It's ironic that right now I'm more psyched than ever about the future prospects for OverClocked ReMix this year, and yet many might think things are slow as we're posting less frequently. Let me assure you, there's good reasons for this. Most recently, I finally went back and made copyright/publisher a relational field, so now you can quickly see all the Sega ReMixes on the site (or one of those other companies like Nintendo and Squaresoft ^^) - yeah, it's no huge deal, but it's still the type of thing that makes sense, saves time in the long run, and does add some extra value to the database. T-Shirts will also be available for purchase VERY soon - a project over a year in the making, finally seeing the light of day. My point is that these things take some extra time and do affect the number of mixes posted, but are long overdue and beneficial to the site in numerous ways. Right then - this here is Russell Cox's latest submission to OCR, though it predates his more recent tracks and has just taken awhile to see the light of day here. It's a little different from his other pieces - more deliberate, and while not minimalistic is pared-down in comparison. The majority of the track is cinematic, flowing harp and strings in 3/4 with oboe and horn appearingly intermittently. Things get more dramatic towards the end, and there's some mean old dissonance that works very well in shaking the listener out of any percieved safety. What I enjoy most here is the subtlety - everything's right there in front of you, sure, but you have to listen to each nuance, each dynamic, to fully appreciate the depth. I also love some of the chord changes and intervals and the instrumentation Russell's chosen. I find this ReMix deceptively good, something that warrants listening and relistening to get everything out of. Glad Russell decided to send it in, and I think it adds depth not only to our collection of Final Fantasy 7 ReMixes, but FF at large and Russell's ouvre as well. Recommended.
