flipt Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 This is... indeed... very owny. The only reason this isn't 10/10 is the guitar is overly loud. I played with my setup a bit and it never sounded totally right. They just seemed a bit *too* loud. Reguardless, thats a minor thing compared to the overall quality of this mix. 9.5/10 Quote
Debotron-6K Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 Please do not use me in adjective form. The situation regarding my use on the internet is bad enough as it is. I would appreciate your cooperation.-the verb own This remix is very high quality stuff, love the guitar, but the tempo/structure of the drums annoys me a bit. thank you, Goat. Quote

GreenMaster8 Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 goat, You could consider me a fan of yours. I have loved every single piece of your work, and I would have to say that "Stained Glass Filth" is nothing short of awesome. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to your future releases. Your guitar skills are phenomenal, GM8 Quote
A-RoN Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 To add to my review of the song at VGMix, all I can say is I still listen to it this very day, and I've had it for four months now. Good work, goat. If we ever meet face to face, first thing you get is a big hug. EDIT: I said it before and I'll say it again. If Ailsean and goat were both lions, Ailsean would growl, but goat will roar. Let's face it. This mix will blow you away. Quote
Malaki-Nemesis.exe Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 Damn...this...is...awesome. I downloaded it knowing Goat is both heavy metal/castlevania loving. I heard this and it was pure awesome. The guitar work is simply great and the intro is very pulsating. I'll be jammin on my peavey for awhile on this one. Quote
maniacodepressif Posted October 1, 2004 Posted October 1, 2004 Defenitly your best mix to date, what can I say...more more!!! Simply perfect, I think it sounds exactly like the original songmakers wanted but couldn't. Do 12 songs like this you got yourself a damn good album, wow... I'm learning the song right now, on guitars first. I might even do it in cover. Perfect mixing, compression quality and prestations. Simply what I always wanted to here ever since I was 10. Quote
Kuwanger Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 unholy Dracula! I like this one. Castlevania Goooooo! Quote
XdEaDcLiNiCx Posted November 1, 2004 Posted November 1, 2004 Goat knew exactly what this site needed...a good dose of Heavy F***ing Metal! Goat kicks ass, he needs to make an album with these kool remixes! Quote
himurajubei Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 Dear fuggin' lord... Awsome... wicked... *drool* can't speak... listening to mix... *froth* - Jubei Quote
Nabrin Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 Castlevania has soundtracks that I have loved since I was . . . I don't know . . . three years old? I've always wanted to hear some of these songs seriously rocked on guitar like they were meant to, and dammit Goat, you are my hero for doing such a good job on this one that I just want to curl up in fetal position and hold my headphones to my ears . . . 'cause I like it that much. I like the wah guitar in the background on the verse, the trills and embellishments you stack on, and . . . like . . . that backpedaling thing you do at 1:14 . . . teh solo at 3:40 . . . The only thing I would be able to complain about (ever so slightly) is that the rhythm guitar at the end when it's fading out could use a little more beefiness to it. It seems a little flat without the solo guitars over it. But you rock. Please do more. Quote
BlueMage Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 The drums as it fades out....that's what really got me. I mean, the guitar is great and all, but the drums.....damn, the drums! Either way, it's still damn good! Quote
Art_lover Posted May 15, 2005 Posted May 15, 2005 This is my favortie stage music from Castlevania. If I don't remember anything about the game itself, I'll remember the music. Goat did an awesome job on this one and I even added this remix to my playlist. Thumbs up from me, man! Quote
Lord Archimage Nykimbur Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 Fuckin a, great metal remix, I'm checking out goat's other stuff coz of this. Quote
Taffin Posted August 30, 2005 Posted August 30, 2005 Surprisingly, not my favorite rendition of "Beginning" (arguably the most recognizable VG tune after the original SMB). The one thing I love about this track is the different directions goat takes the original music in. It shows his creativity as a guitarist better than the other tracks he has on OCR and has a perfect ending. Quote
Soapy Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 Can't top that, some of the greatest work in the world can be found here at ocremix. Quote
FrozenHope Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 This is my favorite Goat remix I've heard so far; an extremely solid metal-based composition that I thoroughly enjoyed. This guy's work has opened my eyes to the heavy metal potential in Castlevania's music. Quote
XiaoXiaoNeo Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 A great song, no doubt about it. Goat can realllllly shread. A jam to remember. Quote
Djinn Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 This is SICK AS FUCK. Some of the best metal I've heard. The drums compliment the guitar work perfectly, and the production is out of this world! You completely captured the spirit of the original, and made it even BETTER. 5 stars! I love the ending! So professional! Quote
Sir_Downunder Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 Excellently shred-tastic work from the CV metal master himself. Quote
Marmiduke Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 Tags: power, fury, whirlwind of guitars, ownage, squealing, howling, orgasmic. No other words are needed to describe my adulation for this mix. Quote
OceansAndrew Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 Pretty brutal stuff, no wonder Goat was the metal king of the early OCR years. Tasteful but rocking solo, great drum fills, and then even another round of shredding solos, and a great ending round it out. Totally Metal, and easily one of Goat's best tracks. \m/ Quote
tweex Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 Holy hell, that was an intense intro. These are the guitar tones that I so desperately wanted to hear in the previous mix. They sound crisp and clean, but still dirty at the same time. Very nice. The precision of the playing is just as solid as we normally hear from Chris. It's got his signature metal sound all over it. He does something very interesting in this track that he really hasn't done in his previous mixes and it concerns the dynamics. The song never really changes its intensity level; it starts out hard and stays that way. However, with some minor changes in the rhythm from the drums and power chords, he brings new dynamic levels to the track. It's a very interesting shift that's not really noticeable if you listen casually, but you can feel that it plays differently from his other tracks. Very good work on that front. The metal is sick in this; a great rockin song all around! The fadeout is unforgivable in a track like this though; it could have really used a powerful ending . Not bad, mate; not bad at all! Quote
