[Dunther]

A great mix. Loved it in Project Chaos...

9.37 / 10.00

[DrumUltimA]

good snappleman, good. :)

[Jaybell]

More project chaos goodness! Hooraaaaay!

[jmr]

Yuck, what happened to the encoding? As soon as everything kicks in at 0:22, the quality loss due to the sloppy encoding is evident, even on my crappy laptop speakers. The higher bitrate version hosted on the project's site sounds much better.

This track was definitely one of, if not the best on the project. The synth work is frickin' amazing.

[Inimitable]

If they ever make a Guitar Hero game filled with nothing but OC ReMixes, players will be cursing the name of Snappleman as their blistered fingers attempt to recreate his wholesome goodness.
Thankfully, you can already create one yourself. Doom "Purgatory" and Zelda OoT "SoS" have already been done.

As for this mix, I enjoyed it in PC, and I enjoy it now.

[OA]

I've been a fan of this one since the project came out, and it still rocks.

I am in love with all the synth solos and the guitars are ok too.

:-D

[Dhsu]

I'd keep my orifices open for Snappleman anytime.

[WesPip]

Y'know, the opening bit of the song made me think it was an April Fools-type thing, only in July.
Then, the actual song started.
It was epic.
So I'm not sure how I feel about the opening, but once the REAL music starts, this song's awesome.

[Martin Penwald]

I like the intro. Adds a little fun to the remix.

Everything else: the usual Snappleman goodness. This time it's not only about kickin' guitar-solos, but also snyth ones. Amazing stuff; really gets your blood boiling.

[WesPip]

I like the intro. Adds a little fun to the remix.

Yeah, I can see that. Still exudes a little bit of an OLR vibe to be, but maybe that was just on the first listen.

[predcon]

Excellent tech metal comp. Big Tip!!

[Shining Mirage]

Has been sealed in my iPod forever. 8-) Thanks SnappleMan!

[TonitoX2]

Someone either needs to make a guitar hero II expert hack to play it in the game, or a frets on fire version. it's just too damn good. I can't get enough of it and it definitely pumps me up when I am doing cardio lol

[about:blank]

This has always been one of my all time favorites from Project Chaos. I agree with one of the other reviewers that this does sound slightly lossier than the version on the project's site, but I could hardly notice it over the sound of Snappleman's guitar playing kicking my ass all over the place. There's not only a great performance here, but also very solid production.

Also, I might be wrong (and probably am), but to the people addressing the sound in the beginning, I'm pretty sure that's what you hear on the last stage of the game, right before fighting Robotnik (Eggman?). Anyway, it's a very awesome and creative touch in my opinion, and only adds to the already high level of kickassery in the mix.

[RenoDJ]

Awesome track. Weird enough I downloaded this track without looking at the artist's nickname and it started playing and at 0:55 I was sure it was Snappleman :-)

Great, great, great!

[Dante L. Wolfe]

Just finished listening to it 4 times and man this takes me back. I hated that boss! x3

[SynthesizedStampede]

Dudes. This mix is F'IN GOLD. On my trip to Hawai'i I played this song the most, turning it up on my iPod to the max and just bobbing my head as we drove around the island. It took me back and was just so damn awesome.

If you're a Sonic fan, DEFINITE download, like, as in now. Go, click it. You won't stop listening to it: I've played it like 10 times in a row every other day for awhile and haven't gotten sick of it. The song just rocks THAT much.

[Shadix]

I love this song.


But hmmm...

I just noticed that cleverly placed Judas Priest reference. (Skip to 2:33)

[SnappleMan]

Wrong song man, you're thinking of The Doomsday (also on Project Chaos).

[Shadix]

That's what I get for not confirming a rumor myself. :E

[Dragonmind]

[Also, I might be wrong (and probably am), but to the people addressing the sound in the beginning, I'm pretty sure that's what you hear on the last stage of the game, right before fighting Robotnik (Eggman?). ]


If that's Eggman, then the other laugh is Sonic mocking him.



Damn good ReMix, One of my favorites ever!

:sleepdepriv: :arrow: 8-O Impresses me everytime.

