Discussion: Latest 15 comments/reviews; view the This album was amazing. I suppose I shouldn't expect less when the
source tunes are by Yasunori Mitsuda. But there are probably more
tracks on this project that I think are really great than on almost
any other OCR album yet. However, I expect Serious Monkey Business
to beat it *crosses fingers*

Okay I never posted in here so I'm going to start now.
I will confess that this is my FAVORITE OCR project album. Sorry FFIV and FFVII. =P And btw, I never did play Xenogears so I don't know the soundtrack as well as I do with FF. I do plan on playing Xenogears in the near future and hopefully I get to express my experience afterwards. This project was clearly about the music and not about fame. Amazing job everybody.
Oh and whoever talks bad about Avaris and his remixing, I'm gonna punch them in the face. :lmassoff:
No. Seriously. I will.
:nicework:

do you really think Mitsuda listened to it? you guys just pathetic.. As if, then where is Nobuo's response? ohhh the're none!
you can express you're "art" by making original songs but no one would even listen to it if there no great title behind it, right.. that's why I claim you suck!! you just using the name for spreading your "art". If you'd take money for this, that would be just ridiculous..
here is a great example how to make a proper remix:

you can learn something from him..
I'm not mad as much as amused, because this guy doesn't know anything about our history. :lol:
1. Yes, I believe Mitsuda has listened to the album. We have a mutual friend. Even if not this particular work, he's heard our community's music. We've been around for quite a while.
2. We don't need any original composer's approval to justify interpretation.
3. We have musicians in this community who make their living writing original music.
4. We've had a AAA game publisher contract our musicians for music to a huge franchise, and obtained excellent reviews.
5. Thanks for linking to a Donkey Kong Country ReMix by one of the staffers involved in the music selection process here.
6. Thanks again for linking to a Donkey Kong Country ReMix. The original composer is a fan of OC ReMix and participating in our next album with fellow game composers who are also appreciative of what OC ReMix is doing.
Didn't I tell you we win? We really win. :lol:

No clue about FFIV, but supposedly he saw a VotL shirt at a signing thing, pointed at it and said "That's awesome!"
I'll just say this - if there wasn't originality, then there would be no video game music by people like Uematsu or Mitsuda. Originality drives the creation of music like this, not conservatism.

If you claim that the original composer had it right and it
shouldn't be altered in any way, but then said composer says he
likes how someone remixed it... does that make gohito's head
explode, or cave-in?
Oh wait, he's banned. I guess he can't tell us.
So, not having any real experience with Xenogears, I must admit I'm coming into this album with no idea what to expect.
I like the strumming guitar in Avaris and Level 99's "Quickening". It's relaxing and peaceful, kind of like something from a well produced anime soundtrack. I can see a quite village, sunny days with perfect clouds, and someone sleeping on the side of a hill overlooking the houses below.
Vampire Hunter Dan's "Ship of Emotion" reminds me of some of the Yoko Kanno stuff from Brain Powerd and Escaflowne. I love Escaflowne's music.
CHIPP Damage's "Shit on Citan" scares the hell out of me.

Nice ban.
Anyway, on topic, nobody has the right to judge what is the right or wrong way to remix music. It's up to the individual artist to decide how they're going to interpret what they're remixing. If someone like this comes along and doesn't like it, obviously they've got a serious problem with creativity, or they just like to troll.
Either way, nice ban.

i think you're just jelous of are remixing abilitys, man.
seriously now, this is possibly the stupidest comment i've ever heard in regards to the art of composition. do you KNOW what an arrangement is?
someone ban this damn troll. honestly, no one's this stupid - this has to be an alt.
ps: what does money have to do with anything? do you see prices per download here? that's so totally off the wall, i don't even know what to say.
pps: you edited your post to include one of my favorite remixes - i agree! that's a fantastic example of a remix. that is not the ONLY way to remix, though. that's like saying that photorealistic paintings on canvas with oil paints are the only real forms of artwork. where does impressionism go then? what about stuff like the sistine chapel? that's not photorealistic, but it's possibly one of the greatest forms of artwork in western culture. by your definition, that's actually a TRAVESTY because the guy who created the images portrayed in that work (aka jesus) didn't make it. ridiculous!

Do you really think you are smarter than the original composer? only the original composer can add/remove the melody!
