OCRA-0010 - Radical Dreamers: Thieves of Fate

[MechaFone]

Wow, it's out!...I didn't even know this was up and coming, lol. I've never heard the whole soundtrack myself, but I'm hearing some very well contructed efforts in this soundtrack mix. Completely unexpected (on my part) and in every way a joy to hear, y'all start downloading -now-.

[SwordBreaker]

Downloading the torrent now. I also didn't expect this to be released. I didn't notice an official "comments thread" for it over at the projects board, too. Perhaps Taucer and co. are busy at MAGfest. Bet they're going to have a lot of fun promoting on the panel and such.

It's been an excellent beginning to 2008 so far. With vgmix finally launching, the biggest Dwelling of Duels month ever, and now this remix album...I've been enjoying the ride!

[SwordBreaker]

Just finished my first listen through. I love the fact that this album has a lot of vocals, guitar, and middle eastern influences. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the source since it's such a niche game. Here are some impressions of what stood out to me:



Thieves of Fate: definitely didn't expect vocals in this one. Who's singing? Prophet? Love the lyrics, love the singing, love the guitars, love the pop-rock feel of this song. My only complaint is that the vocals get a bit drowned in some parts toward the end of the track. Still though, great job overall, guys. Especially enjoyed the multilayering of the vocals at the end of the track, makes me wished this was used more. I'm assuming that level 99 did the electric guitar parts. Awesome work with that. Taucer rocks as usual.

Starbright: Very soothing track. Nice work with the sax as usual, Prophet.

Sexy Boy: wow...whoever you are, this track is excellent. Where in blue hell did you come from? The female vocals are very soulful and seductive. You've got an excellent voice. The trip-hop feel of the track is very Massive Attack-ish. Love the violin samples and occasional "cuts" in the track. I wonder if the singer is the remixer. If so, then this is one hell of a debut. If not, then again this is one hell of a debut. Minor complaint: more variation in the lyrics would've been awesome.

Snakebone Pit: of all of your tracks in this album, this one stood out to me the most, OA. Rock on, indeed. Nice orchestration in the intro. And when the guitars come in, it becomes a different beast. Love your playing, man.

Scar-stealing Girl: very nice combination of styles in this track. It's very mellow in the beginning (Taucer), then it becomes electronic mid-track (Ross). A surprisingly nice transition. Love the ethnic percussion.

Running After You: Ah...Darangen, one of my favorite remixers. This track has a very similar basic structure to "Collision"; starting out very mellow then blasting everyone with those excellent guitars. Loving this.

Requiem for Another World: very ethnic sounding. DA's vocals are "Cranberries-esque" as usual. While the singing didn't impress me as much as the stuff in "Sexy Boy", the harmonization of the vocals with the track are quite cool. Nice work, overall.

Hallucinogenic: the name of this track describes the vibe perfectly...immediately when those drowned out vocals came in, I thought this was going to rock. Love the Middle Eastern sounds and percussion. The distortion on the guitars are such an excellent effect, very "stoner rock" there. The guitar solo mid-track is like a cross of Jimmy Hendrix and Dream Theater. Nice acoustic guitar at the end, very Arabian. One of my favorite tracks of this album here.

That's it from me for now. I've been listening to my favorites over and over as I wrote these impressions, and everything still stands. To those who I did not credit and tracks I did not talk about, nice job. This album KICKS ASS.

PS: I demand lyrics for Thieves of Fate and Requiem for Another World!

[FiremanJoe]

Wow. I did a barrel roll- this totally surprised me. A great start to the year guys. Nice work.
*begins downloading*

[Didaji]

Downloaded it and listening atm. Very nice! But i downloaded the .rar full album from mirror 1, remix 6 was missing there, atleast for me.

[Shadow Wolf]

This project sounds great so far, even though I've only gotten to Thieves of Fate. The chord structure in this song, especially the chorus, is strangely reminiscent of Closing Time from Semisonic, and that's not a bad thing in any way shape or form. I only have one question:

Can we PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get an instrumental version of this song? The acoustic work is amazing, and I'd love to hear it alone.

The chord progression for the verses is supposed to be based on the second half of the original track, where the pace speeds up (and in the game you see the mansion etc), where as the chorus is the progression for the main melody

[Shadow Wolf]

Complete Project Review:
GREAT project. The whole thing is an amalgam of very surprising instrumentation choices, ethnic instruments, and smooth jazz sounds. It’ really unlike most of what we’ve seen here before. I’m one of the few human beings that has actually beaten the game, and it does an excellent job of interpreting the soundtrack.


Days of Summer:
Nice subdued opening, great acoustic work, and a sweet lounge music sound. It helps that this is one of the best themes in the history of gaming, but you did a great job with it.


