RT6: Revenge of the Remix Tournament

ROUND 2:

4: Experiment121 - Faith is for the Transient People
MIDI mix. What does "experimental" mean?


5: CrazyBeats - Pasporte
World tour eurobeat. Japanese and romaji lyrics are available.


6: Diverse System - Mami Mami Bad Funk
I don't have a precise genre for this; title says "electronica," which is fair. I don't know if I'd call this vocal, but there are lyrics.

i don't have enough time to rate rn but gotta clarify real fast. This one's called Funkot (which also tends to be sampled really hard that's why uploader said vocal perhaps) from Funky Kota House and "Electronica" is just a mistake of uploader

as far as i recall electronica is just "unusual" electronic music so not exactly something you would listen to in a club or during a party

example: 




and by that i just meant that i wouldn't really count funkot as electronica (at least that's how it is for me)

 
and now about my rates because we got offtopic a little

1. Surprisingly this one hits quite hard, i really could see it used in some kind of fangame it just has that vibes of Faith is for Transient People which i like quite a bit when it comes to originals (i also quite like the claps here)

8/10

2. oh, it's Tsukasa i remember how i adored Sound Online circle mostly because her but after it got disbanded (?) i really stopped looking further for her works.
now i'm not huge fan of eurobeat in most cases despise it's a electronic music however that would be quite good for some more intense and fast paced games also vocal is quite good

7.5/10

3. now about funkot, it's quite simple music usually not complicated and with a lot of sampling, it doesn't even seem that hard to do when you know what are you doing honestly, however in this case i would say simple can be much better than complicated, it's just that something what causes that i can listen to funkot all the time and it's not even that it's catchy as heck, i just can't explain it

9/10

 
Faith is for the Transient People

It sounds pretty good, but it feels a bit empty to me, and is incredibly close to the original. I think there are some speed changes in there at least, which I appreciate, but other than that there's not much to say about it.

It's not bad, it's just kinda unmemorable. 4/10.

Passport

This is absolutely my jam. The background guitar is just great, and that synth riff is hella fast. These things give it a great driving energy, and then layered with the very pleasant and catchy vocals, and complimented with that piano break in the middle, just makes for an incredibly fun package overall. It's just so fun to listen to! Keine underrated character btw.

Yeh, I really like this song. 8/10.

Mami Mami Bad Funk

This sounds like Funknot. I'm not normally a fan of Funknot, but I kinda enjoy this. I was hooked on the opening, and I like all the different synths used in this, but I do find the use of samples a bit excessive. And then suddenly... lyrics? Sort of?... I'm sorry, but all I can think of is DK rap listening to this bit  :KoishiXD: .
I think I'd really like this were it not for the excessive voice samples. As it is, I'll rate it right in the middle, 5/10.

 
Alright . . .

1:  Faith is for the Transient People - Quite nice, though I don't feel that there is much added other than the electric guitar.  It works fairly well though.  7/10

2:  Plain Asia vocal (I think) - This is different . . . it's most good, but the occasional rapid electronic sound gets on my nerves.  6/10

3:  Futatsuiwa from Sado - What?  We have a good electronic mix of the theme, pretty faithful to the original and rather good piece, but we also have somebody that shows up and . . . I don't know, starts trying to rap?  What even happened?  4/10

( As I'm sure many have noticed by now, I'm not very good at explaining how I feel about music. )

 
suddenly! im busy in this past few days, but seems fine, i just dont sleep
and ohgod electro round

Spoiler
Experiment121 - Faith is for the Transient People

aint experimental is.. experimental?
where you try to create something out of standard genre

what's with the straight copies this tourney
although i do hear original supports so yeah i can pass
i do have another complain with the sudden guitar, it scares me

5/10

lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
CrazyBeats - Pasporte

despite eurobeat is a bit too much for me
i cant stop laughing, although some meaning is a bit serious but cmon who aint laugh when you heard someone just singing country names.

