Christmas/Holiday/Winter ReMixes

[Hyperion5182]

Its early yeah i know but i am going to be doing some entertaining. I would love an OCR christmas mix CD. I know of at least 2 good ones on here. Are there more? If so help me find them please! :D

[Fritz the Cat]

That might be the problem: I think there are only about two 'christmas' remixes.

I think you're fucked on this one. Unless you make your theme sort of a Chillout theme, then some folk on here can provide you with a list. Until then, uh, enjoy your two mixes? *shrugs*

[Kanthos]

Here's number 3. It's not an OCRemix (although it's probably pretty close to being OCR-worthy): Mario's Sleigh Ride (http://www.theoneups.com/music/TheOneUps-SuperMariosSleighRide.mp3) by the One-Ups.

You're not going to find much else that's Christmas-related here because it's pretty hard for mixers to make a mix that has enough interpretation of a game tune to meet submission standards but still includes enough of any other source material to be a Christmas song.

umm.... Mario's Sleigh Ride IS an OCReMix (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR00888/)

[dannthr]

When I was working at a game store, I compiled a Jazz remix CD with the few Christmas game remixes on it and it worked great for the Christmas Shopping Season. Sometimes just an instrumentation can have a Christmas-y feel.

[BardicKnowledge]

Here we go....

On OCR, you'll find the following:

Mario Sleigh Ride (from SMW)
Christmas Cave (from DKC)
Prehistoric Xmas (from Bonk's Adventure)
Christmas NiGHTS_MerryLittleChristmas (from NiGHTS)
Christmas in the Village (from Lufia 2)
Dirge for the Frosty Plains (from Secret of Mana)
Frosty Delight (from Megaman 8)

Go grab all of Dale North's Christmas stuff that isn't on OCR already (especially the FF1 sailing Christmas mix)

Then, Asheman's "Carol of the Final Fantasy Belles" is extremely good as well -- don't know where you'll find it with VGMix down though...give it a shot!

[Kanthos]

umm.... Mario's Sleigh Ride IS an OCReMix (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR00888/)

Go me :p

I discovered it through the One-Ups site directly, and somehow missed finding it when I downloaded all the OCR torrents and listened to them all to decide what I wanted to keep. Oops :)

[Mustin]

[sigh] Why does everyone put a hyphen in The OneUps?

Dale North and I will put out a Christmas EP later this year.

But right now is Halloween...

[DragonAvenger]

Anything with sleigh bells is good to go :P

Mustin's right, though, I would much rather have a Halloween mix thread!

[DarkeSword]

Mario Kart 64 Party in the Snowland http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01069/
Zelda, Ocarina of Time O Stormy Night http://darkesword.com/listen/remix/mp3/stormy.mp3 <-- very old, pre-FLStudio DarkeSword

[Forty-second]

I have a whole christmas/snow-themed playlist. I used the winamp generated html thing and copied it down onto a text file, if anyone's interested in scrolling through it. It's got quite a few OCR/VGMix tracks on it, as well as stuff from video games. Some of the rest is available free at The Internet Archive (http://www.archive.org/details/audio).

Here's the DL. Format is Artist - Album - Trackname (length). Enjoy! (http://www.sendspace.com/file/9q2mj1)

[Fenrir]

Thanksgiving ain't officially over yet, but I figured that if the retailers could do it before Halloween ended, I've got no problem jumping the gun by less than two hours.

So, post any wintery, Christmasy, or holiday...y ReMixes.

Post your seasonal ReMixes, and I'll add 'em to the list!

[Black Mage]

I was wondering when this thread would make it annual appearance.

[Fenrir]

All things come full circle.

I'm mainly just interested in making a Christmas playlist, so I figured the sooner this shows up, the longer I have to enjoy it.

[Jaswald]

Every year when this thread makes its round I always ask for the Christmas NES rap at the end of 8-Bit Theatre.

[Fenrir]

I'd link to the songs, but the only ones I know where to find are on OCR, and if you can't get to them yourself, you've got no business being on a computer.

VGMix is a mess, so that's out. I'll put some up on rapidshare or something if enough people want some of the other stuff.

[Culturekoi]

I like the looks of some of those non-OCR ones... If by "enough people" you mean me and me alone, I wouldn't mind a .zip or something of these tunes (seeing as how my x-mas playlist is dismal). But only if you really don't mind, so don't worry about it. :)

[Fenrir]

Ah, I hadn't even thought of that. I'll see if I can get around to compiling a zip of those sometime tomorrow.

[linkspast]

Every year when this thread makes its round I always ask for the Christmas NES rap at the end of 8-Bit Theatre.

I want a new rap...
Are there any after 2002?

[Culturekoi]

Ah, I hadn't even thought of that. I'll see if I can get around to compiling a zip of those sometime tomorrow.

That would be pretty cool of you! No pressure though, you've got a whole shopping season to do it :p

Also, I'd like to add a couple of songs to the OCR list:

Megaman 8 "Frosty Delight" by DjChako
Megaman Zero 2 "Cool Mind" by DragonLord
NiGHTS into dreams... "Soft Museum Jam" by McVaffe (this one's a bit of a stretch but whenever I hear it I think about flying arond a snowy mountaintop... Weird, huh?)

[DarkeSword]

Mario Kart 64 - Party in the Snowland!

[OverCoat]

Every year when this thread makes its round I always ask for the Christmas NES rap at the end of 8-Bit Theatre.