Thieves of Fate:
The chord structure in this song, especially the chorus, is strangely reminiscent of Closing Time from Semisonic, and that's not a bad thing in any way shape or form. The piano and guitar work extremely well together, and the backbeat works as well.
I'm a little bit iffy about the electric piano coming in at 3:42 and 4:32, not because it's a bad patch, but it sounds harsh in tone and volume as opposed to the rest of the soundfield. I didn't really care for the e-piano riffing at 4:32 especially. I really like the inversion at 5:32 as you swing into gear for the end of the song. (At least it sounded like an inversion to me, maybe you just moved the whole shot up an octave higher.) I don’t particularly care for the vocals, but I almost never do.


Fury and Tears:
This mix has a really good energy to it. Sounds like a Benny Hill chase scene in some places, but the electric guitars make up for it. Good take on the original theme though.


Starbright:
Excellent sax work, right from the gate, and amazing work weaving channels together without overloading the mix. The beginning has a nice busy street jazz sound to it, reminds me in a lot of ways of the soundtrack to SimCity 4. If the background sounds are any indication, this is a live performance, which makes it even more impressive.


Loneliness:
Neat decision bringing the piano and guitar in on the exact same line. This immediately shows a great new age/electronic flavor. I like the bongos as well. Good synth work all around, it can be hard to mix that with orchestral and make it sound really good. The build at 3:32 into the electric guitars was subtle, unexpected, and I liked it a lot.


Thrash’s Snakebone Pit
This makes me think of James Bond, and I have no idea why. It’s big, it’s overblown, and it’s fun. It’s a very Monty Norman-esque mix. Adventure, danger, spies, and really loud guitars.


The Scar-Stealing Girl
At the beginning, I’m not even sure how to classify this. Synth, definitely, but what else? It’s got a really slow, deliberate backbeat, and I like the kind of low-fi quality of some of the samples up ‘till 1:52, where we drop into an excellent piano solo. Actually, an unbelievable piano solo. It’s sending tingles down my spine. Wow. I love piano solos, and this is an amazing arrangement of the theme. The electric guitars at 2:45 only help it. Then at 3:22 we whip out the Bongos and go really electronica. Nice ping-ponging with this section. It bounces back and forth over my headphones. Good panning work. I like the (basically) guitar solo at 5:02, and the music box is a wonderful touch. This is the best mix of the album in my opinion.


Running After You:
Darangen doesn’t do orchestral. 10 bucks says it goes electric before 2 minutes. Oh, I was right. Still though, great work with ethnic instruments at the opening, and the trademark Darangen shred still sounds great. You’re weaving between orchestral to industrial. That is just f***ing impressive. This mix kicks ass. Great work, you never disappoint.


Requiem for Another World:
What instrument is opening here? It sounds vaguely like a panpipe, but I don’t think it is. There’s a very nice ethnic music quality to this, there’s a lot of instruments I’ve heard before but I can’t identify them. I actually like your voice work here, it fits well. You have my permission to keep it. :P


Fuego Frio:
Is that an accordion? For some reason this reminds me of another song I’ve heard that was supposed to make me feel cold. Originally parts of this sounded like they had a Russian flavor to them, but I’m also getting kind of a waltz/flamenco/tango vibe as well, which is probably closer to what you intended, since the mix name is Spanish. Either way, a very well done waltz mix.


Hallucinogenic:
The voices! They’re back! Were any mushrooms harmed in the creation of this mix? Because it certainly sounds that way. Great production and mastering work to make it sound like that. Part of it is the nature of the mix, but my only complaint here would be that it wasn’t significantly musical. But who cares what I think?


Confronto Finale:
Hooray trance! Nice shift to orchestral using the drum line, that was sneaky. There’s a lot of pent up energy in this song, and even though it’s energetic, it just feels somewhat like it’s never entirely let out. But it’s still a great mix. Good work switching so seamlessly between orchestral and electronica.


Summer’s Dream:
Marimba. Now there’s an instrument you don’t hear every day. This project has a ton of ethnic instruments. It does a beautiful job portraying the theme though. It’s quiet, contemplative, and it has a really great resonance. Last time I heard a marimba used like this was the Riven soundtrack. Furthermore, I’m astounded that you just did 7 minutes and 41 seconds of solo marimba and I didn’t get sick of it. Way to break the mold with this one.


Le Tresor Interdit:
Epic. Clarinet for the lead is a really interesting and awesome decision. It really carries the mix well. The acoustic work in the back of the mix fills it in really well. This is really a great example of the flavor of the entire project. Great mix, great project. Nicely done.

[DragonAvenger]

Wow, thank you!!

[FiremanJoe]

I'm listening through now, and quite enjoying it.
-Great opening track.
-Totally agree with the comment about Closing Time
-Didn't like the vocals on Sexy Boy much. I'd have preferred for the track to get glitchier I think.

