Relaxing OC ReMixes?

[Vince]

Hi all, I was just curious if anyone has particular suggestions for relaxing mixes. You know, stuff that one might listen to while trying to study or just before going to sleep.

While doing either, I typically listen to stuff that isn't too bass heavy or fast-paced with minimal lyrics.

Mixes like JigginJonT's Silent Progression F-Zero, Wingless' OneGirl In All The World Metroid, Klutz's 600AD in Piano, and SGX's Ico Save Me mix just to name a few.

I have not stayed current with all the new material so I'm looking forward to your suggestions! Have a good one!

[OverCoat]

Mine is pretty relaxing imo that's really all it's good for

I have another remix about to be posted that is similar.

[Moseph]

One sort of recent one that comes to mind is Giana's Homecoming (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01607/).

[Moguta]

Genso Suikoden 2 - Reminiscence (Deep Sleep) by Hazama (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR00347/) is probably -THE- most relaxing mix on the site.

also:
songs by Pot Hocket
Metal Gear Solid 2 - May Fortune Smile Upon You by Vigilante
NiGHTS - Good NiGHT by prozax
Secret of Mana - Pure Lands (Total Darkness) by Children of the Monkey Machine
Secret of Mana - Dirge for the Frosty Plains by Matt Pollard
Secret of Evermore - K-PAX for Evermore by mazedude

[Zombie]

Zelda 64 - Pachelbels Ganon by DJP
Metroid Prime 2 - Torvus Clockwork by Darkesword

Those are some of my favorite "relaxing" OCR's.

Best advice I can give you is to download everything by the artists you've mentioned yourself, then pick random remixes and see if you run into something you like. I've found lots of cool stuff that way, and I haven't heard everything yet.

Here's from my calm stuff playlist. Some are more relaxing than others. Note that some of them aren't listed with their game, it's because they're from when I was bothered by seeing the game in the song name. I'll contain it in a quote box to make the post cleaner.

This may be the most relaxing music I've ever heard in my life. It's also one of my favorite remixes and I've never the played the official game.

I hope you listen to it and enjoy the hell out of it.

I made a megamix of relaxing OCRemixes/VGMixes (http://pastebin.com/f1c7d7ce6) ---> Aural Pulchritude (http://audity.escaprism.org/movie/iidx/VGRemix%20Community%20-%20Aural%20Pulchritude%20(Audity%20Megamix)%20-%20Disc%201%20(MP3).rar) / (flac (http://audity.escaprism.org/movie/iidx/VGRemix%20Community%20-%20Aural%20Pulchritude%20(Audity%20Megamix)%20-%20Disc%201%20(FLAC).rar))

^tracklisting.

I've gotten a compliment on it via PM for exactly the purpose the original poster wants. Personally I wouldn't be able to focus on studying with this type of music. (Energetic or even meaningless music like gangster rap actually does a better job of that.) But the guy via PM didn't seem to have a problem so try it out. Right now I'm enjoying djp's Chinatown(BadSushi), which appears to be a really underrated mix. I wouldn't mind listening to it forever from a relaxing standpoint.

(If anyone is interested in sending me lossless audio files for their remixes, I'd be willing to have them for these editing purposes. [Which is at least one reason (http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=13901) why having FLACs would be useful.])

Guess I'll make a list for individual song purposes below.

pretty much anything by quinn fox except his Umaro FF6 mix

[Gollgagh]

Zelda 64 - Pachelbels Ganon by DJP
Metroid Prime 2 - Torvus Clockwork by Darkesword

Those are some of my favorite "relaxing" OCR's.

I fully endorse this post.

[Darth Lime]

Disco Dans "Riptide", a Donkey Kong Country mix. I love it so much.

[Equinox]

Electric Clouds - po! - Chrono Trigger
Forest Birdcussion - Protricity - Donkey Kong

Just two of my favorites.

[your the man now dog]

final fantasy 2 town tribute by noppz
final fantasy 4 rydia by kaijin
zelda 3 crystals of kakariko by protricity and noppz
final fantasy 7 sleep my sephy by pot hocket (dunno if its a ocr. on votl)

[Txai]

http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01024/

I really like this one.

[Infinity's End]

I know it's already been said, but I just wanted to emphasize Disco Dan's "Green Amnesia." It's phenomenal.

