Best April 1st song since Sierra Nevada Tan, and from one of the most "mind boggling" games ever created!

[Kizyr]

...was this part of some contest to create the largest ID3 tag possible? KF

[Gollgagh]

oshit

this actually passed the board?

[anosou]

oshit

this actually passed the board?

I find that offensive!

[Rozovian]

Cheetahmen II... ugliest game icon I've seen on ocr (so far). An in-game pic would probably be better...

Anyway, bored with school stuff, this cheered me up this morning. Great style, great stuff, 'nuf said.

[Fishy]

ReMixing Cheetahmanz is dangerous territory. You've got to live up to the extremely high standards of the mind blowingly awesome game, and theres only one man who can stand up to the challenge.

His name is oso.

[Dafydd]

Nice. Yeah, that ID3 tag is pretty huge...

[Scaredsim]

Cool beat. Cool organ too.

[Platonist]

8-O .. AnSo just won't quit :D

give me your freetime bro :nicework:

[KrafN]

Wooow, great stuff man. Don't you dare giving your freetime to someone else, you just use it too well creating those awesome remixes. Keep em coming!

[Gollgagh]

I find that offensive!

I didn't mean the remix is bad, I am merely surprised that this title finally got a remix.

[Dafydd]

I didn't mean the remix is bad, I am merely surprised that this title finally got a remix.

Because it's an unreleased and horrible title? (Or is it unreleased?)

[Palpable]

Nice work, AnSo. Keep rocking that clav. Source still sucks though. :<

[KrafN]

I guess that is why he threw in some FF9.

[Clumsy.]

I thank you for an introduction into something wholly bizarre and entertaining. Plus, that tune is very catchy; I must say it's an instant favorite ;P

[SwordBreaker]

Not familiar with this obscure game and its soundtrack. But hot damn. This remix is extremely funky. Loving the synths and keyboard playing.

Excellent work, Soundscape.

[Z3120]

I seldom post my impression on a remix, but I must say this: "you're making me imagine Chester Cheeto in his own game vividly displayed before my very eyes." What's played starting at 1:29 reminds me of a very old Megaman game except I'm using Chester Cheeto instead. A very creative mix to make me imagine this bizarre game...

I know people have seen this - but did you ever notice the music used was the second song off the Cheetah Men 2 soundtrack? I just learned this myself - I thought it interesting. Either way - that game looks insane.

[Rexy]

Shouldn't this be under Action 52? I thought the music appeared there first before coming into Cheetahmen II (along with the theme for Fuzz Power, which was also transferred over).

Anyway, I don't think there's much else to say concerning the track other than that he approached what is theoretically the worst game EVER and made a remix that actually somehow made the game sound half decent. A very straightforward route in terms of style, but heck, there was still a lot of interpretation to ensure that there was enough balance between familiarity with the theme and personal interpretation, so all's good. I believe the FF9 bit in the middle was needed to add some much needed countermelodic work for the end portion of the original track's melody line, so clever stuff there too.

Get in there AnSo - I bet the Japanese scene and Cheetahmen fans everywhere are in love by now :D

(And btw djp, the last I checked, they were a THREESOME - Aries, Apollo and Hercules, unless there's some secret one that I don't know about.)

Interestingly, Chester had his own game (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chester_Cheetah:_Too_Cool_to_Fool) back in the day.

[kablammyman]

Thats pretty much how I got exposed to the Cheetah Men 2 remixes. I agree with what Kablammyman just said as well. I've quickly grown to be a fan of AS's work. Its nice that he's kind of breaking the mold and remixing music from games that haven't been covered thus far. :)

[megadave]

I'm neutral towards the Cheetahmen. I think it's another fad - Not a bad fad, but still a fad nevertheless.

Yet, it kicks ass, and upon first listen it invoked a nostalgic feeling - and I've never played the game. The 'verse' is sinister and the 'chorus' is a bright and happy diversion that keeps the mix from getting repetitive. It makes me feel like I'm running around in the jungle on some imaginary vacation. Nice work. This is definitely going on my annual summer ocremix CD.

[anosou]

Nice work. This is definitely going on my annual summer ocremix CD.

Now THAT's a compliment :) Thank you

[Martin Penwald]

Anso's got the groove. Very funky, sometimes oldskool sounding remix. I love the keyboard, and some of the stuff going on in the background adds a lot, too.

My only complaint, and unfortunately something that drags this whole mix down for me, is the choice of the main synth. I find it to be a little too loud and piercing; less would've been more here IMO.

Other than that, nice one. Keep'em coming.

[Nobbynob Littlun]

Ahhhhh Cheetamen!

Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Oh, at the risk of derailing this thread... More Cheetamen lovin' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbC5dBqTI-k).

[K.B.]

Another Soundscape, I really like your stuff, but I have to say you missed your mark on this. You see, with pointless internet phenomena, one must be truly horrid at their craft to do due tribute. See: all your base, numa numa. You, through your work here, have disowned the very thing you seek to promote. You have created something good. By adding legitimate awesomeness to this trend, you helped it toward its demise, as nothing good can last on the internet. For shame.

BTW: best use of You Are Not Alone ever. And seriously, you bring the funk. It is awesome.

[jacfalcon]

Yeah, I didn't read the review, and I totally caught You Are Not Alone about 5 seconds after that part started playing on first listen.

I'm so proud of myself ;)

[KyleJCrb]

I honestly only listened to this a few times back when it was released, but it's always been awesome. I didn't catch the "You Are Not Alone" cameo until I just listened to it a few minutes ago: Totally badass. Nice work, AnSo.

[Pachi Risu]

Sweet organs this remix was great. One of the very few tracks downloaded. Good job.

[OA]

I love the source tune, and I feel that this remix is a worthy offering to the godly cheetahmen themselves, Aries, Apollo, and Hercules.
An interesting aside bit of Cheetahmen trivia is that Aries uses the spelling of the astrological sign, rather than "Ares", the Greek god of war. A funny typo that actually makes the train wreck that was the game even better.

Anyways, this mix is great, i love that percussion, and the creative arrangement of the melodies. Surely you don't need my recommendation to download this slick mix.

[42]

Wow, how come I haven't heard this one before?
I'm not sure how to sum up my feelings for this mix; It's so obtusely and bizarrely hodgepodge yet so overwhelmingly catchy and good. Wow, just Wow...

I think I like this a lot; it's such an incredible experience to listen to, and this is so unique I don't think one will find anything like this elsewhere.

[Holy Land]

Man, this is funky. I think it's puzzling (and hilarious) that a game so craptacular generated such a catchy tune.

I can't stop listening to this, it is that great.
