The site has produced some wonderful stuff, but some total crap as well, as might be expected with any sort of fan art. I think the earlier states figure of 10% is just about right for me.
The problem is largely one of genre and tools. Most of the remixers have access to fairly basic synthesizers and limited production libraries, so most of the resulting tracks tend to have a techno sound. And techno is very, very easy to do wrong, or at least easy to do in a manner displeasing to me.
When I browse OCR, I'm looking for songs that are much like the originals, but with higher quality sound, like arranged pieces. Soule's sole contribution fits in that category, but there are precios few others, mostly piano themes. As a result, my favorite OCR pieces tend to be from the NES era, from which techno is a step *up*: Mega Man, mostly. The Mega Man remixes by Injury are stupendous, and they have the distinction of being IPOD'D.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