[Vince]

Hey, thanks for the responses everyone! I'll be sure to check them out when I have more time after I get through with my exam finals (wished I would have had your suggestions while studying for them!).

Take care, I'll share some more of my favorites and comment on your suggestions when time permits!

[AkumajoBelmont]

AlisiaDragoon "HallsofAbandonment" by LastUnicron

Right ON! Probably my most favouritest-est-est remix ever in the history of ever... along with Homard's/Homer Simpson's "Fists of Alloy".
Halls of Abandonment also happens to be infinitely superior to the source tune in every way (and I'm a BIG fan of Alisia Dragoon and the OST).

Edit: Also mutagene's Shadow of the Beast remixes are absolutely divine... especially the remix for the second game.

But really, all of the Doom remixes are excellent stuff.

[Contricity]

Midnight at Club Corel from FF7:VotL

[Yuna]

Hi! :)

I'm looking for remixes (from this site) that are relaxing/calming. Anyone know of any?

[dPaladin]

[Yuna]

Thanks! :)

[wiredzombie]

You'll probably not agree, but I have memories attached to BUS! by Shadow (Earthbound Remix)
But thats just me
Calming...

[LuketheXjesse]

Beneath the Ashes from OCR's Project Chaos album. Best thing ever.

[Catharsis]

Far Away Memories (Chrono Trigger) - Neil Benjamin (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01247/) (One of my favorites for the LONGEST time)
Dreamer (Chrono Cross) - Starblaze (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR00965/)
Time Voyager (Chrono Cross) - Chronosis (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR00992/)
A Rose For Zelda (The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past) - Tepid (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01428/)
Summoner's Love (Final Fantasy X) - DragonAvenger, EFields (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01537/)
Aquamarine (Terranigma) - mv (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01335/)

Super Mario 64 - PearlSong - The Wingless

[TheKrow]

Yoshi's Lullaby
http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR00485/

This, I think, is one of McVaffe's most simple, yet most well done pieces.

[Ajax]

The Guardian Legend 'The Scarlet Halls of Night (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01459/)' by The Wingless

[ZealPath]

Seems we have quite a few requests for "relaxing," or "peaceful," mixes on these forums, as usual, I'm going to take this time to plug Brinstar Bonsai Garden by Red Tailed Fox, it's Brinstar, at some dark jazz club!

http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01473/

Follow that up with Midnight at Club Corel (Red Tailed Fox and Shnabubla) from the FFVII: VotL album, and you'll be in pretty good shape, hell, throw in Hyrdophone Breakdown (JigginJonT) while you're at it.

[SoulinEther]

Rozo already got it but Chillout by SEDUCTiON is pretty damn chill. But it's pretty adaptable; if you're feeling upbeat it'll work with you, just gotta massage it a little (the song of course).

[SwordBreaker]

http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01242/

Vigilante's "Beneath the Surface". The most relaxing mix on the site EVER!

http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01700/

McVaffe's "Celestial Winds from the East". 2nd most relaxing mix on the site. :P

[diamondfalcon]

^I agree with Beneath the Surface.

Other great relaxing remixes:
OA's "Afternoon Tea with Snappleman's Mom"
OA's Phoenix Wright "That Feeling"
Patrick Burn's DKL "Revisiting the Ruins"
djpretzel's EarthBound "Twoson Hits the Road"
NiGHTS "Escape into the Twilight"
Mario Kart 64 "Day's End"
Chrono Trigger "Far Away Memories"

...ok, so I really like nice music.

[Chiral]

This thread has inspired me to make such a playlist!

I also agree with "Beneath the Surface."

bLiNd's "Blue Vision" is faster paced, but just as chill, I think.
Also Scott Peeples - Requiem for a Green Revolution. Ahhhhhhhhhh. *relaxes*

[SlickDaddySlick]

"Green Amnesia"

http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR00883/

[Soul Splint]

Try Shadow of the Colossus - Snowfall on Forbidden Lands.
Ceili and Sephfire did an awesome job on this one.

[Native Jovian]

No one has mentioned McVaffe's Crystalline Caverns (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR00860/) from Yoshi's Island yet. This is unacceptable.

The situation has now been rectified. Carry on.
