Caleb Wolfbrand Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) The length does not bother me as I've always been a fan of long songs, assuming they keep my interest. Like the source track, this does just that! A really BADASS version is awesome, like The Black Mages one. edit : MY GOD, THE LYRICS!

Torzelan Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Yeah this is one of the best things ever, definitely pushed PuD's Duds into "must buy" territory (so picked that up along with Contra 4: Rocked ‘n’ Loaded a while back). Get it, get it, get it! Also found hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karrde Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Is it bad that I wanna hear the screwball 88kbs version? XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwordBreaker Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I remember listening to about half of it at the time of its DoD release and really digging it. I didn't complete my listen due to time constraints and laziness, but I will soon. Promise. From what I've listen to though, it's PoD at his best! Must-download. I'm so happy with the re-evaluation of OCR submission standards. That means we can finally get classics such as CarboHydroM's EPIC A Link to the Past Medley "Unsealed". This needs to be posted in OCR!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychowolf Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 One of PUD's finest remixes so far. I remember when i found this on DoD site so long ago, its about time it was uploaded here to bring it to more people's attention, I personally enjoy the bit at like 2.15 which sounds abit like something out of dream theater's Black clouds and silver linings album, Nightmare to Remember perhaps? PUD is always worth a good listen, I've been a big fan of his work ever since his first remix on DoD which won first place that month i believe His skill both on his instruments and sound production are beyond amazing, This rendition IN MY OPINION best's The Black Mages rendition of the same track. And i think that, is saying something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OfficialJab Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I was alarmed when I read the.... lyrics first. But didn't even notice them during the track, so no harm done. It's an incredible song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gario Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Haha, I love that write-up. "This is not a challenge! 7+ minutes will create more scrutiny in the panel! (DON'T) DO IT!!" This is an epic track, though. Seriously pushes everything and more in your face, and I love every minute of it. I... don't have much to say about it, really - the fact that OCR bend it's rules around just so it could include the mix should give you a hint as to how awesome it is.

Tuberz McGee Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Okay. I've loved this mix since the first day I heard it on DoD WAY back. This song changed the way I look at arranging. PoD is an incredible mixer and deserves all the praise we can give him. I have nothing but respect for someone who can do a Dancing Mad mix that ISN'T JUST A COVER. Tony is one of the best mixers out there, and he's just warming the tip of the ice berg. I can't wait to see what else he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunther Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Awesome piece, loved it since it was still a DoD entry, now seems even better. 5/5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadeAuto Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I was alarmed when I read the.... lyrics first. But didn't even notice them during the track, so no harm done. It's an incredible song. This. And I don't even notice them on repeated playthroughs. Time to rock the headphones and listen very closely. This song is all sorts of ownage. More PoD please!

Brandon Strader Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Snappleman is fat and greek, he masturbates with feta cheese! Congrats to Tony for winning the EBP contest and a huge thanks for getting the size limit increased. Tony's the best vgm has to offer, not too much else to add.

Inferno232 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I must repay you for this, Prince, if I can call you Prince, because, if not, you certainly deserve to be called it. If you ever require a loyal manservant, I will happily oblige. This... This is like my most wonderful chaotic dream. It's just... Awe-inspiring. And I can't even notice the profanities. That said, this is the BEST Dancing Mad mix I've heard. Well, okay, maybe it's on par with "A Thousand Voices Screaming In Unison" off the Badass album. But that's the only one that, in my opinion, is close to it. So, like I said, this is my new favorite "Dancing Mad" mix and I doubt it will be deposed for some time. Enjoy that album spot you won with the Earthbound Papas. You deserve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flexstyle Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I haven't even listened to the song but I know I'll love it because of how large of a file it is. 'Course, the comments here are pretty encouraging, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakken Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Uh. Wow. Not much I can say other than this is truly epic (and I hate to use that word), and I really enjoyed listening to it (on my 2nd playthrough now). I love long prog rock stuff, so this is right up my alley. Btw add another one for "I didn't notice any language." EDIT: I think it's time I actually listen through the original Dancing Mad.

KnightOfTheRound Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Wow, this is one hell of a mix! 2 of Uematsu's best works mixed into one truly awesome arrangement. I'm loving every minute of this.. Parts of this track remind me of a track I made for the upcoming FF9 project. Very, very good mix. I don't even want to imagine how long this took. Also, congrats on winning the EBP contest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishy Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Enjoyed this although as a Frost* fan I feel obliged to point out that the solo is a tribute to Black Light Machine. Yeah, little disappointed that I didn't see anything about that in the writeup. Also heard some Dance of Eternity in there. It's obviously pretty epic in general though.

Rambo Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Hahahaha. These lyrics. I don't even. Amazing song. I thought being 11+ mins long it would get dull and/or repetitive at some point, and I was extremely wrong. Wicked mix, as I shouldn't have doubted coming from PoD.

Jared Hudson Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I felt compelled to give this a quick review and shout out. Somebody listens to Dream Theater! The influence I hear is uncanny. The production and performance on this is top notch, and would argue it's one of the top guitar rock / progressive rock pieces in all of OCR's history. That's quite a compliment, considering there are 1000's of remixes. Not sure if you did line-in, or live mic for this. Regardless, I'll still say keep it live if you can! The sound is so much purer and unique doing so! Great drum programming, song structure, and flow. Congratulations on a fantastic piece of music.

ryankeeton Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Very impressive, I enjoyed it quite a bit. Massively reminds me of Dream Theater. and that's a good thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunther Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Very impressive, I enjoyed it quite a bit. Massively reminds me of Dream Theater. and that's a good thing To me, it reminds a little of Dimmu Borgir too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
