OverClocked ReMix
 

Might as well have a catch-all thread for OC Remix.

They generally post good stuff, but I do have something to say.

Dear fucking god, djpretzel, stop posting tracks from Voices of the Lifestream. Yeah, we know you like it. We know you think it's fantastc. We get that. But, as you said when you were posting one of the tracks that Voices of the Lifestream torrents had transfered 70 terabytes. That should say that people are quite capable of downloading it without it being on the main site.

And yet, you keep posting the tracks.

Yeah, I get you want to promote it, get people interested with a few sample tracks.

But you've fucking posted half the fucking project. A 45 track project, no less. I mean, why bother having it be a separate album at that point?

That's just a gripe that I really needed to get off of my chest. You all may go about praising the site as it deserves to be now. Like how Mazedude is a pretty friggin' sweet remixer.

I prefer MCvaffe myself, I like Malcos, and Po! too, THe Project Chaos and blood on the Asphalt albums are my favorites.

Not everyone uses torrents, Fencer.

I mean, I guess spending eight million years downloading a single mp3 sounds totally great for some people but fuck that I just want to download it off the main site if it's there.

That said, I want to have snappleman's babies.

Actually, all the mp3s can be download individually from the project page. Which is linked to on the main OCR Page, on the albums page, and pretty much every post djp's made with a track from the project, and a few others since the album's come out. I just cited the torrent because he cited the torrent.

It's just I'd much rather have new tracks instead of seeing yet another VotL track, you know.

bLiNd and Alisean are my favorites. Goat! hasn't been around in a while but I love his work too. Disco Dan's got awesome techno remixes.

McVaffe rules all. I mean, Freestyle Dojo alone!

Oh God, OCRemix constitutes most of what I listen to. Altho' I tend to seek out my music there by game, not artist (I'm downloading my way through their Secret of Mana selection now).

Most of their Phantasy Star I, II and IV tracks are excellent, along with all three of their Little Nemo: The Dream Master tracks, and their stuff from Star Ocean, EarthBound, Tales of Phantasia, and Final Fantasy II, III and V. (And that's just off the top of my head, 'cos I'm listening to a CD of something else at the moment.) Of course, if I had to recommend one particular track at the moment, go check out "Fire Cross" by LuIzA. It's a screaming wild electric guitar mix that borrows musical elements from a bunch of different Final Fantasy games.

I see most of my favourites have been mentioned(Ailsean, Mazedude and Goat), I'm also a fan of Protricity especially for his/her work on Kong in Concert, Simian Symphony being a big favourite, also Snappleman for Thrash the Plank which I really love. Though admittedly I just love DKC tracks, especially Gangplank Galley.

Also The Wingless for One Girl in All the World. Drowned in Exile by Children of the Monkey Machine is also a favourite.

Edit: Forgot Fire Cross, that one rules.

goat's got a track up on the recently relaunched VGMix. The site is still a bit of a mess and confusing, but the song title's is Creeping Dusk (should be near the top here), and be warned, I think it's a 17 minute track (I don't remeber, and as of this posting, I keep getting a system maitinance message when I do anything other than browse).

goat, I loved. Children of the Monkey Machine's remix of the Undersea Palace tune's great. The Ken Song anyone? Come on, that's impressive. I am a big fan of a fair few of the Megaman X-series remixes. especially the Zero ones.
And just for kicks, the Jungle Version of Bubble Bobble.

Alas, you have mentioned one of the many OC ReMoved, those tracks that were retroactively deemed to be unworthy of further inclusion in the halls of OC ReMix. Many tracks fell to the sweep, including one of my favorites, The Black Lodge's "Ocarina Boogie" from Ocarina of Time(due to not using recognizeable in game music, only using the in game ocarina for an original composition). Some can still be found out there in tah intarwebz, but very few have the full collection.

I'll have to double check my lists, but I'm pretty sure I have all of the removed tracks, including the various 'releases' for April Fool's Day.