Question: Will we see a lossless version of this, or at least consistent bitrates among the files?

[Sappharad]

A pleasant surprise. I've always enjoyed the Radical Dreamers music.

Question: Will we see a lossless version of this, or at least consistent bitrates among the files?
I'd like to 2nd this request. A lossless version would be nice if possible.

[Erzeal]

Love this! Another fantastic release from OcRemix!.
Every track was a winner for me except track 6 Sexy boy.
Evidentially others like it but it just wasn't for me.
But other than that track just a great release. I hope people take notice of this release!

[Black Mage]

Damn, I must really be out of the OCR loop at this point. I never even knew this project existed. 8O

It does make for a nice surprise, though. :smile:

Me thinks your are not the only one. I didn't know about it ether. lol

[Shadow Wolf]

Dude, that's a saxophone.

Dammit! As I was listening to this, I was actually thinking "That sounds a lot like a sax, but it definitely sounds like a clarinet too. Sax or clarinet? What is it? I obviously went with clarinet, which means I am now the proud owner of [Epic Fail]. So is it an alto sax, or what? I'm not too good at id'ing the different types.

[eternal Zero]

That's definitely a saxophone, I would know since my main instrument is clarinet and I play tenor sax on the side. It definitely isn't a tenor I can tell you that and it sounds higher so it has to be either an alto or a soprano. The main melody sounds like a soprano, but the background licks sound alto-ish...but I'm almost certain the feel tells me it should be more of the same instrument...so I'm not sure of which myself. If I had to put money on it, I'd have to say it's a soprano saxophone.

[The Damned]

I'm just glad you guys went after the FF7 album first. That's a big act to follow. :<

You are correct, sir. It is an accordian. Hmm... Russian, eh? I didn't quite intend that, but I'll consider it a welcome bonus. :P Thank you.

[Shadow Wolf]

Don't know if anyone's aware of this yet, but track 6 is completely missing from the direct rar file download. Someone mentioned Sexy Boy and I hadn't heard it. That would be why.

EDIT: Nevermind. Keep it.

No, not really. For one thing, nice to see you back, Elly, haven't heard from you since Dark Side of Phobos. Now, as for the mix.... As a piece of music, I like the sound. It sounds like a Linkin Park/Nelly Furtado mashup more than anything. Very Mike Shinoda remix flavor to the instrumentation, reminiscent of some of Fort Minor's stuff. I like the beat chopping. BUT... it doesn't fit with the rest of the project. Not that stylistic changes are bad, but I think what hurts this one most is the lyrics. Your voice sounds great, but the lyrics are just silleh. A little more work there and it could've been gold. But keep in mind I am HARSH on vocals and lyrics, so take it with a grain of salt.

[SwordBreaker]

Man...I can't stop listening to Thieves of Fate. It's my favorite track of the album because of how damn catchy it is. Guitar work and song structure rock. And those lyrics and singing kick ass!!!!

[fil_razorback]

This CD deserves all my consideration and I want to thank each and everyone of the contributers for their awesome work.
I'd buy it if it wasnt free and I need a Thieves of Fate T-shirt =)

[-RK-]

Thieves of Fate T-shirt =)

B-RAD!!! Make me one.

my favorite song was the first track, but out of curiosity, darangens track, running after you, was also used in the dwelling of duels contest.Is it allowed to use a song already posted somewhere else for an ocr site project?

[Liontamer]

my favorite song was the first track, but out of curiosity, darangens track, running after you, was also used in the dwelling of duels contest.Is it allowed to use a song already posted somewhere else for an ocr site project?

Nope. That's not a problem.

[prophetik music]

lol at zircon. for some reason, when i tried to make a thread here (when there wasn't one) i wasn't allowed to. go figure.

i appreciate all the good comments and critiques coming at us. i'll answer a few questions.

1. assuming i can get files from everyone, i'd love to do a lossless version. not being an audiophile myself, i didn't really think of that. my track (starbright) is on my stolen computer, so the only reason you'd get lossless of that is if i got it back - other than that, i was going to contact everyone soon and get some files from them if at all possible.

2. dude, that's a saxophone. vibrato usually means no clarinet. and besides my solo track, everything's done on my alto for the project. lastly, yes, i did sing Thieves of Fate. doug did the arrangement, taucer did the acoustics and the electric for the first half, level 99 did the electric on the chorus and all the heavier distro stuff, and i did the vocals and the sequencing and mastering.

3. yeah, track 6 is missing from the rar. that's because i'm an idiot and missed it. i'm trying to get in contact with everyone now.

4. ellywu2, primarily a vgmix guy, is a dude. he used voices from a sample pack, i'm assuming, because they aren't live in the he-recorded-them sense. also, since i had every one of his vgmix mixes, i know he had more than 15 or 20 tracks on that site. he ain't new, but he is damned good, isn't he? one of my personal favorite mixers. SO glad he was able to finish his track.

