  1. This work really stands on its own... My friend, having already got me into the gateway drug of FF Tactics a few years prior, got me onto the hard stuff in 2018, FF14 MMO. I distinctly remember the base game being "ok" but not great, heavensward was truly a breath of fresh air as I reached the first "expansion" of the game. The music was great, but I am poignantly reminded that it has been probably 5 years since I wandered the halls of heavensward. It's definitely been 2-3 years since I played FF14 at all, and the music was always so phenomenal. Anyway...really love this mix, I'll have to log back in just to chill in heavensward and listen to the tune after this. 😎
  2. Man some remixes, you just instantly click with....This is one of them.. What am I drawn to? I suppose I am a sucker for downbeat jazzy trance. Also the kind of ethereal "stretched" synth sounds just make my brain happy. Not to mention the actual mix quality, at least on my desktop monitors is just so crisp and clean. What's not to love. 😎🤙
  3. What a fantastic remix. Saucy beat, and oh my god I don't know what one of those synths was, but that is definitely OLD SCHOOL, and I love it. I don't know how to describe it, its got that reverby quality to it? It's on many of the classic bangers here, but properly and beautifully splashed into this. Nostalgia from classic ocremix and classic games all in one, so many layers....like an onion.....ogre......
  4. Love the energy in this track. Feels like a mini orchestra of an adventurous spring day in the forest. As I continue to work my way backwards from newest to oldest remixes I find these little oasises(oasi?) of rebeccas remixes to be a nice calm rest point between some of the more wild tracks haha. Thanks for the great arrangement!! 😎🤙
  5. Really creative take on a fan favorite. The melody in this track can be so powerful on its own that some remixes have to stray really far to stand out. This one feels like it compliments the melody while still being quite experimental. The intro was a little rough for me I really dislike that distortion effect, I am sure it was to set the tone, but ughh....Outside of that, bobbed along happily, and that crunchy ending was so satisfying, left me wanting more! Wait isn't that the opposite of satisfying? 5 stars! 🌠
  6. I really like the "lo-fi" bass here mixed with some more 'crystally" sounds, feels like im exploring a cave full of glowing....crystals! Possibly after consuming some mushrooms found in the cave. You know what, s****'s getting wild, time to get out of the cave! Adding this one to the "chill, rainy day" playlist! 😎🤙
  7. One of my favorite things about this site is I learn something new about music itself every so often. When I read the critiques before the song(most of the time, I swear), sometimes I get confused, and feel compelled to learn more. Other times I just piece together clues slowly as I read more and more judge critiques and sort of "solve" what their discussing.....Anyway, what I mean to say is, I only had a vague idea of time signatures, and the emphasis on the time signature being challenging made me ask, well what the hell is 13/8 mean anyway? So it send me down a 20minute youtube rabbit hole where I took an introductory lesson into sheet music on bars, measures, and finally timings. I still cant tell a 4/4 from a 6/4, but now I know that 13/8 is really fast. Lol. And I feel that in the drums. And I love it. This is a fantastic remix, gives off a whimsical but industrial vibe, at the same time. Great stuff!
  8. Always been a huge fan of goldeneye...so many 4 player matches....slappers only...license to kill....turbo.... And of course, the oldest always got oddjob, relegating us all to get chopped to death at our knees.... But I digress. Really moody ambience here, far more haunting than expected in a 007 track, but I dig it. In fact, I don't recall this original melody, which is kind of blowing my mind when I think about how much we played this game..I really like what's going on though, definitely has an epic sense of mystery, suspense and perhaps doom. Fantabulous.
  9. This is SO good!! We need more of this style haha. 😎
  10. I've heard quite a few variations on this theme over the 20 some odd years I've perused this site, and this is definitely a top notch variation! Love the instrument choice and execution. The one crazy mutation in the middle was a bit off-putting, but I suppose that's the point in Dancing Mad. Anyway I'd also like to thank jnwake specifically from this track for all the collaborations I've observed you in. Artists like you keep this site alive with new music, I feel like as I've been working my way backwards from the newest music back to the very beginning I am frequently seeing your name on the tracks on the first couple pages, so that's awesome for OCR and listeners like me.
  11. Perfect melody while I am studying my piano technicians book.. Soothes the brain like a cool ocean breeze. Wonderful.
  12. Fantastic remix, title is great, fits exactly how the theme feels, like being in some trippy underwater zone.
  13. What a jam, not only classic doom vibes, but classic C&C vibes with that "waah" echo!
  14. The track is really great but that bass at the beginning just comes through the speakers so perfect...that is all!
  15. Even though it's a completely different song, this makes me feel like a more uplifting version of "Learning to Fly" by Pink Floyd. Really beautiful stuff, wish I could have had this to listen to on my trip to Italy a few months ago!
