ReMix:Seiken Densetsu 3 "Hostile but Cuddly" 2:53

Yeah! Fun and tough. It does go out a bit quiet at mid-way when I'm wanting more aggression. XD And I wish it were longer.

I'm actually really impressed with this one. Never really took much notice of its arrangement before, but I love its focus on contrast and impact through juxtaposed sounds. It has really nice touches embedded into both the harsh and slower sections that work side by side. I don't know if they transition into eachother so well, but I can ignore that in order to enjoy the other aspects.

Distortion is always an iffy thing to add to a mix in this quantity, but it didn't upset me much. In fact, I thought it added a nice acidic tone to the proceedings before it descended into the cleaner, mellower portions.

Other areas like the synth and a slight lack of cohesion betray this mix a little, but it's still a very solid piece and one I won't overlook again.

This mix started out pretty cool, with a fade in syncopated piano line, a small build to a moving piano breakdown, and a nice chord progression- so far so good. The percussion that came in was good, but it was muddy and lost a lot of it's punch because of it. Some more separation would have really kicked it up I think.

Part of the issue is the excessively distorted synth taking up a lot of the same frequencies, so it just ends up sounding messy. There is a larger breakdown which sounds really good, but some of the counterpoint has a detune on it or something, so instead of it really clicking, it just throws me off.

Overall a great source, and a very well thought out arrangement, but the production brings it down. Still very enjoyable though, and I encourage people to check it out.

The melody that starts at the 16 second mark sounds a lot like a sped up version of the melody from 'By This River' by Brian Eno.

This is one of the most amazing remixes I've EVER heard! I've heard it once on a WinAmp shoutcast radio (and yes that's how famous this track is now) and I was like, "I have to get this song!". I downloaded the entire OCR songs just for this song. Now that I have this song, I also enjoyed the many others that people have made. Thank you Cloud for making such an amazing remix!

This music is just wonderful, starts off calm, rushful, then calm again. Very similar to "powder" music list. A+

Never really paid this one any mind before, but the arrangement was very strong. Possesses a great deal of personality and variation. The percussion stuff coming in before 1-minute mark was rather bleh for part of it, but the changeup at 1:27 was a great idea, and the track evolved quite nicely from that point on.

This song is a really good remix. To me, it's kinda relaxing, I'm not sure why, it just is.

I found this a while ago... Should have commented on it then. I really like it. Especially the part at 1:04. I extend my recommendations to this piece. Quite nice.

i think dis mix is kool, when i listen 2 it i got dis vision...u know sometimes u c on tv where the movement of the cloud speed up while the sun is risin' n down...n it slows down after da point's made...time past...

we've done remix on dis song in 2 verzions, our 2nd remix. we posted it on the workin' in progress oc remix forum. tis called Seiken Densetsu 3 Powell Abstract --- http://www.ocremix.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=70328

but, we still don't know if we should work on it bit more or not...anyone's opinion would be a great help.

:peace:out

The name of the mix is quite confusing, but

here´s what I think:

The intro and the finish(cuddly) was good in

the way that you had the same feeling left

and picked a tremendously good instrument for

the main melody.

The middle(hostile) gained extra power that almost

make me jump out of my headphones, truly good.

Aim for the stars, not for the clouds dude!

I LOVE the part from 1:05 to 1:22 I wish you made the whole song that way. The beginning is quite good, definetly something I'd listen to. But then we have everything after 1:22. After that point the song mellows down to the point of boringness. We have a lot of mellow songs at OCR. Why not some more fast paced ones. So, If you decide to submit a revision at VGMIX or someplace, let me know, because I'd love to hear it. Without the cool part I'd say this was 5/10 but with it, it raises it a whole 2 points so in other words, you get 7/10. Good job.

I LOOOVE this remix. This song is just awesome. One of my favorites.

the more listens the better this one gets. at first i thought it was so so, and now i'm really liking it. quite a good job at making a simple, yet addictive mix.

I really enjoyed this piece... It is definately one that grows on you, the bell like tones, which are midi-esque probably because they aren't very far from straight generated tones... probably a mix of square and sine... are very expertly executed because there is a strong combination of held notes and cut off notes.

The rythmic things going on with the synth line throughout are very fun and well done as well.

A very nice piece but I agree with many of the other posts, far from perfect and I think the dynamics and polish leave a little to be desired.

8/10

Excellent song choice.