5. shadow, if you pm me to remind me in like three or four days, i'll get you a version of ToF without the vocals in it. also, starbright was a live saxophone octet, recorded by me (SSAATTBB)

6. eternal, the way you can tell it's not a soprano is because the break isn't the same as the clarinet. soprano sax and clarinet have their breaks pretty close to one another (concert concert B-C for clarinet and soprano, while alto is E-F concert).

if anyone has any other questions, don't hesitate to ask. i really appreciate all the extra work everyone on the project did (and guys like djp and liontamer on the ocr side of things) to get everything ready to go.

thanks for all the comments!

[The Pezman]

Way to remix your old remixes, Tweek.

EDIT: Realized that sounded snarky. I actually thought it was interesting what you did... the parts you kept never had any actual bearing on the Team Rocket melody so it seemed okay to use them as background for a similar style of track. Was it because you were in a time crunch for your mix or because you thought the stuff you did before was applicable here?

[jmr]

I'm part way through listening to the project now for the first time, and so far, it's pretty impressive.

(and now, the reason I made this post:)
I'm listening to track 4 (Starbright), and there seem to be several obviously unintentional clicks in the song. At first, I thought it might have been just a botched torrent download, but they're also there in the MP3s mirrored on the site.
The clicks become most noticeable around 1:44, 2:10, and 2:38. It almost sounds as if it was ripped from a damaged CD or something.
Normally, I'd ask if a fixed version could be posted (I'm very nit-picky about this kinda thing), but given the circumstances, it's probably not going to be available.

Instead, I've taken the liberty of attempting to 'repair' the track. I've done my best to preserve the unaffected parts; all of the de-clicking was applied manually and very selectively. I've also encoded the MP3 at a higher bitrate in an attempt to reduce transcoding losses.

Again, nice work, everyone! :)

To be honest, I really am not sure what you mean.

What I can tell you is that the majority of my mixes on the site and for projects are being posted out of order of when I first did them. In this case "Confronto Finale" came WAY before "TEEM.ROKIT" so if there's any carryover, it would have been the reverse :-). In fact, "Confronto Finale" was the first song I did after "Final Panic." Damn, that makes me feel kinda old....

[OA]

Mirror site 4 doesn't work.

Looks to be good to go now. :-)

[OmegaDonut]

To be honest, I really am not sure what you mean.

I'm fairly certain what he means is that you've used many of the same synths from Confronto Finale in TEEM.ROKIT and REAKTR.1. I could tell Confronto Finale was one of your mixes within the first few seconds of hearing it, but the most telling sign was that gated synth that shows up around :50. It's one of the ones that really stands out in TEEM.ROKIT and REAKTR.1, too.

[fil_razorback]

I joked about a ToF Tshirt in my previous post but I might get serious about it.
Would it be possible to obtain a high-res ToF logo with transparent BG or black BG so I can give it to a Tshirt printer guy ?
I wish I could set up the whole thing for everyone instead of just me (some websites do "group offers") but I'm not the coordinator of ToF and I live in France (far away from most of you) so I'm not the ideal person for this task.

[Shadow Wolf]

5. shadow, if you pm me to remind me in like three or four days, i'll get you a version of ToF without the vocals in it.

Sweetness, thank you!

[Kizyr]

I'm really loving this album--I can't stop listening to it! Both VotL and now ToF--this has been a great year (er, well, a great last-couple-of-months) for projects here. Though, since the main Distant Promise theme is one of my favorites, I was already looking forward to it.

Just some quick comments on a couple of the tracks here... I'm not all that great at reviewing, so these will be brief:

Days of Summer V2: really great opening track--love the strings

Thieves of Fate: incredible--as good as the first track plus singing. I'll probably be humming this to myself for the next week or so at least.

Scar Sealing Girl: thought it started out a bit slow, but around 1:50 it picks up and gets really, really good.

Requiem for Another World: another great track, and I really like DragonAvenger's voice here

One more thing... This might have already been mentioned, but at least one of the mirrors for the .rar of the full album (mirror 4, I think) is missing Track 6 (Sexy Boy). It's not a huge deal since you can just get the individual tracks, but it's something you might want to take care of. KF

[avaris]

Thanks dude! :) The intro is a dizi bass flute. It's used throughout the main part of the mix to play some harmony too. It's from a free VST I got form Kong Audio. They got some of the best free shite on their site EVAR! There were two different Kalimba samples used. There was also a shamisen too. The guitar sound is a physical modeled synth.

Thanks for your comments so far everyone!

I really gotta thank DA for working really hard on this song as it went through many changes over the time we worked on it!

Retlaf who contributes to Tha Sauce also contributed to this song. The main part is based off of his arrangement from Chrono Cross on Tha Sauce.

