Escariot Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I heard this track a while ago, glad to see ToN got himself posted! Congrats, guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bustatunez Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Nice job guys! I like the dynamics especially, how it doesn't stay at one intensity the whole time but switches things up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V___ Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 ToN doesn't deserve any recognition til he forfils his promise of a free full length album (had to get the album promise on record). Great collab guys, the track has really nice energy. To future remixes, and ToNs new OCR celebrity status! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HitoriJaNai Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 To say that this mix is epic is an epic understatement in and of its epicness. Awesome job, ToN, and also Sixto, for making my day a very rocking one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thompson Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Sheesh, this mix rocks my socks. I love the touch on sid in the mix. Both remixers' influence on this can be heard, I think, and they're both brilliant. Excellent composition and production and all around great package.

SwordBreaker Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 This is kind of freaky. I discovered how awesome Romancing Saga's soundtrack is just a couple of days ago...and upon listening to tracks like "Passionate Rhythm" and "Prelude to Battle", I thought how awesome would those be if Sixto remixed them. Even though it's not the source tune I wanted, glad someone actually tackled this niche soundtrack for once. I can't recognize the source, but I'm loving the remix. Guitars rock as usual, and ToN has a really cool style. Love that chiptune-y part with the guitars. Still think someone should tackle those tracks I mentioned.

maniacodepressif Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Well, I don't really know the music from romancing saga much...but I also listen to sweet VG music when I sleep This tune is quite good, the sound is simply awesome. I wish I could get a sound half has good sounding then this, then I might be open enough to post some remixes here. But whatever I do, it always sounds like shit cos I couldn't do a good mix even if the universe depended on it lol. Very good song! The base chords of the song isn't something I never heard before (I never heard the original) but the song is so well crafted and sounds great, so it's enjoyable all the way.

avaris Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Great chords dudes. Love the combo of chiptunes and guitar wankery. Congrats ToN on the 1st mix, and the DP u guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anosou Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 HI THERE DUSTIN AND WELCOME TO OCR I missed you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtlbro Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I start listening and I love the beautiful first 20 seconds, nice strings and reverbed pizz. But you know what? The synth/drum/guitar kicks in very effectively(I pissed myself) and I don't even miss the pretty pad intro 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Downunder Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 It's one in the morning over here, just got off work 'bout an hour ago, so I thought I'd check the site for anything new. , I think I won't be getting to sleep anytime soon now. I absolutely love, love, LOVE the guitar/chiptune action when it kicks to high gear. Congrats on your first remix ToN. Hoping your future here will be a bright one... Now if you'll excuse me...

DramaNoMore Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I know this is nitpicking, but at the very beginning, the sound pops into existence in a kind of wierd manner. A fade-in would be more appropriate. But what matters is that this mix beats the living hell out of me! HOLY SH... err... Well done, guys.

The Scar in the Twilight Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Yeah, ToN! Way to kick ass!! Just wanted to say congratulations (from me and Ms. Abbyface!!) on your first posted remix! Thanks for introducing me to the community and I'm really excited for you!

Rokin2Mordor Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Do you know how it feels to have a large and heavy object slam into your midsection and take your breath away? That certain sensation of having the air knocked out of you and the sudden realization that everything in your abdominal region is now ablaze in pain? That's something like what I get out of this song. (Without the pain, of course.) This mix is akin to getting woken up with near-freezing water, then dashed over white-hot coals, and plunged into a bath of lemon juice and salt. It's a bit bracing to me, not at all what I'm used to or would find pleasing to my ears… …but musically speaking, it's brilliant. I personally would have used a title like "Oh Shit, I Lost my Loli" just to for fun of it and because I love juxtaposition… …but that's just me.

LuigiFan Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 After I picked myself up off the floor, I then proceeded to have my world rocked. This is an amazing mix. Seriously. The n00bs this year really have an ear for arrangement, and ToN is no exception. Combined with the awesomeness-incarnate that is Sixto, you have yourself a solidly incredible mix. This is wonderful. I'm running out of adjectives to describe just how super this is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleJCrb Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 The chiptune/guitar intro sounds very similar to the style of Machinae Supremacy. In fact, the whole song has that feel, which is a very good thing. I like it a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project R2K Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Awesome! Kick ass kudos to the both of yoos! Love the part at 0:24, sounds like guitars on a sugar binge. And at 2:33, always love a good synth solo. This is one hell of a first sub. I don't know how you're going to surpass it, but good luck with that. Welcome to the fold, Theory of Nonexistence. (Or as you shall now be known, ToN. As in... ToN of fun! Oh god, that was terrible. Don't look at me!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relyanCe Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Holy crap... That was four and a half minutes of pure awesome. Now if you don't mind, I'm gonna go piece my ears back together... Sixto, keep rockin! Theory of Nonexistence, thanks for the sick addition to OCR! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrull Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Really really like this song! Awesome job, the both of you. Love the initial guitar/chiptune assault. It's funny how the "Squareness" shows through at times, a couple melodies in there really reminded me of Chrono Trigger. Never actually played Romance SaGa.

Dafydd Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Darn it, I'm have a wip with nes arps in it. Now I'm gonna look like I got the idea from you. Seriously though, this is really awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UchihaVilu Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 You were totally right on, with that half-awake thought for this song. The guitar/chiptune really kicks some major ass. Song overall is an awesome composition, my only "if" thing for this would be, I think the snares need to be slightly more pronounced when doing the drum roll. 3:10 - 3:21 Like hit harder, they sounds like dropping sycn'd jelly beans being dropped onto catgut/canvas. This is a great piece, to a game i've never played (sadly). Looking forward to hearing more from 'Theory of Nonexistence', Sixto is good as always. Edit** -- This song definitely shows the 'Squareness' and resembles 'The Black Mages' in a lot of ways. Good job, great job for teh ear weapons... (now if i can manage to sync macro and mouse clicks to the beat) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirby Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 It started out meh, but quickly escalated to pure epicity! Great job, both of you! I didn't even know it was Sixto until after I listened to it and read the review by DJP there. Awesome job! 5 stars out of 10 points; so awesome the scoring systems got mixed up!

Palpable Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Whoa wall of sound intro. I was transfixed by it. Amazing texture there, the stop-start guitar with the relentless chiptune leads. I was very happy to see that make another cameo near the end. The rest of the song isn't quite as stunning, but still, great writing and production throughout. I really like this one, guys!
