OCR01155 - Rush'n Attack 'Purple Heart'

[djpretzel]

What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix.

[Trenthian]

oooooo pretty...


Ok, the drums are little weak, just about the only thing wrong with this WONDERFULLY enjoyable mix. Long, full of rock. above average guitar work. A LOT of respect is being given to the source material. Geeze.

[Global-Trance]

OMG I loved this game when I was young and this brings back so many memories. I love everything about this ReMix. With every wailing of the guitar in thie ReMix, my head flashbacks to stabbing the bad guys in this classic Konami game. 10/10 from a trance addict that has a soft spot for well made rock.

FIRST POST! MWAHAHAHAH!
Nooooo! Damn you, I wanted it! *pouts*

HOLY CRAP! This rocks my fro off! You might say, "ah, you don't have a fro." You'd be right. 'Cause this song just rocked it off!

Considering it's 2:20 AM right now and I just got home from work, I zconfidently say that this is the best idea I've heard all day! Konami + 80's hair band = *drooooool...*

Everything is flawlessly executed, I love it. It all works perfectly, sound quality is good. It's not just good guitars, either, the drumset is phenomenal too. And the synth, helicopter, siren and howl at the beginning fit the genre like a glove. But guitar rock this IS. Mad props to goat on this one. MAD PROPS, I say!!

[Blake]

O_O *drools* This is so wicked dude keep it up.

[Nobleheart]

All I have to say is this... Goat, you are the man! This is a very passionate and potent remix. The best parts of this is the beginning to 1:30 and around 4:06. Those are some excellent emotion smashers for me. I love Rush N' Attack (As tough as it is, since I have never beated it) and I'm very happy this piece. Excellent work! :D

[Julio Jose]

oooo god damn the krem della krem is where i am. This song is 1337 man. I love the whailing guitar. It makes me want to go stand on my roof and jam on a invisible guitar with an amp sitting beside me. Nice job.
Oh and a little message to you all, if you truly love this rock and roll hardcore action, check out X Japan. Simply, amazing. must see

[bouncerboy15]

Damn this mix rocks. Never heard such a good mix in a while. This mix brings me back some ass kicking memories. 10/10

[Plumber in Paradise]

I've never liked 80's rock. But I do like this piece. I like it because it's BETTER than 80's rock. It has more complex and melodic stuctures. The real action starts after the 3 minute mark.

It's hard to put so many guitars in a song and make it sound good. Anyone trying to do so should consult this mix.

[ZeroSky]

8O HOLY CRAP... This is nothing short of brilliant... :D This is by far one of the best remixes I've heard yet. Had I not already known what this was, I seriously might've thought it was something from Gary Hoey, it's extremely excellently done, and does have a similar sound to his style... Also, if I'm not mistaken, at around 3:12 it changes to the theme from the final level of the game, which combines my two favorite themes in this game into one excellent remix... This always used to be one of my favorite NES games, so it's great to see it get some coverage here... VERY nice...

With all the metal mixes posted over at VGMix (http://www.vgmix.com/) and now this here at OCR, goat's quickly becoming one of my favorite remixers. Symphonic, break-beat and trance are all well and good, but, as djp alluded to, 'balls to the wall' rock remixes tend to be few and far between, so kudos to goat's excellent remix skillz.

[PlatformerMastah]

WHOA! This ReMix is rocking! Truly amazing work here. Check it out.

[Kamikaze Noodle]

Dude, you should play in a real band. No doubt your drummer would love you. Man, if I could meet someone with you particular ideas, I'd play til my hands fell off or my drums broke down, whichever came first.
Anyway, this is damn fine stuff. :nicework:

[Jogilius]

The first 40 seconds aren't that impressive but after that... geez, I just can't help putting on a wide smile! :D The combination of nice sounds and the nostalgy from a yet unremixed tune... oh, baby. 8)

[EvilHorde]

Oh man! I love the game, I love the music, and I definetly love this remix! Intro is great, awesome build-up. And the legendary riff at 0:43 is SO AWESOME! You should´ve used it more in the song. But I´m not complaining cause this remix kicks so much ass. Excellent guitarwork, great sounds all around, and a great feeling. Very energetic. A great adrenaline rush.

AWESOME! 5/5

[GreenMaster8]

Damn,

I loved the game, and wow, the remix--kick ass. I found myself jumping around my room doing a pitiful air guitar to the sweet sounds jamming from my computer. I love the song, for I'm a huge sucker for a sweet-ass guitar riff. You seemed to put in enough to send me into an 80s remniscent rock craze. Keep up the kick-ass work, man!

