  1. By the way Double A Ron XP I belive you meant to say that Don Davis did the music for the matrix.

    I'm pretty sure it was Rob Dugan. Anyway, as for the remix...like most people, I felt the kick was -- at best -- a bit out of place here. Other then that, I like it a lot. The "swing section" was the highlight of originality for me. I also like the exiting bells, but I couldn't pick up on any dogs barcking in the background... :( Well done. :)

  2. No offense to zyko, but I felt the guitar solos at 2:09 and 4:10 were completely out of place. The off-beat rhythm and generall overkill style of playing did not jive with the rest of the piece at all.

    Apparently people don't recognize a good guitar when they hear it, and apparently I'm going to be a major dissenter on the issue, but I'd argue that the introduction of said guitar at 2'09 is what makes this track work so well. It's called juxtaposition, people! Taking two things dissimilar in nature (viola/elec. guitar) and putting them side-by-side to highlight the contrast. IMHO, it works EXTREAMLY well here. The result? One of the greatest remixes on OCR to date. The vocals were just awesome as well. They conjur up images of an Elvin princess singing to herself in the woods, or something to that effect... 10/10, easily. :)

  3. Overall, I like it. That said, I would give some SERIOUS thought to an all-acoustic remix of this track. The first 30 seconds are, by far, the best -- after that I find myself losing interest.

    The brevity of the track alone makes me able to finish it...that's not a bash, b/c I feel a great job was done given the genre/instramentation selection. I am, however, begging -- no, PLEADING the remixer to post an all-acoustic version!

  4. I like it. From a purely musical standpoint, it may be somewhat lacking, (i.e, procussion & ending) but I dig the bassline. To me, a good bassline is the key to a good song...the quality of any (modern) tune can be boliled down to the funkadelic groove of a good base, which this remix has in spades (note 1'57, and again at 3'03.) It may not change structurally, but does it really need to? I think not. This remix gets my foot a-tapping and my head a-bobbin, and frankly, that's good enough for me.

  5. The source material lends itself well to a jazz version, and Vig has pulled it off extreamly well. If this is any indication of the quality of the rest of the project, I'm on the edge of my seat! A highlight for me has to be the intro of the guitar at around 3'05 (although I'm not quite sure what that "hissing" noise is in the background...) Anyway, I also thought the snipit of the Zelda Theme was interesting, and made me smile. :) Great work, I can't wait to hear more...

  6. Hello everyone. I'm Tyler, and I've been addicted to this site for some time now.

    Chorus: Hello Tyler.

    I'm a lifelong and avid gamer from the Northwest, and I just felt it was time I start contributing to this site in a siginificant way. I'm a sophomore in college working toward a degree in journalism, but my true passions are music and gaming. I guess this site fits me perfectly. After hearing some remixes for the first time, I said to myself, "man, I wanna be able to do THAT!" (goat's Purple Heart, etc. :) ) So I've recently been toying around with Reason and FL, but to be honest, I'm confused as hell and have NO IDEA how music of such high caliber is produced from said software. I suppose it'll come in time...if anyone is willing to work with an extreme newbie, feel free to IM me or drop me a line (or I suppose you could just reply on this thred...)

    Anyway, that's me.

  7. BTW, I never actually finished going through the Monster Arena, (I borrowed the game from my roomate and the semester ended...we all went our seperate ways) so I'm sure there are some even more difficult bosses after Earth Eater, but that's the toughest one I faced.

    *end transmission*

  8. The Earth Eater, found in the Monster Arena in FFX. I'm not sure about all-time toughest, but that bastard definatly ranks up there on my list. Magaton Punch (instant death) as a counter for any physical attacks...I had to level-up for about three straight hours before I could sufficiantly beat him down.

    Ugly little bugger, too...
