions, I say. -
OCR01831 - Final Fantasy VI "Inspector Strago"
metaphist replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Wow, AeroZ just killed it from the intro on through (ridiculous intro, btw, what are the voices from?). After Green Lane Avenue and now this, your fast becoming one of my favorites, man. Keep it up! And why the crap hasn't anyone else commented on this? It's been in my rotation, #1 spot since it came out. -
FINALLY! I was blown away when I first heard this. I couldn't stop smiling the whole track through! I couldn't believe anyone would pull something like this off with flying colors. I was WIP'ing this for a long time, waiting for the writeup to see how it would fly. I pratically promised myself I'd disown OCR if they didn't pass this master piece. I'm glad to see they came through Amazing on many levels, this is music in it's purest form, my friend: the drum. Definitely makes the top 10 most memorable remixes on the site.

OCR01764 - Goemon’s Great Adventure "Kabuki Frogs"
metaphist replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
The game itself has a ridiculous soundtrack, and this mix does it justice. Listened to it three times in a row, I did. Too much funk for ya soul! -
OCR01807 - Chrono Trigger "Close Door All Way"
metaphist replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This is currently at the top of my rotation. I love the hi-hat work in the first sections. And the beat is so hard...Salzman's the man. -
Protricity - Congregation of the Fallen?
metaphist replied to metaphist's topic in General Discussion
I officially love you. Thanks a bunch. -
Can anyone get me this track? I've been googling the balls out of it and just can't seem to track it down. I believe I found it on vgmix way back in the day, but somehow lost it since then.

OCR01762 - Final Fantasy VI "Terra Haute"
metaphist replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Seconded. This is the funkiest thing on the site hands down (sorry DJP lol). Shame on OCR for only 2 pages of comments... -
OCR01787 - Romancing SaGa (PS2) "Tant Mieux"
metaphist replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This is sick. It has a very 'final battle' feel to it. Way to kick it off right, ToN! -
OCR01771 - Super Hang-On "Burn, Baby, Burn!"
metaphist replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Wow, man. Loved every second! The spirit of this really reminded me of Grandia II's battle theme. It's that pure retro awesome, I tell's ya! -
OCR01770 - Super Metroid "Samus Bubblebath"
metaphist replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I think Shnabubula just won the presidential election, people. -
OCR01720 - Ragnarök Online "Hamadatan"
metaphist replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I swear I heard pieces of Kirby Superstar and Mega Man thrown in during the middle sections. Someone back me up here! For the record, I've never listened to Ragnarok's soundtrack, so... Dopeness all around, though. -
Kirby's Dream Land 'Castle Lololo'
metaphist replied to metaphist's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
Mono! Long time no see, eh? Thanks for the suggestions. I usually don't get this much feedback this early in the game, so I'm actually pretty excited to make this a lot better. I'm already working on some more interesting sounds, and the suggestions are inspiring. Thanks guys. -
OCR01727 - Mega Man X3 "Revolutions"
metaphist replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
By far my favorite Beatdrop track...I can't keep it off repeat