Oh yeah to Ross Kmet and Fishy...I hate to admit it. But the arrangement of Facing is awesome! Really enjoyed and audio trickery Ross! Damn it was worth the wait...hehe. :razz:

the clicks you hear aren't artifacts, they're the natural sounds of pads closing. you're hearing the g# key of my soprano sticking, actually.

[jmr]

the clicks you hear aren't artifacts, they're the natural sounds of pads closing. you're hearing the g# key of my soprano sticking, actually.I'm not quite convinced. Even though I'm admittedly not that familiar with saxophones, I'm pretty sure that what I'm hearing isn't a closing or sticking pad (well, I'm hearing those too, but that's not what I'm talking about :-P) The clicks I am talking about have a very distinct sound. Even when looking at the file in an audio editor, the two sounds have a very different appearance.
http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/1609/specdq3.jpg
On the left is one of the louder of the pad closing clicks (from approximately 0:21). Notice how it's longer and unevenly spread among the frequencies. Compare that to the image of what I believe to be an unintentional click (0:41, right channel only), which is compact and evenly spread out among the frequencies. It seems unlikely that this sound is caused by a closing or sticking pad. Actually, it more closely resembles the kind of click you might hear on a vinyl record:
http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/6121/herbalperttijuanataxicllt9.png
(the scale is different in this image, so it appears narrower.)
It's those clicks which I attempted to clean up, not the natural pad-closing clicks.

Also, please know that I'm not trying to start an argument or anything like that. I like horn arrangements in general, and I sincerely love the song (and the rest of the project, for that matter!) I'm just, like I stated before, very nit-picky when it comes to this sort of thing.
Too picky, perhaps.

[DrumUltimA]

wtf is that an ultrasound or some shit

[Shadow Wolf]

It's a really nice frequency analyzer. You get it in programs like Adobe Audition. Also, your mix is going to have a baby, and it's a boy. Congratulations!

[SwordBreaker]

Prophet. Favor. Thieves of Fate lyrics, please. :)

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anyway DRUMULTIMA IS HERE TO DELIVER:

The mansion, it looms ahead of us
Not a hint of light inside
She's standing right in front of me,
Her braid swinging side to side
The thing I fear the most is that
the devil will set my faithful soul ablaze

These corridors stretch forever
into never ending darkness
I listen very carefully
but the silence is deafening*
A whisper could be heard for miles
and a spark would light the room like fireworks

I feel the apprehension of my comrades by my side
Better hold on real tight cuz it'll be a wild ride,

Chorus:
Oh you know I've
Been gone for a while
Lookin for that
Cold rock made of fire

And I don't think that I will come home soon
But when I do, will you still be waiting

Oh baby please
Don't leave the lights on for me
Get yourself a
Good rest, I'll be fine, you'll see

I won't be back till my journey's through
But I can't wait to come home to see you


From the atrium to the ballroom
To the lady in the clock tower,
We get more lost as we find our way
With each unfolding hour
There's not limit to the mystery
contained within this history unfolding

We freeze upon the sounds of footsteps
sneaking menacingly
A skeleton appears now
his skull grinning devilishly
I reach to grab my knife as I prepare for this battle's fatality

With the demon slain, she looks at me
with those deep blue eyes
But I gotta resist temptation
And keep my eyes on the prize

<CHORUS>

Oh the Frozen Flame
Lies just in sight

[SwordBreaker]

Thanks, DrumUltima! Gonna be singing along dozens of times thanks to you. :P

[DrumUltimA]

it's catchy as hell aint it :D

[OA]

*This line was SUPPOSED to be "But the silence is relentless"

Yeah, relentless is way better IMO.

[prophetik music]

i think so too. just couldn't get the exact room sound on the re-record, it always sounded way different. i had to stick with it =(

also, the lyrics are available on vgmix as well, under that song's description page.

[Battousai]

Simply put, the quality on this album is the best of all the projects on OCR. It may not have the huge names, the glitz and glamor, or the epic proportions of some of the other projects, but it more than makes up for it in consistency. This is a beautiful compilation of tracks. More remix projects should be like this one. Small, tasteful, thoughtful, delightful. Great job, dudes.

i really appreciate this comment. and i'm sure all the other mixers on the project feel the same. =D

Definitely.

Thanks broski! Although usually I consider myself Big, Tasty, Thoughtless, and Delicious.

[Antipode]

This is a fantastic project. No kiddin'. You've nailed several aspects of that intricate RD atmosphere in this music, and much of it is actually catchy! What this has over many of the other projects on this site is the consistency of style - this "emotional, generally downtempo but wide and atmospheric stuff with a rock edge" vibe comes from all the songs, and I think that's pretty crucial to making a more convincing "real" album. You guys have a pretty amazing piece of work here. Congrats to all!

