The People's Remix Competition 121
PRCv5-17

Hello everyone and welcome to the People's Remix Competition! (www.doulifee.com/prc/PrcSong/PRCcommercial.wmv) Last contest's Final Fantasy VI related endeavor continued to push the intense turnouts that PRC has been receiving as of late, thanks to a total of five contributing mixes for Jidoor's Magic House. And it was a comeback from Siamey that secured the fate of this coming contest - an intricate fusion of FF6, FF8 and mid-tempo trance (in which he thought sounded more like something Timbaland would do) were what was on offer in his winning entry.

Before we move ahead to this coming contest, let's cast our minds all the way back to PRC93, where after winning a Teddy Boy based contest, Siamey picked a track from a SNES game based on a Fox Kids cartoon. However, miscommunication on the song choice resulted in a poor one-entry turnout, the abolishment of the original PRC system and the stimulus for analoq's conception of the Compo ThaSauce system used today. Now, Siamey is willing to revisit the past but will the results be better received this time around? Or will it, like PRC93, take the show's catchphrase "It never hurts to help" to a different meaning altogether?

so this time I am going to do it right, since last time i requested the wrong song from this game. (its the trancey one with the cool strings intro)

lol sorry for the confusion last time.

Eek! the Cat - Flying Saucer (Stage 2)
MIDI (http://compo.thasauce.net/files/materials/PRC121_flyingsaucer.mid) | MP3 (http://compo.thasauce.net/files/materials/PRC121_flyingsaucer.mp3) | SPC (http://bev.wooff.googlepages.com/prc121.spc)

If only if Siamey linked to the sound rip at snesmusic.org rather than Zophar, that would have saved me trouble squatting through the first level and the game's sloppy control scheme just to find out where this track is played. But oh well, it speaks volumes on how everything else was done right... or so I think.

GOOD LUCK!

You're awesome rexy, you always write these entertaining lead-ins. I'm totally ripping you off for my TRC write-ups.

[DZComposer]

This song is WAY to electronic for my taste, yet I'm still tempted to try something for it.

Hmm...

For real this time.

[munchi]

3rd place is much like a double bubble bubble gum. At first it's hard to chew, then it tastes real good for five seconds then it's hard, nasty and leaves a terrible aftertaste. Not to mention your teeth hurt. In other words, I'm so in this competition!

[Siamey]

Im chewing some double bubble right now, no joke. I stayed up all night and I went and got coffee and gum and Im gonna ride it out till evening time.

Maaah. Couldn't find any good, large pictures.

[Hardbeat Acolyte]

Hehe, I'll give it a shot prolly... =D

[DZComposer]

Okay, I lied. My idea didn't turn out so hot.

It's just too electronic for me.

[munchi]

I have to agree that this song is decepitively hard. But I think that I can still get mine done before the deadline. Did anybody else have a hard time figuring out exactly how to remix this song?

[Psychog13]

I just listened to it for the first time, intresting tune but i just dont have the time to participate right now :( a shame.

[Binweasel]

I'm actually finding it rather easy... I seem to have picked a good style, lots of room for, y'know... stuff. The problem I'm having is time. I should be able to finish by the deadline, though. Done the composing bit now, just to patch the midi into Reason tomorrow.

But at least I've learned not to rent an entire season of Battlestar Galactica from a place that only gives you a day to watch it.

... Say, can anyone here play bagpipes?

[JH Sounds]

I think I'll put out something random.

[Siamey]

I hope the curse of SIAM is gone now, and it doesnt end up being 1 person who wins by default.

[Sir_NutS]

I started something, but I dunno if I'll be able to finish it on time. Keep your fingers crossed.

[JH Sounds]

Yay, we broke the curse of PRC93! :-P

[Chickenwarlord]

I think my piece outrandoms yours j64.

[munchi]

YEAH!!! Entry submitted!!

[Rexy]

Excellent work, gentlemen! The so-called "curse of PRC93" has been lifted! I'm listening to the entries now to verify their placements, so it won't be too long until we get to the voting.

[JH Sounds]

Do do this

Um, I will. :<

[Rexy]

Jesus Christ, every time I do a grammatical mistake there's always some kind of broadway production over it. :p It's fixed.

[Hylian Lemon]

Hey, don't look at us. You make the production yourself; we just sell the tickets. :tomatoface:

[JH Sounds]

It's fixed.

...yet it's still in the first post. :lmassoff:

[Chickenwarlord]

I have voted. Much jubilation shall be had.

[Rexy]

Alright, time to seal the poll! Now, which of you lucky devils have escaped from the UFO alive, with Annabelle's sanity intact? And which of you had to give her up to become a giant space battery?

Total number of mixes - 5
Total number of votes - 9
Highest possible score - 27

Binweasel claims his first ever last place wooden spoon with 5 points.

munchi bit his way into fourth place with 9 points.

setokaibarocket renegade-master'd straight into third place with 13 points (nice Wildchild reference btw).

Chickenwarlord just got stuck in the escape hatch - second place with 16 points.

And the winner of PRC121 is just64helpin with 23 points!

Well done on your first win! It takes guts for something milder than the usual to achieve first, but you proved yourself to be very popular amongst the PRC crowd. Since this is your first win, I might as well explain the basis on picking the source tune. It can be any song as long as it hasn't been covered on OCR; this can mean anything whether it's an uncovered track from a popular game (e.g. Sonic 1 boss) or tracks from a game with little coverage yet (e.g. the entire Sonic Heroes score); furthermore, tracks covered on site projects but not on the main site (e.g. Sonic 3 Carnival Night Zone) are still fair game. I expect to have the source tune in my inbox by Friday.

Thanks for your time gentlemen, and I hope to see you again for the next exciting instalment of PRC :D

[JH Sounds]

Now THIS is a win that I wanted! :)!! I'm sure my selection for the next PRC will tickle the fancy.

[Binweasel]

Ooh! Good one, 64! Very much liked yours - liked 'em all, really, but it's nice to know that the one I'd've voted for first place if voting didn't take place in the only three days of the week I actually work won. XD (Good luck with that Star Trek, too.)

And I'm going to listen to Chicken's next time I go to the dentist. Wicked stuff.

I feel somewhat proud of my spoon; now I can eat Lazysoup and get that Double Bubble taste out of my mouth from PRC117.

[Siamey]

congrats dude

[Hardbeat Acolyte]

Wooo, good going 64! =P

[munchi]

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean, good song and congrats.... NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
*sigh*
In all honesty, I actually was afraid that there wasn't going to be any remixes for this song (including mine!) So hurray for us and hurray for a great turn out!! See everyone in the next round!

[Bundeslang]

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
I missed voting. Life is really busy at the time, didn't even have a single 30 minutes left for the vote. And I'm still not having floats of free time, so I'll listen to the songs later. I'll try to look around and vote for the next contest.

[Sir_NutS]

It's sad, but I had something for this compo and my pc went apeshit and I had to format and since I don't have xp around, I had to install... ugh... vista *shudders*.

Which means of course that all my files are gone. Again. This is not the first time it happens and I'm pissed off at myself for being dumb and never doing backups. This also means I won't be doing music for some time because I don't feel like installing everything again and dealing with vista retardedness toward sound output.(not that I was doing any music lately anyways)

But man I really liked what I had for this :S. Oh well.