[Duokun]

Always gotta love a remix that includes a retro aspect of the game (properly might I add). This is one awesome remix. The control with the different guitars was simply splendtastic. I smack a "win" sticker on this mix.

[BlackPhantom]

Of all the songs from Project Chaos, this is probably my favorite! I love the intro; Original sounds are played, and then, a heavy, rockin' guitar strings in. Rock on!

[Marmiduke]

I have very little to say that can actually convey the concentrate amounts of awesome that flow in the veins of this beast, so I'll simply say this:
When a mix utterly owns me on Audiosurf, I get happy. Real happy.

[Pachi Risu]

Entertaining from 2:03-2:13. Good remix.

[WillRock]

Project Chaos is for me one of the best albums to come from this site, and the one I can identify most with, and i'd say this track for me is my fav of the bunch.

The intro is a great idea as you can picture sonic running through the death egg zone just before the final battle commences... then the guitars hit at about double the volume and they really hit hard.

Things hit full force pretty quick and you're treated to some heavy guitar work, shredding guitar leads, and blistering synth solos that really make this one essential.

Production is about as good as it can get, and the performances are spot on, but the synth solos really take the spotlight, which are just allover the place, and excessive without becoming boring.

My only slight problem with this mix is the lead guitar work as it sounds rather emotionless when there is no shredding going on... you need more expression in your playing :P

However, this mix as I said is essential. Your OC Remix playlist simply isn't complete without it. Download it now :D

[Consigned to Oblivion]

Ah, the remix that started it all for me. A friend linked me to this track on AIM and it immediately took me back to hours spent trying to beat Robotnik at the end of Sonic and Knuckles.

Being a guitarist myself I was sucked in as soon as the guitars started. I love the arrangement as it keeps the 'Sonic vs Huge Overpowered Badguy' theme and the excellent guitar work along with the synth is right up my alley. There seems to be a lack of bass after the intro but everything else is solid and very enjoyable. I like the mix title too, nice pun!

Awesome stuff and a great intro for me to the world of vgm remixing!

[Holy Land]

This is so ****ing badass.

[Crulex]

One of the many reasons why I love Project Chaos. Pretty cool how it starts off with the game SFX before ripping right into the heavy-guitars and drums. The soloing and the fast paced shredding brings back memories of facing this guy at the end of S&K. The production and arrangement are top-notch and this ReMix has "epic" written all over it. Very tasty final boss ReMix.

[DarkAura]

... as awesome as this mix is, I just can't shake the feeling that in looking for filler to make it your own, you ripped a piece from Judas Priest's "Electric Eye" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQ96oEwYrE8). Go to 2:06, and compare it to this song at 4:03.

[KyleJCrb]

Methinks you're confusing this remix with SnappleMan's arrangement of Doomsday on Project Chaos, which definitely and intentionally rips the solo from Electric Eye. This remix does not, however.

[DarkAura]

This remix rips from Electric Eye. Go and listen.

[psychowolf]

This remix rips from Electric Eye. Go and listen.
I will reiterate what others have already told you.
ok the part you mention 2.05 in your link correct?
Ok now go to herehere http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=S0Qu2eSjepw#t=200s
Perhaps you'l realize once again that you are wrong in this aspect.

Beside this i love this remix, pretty much the entire reason i started checking out other remixes beside sonic games.

[KyleJCrb]

This remix rips from Electric Eye. Go and listen.

No, it doesn't. It's 'The Doomsday' (which is on Project Chaos, but not on OCR) that rips the 'Electric Eye' solo, not this remix.

[DusK]

This mix. Oh man. This is the mix that unarguably is the most inspiring to me. This mix is the one that made me decide beyond a shadow of a doubt that I wanted to plunge head-first into VGM remixing. To this day, it remains my favorite remix.

Nice, crisp guitars, a clear, complex synth, AMAZING lead work, everything about this track is just too awesome for words.

[Magellanic]

I've been listening to Project Chaos again this last week and damn, I just love this track. Have to say, though, that I really enjoy all of Snappleman's mixes on on the album. The arrangements perfectly balance between keeping the original and embellishing to heighten the original's awesomeness. When I can one day rock as good as this, I'll die happy!

- Also, +1 to everything DusK said
