DJ Skratch 'n' Sniff Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 I've already given this mix my criticism; this is just an after thought. I don't know if anyone's said anything about this, but does it bother anybody else that the two heavily panned guitars are out of sync? It probably wouldn't bother me so much if they were two different guitars... nevermind. I still really like the mix though. Quote
PlatinumWinter Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 [mod edit: this is not the place for your rant] Now then, Love Reef... this is concentrated awesomeness. I love everything about this track,the vocals are all really good, especially the "rap," towards the end! Quote
PlatinumWinter Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 It was a good rant! ah well, and I really do like the song! No really... it's been sat on my iPod playing all day! and if it hasn't been playing, I've been singing it at work! It's them darn keys! Quote
BlueMage Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 I would like to add, the instrumental version is still awesome (and allows fuller appreciation of the guitar work ) but it strikes me as best suited to a karaoke version - this is a track that just seems .... lessened from not having the lyrics.

lord of all kobuns Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 This remix is beyond words. Lava Reef has been one of my favorites of S-and-K, and this remix really does it justice. Incredible, simply incredible. The pianos, guitars, and everything just surrounds me. The vocals are good, and the spoken bit near the end makes the song better, for some reason.Listen to this loud.

Kurokun1293 Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 Incredible. Rarely do I get to hear a song from a video game with vocal's becoming a solid part of it. But the lyrics were not only emotionally sound, but they fit the actual level perfectly. The vocals sounded incredible. The music was done right on cue. If there was a flawless remix for Sonic music in general, we have it right here. This is beyond the highest reccomendations, this is downright mandatory to listen to. ALL SONIC FANS SHOULD HAVE IT.

JimSelve Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 Whoa, this song appeared in one of my dreams last night. (Is this a good thing?) Quote
Kurokun1293 Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 Incredible. Arguably the best remix that ive heard for S&K, and even topping the rest of the Sonic songs that ive heard. The vocals were just enough to be great, and the lyrics made sense (which is a plus, since most of the time lyrics dont make sense right away) and related to the theme of Lava Reef Zone. In my opinion, there are few better remixes that i like here. If you have any sort of soul, you will keep making these! Quote
Lockblade Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 Great mix. Nothing else can really be said. It's just an overall well done mix, not polished too much, but it still shines. EDIT: Just downloaded the Instrumental verion, and only one tought popped into my head: Karaoke anyone? Quote
taelusramza Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 Count me as a huge fan of this mix. The addition of meaningful lyrics was brilliant, and came off really well. One of my favorite S&K mixes, and one of my favorite mixes in general. Quote
Vertigo88 Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 A very unique way to remix Lava Reef. Some may not like this song, but take heart, they're total morons. This kicks ass. Quote
IndyCovaHart Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 Oh, oh... Was that a not-so-subtle plagiaristic finger point... Quote
GrayLightning Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 A Horse With No Name, by America. Care to clarify? Quote
Liontamer Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 They sound nothing alike. Nah, I think these MIDI guitar strums were ripped and beefed up. Vocal delivery is verbatim. Lockdown 2 material right here baby. Enjoy this while it lasts, people. Oh come on. 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la... Quote
mDuo13 Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 Wait. "Sonic & Knuckles Lover Reef": There's no Amy, so does that make Knuckles a girl? And in love with Sonic? Or am I reading too much into things? Quote
Zipp Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 Yeah, this is nothing like a Horse with no Name, though I see the connection, especially in that midi version. Maybe you could say they are chord cousins, or something, but the spirit is very different. Anyways, this mix gets a 4/5. I still think Pixie and Taucer need to do another mix sometime soon. Quote
Geoffrey Taucer Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 I still think Pixie and Taucer need to do another mix sometime soon. Agreed. Quote

Beat - the Sonic Superhero Posted May 8, 2006 Posted May 8, 2006 This song is one of the few that I'vecome across that has lyrics to it. I haven't played this particular game in about 3 years (I remember it being really easy to beat with knuckles though), but I remember the music well, and this is thouroughly recognizable. Well done!! Quote
InertiaCreep Posted May 14, 2006 Posted May 14, 2006 Probably my favorite Zone (I'm considering Hidden Palace as part of it, mind you) from all of the Sonic games put together. With that said, I think this is one of my favorite OCRemix songs I've heard. The vocals aren't perfect, but that's the charm of it. Its not some multi-million dollar project. Its a group of people, having fun, and sharing their efforts with the masses. Already has a place rooted in my Favorites folder. The lyrics, by the way, were killer Quote
Zekian Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 The fact that most of this was thrown together in one night blows my mind. You guys outdid yourselves. It's just a blast to listen to. Fantastic work, and get together again sometime. For us. Quote
