Lucentas Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Pot Hocket is one of those ReMixers whose work I'm pretty much guaranteed to love. Even if, for his next piece, he employed a chainsaw ensemble with jackhammer backup and the best "dying cat" samples he could find, I'd probably still put it on my playlist out of sheer, mindless adoration. Well, okay, maybe I was exaggerating just a bit. But Pot Hocket is still awesome, and this mix is still beautiful. Rock on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasevales Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 This is an absolutely amazing rendition of Theme of Love. If Uematsu-san heard this he would cry from how his original version got turned into such a fantastic piece of music. Kudos Pot Hocket! I hope you continue to make great music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hy Bound Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I absolutely love this song. I don't usually listen to, or even like this genre that much, but Pot Hocket is a very huge exception to that. His talent is incredibly obvious from the first note. The pacing and dynamics of the overall arrangement are pretty damn amazing. The amount of complex harmonies and little subtleties applied to even the quiet parts of this song, pulled off effortlessly, is awe-inspiring. I have to say, Pot Hocket is one of, if not the most talented musician on the site and I do not say that lightly. 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilp0 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 The most beatiful OCRemix (or any other VG stuff) that I know. Very great song... No messing around with synths and sequencers.. just bare guitars with natural acoustics. The playing is most emotional, skilled and imperfect (in a good way) =sounds more like performance than a production. Not to mention the arrangement.. very cool playing, neither of the guitars seems to be leading, both just flow with the theme giving room to each other. Superb stuff. My very favourite track of the FF4-album ***** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avaris Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 My favorite off of the entire project. Remember all of the sudden this finished mix popping up one day. You did this theme justice; and that's damn near impossible to do. P.S. Now go do Star Stealing Girl...zomg (please) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwordBreaker Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Ever since his first remix was posted (FFX), I've been following Hot Pocket. This track is one of the best in the album and possibly his best work thus far. The quality of recording has gotten much better since Pocket's early work and the arrangement of Theme of Love is played beautifully. I can relate to this theme since it's one of the few tracks I recognize from FFIV. Acoustic guitars--I wouldn't have it any other way for this track.

DragonAvenger Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 The emotion of the playing is what does it for me. Fantastic piece, and wonderfully played. Nice job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jintoreedwine Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Man! We need some more of this great stuff on OCRemix. Slow, emotional, real instruments... fantastic! This is the kind of mix I know I can let ANYONE listen to and know they can't turn it down just because it's "from a game". Nor would they suspect it is from a game. Please, keep it up!

Bahamut Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I <3 Pot Hocket mixes, mainly because of his guitar tone and how well it works for the songs he does. One thing in particular I found curious about this mix is that he approached it delicately throughout, whereas the original grew more dramatic as it progressed. I was somewhat mixed about that, but it worked out for what he was going for so kudos to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emunator Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Well, it should go without saying that I like this a lot Your guitar playing is exquisite and the tone is unbeatable when it comes to acoustic guitars. However, like some of your other mixes I have a hard time picking out the source tune except for a few parts. Nevertheless, it's only once in a blue moon such an emotive, personal mix comes around, so I'm really glad you contributed this to the project. Wonderful work! Also, your production has definitely shot up a notch since your FFVII songs! With such a bare-bones style as this, a high quality recording quality is absolutely a must.
