First off, I'd like to wish my beautiful, genius girlfriend a very happy 25th birthday. She's my "Obsession Nocturnal," although Sixto's titling of this (awesome) ReMix is purely coincidental. Now, a bit of background: I have to admit, when Sixto first submitted to the site back in 2005, I had no idea how influential he'd end up being, and how consistent a presence as well. For whatever reason, I got the "submit a single good mix then disappear seemingly forever" vibe, but I'm damn happy I was wrong. This mix only solidifies what we've seen in the years since Juan's first submission - excellent music, an openness to collaborating with other artists, constantly improving skills, and of course, kickass guitar solos. Arranging SD3, this mix is SS at the top of his game. The ReMixer writes:
"The very first moment I heard this theme, I knew I had to rock the hell out of it. Started this remix a good while ago. I was in New Orleans trying to help take care of the mess Katrina left, working long hours every day, so the process of remixing this was slow. Over the years, I've rerecorded instruments, bought new VSTs, new samples, added new ideas... anyway, after working on this for about two years, I've finally decided I've done all that I could and it was time to submit. Hope you guys enjoy!"
You can really sense the refinement and improvement Juan's put into this mix. I could describe it in detail, but honestly, download it... if you're a fan of Kikuta, SD3, Sixto Sounds, or just great music, it's a brainy no-brainer that features loads of technique. Not just of the guitar variety, either - the arrangement here is intricate, well thought out, and substantive. Excellent stuff.
Kinda makes me wonder why I didn't do a search for SD3 mixes before this, but hey, better late than never!

There's only one minor question I have... I think it resembles 'the secret of mana' more than it does 'obsession' (I checked and double-checked with my SPCs, and I still think it resembles 'the secret of mana'...) - am I really as deaf as I'm now thinking I am?
I'm pretty sure this is correct, or at least the remix takes elements from both 'Obsession' and 'Secret of Mana'. The main melody definitely follows SoM.

Very impressive composition skills... nah, it goes beyond description; just listen to it.

Intro and outro has a bit of a novel feel (and makes me think it's related to either the Black Market segment, or Hawk/Lise's arc - obviously, it's time I started SD3 again).
Guitar is rocking. What else could it be from Sixto? That's right, NOTHING else.
The piano adds another element to the mix that would otherwise feel ... empty? Not sure. I love rockfests, but this feels more complete with the piano segment. It softens the mix. Yes, that's the wording.
Sixto proves he can consistently make the awesome musics. Another worthy addition to the 5-Stars.

Simply loving it!
Easily one of the most air guitar worthy songs on the site. You get a lot more out of this song if you have long hair. If there's ever an OCR version of Guitar Hero, make sure this is on it.
I couldn't agree more! I used to have long hair but I got it cut because my mother offered to pay me money, I used that money to help pay off my new guitar :P.

Nice work; this is the best guitar-shredding mix on OCR in months.

But, still, this remix is great. Humongously fantastic, I tell you!! ^_~

This takes all of his strengths and adds a great, unique arrangement to the table, and some amazing production.
Badass work, I love it.
