OCR01501 - Chrono Cross "Reminiscence of Feelings"
Kozmo replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I've always been a big fan of VHD and he DEFINITELY has not lost his touch. I agree with DJP with the focus on balance throughout, because there is a constant, flowing wall of sound during almost all of the piece. Great stuff, I only regret getting it once a year. Well, kinda like Christmas. In late August. -

OCR00509 - Phantasy Star IV "Last Breath, First Breath"
Kozmo replied to orkybash's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
beautifully written with a great choice of instrumentation. This has quickly become one of my favorites of djp's mixes. Very emotive, and at the same time something is always moving in the song. Its a great song to listen to when you are down because of this. Some slower songs achieve the same level of sadness and emotion, but this is one of the few to capture that feeling while keeping the song interesting, unpredictable, and refreshing. -
OCR01172 - Secret of Mana "Return to Elysian Lands"
Kozmo replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Beautiful. Epic. I could listen to this song forever. It has the power to conjure such images and the momentum carries me away everytime i listen to it. Immpeccably made. I am very fond of the strings, especially when there is a simple chord between a lower sound and an upper sound. Extremely impressive, Nigel. -
OCR01022 - Xenogears "Heartfelt Recollections"
Kozmo replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Didn't think i would like it as i listened to the first few seconds (trying not to judge), but this song is freakin' beautiful! The percussion had some good snare and high hat work, the muted guitar was a wonderful addition, and when the piano takes the melody towards the end it sounds great. High quality sounds all across the board. My favorite part has to be where the guitar intially rips into the main melody at almost one minute. Really took me back. The minor sounding lower string notes at the end (3:26, 3:35) really gave the ending another dimension apart from the rest of the Remix and made the ending memorable for me. Great mix, suzumebachi. -
OCR01031 - Metal Gear Solid 2 "May Fortune Smile Upon You"
Kozmo replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Very soothing. Whenever i need to think about something or just slow down, this song is great. It's perfect for reflection and the sound is not oppresive in the least-- it just sits in the background and lets you drink it in. I don't mind how it meanders at all, mostly because while you listen to it that is what your mind is doing. Like DJP said, it kind of wanders, but with focus and direction. Just like a thought pattern. Really nice work, Vigilante. -
OCR01149 - Mega Man X "Dreams Come True"
Kozmo replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
very well done. I was also really fond of the opening piano as well as the instrumental interlude at about 2:00. The lyrics are very well written and the harmony is great. I think that the TH's and the S's need to be articulated more in the singing-- they sounded kind of lisped. Very unique and adds a great new flavor to OCR. I'm liking the pop sound-- for some reason reminded me of the mighty mighty bosstones. Voice? Who knows. Great work Salzman. Keep away from the guides, kids. Stay in school. -
I am very fond of both mixes on this site by BogusRed. Her work is so emotive and flowing, and the upper-register gets me every time. I find myself caught up in the parts like 2:30, when the song is really flowing and moving. Not really any big complaints here. One of the few instances in which i just want to express myself as a big fan and say that I am most certainly looking forward to more.

OCR01125 - Astérix (NES) "Niggaz 4 Life"
Kozmo replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
very creative and well executed. I like the cleverness of the lyrics. The key change was a bit questionable-- i dont think that it worked because after the key change the tone and mood seemed off -
OCR01093 - Breath of Fire "His First Good Deed"
Kozmo replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
i like the variety displayed. I think that the fight sequence adds a whole, new, and unexpected element to the song at the perfect moment. Animal sounds worked well. Great work. -
OCR00605 - Punch-Out!! "Little Mac's Confession"
Kozmo replied to orkybash's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
great song with explosive energy and kick ass guitar solos abound. I like the intro a lot and the first solo after the first chorus. Great lyrics that stick with you for quite a while. However, you have to laugh at the mispronounciation of a few of the words to fit the meter. (barrage, Goliath, etc.). Heard some of Game Over's other stuff, and I can't wait to hear more. -
OCR00326 - Radical Dreamers "Older Promises"
Kozmo replied to Saunders's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
as djp said, the recording leaves a lot to be desired, but i am very fond of the emotion in the arrangement and the way in which the piece moves. I'm a sucker for piano... -
OCR00575 - Final Fantasy IX "Jamming Loneliness"
Kozmo replied to orkybash's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Even though i'm not intimately familiar with this game, I have a found a great fondness for 'You are not alone' (this track) ever since I started looking around on OCR. I do like this mix a lot and feel that it is a good relaxing/chillin song. It is a different representation than a lot of the others, but in this context that is a good thing. I have to say that if I had one complaint about it. It was that the synth playing the main melody just played around with it, playing bits and snippets. That kinda bugged me because i kept waiting for the main melody to rip through the rest of the song and start dominating, but it kinda just messed around with it. Kinda irked me, but not enough to throw the song. Can't believe i just said irked. Edit:melody comes in at 3:26 on a smooth sounding synth and I couldn't be happier about it. -
great song with a very infectious beat. As many others have said, it is very impressive that Disco Dan could make this so interesting and yet so long. I really like the section with the arpeggios at about 2:15. It really sets the stage for the rest of the song and is great to listen to. One of my ocr favorites.
