For Immediate Release

Contact: David W. Lloyd, dlloyd@ocremix.org

Today Music 4 Games (http://www.music4games.net), the premier resource for news and reviews about Video Game Music, posted an exclusive advance review of the upcoming OverClocked ReMix album, Final Fantasy VII: Voices of the Lifestream. The review is available at http://www.music4games.net/Review_Display.aspx?id=97. This review marks the first time a freely available, fan-made album of game arrangements has been evaluated alongside commercial video game soundtracks on the site.

Reviewer Jayson Napolitano writes that it "doesn’t get much better than this when it comes to arrangement albums," calling Voices of the Lifestream "one of the most impressive and encompassing listening experiences in the world of video game music." More information about the album, which will be released freely online this Friday, September 14th, can be found at http://ff7.ocremix.org.

Hundreds of free game music arrangements and a thriving community of game music fans can be found at OverClocked ReMix's Web site, www.ocremix.org (http://www.ocremix.org/forums/../).

Coverage at Destructoid (thank you, Mr. North)

[Torzelan]

Damn, can't wait
Not going to bother rewording; that's exactly what's going through my head right now and probably all the way come Friday.

[The Pezman]

::deep breath::

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!

[Jaybell]

All this did was get me even more hyped up for this project!

Not that that's a bad thing...

[Antipode]

Man, this is great, but why didn't some of the others get this kind of coverage?

[zircon]

Well... this is the biggest OCR project ever, arranging Final Fantasy for the first time, and specifically arranging the most popular of all FF games. Additionally I've been trying every step of the way to make this the most professional release possible: a very high standard of quality for all the remixes, uniform bios + photos from all mixers, etc. Perhaps most importantly, since the last OCR project release we've become more of a part of the VGM community at large. We have more contacts and clout now than we did before. In short, people take us more seriously :)

[Miletus]

We are going to have to digg the shit out of this project on friday

[Dunnowhathuh]

Holy crap, I actually forgot about this project. Geh, should be ashamed of myself. Anyways, 2, wait, 3 more days (friggin timezones), can't wait!

[Brushfire]

We gotta wait till Saturday over here in Japan. >____< Lousy International Dateline.....

[Arcubalis]

Yeah, do us a favor and digg the crap out of the M4G review!

[The Legendary Zoltan]

Yeah, I'm over here with the Saturday crew too. I just know that Nobuo himself is gonna contact OCR and djpretzel and Zircon are both gonna get to meet him. Those lucky sons of bitches! ^_^ Can't wait to see a thread about that.

[herograw]

The article makes it sound as though Bound Together was specifically an ocremix project, which is unfortunate. Anywho, this is gonna be huge.

[Jaswald]

It's liek freestuff friday!!

I've been waiting for this project 2 years now. yesssssss.

(Not to say people havn't been waiting longer but...)

[Bahamut]

Yeah, I'm over here with the Saturday crew too. I just know that Nobuo himself is gonna contact OCR and djpretzel and Zircon are both gonna get to meet him. Those lucky sons of bitches! ^_^ Can't wait to see a thread about that.

Actually, Geoffrey Taucer already got to meet Nobuo once in a chance run-in at a Chicago airport (I'm guessing O'Hare International).

I saw Nobuo earlier that night, cuz he was at PLAY! at the Chicago Debut. I was there too, duh. I didn't get to meet him. I think GT was coming back from VGL that night.

[Jillian Aversa]

Just a few hours to goooo....!

[Least100Seraphs]

Has an exact time been set? Stupid American timezones being 16 hours behind Australia...

... I mean, I love America and its FF7 OCremix album*!

**Until after I've downloaded the album.

[The Legendary Zoltan]

Geoffrey and Taswald are some lucky mofos! That's OK. I'm saving myself for Motoi Sakuraba. He'll probably never stop being my favorite. But I would still DIG IT if I could meet Nobuo too. That kicks ass for you guys. ^_^
