Crono3of3time Posted April 30, 2003 Posted April 30, 2003 Well I was feelin kinda down untill I heard this remix!! Man, did that ever put some zip in my step!! Ooohh a nostalgiac blend of FF music, peppy beat, and it came just at the right time also! Ah!! I was a bit down before because I'm behind in my schoolworkz... (sigh...) but now.. I think I can manage it. Thanks For The Great Remix!! Quote
Lucan Posted April 30, 2003 Posted April 30, 2003 Fine piece of art! Was an interesting twist to turn Kefka´s Theme into a Samba-Remix - interesting, and well worth the download, though - IMO - there could have been more fills (drums etc.) or breaks/turns in the song. But nonetheless a well-worked-out remix. Quote
Paco Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 Great job Noppz. Excellent stuff... very upbeat and lively. Keep it up. Quote
sgx Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 Very very tight. Very original and different. Diggin it. Quote
Temporal Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 Clearly, a lot of people love this mix, so the following is only my own personal opinion based on my own music tastes: I hate this mix! It's horrible! It causes pain in my head! It's almost as bad as the April fools mixes! AAAAAAHHHHHHH! hehe, don't take it wrong, NoppZ. You can't please everybody. And to whoever said they can't hear Kefka's theme in here: get your ears checked. Quote
neostormx Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 I enjoyed this remix, but i have some gripes with it. When i first heard it i thought it was going to be samba/house, because of the synthetic sound but it wasnt. the beat never really developed from there. This would have been much better if it was live/organic, but since it sounds synthetic it almost gives it a midi feeling. I just think, if it sounds synthetic, it would have been much better as samba/house. Its still a good job though, and a very cool idea. (although i would have chose from a mega man theme for this genre) Quote
Rodin Posted May 3, 2003 Posted May 3, 2003 Pretty nice remix Overall enjoyable. One thing though....I think the name should be changed to "Kefka hits the Riviera!" Nice change of pace! Quote
AgentRdy Posted May 3, 2003 Posted May 3, 2003 ::Drools while listening:: The piano rocks incredibly. Wow... this actually makes me want to dance. Unable....to...find...words...to...express... excellence of song... Quote
Scrapmetal Simon Posted May 4, 2003 Posted May 4, 2003 holy [FECAL MATTER]-stix!! This song is ri-[GOSH DARN]-diculous!!! I'm gonna need new PANTS!!! Immediately after hearing this sweet ditty, I passed out from sugar shock because this track was so [HAVING SEX]-ing sweet!!! After I graduate with my degree, I'm going to donate money to Noppz instead of my University. Quote
Rapyer2986 Posted May 4, 2003 Posted May 4, 2003 Kefka with cotton candy at an amusement park is how I describe this jingling melody. It's so happy and fun-filled! Dancing in my seat with this mix!! Quote
AnotherOneBitesTheDust Posted May 5, 2003 Posted May 5, 2003 I agree on the samples being rather loud/MIDI. I haven't noticed bad samples in a NoppZ mix yet (not even in The Endless Search), but they detract from what would be a great arrangement. I'll still listen to it, though. It's as if I want it to sound better with each listen. Quote
OverCoat Posted May 7, 2003 Posted May 7, 2003 Who cares if the samples suck? it's arranged well, and as much as I am hesitant to admit it, I was gettin' my groove on! Nice work, NoppZ! Quote
Thorny_Elements Posted May 18, 2003 Posted May 18, 2003 IMO The "bad" samples give it a different feel than if it had high-quality samples. I mean, I have no gripes about the samples as they are now. The song has a fun feel to it that the samples kinda add to. It wouldn't sound right with high-quality samples. It's a great song. Quote
ZenDadaist Posted May 28, 2003 Posted May 28, 2003 Fun and catchy salsa-and-chips! This gets my vote. Quote
Thorny_Elements Posted June 1, 2003 Posted June 1, 2003 edit: i just posted this in the wrong thing... oops Quote
Ashgad Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 I think "infectious" is the best word to describe this mix. But then, "awesome" would suffice as well. Either way, I love it . Just can't seem to keep my toe from tapping while it's playing... Quote
The Berserk Fury Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 you silly billy this is great in mymind this is way better than kefka goes west are you going to make any more remiexes of kefkas theme Quote
oldtimer Posted June 22, 2003 Posted June 22, 2003 I'm no expert, but I know enough about music to state that this song doesn't deserve the rave reviews it's getting. I'll come right out and say it: the samples SUCK! Unless your making a house song, stay away from synthetic claps! Please! Boo hoo. It's not the samples that make this song. It's the great arranging. Sorry, we can't all own GigaStudio. Quote
Frictional Antidote Posted June 22, 2003 Posted June 22, 2003 it's funny how many people are taking the extremes with this song. Most people enjoy it or are disgusted with it. I personally feel that the song is awesome. Just last night I took some salsa dance lessons and the song is soo perfect for dancing to. Really this song is very well made. I only wish that there were more latin styled songs on OCR. In any case, well done and keep up the good work. Quote
RedTigrr Posted June 23, 2003 Posted June 23, 2003 I gotta say, I thought this was a fun remix to listen to. I know some people that actually lived through many a Carnivale and they couldn't help but tap their feet and dance to this. This along with Aeris' Theme Samba remix are a couple of my favorites from OC. I'd actually like to hear more songs remixed in this style or even a Dancehall/Raggae beat. Quote

To add to that list for good songs to Salsa off of: FF7 Aeris Summer Samba Remix FF7 Fantastico Chocobo MegaMan 3 Gemini Salsa Remix MegaMan 3 Needles OC Remix If I could salsa, I'd definitely be dancing off of these songs as well.

Atomic Dog Posted July 26, 2003 Posted July 26, 2003 You know.... once it gets started... this is actually a pretty golly gosh darn good song! The first 30 seconds are just garbage.... but it's like a twinky. If you can get past the icky yellow exterior, that gooey middle is just pure pleasure. This IS a good song. It makes me dance about my apartment in my underwear - and that's always a good sign (don't tell anyone). I like it. She's a keeper. Quote
Dectilon Posted March 20, 2004 Posted March 20, 2004 This is what I'm talking about! This is a ReMiX! Instead of being a ruined piece or something other than the piece in question this manages to make a new song out of the old, without the trademark dissonance that remixes often suffers, and still retain the feeling of the old tune. Simply the best! Quote