7/10

kinda sad your country isn't mentioned
Diverse System - Mami Mami Bad Funk

huh, feels too sharp for a funkot, maybe hardbass but the name contains funk.... this stand vaguely between hardbass and funkot.

i confus a lot

6/10

i cant think of anyone in this tournament submitted this



 
Sorry I'm late with my responses. Reactions abridged because I listened to these a few days ago.

Faith is for the Transient People:

My favorite part of this one is the touch of bass as the sole harmony line in the bridge sections near the end. It adds a greater variety of tension in the flow of the music.

6/10, decent mix but not standout.

Keine Eurobeat:

I don't listen to eurobeat often, but I have never regretted doing so. A bopper.

8/10 boppin

Mamizou electronica:

Not the most memorable of Futatsuiwa from Sato remixes, but it got me to look up some more (which I'm now wishing I had submitted instead of one of my picks, so it gets a

7.5/10 meme theme

 
I may or may not have been haunting this page all day to get this in asap . . .

ROUND 3:

7: Touhou Jihen - OHKAMIYOHOTOKEYO
Funky rock, but not really.


8: vegitotenks2002 - Complete Darkness
Live performance pipe piano.


9: GET IN THE RING - traumatic
Not funky, but really rock.

Touhou Jihen - OHKAMIYOHOTOKEYO

it's pretty catchy, traditional rock always a welcome
i like the Choir(?) part, and the Percussions also nice

im having hard time recognizing the original theme in it, just like other NSY stuff smh.
i only "feel" it at 3:03

we've been having too exact copy and now too original.
why it's so hard

7.2/10

this recommendations line up nicely forming a circle

View attachment 2090
vegitotenks2002 - Complete Darkness

whose theme again is this?
again why... carbon copy
please refer back to my comment on septet for the dead princess which have no review basically

i hear minor imperfections but he's doin a live performance so okay
4.5/10

on other note, those 2 probably a nice listen if not because of this a remix tourney
GET IN THE RING - traumatic

i definitely can hear the original theme in this

after all that happened i feel like this is nice

8/10

im always out of comment for 3rd song



 
1. i like rock (in most cases) but this one ain't my type sadly, it's not bad but i just can grip around it and listen to it for more than a few mins, don't get me wrong funky rock in plenty of cases is more than enough for me but this just doesn't hit as hard as some other does

6/10

2. Drunken has a point here, although i'm going to rate it a little higher that's for sure, i really, really (and REALLY) like Complete Darkness and it's played nicely here, i'm not piano expert and i usually don't listen to it much especially when it's solo like in this case but i can say it's decent enough for me

6.5/10

3. oh, i know that song now i recall how could i listen to it quite a bit with loop enabled just because it was good this was also one of the first song i heard from GET IN THE RING so it made a really good first impression on me (later diminished by listening to other stuff) regardless this one's good and mixed along with some a lil older memories so

8/10

 
Touhou Jihen - OHKAMIYOHOTOKEYO

It was okay. Fun, but I didn't get all that into it.

6/10
vegitotenks2002 - Complete Darkness

I do like the organ performance. I'm not too familiar with Complete Darkness (had to look up what it was), but it's mostly well-executed. Loses points for being a basic arrangement with little remixing.

7/10
GET IN THE RING - traumatic

I actually really liked this one. The vocal performance is stellar, especially the harmonies. Very upbeat.

Also sufficiently different that I'm having trouble pinpointing the melodic inspiration.

9/10 (I really enjoyed it.)

Sorry for the delay.

1: Touhou Jihen - Not sure what to call this either, but I rather like it.  It has a fun energy to it that reminds me of some Disgaea music.  8/10

2: Complete Darkness - Straightforward, but well performed.  A good piece on a good instrument is a good listen.  8/10

3: Get in the Ring - Fast paced and energetic, and so pretty fun. 8/10

 
OHKAMIYOHOTOKEYO

Very curious opening, with the oriental parts mixed with modern rock. To me it's pretty chaotic at the start, but it felt promising, and indeed the further it went, the better it got. The vocal parts in this are also super quirky, with got parts that feel sorta like monastic chanting but with rock in the background, and other parts that go all funky, and also parts that are melodic, which is where it starts getting properly good for me. I can't hear Kagerou's theme in this, though...

