Arcana Posted May 19, 2005 Posted May 19, 2005 This was the mix that first made me really notice OCRemix as a source of great music. This track, although a bit less aggressive than either of the contributors' other works, is still a solid march theme and really instills a strong sense of battle atmosphere. Nice work, Israfel and k-wix. Thank you for getting me into OCR! Quote
nikstar Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 being that I crave OB series remixes, I felt that it was a must to say how much this remix embodies what I am looking for. I have the arranged album Ogre - Grand Repeat and this song would easily rank among those arrangements. Beautiful job and excellent rendition, a must hear. Quote
EnriqueTDL Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 This is a suberb orchestra remix. As people have said before, it really points to OB's excellent OST. A must-hear for anyone who enjoys epic-sound mixes. Quote
Nec5 Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 It's pretty funny how this remains my favorite kwix song and my favorite Ogre Battle song. Future Ogre Battle games should do something like this. This mix has a grand vision and beautifully pulls it off. Good job, you two. Quote
Loning Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 This piece is literally one of the most amazing remixes I have ever heard. I think i've listened to this song too many times and it has lost some of its greatness over time, but I can still come back to it at any point in time and relive the wonderful arrangement that the both of you have put together. I think that there aren't anymore Ogre Battle remixes on this site for a reason...it's impossible to live up to the expectations that this remix has set the bar for. Quote
duane Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 This mix grabbed me by the face, demanding my attention. It tells a story, and does so in a deliberate and articulate manner. Good Show! Worthwhile. Quote
OceansAndrew Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Pretty exciting marcato string writing throughout, and the choir, while obviously synthetic, is pretty effective as well. Samples are actually holding up pretty well; this sounds like a nicely produced PS2 title. Arrangement is cool, and the modulation was placed just perfectly; the track needed something to keep things exciting, and it got it. Pretty epic stuff, I dig it. Quote
Marmiduke Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 One of a handful of mixes that got me to not just listen to mixes of music that I knew and actually explore new and unchartered waters. All these years later and I still haven't played or heard anything from Ogre Battle, but I nevertheless love this mix. The samples are nowhere near the level of quality I remember, but it would be crazy to expect anything different. Regardless, they still sound decent enough, with the strings and choir faring a little better than the brass. Overall, the sound package is pleasant to listen to. The one thing that surprised me was how safe the arrangement was; something I'd never picked up on before. It does veer into a routine later in the mix and whereas the bridge is quite excellent, it didn't satisfy my want for this to be a little more expansive. So it's not as groundshaking and adrenalised as I seem to remember, but much has changed with myself and the mixing scene since then, so I'm okay with the contrast. This is still a very fine orchestral mix and will always have a positive place in my musical memory. It will also be a constant reminder to getting around to playing Ogre Battle one of these years!

swansdown Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Inspired! Powerful I'd gladly replace the source with this piece. I like the humming (or quiet choir?) you've got at 1:17. It's good contrast with the more prominent choir at 1:58. Quote
