orkybash Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 Magical Drop III 'Enigmatic Lunacy' This is a nice dance track. Though the chord progression stays the same the whole time, it takes that progression and builds all sorts of stuff on top of it which kept it fresh (though that piano still started to get on my nerves near the end). Nice use of voice samples, too. All in all, it's kinda short, but it's fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusaku999 Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 I found the song to be a great one. I loved the game, greatly, and the music stayed true to the original format without getting too close to the original mix, and something "way out in left field". The added voice/sound clips... Well done! Original thinking, as most songs don't even consider adding this to the songs. One song that did, before this one was the Mega Man 2 remix, Quick Flash(?). I'd like to see more remixes follow this example. So anyway, Remixer, THANK YOU for the excellent work, and please, remix another Magical Drop 3 song! -J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solarus Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 Man, this is excellent! It's really catchy and works perfectly with WA3's crossfade so you can listen to it again and again and again... The voice samples are extremly co_Ol...and fits the song exactly... Excellent work! 9/10 - because it's short! //Solarus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fygee Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 It pleases me to no end to see a Neo-Geo remix up after the all too long dry spell. The fact that its Magical Drop 3 is even better, since the music was great and pretty much tailor made for remixing (would kill to hear the final boss music remixed). I really hope to see more in the future (Samurai Shodown, KOF, Fatal Fury, Last Blade, Metal Slug, and Waku Waku 7 anyone?). The remix is quite nice. Not the best I've heard, but a very good job nonetheless. The comment by DJP to avoid Legend of Success Joe is wise indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aureolius Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 I LOVED THE WAY YOU USED THOSE VOICE SAMPLES!!!!!!! Are they from the game? WAY COOL!!!!!!!! They fit so well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fygee Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 Forgot to mention something, if you want to hear the true voice samples when you play the game, set the region to Japanese. For some reason Data East put some annoying generic dude in for the voices in the American version instead of the ultra cool ones. *song continues to kick ass* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starla Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 Moon is the best character -ever-. this game is incredible ... and now we have a good remix to honor its name. =] thank you for not creating an atrocity. this goes up there with the best. ~starla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neostormx Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 Ok i been trying to post on this topic.. something was wrong with connection. Anyway: Ok, High quality sounds, Great Arrangement, and Good/decent production value. And I also like the implemented game sounds/voices. I thought the piano chord was a bit repeatative, but it was ok for this type of mix. Could have used more variation in the mix, but ok. Good listen!

Yusaku999 Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Moon is the best character -ever-. ~starla Actually, the best character is Temperance. She's so damn cute. Of course, World isn't bad either. Love the sanjiyan.... -J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merid Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 You know a mix is good when it makes you want to play the game it's from. This song makes me want to go out and buy a NeoGeo and this game. Love the upbeat feel and FX involved. You can't just stay still when you listen to all that goes on in this mix. Well done, Wesley Hopper. Anyone know where I can find a rom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarla Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 I loved Magical Drop and I loved this. Fer me, da voice samples totally made this.

Uberwulf X Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 great way to interpret the moon stage. this is one of my favorites, for sure. any chance at all of pulling of death or world? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnum_Thunder Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 From a catchy tune to a pulsing finish, this remix is an excellent example of any mix made from any Magical Drop game. The slight echo and sounds of character speech and dissapearing balls was something that would attract anyone who had played the game, or even not. The pace set by the phrases just kept a hold of you througnout the whole thing. I only wish that it were longer and had much more side elements to co-star with the already great melodies. Having a breaking base would be for the best. Final Grade: 7.5 out of 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I'm not feeling the vocal samples, but they don't really detract from an otherwise fun mix. I love these piano-driven dance tracks, and this one is produced pretty well. I wish the lead synth had a slightly stronger attack, but as is, it's still decent. Great work keeping things interesting throughout, I like this one, super cheerful and energetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marmiduke Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Another one of those highly energetic dance mixes that pad out the OCR library. Nothing glaringly wrong with it, and not all that much exceptional about it either. Very fun and bubblegummy, but anyone after a fulfulling or exhilirating track probably wont find it with this. The source seems like a perfect choice for remixing and the style its done in, and I thought the game samples were used sparingly enough that they added a nice charm. It's well-made, it's ear-pleasing, but it's also familiar territory. Not all mixes need to be historic, and this proves that. It's good despite not being great.
