Rayman Remix Album - would you be interested?

[Flexstyle]

I hope this is the correct forum, as I couldn't post this in the Projects forum (I may not have enough posts or something). Would anybody out there be interested in helping to create a remix album for the original Rayman? I've got all the source material as MP3s, as the PC version of the game just had the music in plain old CD Audio format. Why Rayman? It was the first game I ever really played, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It turned me into the gaming freak I am today...*nostalgic sniff.*


Replies along the lines of "You're way off base" or "Sure, I'd be interested in helping with a remix" or even "It'd be cool to see at least" would be nice.

How bout "We have over 11 projects running right now and can't handle anymore"?

I got the urge to quote that. For emphasis :)

[Flexstyle]

Ah, ok. That makes sense.

[Tensei]

Besides, if ANYTHING, the next project will be an F-zero GX character theme remix album. I STAND BY THAT. >=|

[Theory of N]

can't we just keep it a not-a-project-at-all project?
.. like.. don't even come up with ideas! :D

[Argle]

The original Rayman had awesome music, especially for its time. I think it would be a cool project.

Agreed. Maybe instead of a full-fledged project, we just need to convince some people to do Rayman mixes independently -- there currently aren't any on OCR. Or maybe I'll just do one if I can find the time.

[Argle]

I really haven't been on these boards for about a year and a half, but tbh it seems like most of the projects aren't really going anywhere. I don't see the problem with another project. If it succeeds that's awesome, if it ends up in limbo like most of the other ones, no real harm done.

There is the problem, there are too many projects for any real coverage from ReMixers.

Yeah but it seems like no one is really doing anything. So it's not a matter of not having enough people, it's that the poeple involved are too lazy.

NOW who's the one that makes god kill kittens!?

well, bullshit :3
While not everyone IS working at full speed, most (not me) has a life too. Organizing a project is hard work too, so is getting hosting, whipping people's asses, artwork and general pimping.
You're welcome to start a project btw, it's just that it will fail but still take up space and making people hope for something that just isn't happening :/

[Argle]

lol I don't see how my two sentences are contradictory. If most of the projects are going nowhere, there should be ample remixers for a new one. :lol:

they're going nowhere because the remixers are busy with thousands upon thousands of other projects! One more project will NOT finish the other projects. Cut the guys trying to finish up some slack

Uhh...if you see how OTHER projects aren't going anywhere, what makes you think a new project is suddenly going to come out great with l33t mixers presenting l33t mixes and l33t album covers done in a l33t amount of time?

please don't answer btw. Less you want a facepalm macro posted.

[Argle]

Um, okay. :lol: No Rayman project.

[Skrypnyk]

I thank you. I really do. I have no problem with the odd person making the odd rayman remix, but plz just keep it at that.

[Flexstyle]

Well, I've decided I'm going to at least attempt to remix a couple Rayman songs. I've already started on a trance remix of Betilla the Fairy's theme, and I think it's going to be my "next big release" (as opposed to an original song or something lol).

[Argle]

I've got a load of arrangements I'm working on but I'd really like to do a Rayman mix some time.

[A-RoN]

I'd give it a shot, of course, I'd need to check out the original soundtrack first, which sounds quite awesome.

If anyone needs a recording of the original (or rendition of the) soundtrack for reference, listen here:

(sorry no downloads)

[The Pezman]

Yeah, before we tear into Flexstyle, I think we ought to consider. Maybe keep this on the back burner for a while. A few projects (Pokemon, Tales) do seem close to finishing. If we wait a bit hopefully those can be released, and we'll have Rayman stacked up in the project queue, so to speak, to work to on next.

[DarkeSword]

Yeah, but: who is Flexstyle?

Seriously, if you're gonna run a project, don't be a newbie. People have to know who you are and know that you're capable of running a project. You need some notoriety and/or clout.

[atmuh]

ds comes in with a kick in da balls

[The Author]

Actually, he is suggesting a project, simply think about it, and I think people able to organise such a feat will try to do so, when time permits.

I'd like to hear it. Rayman was the first game I really played on P.C. (or figured out how to run a DOS game).

I do agree, there's lots of projects going on, heck, the Kirby Milky Way Wishes project has been going on for over a year! I do remember a Banjo Kazooie remix project, but it fell through. Not to mention the Star Fox project, and others...

But I've never even submitted a song, cause I have no talent. So I guess I should just butt out...

[Fishy]

So it's not a matter of not having enough people, it's that the poeple involved are too lazy.

Thats true for some projects and not others. Be very careful about insinuating that any supposed lack of voluntary contributions made to projects that most co-ordinators put lots of effort into are attributed to laziness. People have lives to run and jobs to go to.

And yes, the lack of active established ReMixers IS the reason newer projects lack interest. Every now and then something really interesting comes along that everyone wants to take part in, but you have to be compelling enough to rope the big names away from their duties to perform on your behalf. A picnic ain't it?

[Arek the Absolute]

projects are soooooo easy to run
trust me

[Escariot]

Agreed. Maybe instead of a full-fledged project, we just need to convince some people to do Rayman mixes independently -- there currently aren't any on OCR. Or maybe I'll just do one if I can find the time.

Make your requests here in a couple weeks.

I think I told the same thing to Mewtation at MAGFest re: Golden Sun projects. I mean, I've been around for quite a while, failed at a remix submission, working on a project at the moment, and have some shitty originals sitting around. I don't feel that I'm qualified to take on a project.

One of the best things to do if you REALLY want to see some tracks remixed from a game is post in the requests forum, or find something like the Freshly Baked Challenge, where you can request song(s) to be remixed.

It has already been said a couple times, but there are too many projects right now.
A few projects (Pokemon, Tales) do seem close to finishing.
Doom 2, Seiken Densetsu 3, Pokemon, Super Mario 64, Dragon Warrior, Tales Series, Crescendo to Chaos, MegaMan 4, Dirge for the Follin, Super Dodge Ball, Kirby Super Star... All of these projects are currently in the Projects forum. We either need to finish these projects, or purge the dead ones. Along with those projects, people are working on individual mixes, working on original music and albums, working jobs, working through school, and general life commitments.

Maybe keep this on the back burner for a while.

This is what happens to "Back burner projects"

[José the Bronx Rican]

As far as I'm concerned, we could have a million projects running; the thing that keeps them from gaining traction at OCR is not enough good talent able to provide enough free time for them. But I actually appreciate anyone - vet or n00b - throwing ideas out there regardless. Nothing stopping us from going out on our own with a project if we can't drum up enough interest here (ask Brad the Prophet about Tetrisphere). I'm officially interested in 90% of the projects out there now, but my lack of time is keeping me from any real participation. (My official status: in on a DKC2 project, in for two tracks on Follin, collabs with djp and zircon, about to beat all of you to death with my OWN project: Yuzo Koshiro in 4 volumes! :twisted:) Rayman is no exception, but I agree about getting a good rep here first. I'm sorry I missed out on Project Chaos. The least one can do, I suppose, is call dibs on a concept and hope everyone honors it until you're seriously ready to go. Yes, there is a selfish motive behind that last sentence... NOBODY TOUCH YUZO.

[mousemuffins]

Dude, you joined three days after me. 'Sup?
I haven't played this game in years, but I do recall it had catchy music. I would help if such a project were started, but there are enough going already and you do need some clout to start one.
I feel sorry about the Zelda project...that game had an excellent soundtrack. (Actually, that was about the only reason I finished playing it. That and the magic rod which made things go asplody.)
Incidentally - and perhaps I should ask this in a new thread eventually, instead of dropping it into this one - what do people think of a Spyro project?
