OCR01170 - Seiken Densetsu 3 "This Heart"
Longinus replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I associate this song with falling in love w/ my gf. When I would talk to her online I would always play this, because it seemed so fitting. It gives me the feeling that I'm in a free-fall, tumbling forever but without a care, suspended in perfect contentment and beauty. Thanks, Destiny. Your music does more for people than you can realize. -
WOW. This has taken Zelda trackage and added something to it. At 1:02, was I the only one who felt a serious Final Fantasy VII echo? Then back to Zelda hehe. I enjoy all of this remix, but those moments when the strings come out really, really make it for me, and make me think of FFVII. Haha, sorry lol I can't help it.

OCR01125 - Astérix (NES) "Niggaz 4 Life"
Longinus replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I'm not a huge fan of this one. All I kept thinking was, "Christ, is this song in minor or major key?" I mean, COME ON. If it's minor, which it certainly sounds like 90% of the time, then stop throwing in the goddamn major third. Jesus! Just stop lol! Other than that this is ok, but I honestly can't get past those major thirds. Better they had just taken the entire melody and put it in minor. I'm also not a big fan of the modulation into a new key that happens around halfway in. edit: I'm listening to this again, and damnit, if you just changed that one note! Right now it's like this: You my nig - ga Csharp D E A It could easily have been this: You my nig - ga Cnatural D E A Just my opinion though. -
This has just become my all-time favorite remix. It just represents everything I'm trying to do with my own music. Damn. po!, you rock.

OCR00146 - Mega Man 3 "Gemini Salsa"
Longinus replied to Jivemaster's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
0:35 is badly dissonant, and I'm sure it's not intentional. Other than that, I love this mix. The low techno-ey kick makes it not really salsa. Also the bassline lacked some nuances that I would have included. (But hey, I'm a jazz upright bassist) Overall this is a great remix. Highly recommended. -
OCR01093 - Breath of Fire "His First Good Deed"
Longinus replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Trenthian definitely knows what he's doing with the arranging part of this. Production is nice too. It's almost epic, in an understated way. Percussion is done very well. Wait... here come the synths and the groove. Nice! Wait... back to orchestral/ambient. Wait... back to groove. Damn, this is nice! Wait... lots more groove. XD I won't write any more, just prepare for a nice little ride with this remix. -

OCR01085 - Mega Man 3 "Magnet Man Goes West"
Longinus replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Wow, this is impressive. Of course I'm a sucker for Megaman remixes in general, and Magnet Man was one of my favorite themes. This does justice to it, and the fact that not every single instrument is a synth makes it easy for non-technoers like me to listen and enjoy. It's smooth and edgy all at the same time. Definitely recommended. -
OCR00514 - Super Mario Bros. 2 "Underground Riddims"
Longinus replied to orkybash's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
McV does absolutely the best percussion. Absolutely. Everything about this mix just fits perfectly. Highly recommended.