My personal favorites are Days of Summer V2, Scar-Sealing Girl and Hallucinogenic. Those 3 need to all be submitted without question (I'm glad to see one has already been posted) - but I really enjoyed the whole set. This, along with Project Chaos and Rise of the Star, are definitely getting lots of listens by me.

[Grenseal]

Man what a great album. I didn't really know what to expect from this but after giving it a listen I'm glad I didn't waste any time downloading it. I really enjoyed the overall feel of the album and needless to say it has a permanent spot on my playlist. Great work to all those involved.

[xa hoi van minh]

Awesome album! I'm really diggin' Scar-Sealing Girl.

I'll have to join the "not quite feelin' it" party over Sexy Boy, though. It sounds amazing and I love the execution, but it seems to be the odd-one-out in terms of lyrics.

BUT... it doesn't fit with the rest of the project. Not that stylistic changes are bad, but I think what hurts this one most is the lyrics. Your voice sounds great, but the lyrics are just silleh.

[Dhsu]

The vocals in "Thieves of Fate" are amazing. That is all.

[prophetik music]

thanks, dhsu. =)

[SnappleMan]

So anyone figure out why darangen stold that song?

[Radiowar]

I've listened to this album a bunch of times now and I just can't get into it. It's not terrible or anything, and there are a lot of promising ideas for the songs here, but the execution is lacking for the most part.

'Sexy Boy' is one of the few songs that I feel like the ideas really came through. Fuses trip hop rhythms with intricate and developed electronica very effectively. The vocals here work very well. My other "favourite" is 'Days of Summer V2'. Great energy and sound, also a great choice for the opening track. The rest of the songs were just alright to me.

Not to single it out or anything, but I felt like 'Requiem for Another World' is the one track could've used a lot more work. The vocals here just don't work as well as they did in songs like 'Sexy Boy' and 'Thieves of Fate'. They're pretty jarring. The singing isn't that great either, the vocals are frequently off-key and there is a whole lot of unnecessary scooping in most of the larger interval jumps.

That aside, congrats on the project everybody.

[Dhsu]

CUMSHOT SIGHTED

Kudos to the pianist responsible for such subtle execution of said musical ejaculation. You know who you are. Freaking WIN.

[prophetik music]

So anyone figure out why darangen stold that song?

would you just shut up already? we're trying to get in contact with mike. he didn't steal the damned song. please just let us figure out what's going on before you blow your bullshit everywhere. it's really annoying. approach it like an adult, for goodness sake, rather than a vindictive child.

until further notice, mike (darangen's) track is being taken down to check on some issues. it might go back up, it might not. if you've got a question (other than WHATS GOING ON, we'll address that when we know for sure) please pm me. don't post questions about it in this thread.

[BardicKnowledge]

This album is the best put-together group of tracks I've ever seen out of a fan arrangement -- ToF will be the first OCR album that I'm going to actually print the labels for instead of just burning it at my desktop. Thanks to everyone that's put time into making this happen, especially over your Christmas / MAGFest seasons, and thanks for the awesome New Year's present!

I hope you're joking.

[Dr. Rod]

Great project all around, my personal favorite yet. The vocal work on many of the tracks was exceptional. Also this motivated me to check out some of the source material; the interpretation was great. The spotlight on the remixers and thier backgrounds was a nice touch too....its interesting to learn more about the people behind the music. Well done.

[prophetik music]

thanks, man.

[DragonAvenger]

Since I somewhat avoided the other project tracks (in order to experiance it at release myself as well), I'm ready to weigh in my opinions.

Overall, the vibe of the entire album really sets a nice tone. I've found it strange when OCR project don't have an overall theme, and ToF showed me the force of having such a connecting factor. Now, tracks.

Days of Summer V2 - LOVE the violin work on this, especially when it's throwing the countermelodies in. The guitar work is really nice too.

Theives of Fate - I'm jealous of DU's lyrics, what can I say. It's not fair! :) I will admit, with no offense to Proph, that I liked DU's voice better on this. I liked it when it was rougher, which Brad's polished voice obviously doesn't have. Regardless, still quite a good performance on all mixers parts.

Fury and Tears - Really, out of all OA's tracks (which I give him such kudos for picking up all the spares out there), this is the one I disliked the most. A tough song to work with, so I can't really blame him.

Starbright - Saxophone Octet. Amazing. Only gripe is the tuning that you couldn't fix because your computor got stolen. So I can't really gripe.

Lonliness - OA, again doing a nice job. This one really does feel like 'lonliness' with the opening of solo guitar. I was a fan of this track. I like when the track picks up, as well.

Sexy Boy - This one I really had not heard at all before release, and I was surprised by it. A good track, and really well-produced, but it felt a little out of place with the rest of the tracks.

