I think this mix may end up joining the ranks of Pretzel's 'Sunken Suite' (Mario 64) and SuperGreenX's 'Frame of Mind' (Beyond Good & Evil) as a beautiful mix. I enjoyed the first two minutes immensely. Listening to them felt like being submerged in a vast oceanscape of bliss and beauty. To be honest, the middle felt a bit out of place, but I can't judge that since I haven't actually played this game. However, I feel this middle is necessary, as it acts as a transition and return to the oceanscape, incorporating all elements of the song into a shining whole. Overall, a very melodic and inspiring piece. Great job, DarkeSword.

Good god. I just heard this on the OC radio station, and slapped myself for never having discovered it before. This is the kind of song I'm going to end up playing again and again; during moments of extreme elation and happiness, to enhance those feelings, as the music itself is so joyful and symphonic. And during times of sorrow and pain, I will also slap it into the 'ole mp3 player, to remind myself that beauty still exists in the world. Very, very, very, extremely ultimately fantastically good job, Pretzel. This is easily and instantly one of my favorite OC mixes, ever. A truly stunning and beautiful piece. [/gushing praise]

I fucking love this song. I would even go so far as to agree that this is what OCR is all about--taking an original piece of music we loved in some way, and making it out own. Above all, what matters to me in this song is that it's obvious zyk0 and the gang had fun with this track. I mean, it's utterly overflowing with fun. I hope to see more hip hop themed remixes in the future.

I remember hearing this track some time ago on VGMix (which is what made me seek out other Rellik tracks here ), and utterly loving it. Very "protagonist runs away from everything down the street at the end of the movie, right before the credits roll," if that makes sense. It gives me a sense of a cinematic, epic, and emotional ending, but not so much as to distract from the beauty of the track. All said, this is certainly one of my favorite game mixes ever. Very good to finally see it on OC. This coming from someone who never could get very far in Earthbound.

Thank you for being the one person in the world who agrees with me on this. But Lost Memories is not too bad; a lot of the information it presents it more of a, "Oh, the sewer monsters are based on bad sushi Toyama had on his vacation to Canada in 1967," brand of useless fact. Still, it does get into depth sometimes, and I really don't like the idea of releasing something that basically amounts to, "SILENT HILL: THE EXPLANATION."

This mix is truly beautiful. I don't have a single negative thing to say about it, right now--I even love the decent-not-great sound quality; it makes it feel more, I don't know, real, somehow.

When this track opens, it reminds me more than a good deal of The Postal Service style electropop. Which is a pretty good thing as it is. As it progresses, it drifts further and further away from that style. So far, so good. I've been mulling this mix over all day, and I think I've finally found the words needed to describe it: This is no mere remix. This is the song as it was meant to be. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this is the song as it was intended to be by the original composer, but rather that I enjoyed this song far, far, far more than the original in-game song, which was rather bland, I felt. Instead of rehashing that same blandness, this song transcends its own original. And that's everything remixing is about to me. At first listen, I couldn't even make the original out, and I mean that as a compliment. This song stands on its own two feet much better than most remixes, game or otherwise, I've ever heard.