I wonder if you mean these ones

[supremespleen]

Not from video games, but these are enjoyable all the same. (http://www.djriko.com/html/mixmases.htm)

[SwordBreaker]

Even though it's not officially a "Winter" remix, I always get that vibe from Dragon Avenger and E-field's "Summoner's Love".

[sephfire]

A couple I did for a short-lived Christmas remix project last year. The first is a remix of a tune from an old animated film called "The Snowman."

Purity (http://www.sephfire.com/music/purity.mp3)
Carol of the Bells (http://www.sephfire.com/music/bells.mp3)

[AzureZeal]

Final Fantasy Adventure - Wish Upon a Wendellian Star

Purity (http://www.sephfire.com/music/purity.mp3)
Carol of the Bells (http://www.sephfire.com/music/bells.mp3)These are awesome.

[Barnsalot]

Wasn't there a holiday remix of the ship theme from the original Final Fantasy?

[suzumebachi]

'DeathontheSnowfield' is by AmIEvil, not Ailsean.

[Andromeda]

yeah since VGmix is really messed up I would like to get ahold of those mixes somehow. o.O

[irriadin]

Not a remix, but an amazing song nonetheless... Walking in the Air by Nightwish. From their Oceanborn album.

[Fenrir]

Wasn't there a holiday remix of the ship theme from the original Final Fantasy?

You mean Christmas Sailing? It's up there under the other category

[Barnsalot]

You mean Christmas Sailing? It's up there under the other category

Yeah, that's the one I meant. I don't know how I could have missed it up there.

[Fenrir]

Updated first post with ZIP of other remixes.

If anyone can recommend a better host than rapidshare, I'm all ears.

[Audity]

Haha no one mentioned this yet???

Final Fantasy 7 - Frozen Landscape (http://ocrmirror.org/ff7/MP3/3-11%20Tweek%20-%20Frozen%20Landscape%20(Buried%20in%20Snow).mp3)
from the FF7 Project.

Also, Ice Dungeon (http://www.sendspace.com/file/3uad8o) from Skies of Arcadia. And many other ice dungeons maybe.

http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR00166/

[jmr]

If anyone can recommend a better host than rapidshare, I'm all ears.
I've always used sendspace (http://www.sendspace.com/). No waiting times; you just can't download more than one file simultaneously.
Or, you could use Sharebee (http://www.sharebee.com/), which basically takes the file and automatically uploads it to other file hosting services.

Thanks for uploading them all, Fenrir. Snagging them now.

[Culturekoi]

You are super cool, number one!

In my experience, megaupload is a bit more stable than RS. But there aren't many choices for stuff like this (that I know of)

[Txai]

http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR00402/

[Fenrir]

Updated with a Megaupload and Sendspace mirrors. If they're finicky and obnoxious, I apologize.

[DragonAvenger]

Even though it's not officially a "Winter" remix, I always get that vibe from Dragon Avenger and E-field's "Summoner's Love".

This made my day, despite that it was posted a few days ago. :)

[Fenrir]

Bumpity bump!

I just bought "The Snowman" on DVD, and it's something I'll treasure for years. By extension, but by no means its sole merits, I absolutely love this interpretation and treasure it as deeply.

Any chance, though, that you could add in a section of your wife singing a fews lyrics? That would just top my holiday.

[BardicKnowledge]

I love the new stuff that wasn't on my Christmas playlist last year -- thanks for bringing this topic back!

[Fenrir]

............

[Dyne]

If you guys are interested in hearing some Non-game christmas music, check out the project that I'm running. It's due out December 22, and I think you guys will like what you hear so far.

[big giant circles]

Ziwtra's got a lot of good holiday-ish stuff.

He specificially referred to Final Fantasy Adventure - Gifts of Mana as "holiday poop".

Also, his Terranigma Blue (Shooting Star) mix is a good one. His "Skyline" makes me picture something like flying on Santa's sleigh. And of course, Secret of Mana Desert Snowstorm. Not only b/c it reminds me of Manheim Steamroller, but because of the jinglebells towards the end.

Also, Terranigma Aquamarine.
Also, Perfect Cherry Blossum Icy Peaks
Also, Zelda Eutopia Pagasi
Also, Secret of Mana Tidal Sequence
Also, Secret of Mana Aphrodite Oceanus
Also, Zelda Twilight Princess Tattered Slippers

I'll list more later.

[Fenrir]

Bump

Also, updated OCR songlist.

[Fenrir]

Er, not exactly what we were looking for.


Also, I love my DS so piss off.

[Sgt. Fuzzy]

Super Mario World - Super Mario's Sleigh Ride (Dale North, Mustin and the OneUps)

From the ashes...you live again! [/faux-dramatic thread bump]

[Kelaos]

Updated first post with ZIP of other remixes.

If anyone can recommend a better host than rapidshare, I'm all ears.

http://host-a.net/ Is good for very small files... don't think this ZIP would fit though =T

[The Biznut]

box.net is great for free individual hosting of files less than 25MB. Anything more than that is available to paying subscribers.

[jmr]

You guys realize you are answering a two year old question, right?

[Liontamer]

[sigh] Why does everyone put a hyphen in The OneUps?

If only everyone would stop with "OCRemix" too. :'-(

On another note, we may need to add a "holiday" tag to the mixes.

[The Mutericator]

You guys realize you are answering a two year old question, right?

You realize the question is relevant every time November/December rolls around, right?

[KennyFarino]