Thrash's Snakebone Pit - I know how hard OA worked on this one, and I can really appreciate that. Really hard track to work with, and Andrew did a great job.

Scar Sealing Girl - Love the piano on this, and the overall vibe. I love chilling to this one.

Requiem for Another World - I could go on and on about this track, but I'll keep my thoughts on this short. The lyrics aren't really written to fit the track as well as they could. Regardless, I worked hard on this and am proud of what I have here. Perhaps someday I'll relook at it. LOVED working with Retlaf and Avaris on this!

Fuego Frio - Waltz fits this track so well. I was really pleasantly surprised by this one. Go accordian.

Hallucinogenic - A great atmospheric piece. Nothing more I can say about it. The whispering kinda creeps me out.

Confronto Finale - Love the driving feeling of this. It doesn't lose intensity, which I liked most about it. Maybe a little repetative.

Summer's Dream - DU, did I ever tell you I love solo marimba? Love this track.

Le Tressor Interdit - Really good saxwork on this, and I'm glad I got to be a small part of it. Eventually I'm going to record my own lyric interpretation to this song.

Overall I was really pleased with this album as a whole, and I think everyone did a great job on it.

[prophetik music]

darangen's track should be back up relatively soon. we're retagging it to fit some copyright issues.

[Shadow Wolf]

So, can I ask what exactly happened?

[xa hoi van minh]

So, can I ask what exactly happened?

Also, since I have downloaded the file already, a heads-up on the track information changes would be cool...?

[OA]

basically the current version, if you play it backwards summons Fishuh to do some Hogwarts magicy shit. It's causing some issues.

Also, there is an additional source track that needs to be credited in the tagging. Brad (aka Littlespoon McBitchface) will have teh infoz for you in the thread later on.

DU sang on this before? Very interesting. Would've been cool if his voice remained in the final version as background vocals or something...

Regardless, I'm still listening to this track. Catchiest one in the album.

[DragonAvenger]

Confronto Finale

WHOOPS...That's what happens when you only read the first half of the word, eh? Changed, and my apologies.

[DrumUltimA]

I couldn't get my vocals to brad without getting a chunk of the instrumental track, and i couldn't get a rerecording of it to him in time, so he just finished it on his own.

[prophetik music]

Also, since I have downloaded the file already, a heads-up on the track information changes would be cool...?

we've gotta credit Red (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_(band)) as well, since a significant amount of the arrangement came from one of their songs.

[DeepChild]

Fantastic album, and a very pleasant surprise! It has been entertaining me for more than a week, and I'm enjoying it even more now that I know what to expect from each track. Thanks so much!

[-RK-]

Omgthisalbumisghey!

[Zen Frazier]

Great album and a great effort by all involved. My only complaint/request - and this echoes what someone else posted before as well - is for a higher bitrate or quality upgrade. Is there any chance of a FLAC version being put up?

Otherwise, it all sounds good. Nice work! :nicework:

[prophetik music]

*Cries one single tear*

[Puissance]

I'm liking a lot of the music in this album. I feel reminiscent of both Chrono Cross and Chrono Trigger at times, and I wish I could've played this one too.

I'm particularly diggin' the marimba solo on Summer's Dream. But maybe it's because I'm a sucker for four mallet pieces. :mrgreen:

One thing, did anyone notice that Requiem for Another World is spelled "Requeim for Another World (Requiem)" in both the tag and file name? I fixed mine after I noticed it, but was wondering if it was noticed--i.e. planned on being corrected. If not, people will probably get it when they look at the file anyway, so it's not that big of a deal.

Great work guys!

[DragonFireKai]

Goddamit, I know I'm late on the bandwagon here, but I just got around to listening to the Album. I'm a massive fan of the Chrono series, and in particular its music. I always have high expectations when I download something that's based off of the series. This album took my expectations, and stabbed them in the face. To say I'm impressed would be like saying that Crysis has okay graphics. Best Album thus far, by far.

[skypher]

Excellent work, guys.

I second the request for lossless versions and shirts :)

Also, do you happen to have the chords for Thieves of Fate?
They'd be great on acoustic guitar, and I'm too lazy right now to figure them out myself. :roll:

[DrumUltimA]

verse:
F#- F#-(maj7) F#-7 B
F#- F#-(maj7) F#-7 B
F#- E B C#
F#- F#-(maj7) F#-7 B

repeat that

F#- E B B
F#- E B C#

Chorus:

F#- D A E
F#- D A E
D C#- B B
D C#- B C# (maj)

F#- D A E
F#- D A E
D C#- B B
D C#- B C# (maj)

[skypher]

First the lyrics, now the chords. DrumUltima, you're my hero, having me saved a bunch of work :mrgreen: Now I can just start playing! :)!!

