Now we're talking :) While NoppZ' return after a long hiatus came with a respectable ZAMN ReMix, this is him back in true full force, with a fantastic Kefka mix done carnival-style for quite the wild ride, with the Decisive Battle theme thrown in for good measure, and a heapin' helpin' of latin piano motifs and brass hits. We don't really have too much in this vein here on OCR, and NoppZ pulls off the hybrid latin/techno sound with aplomb. It's hard not to move to this when it gets goin', which is fast - dig the piano solo nearing the third minute mark, the chromatic riffage left and right, and the emphatic ending. This just sounds like something the ReMixer had a blast making, and that energy translates into a positive musical vibe that borders on excess but never becomes chaotic, and has a lot of verve. NoppZ, perhaps a little woozy (or maybe it was just late), writes: "So yes. This is another ff6 remix with two well known and lovely themes :) and A catchy name?. yeah :) i think so. This time kefka is going....?..?..... CARNIVAAAL :) HAHA.. well im getting crazy.. I hope you enjoy this mix. Im submitting it with this mail. its like 4mb Of size!" - indeed. Well, no one ever said lucidity or sobriety via email were directly related to musical knack, and now NoppZ is a living refutation should anyone claim as such. Seriously, though, this is creative genre work in a different style we don't see often, with lovely agogo, deep kick and bass that will shake the very foundation of your living quarters, and great syncopated piano work backed up by quality brass section hits. It's just a lot of fun, without sacrificing musicality, and is pure, 100% NoppZ in every way. Recommended.
