The energy here was excellent, much like Meak Streak on Main Street but taken to a higher level. Nice work, Ari. Sub that CT mix from a few years ago, that was gold too.

Fantastic return! And from one of my favorite games of all time, no less. Glad to see you come back with more quality.
BTW, the inclusion of the "main" Metal Slug theme was a nice touch.

Awesome mix. Percussion and guitars are brilliantly done.

Oooh...I recognized this and couldn't figure out where I'd heard it before. So that's where I remembered it from. Wonder what the deal is?

Woah. Protricity. Didn't see that coming at all. I still blast Neighburgers all the time. This is rockin' stuff.

Holy crap, it's Prot. It's been a LONG time. This kicks ass. It's not quite as full on as some of your other pieces have been, it sort of backs off the top end of the EQ (Comparitively, at any rate). But there's a lot of variation,layering, and a great sonic variety. It's reminiscent of Neighburgers, which incidentally also kicked ass. Great work, and welcome back!

Prot certainly improved his skills with this track.

Definitely a keeper.

I echo that. Welcome back to OCR, Protricity.

Holy Christ on a stick. Protricity has deigned to bless us with a new work of his.

To be honest, I don't really like it as much as a lot of Prot's mixes, but that's more indicative of the ass-raping level of awesome to which his other songs aspire.

Yay for being unbanned. Yay for Protricity.

Oh. Dear. Lord. Protricity has returned. Automatic awesomeness.

I can definitely see the attention to detail in the synths/leads that djp was talking about. Clearly very nuanced and refined. Still, I'd have to say I prefer some of Prot's older stuff over this. Even though the production was slick and the arrangement was driving, I didn't feel quite as much intricacy or complexity as from some of his other works....

Drums and leads are fantastically sequenced, very creative and varied.
Some of the samples I felt were a little fakey, like the rhythm guitar, but everything was mixed cleanly and it certainly rocked, so minor issue in the grand scheme.

The solo at the halfway point was pretty badass, way to rock. \m/

A really great remix, classic Prot style, the only thing I didn't like was the bass mixing. Sounds way too loud to me, practically overrides every other element in the mix... maybe I'm just crazy since no one else mentioned it...

The bass is a huge driving point of the original.

This track is an excellent example of taking the original and building amazing new complex parts on it. As far as instrumentation and style it doesn't deviate from the original that much (which is fine, since MS3 has probably the best music of the entire series, this track being one of the strongest), but it's built on very well. Nicely done, Prot.

What a great remix. Metal Slug 3 is a great game, and this music serves it well.

While the energetic parts of the remix are quite good, I find myself enjoying the breakdowns more. They have come a long way since Sauzer posted this in WIP, and I really, really dig the way the rhythm guitar is incorporated (especially from 3:10 onward).

However, I feel that the remix could have used a bit more variation, or should have been somewhat shorter. There's just not enough variety for five and a half minutes. Or so I think.

Nevertheless, good work.

Another great guitar track. I've missed your work. Welcome back.

Hmmm... I'm torn on this one, because on the one hand, it's Protricity. The man can do no wrong... (well, when it comes to making music, anyway :-P) but at the same time, I feel like this one lacks the emotion and heart of some of his other mixes, especially the DKC2 mixes. I can still appreciate the sequencing here from a technical aspect, but in general this just doesn't do it for me, for some reason :|
