ReMix:Mega Man 2 "Wily and the Deep Forest" 5:16

There's a lot of rocking stuff here, but specifically the percussion is phenomenal. Crisp beats and good patterns make me a happy listening, and epiano and some funk certainly doesn't hurt.

This is the exact arrangement style that i love, with a huge attention to detail, and really solid arrangement. Production is ace as well; really everything about this mix is superb. One of Diggi Dis's best, and considering how consistent he normally is, it's definitely saying something.

Impressive. This is actually a really solid mix. My only complaint would not be the quality of the piano/string instruments, but their volume. I can barely hear the beginning and end of the song, and then the middle is quite loud. But quite good, too. The whole middle section, I loved. Not a huge fan of the slower parts, but one kind of gets over that with a varied, jumpin' midsection like this had.

Awesome mix.

It's been playing almost non-stop

since I first heard it.

Thanks much.

I've never had sex, but I think that when and if I do, it'll feel something like this.

Actually, unless something goes horribly wrong, it should be more like http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR00464/ (especially 0:00-0:27, and the part at 1:43-2:09 which repeats on and off through the rest of the song)

Though, if both you and your partner are well versed in appreciation of music, it could be well worth developing an intimate knowledge of Wily and the Deep Forest.

Your first time is going to feel like the section of the song that plays in 2:31 - 2:38. Now you know. (the timer on my mp3 app is a little screwed up, so that section could actually be somewhere else in the song.)

Everything in the song is nice, except for the sci-fi sitars that come in at 1:16. The melody instrument used later, taking over at 3:15, is much better.

haha, the string overlap in the intro is pretty terrible

however, the rest of the mix rocked harder than a lot of the stuff here

excellent work; made my collection easily

This remix started off a little too light for my taste, but I really liked it once it picked up around the 1 minute mark.

Yeah!! Youve really got your rythms goin! As well as some really lovely Rhodes/piano stuff... Most of whats goin on here really tickles my musical senses... great mix of songs.. Great stuff man! Very professional and tasteful... //GaMeBoX

geat work! i especially like the variety in the fills. I particularly dig the triplets. nice job!

Well, Zircon and Vigilante have made some good posts. That's really all I was going for. Reason by the reasonings. I agree with you guys 100% (especially Zircon and the "familiar" samples) but sometimes I think most people can get a little lost in the production value and kinda forget that all of this stuff came from some of the worst, harshest sounding hardware from back in the day. Rock on.

I really liked this mix. Smooth transitions, nice drum work, except the obvious things mentioned before (which really don't take away from this song's awesomeness), this is a solid mix. I'm lovin' it.

Mustin:

I'm not sure what you expect...i certainly commented that the strings weren't great, and yet I hardly followed with the conclusion that due to the string sample, the track is excluded from the set of "Good Music." In fact, quite the opposite. I think this track is awesome.

This is obviously not the case in all corners of the community, but here at OCR we encourage our reviewers to include not only positive, but also critical comments.

For me, the string sample is one of very few minor weakness in an otherwise stellar track.

Lots of mixes are posted to this site that don't have great quality samples. Look at Rellik's latest mix, it's all FL default stuff. Chthonic's is pretty much the same way. Not to mention Dr.Fruitcake's mixes, and so forth and so on. I really don't think people like pixietricks or GeoffreyTaucer (or the other 4-5+ people who had a problem with the string sample, myself included) are saying that samples have to be perfectly realistic for a good song. That is obviously false. However, I think in this case, most people feel the sample is just not being used well, for whatever reason.

As you should know, the same quality samples can be used by multiple people, and different results can be achieved. Whether it's through different methods of sequencing, different approaches to production, layering, mastering, or whatever, it's just a fact. I think the good majority of people liked this mix. I definitely liked it. Nonetheless, that doesn't mean there still might not be a small problem with it.

Not a big fan of the intro, especially the string samples...

The strings leave much to be desired...

...the strings weren't really that great.

Yes, string samples really keep things from being good music.

GET OVER SAMPLE QUALITY PEOPLE! KTHX!