[prophetik music]

note that there's a key change or two in there, you'll have to figure them out yourself.

that also doesn't count the chords for the bridge...but once you're in the feel of it you'll be able to do more with figuring out those sections.

[Ouberion]

THE BIG NOTE: I had problems trying to format this...it looked good in Notepad, but everytime I copied it over, it crunched everything together, even if I typed multiple spaces. So, in order to keep the spacing right, I put the underscores (__) in to help. I'm working on the remainder of the piece, let me know what you guys think. I'm working on making a score of the whole thing (or at least a piano reduction). Perhaps, some TAB?

Song: Thieves of Fate

Note 1: This chording starts from when it picks up tempo, not at the beginning. But you knew that, already, didn't you?

Note 2: I'm not used to seeing a - as a minor, so I'm just putting the usual m instead. Shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Note 3: I tried to be as in-depth on strumming as possible, in case anyone is trying to match it. Most of it is on 16th notes. Here's the example of what my "measures" look like, although it will get spaced out for chords:

Hi guys, I think this RD is very very goood. I cannot believe.

Let me just say you guys are awesome. You really inspired me. For the longest time, I listened to the Radical Dreamers music, and you guys have taken it to another level. Thank you, all of you, for your amazing work.

[zerodays]

this is an example of an excellent post.

Hi prohey, sorry in advanced/previous if I made any selfish request :tomatoface:. Since this is a feeback section/etc, I shouldnt have requested other OCRs.

But I really find RD excellent. :) and was wondering any similiar style mixes, as there are just too many 'okay/good' ones here in OCR.
I'm now visiting some of your soundclick :-P.

lol, there's a lot of 'okay/good' ones on my site, and by that i mean mediocre.

[Jaybell]

I really like this album. It is pretty, and there are a bunch of songs on it that I can not stop listening to (Days of Summer v2, Summer's Dream, Starbright, to name a few).

Also, Halucinogenic is amazing.

[Yogarine]

I downloaded this album on release day but never really got around to listening all of it (too addicted to Voices of the Lifestream I guess) but recently I have been starting to listen to this album at least once a day. Great album!

Just one request, and I know this has already been asked, but being an audiophile, I would _really_ like to have a lossless version (preferably FLAC) of this album. Especially Days of Summer V2 suffers a lot from the compression.

Anyway, keep the great albums coming! OC ReMix needs more albums like this, small yet outstanding.

[Zen Frazier]

Been listening to this album again... for the first time. Actually it didn't make my regular rotation at first release, but lately I "rediscovered" this one (similar to Yogarine above) and I really enjoy this one. Just wanted to say: Thanks! :nicework:

Oh and I echo the request for FLAC if it's at all possible at some point, but otherwise what we have is surely much better than nothing at all. :-)

[Yogarine]

Yeah, I would also like to push the lossless request once more. Burning audio CD's using mp3's is just so... Unprofessional... :-P

[LuckyXIII]

Finally dl'ed the album.

I really like it.

Days of Summer V2 makes me think of Firefly.

[DJMetal]

I love this album. If I could, I'd make Days of Summer V2 my theme song. I love pretty much every song on this one. Holy crap. I'd also like to say I have a special place in my heart for Thieves of Fate I totally dig the vocals.

[Skullbullet]

Thieves of Fate (Days of Summer) is basically one of the best songs I've ever heard.

Same with Scar Sealing Girl. I have a morbid obsession with that song.

This album rocks. :D

[LuketheXjesse]

Just wanted to go ahead and say that

Darangen's track is AMAZING. One of my all time faves.

[SwordBreaker]

Man...never played Radical Dreamers nor I'm familiar with its music. This project has so much soul it just turned me into an instant fan. I still have the Thieves of Fate track in the loop. Listening to it right now reminded me of how awesome this project is. It's truly one of the best vocal remixes of OCR in my opinion. Awesome singing by prophet, awesome acoustics by Taucer, awesome electric guitar by level 99. Surprised that it's never been submitted to OCR as a track.

[prophetik music]

i never officially submitted it because i recognized that while it's a great concept, it's poorly mastered and has a bunch of mistakes in it. i've wanted to revisit it for a long time, but can't decide just how about to go about it =)

[DrumUltimA]

[prophetik music]

and we do every magfest!

[SwordBreaker]

i think we all want to revisit it ;)

I remember hearing from DragonAvenger that you're the original singer. Would be cool if you did backing vocals or interchanged certain verses with Prophet should you guys ever get back to remastering it. You've got a pretty cool voice...remember first hearing it from a DoD track (a remix of Sakura's theme, was it?).

[evktalo]

There's (at least) two crazy awesome tracks on this album: Starbright and Fuego Frio. Both have this similar warm, acoustic sound, both are beautifully yearning and both are endlessly enjoyable. Thank you prophetik and Abadoss for them!