There's something which feels a bit same-ey throughout the song, but nonetheless this was super interesting to listen to. 7/10

Complete Darkness

No, please don't all start calling it pipe piano...

Woah, this looks difficult... at first I thought the slowdowns were intentional, but now I don't think they are. Sadly the number of mistakes starts increasing further into the piece, but hey, he's doing it live. He clearly knows what he's doing.
Anyway, about the actual music, it's Complete Darkness on piano... what more can I say about it? It's Complete Darkness on piano, and I like that. 6/10

Traumatic

Wow, this has a really good opening hook, a very energetic opening which pretty much sets the pace for the rest of the song. This is some non-stop rock that really doesn't let up. The vocal in this is very anime-feeling, and you can really feel the power when the chorus hits, and also when the opening part is repeated. Overall a very cool song, highly upbeat but also somewhat hardcore. 7/10

 
ROUND 4:

10: SoggatariaDuätschmatschInc. - Ukrainian Folk for 'A Soul as Red as a Ground Cherry'
A pizzicato arrangement with a helpfully self-explanatory title.


11: Stas Gavrik - Kitten of Great Fortune (Ambient Ver.)
Minimalist folk with elements of synth and another self-explanatory title.


12: AQUA STYLE - Six-way
"Folk rock," emphasis on folk, with a title that is not at all explanatory.

SoggatariaDuätschmatschInc. - Ukrainian Folk for 'A Soul as Red as a Ground Cherry'

i haven't listened it when i typing this, i just think "oh cool, ukranian folk!"
and then i saw the arranger name on the title and i kinda bit worried now..
she made uh... Avant-garde stuff

this next is after i listen to it

it starting out nice
but sadly the longer it goes the more chaotic it become
i'd say this one lack of focus, some part blend with one another, some even conflicting.

5.5/10

i had high hopes actually, probably because bias or something
Stas Gavrik - Kitten of Great Fortune (Ambient Ver.)

this actually reminds me of UFO and TD stage 6
wait no, Mound where Flowers reflect from PoFV is the closest one

the first 20 seconds feels too menacing lmao
this does feel ambient, and i just listened to Beach House - Space Song, that probably helps a bit with my mood (yes we've talked about how arbitrary our rating system is)
there's also curious vibes to it, probably came from the original theme.
and 1:42 that background melody thing is cute

this nice actually
aside from i feel the drum kicks is a bit too much hmmmm

7.5/10

full of decimals today eh
AQUA STYLE - Six-way

this very good, pretty solid, cant comment much.
is it middle east-ish? probably just my imagination, ive been wishing them lately.
and it does have a fair share of rock in it.

despite my eternal hate to their goddamn grindy technical precision game

8.2/10

why do i feel ken arranging the music ascending



 
Ukranian Ground Cherries

I generally like folk arrangements, but this one is so aggressive with the strumming that it almost drowns out the melody. I shouldn't have to put forth effort to follow the tune of a folk song. 4/10

Ambient Kitten

I was first introduced to Stas Gavrik's work when his arrangement of Doremy's LoLK extra theme was featured in an episode of Perldrop's SpriteSplit series. Minimalist/lofi Touhou isn't something I would think I'd like, but the guy pulls it off. 8/10

Six-way

Well, it's folk rock. It works, but I didn't find it very memorable. (Maybe I need to listen to Sumi's theme more.) 7/10

1. hmm that's something new and while it starts pretty decent it gets repetitive way too fast (i don't mind repetitive songs and in some cases may even prefer them) but this is too much i appreciate unique idea but that ain't for me

5/10

2. this one's quite good, maybe not to bang your head to but i could really see it as some mysterious (forest-ish perhaps) location in some game it feels quite calming and soothing thus why

7.5/10

3. oh no it's another folk-ish climate, and i bet it's a one of Genso Wanderer games ost but it doesn't sound that bad, i'm not that familiar with Sumireko's theme but

7/10