Very nice guitar, goat does not disappoint. The wails of this man's axe brings wailing to my very soul. The drums could definitley be better in my opinion, they sound a little canned but what can you do without studio space and an actual drummer?

Excellent work, and congrats on your recent marriage.

[goat]

congrats on your recent marriage.
??? can you cite your sources on this one ???
??? I hope this isn't a jab at my most recent remix on vgmix :) ???
??? I *can* say anything marriage-related happened before I started remixing ???

[gog]

Hehe, no jabs intended, just typing random shit. I'll have to check out that mix tho :D

[SirLouie]

Great way to capture the spirit of warfare. Drums reminded me slightly of goat's NoFleshAllowed mix of Castlevania 2, but that's just his style, I guess. Excellent job revamping the 8-bit triangle bass to crunch guitars! Another quality goat mix.

[chocobojoe]

OH MY LORD. This has got to be one of the best mixes on this site. You take catchy themes from an underrated game (with great music) and turn them into a MASTERPIECE!!! I absolutely love that game and that theme, and you've made them infinitely better.

*bows ten thousand times to your greatness*

[Blaster Atoms]

this mix will kick your ass from here to "rush-ia".

[mrplaid]

This is the absolute pinnacle of all that can be achieved at OC Remix. It is by far my favorite remix. Recently, any time I've told anyone about this site I've pointed them towards this mix. I haven't seen anyone yet who isn't floored by it. Download this right now if you haven't and prepare to have your ass caved in.

[Corporal Eschebone]

This is concrete evidence that goat > thuo.

I couldn't agree more. I especially like the ambience he throws in. Helicopters, guns firing every so often. goat's still the man.

[tyler_lucero]

Easily one of my top-5 remixes of all time! I should definatly check out the game...

Nice work. 10/10 :)

[benevolensaurus]

Well, after having listened to this, I have to say that my ass has indeed caved in after being kicked from here to Rush-ia by goat (who is > me).

This mix is great.

[redmantis]

GOOD GRAVEY!!! ive been playing guitar for ten years no and if i could play like that, i would never work a day job again. badass mix!!! 8O

[synthetic_realities]

Yeah, I've got this song on my mp3 player, and I think it's going to stay there for a very long time. What more could I ask for? This whole song is pretty much one of the most amazing solos I've ever heard, period. If I had half of the crazy skills you have, I wouldn't be sitting here typing up a review, I'd be out playing a gig somewhere. Why aren't you very famous yet? You belong up on stage, and sitting with about a thousand groupies after the show.

[linkwolf]

Hi! GOAT,8O


DUDE This is just simply awsome you should be up on stage man, you rock man keep up the good work and a request do metal gear next any one i would like to hear a good hard rock version of any metal gear song again you rock goat keep on rocken i hope to hear more remixes from you.

I loved this song when I first heard it, and that was before I even had a chance the play the game!

Oh, and the ending is especially great. Fits the game quite well.

Now if I can just avoid getting kicked in the face...

-Austin Spafford

[Jedi QuestMaster]

I listen to this when I go running - at night (or in the early morning, whichever you consider it) because it just makes me run faster!

What better way to get a rush than from a rush 'n kick arse game.

Great remix, Goat! Keep doing what you do.

[Pink]

Another of my favourite remixes on the site right here! (More rock... gee imagine that! :P) With another high-energy, head-banging mix by that crazy, guitar-playing Goat! (Maybe a few too many adjectives)

The song itself starts out fairly subtle with the helicopter intro and the mysterious opening... and then... with a VERY old fashioned machine-gun sound... everything kicks into high gear presenting Goat doing what he does best!

I find this song has a very "final" feel to it... like it'd be perfect for some game's final battle theme or something like that. One of the things that give me this feel are those weird guitar riffs that are used throughout the song. They have that big, bad, evil feel that you'd expect from some kind of super villain out to destroy whatever.

Goat's lead guitar that he uses in every mix of his I've ever listened to never fails to be pleasing to my ears, and it fits well into this song just like all the others. This is one of those you just wouldn't listen to when doing something slow-paced... like studying for the Chemistry test you have the next day... >.>

I've never really played this old game, but all I know is... no NES music can compare with this kind of a remix. Excellent job Goat, and this mix is highly recommended by me to those fellow rock fans out there... and once again... severely not recommended for those that don't like heavy rock. :P

[The Orichalcon]

I listen to this when I go running - at night (or in the early morning, whichever you consider it) because it just makes me run faster!

You must be pretending you're a superhero and this is your theme song when running to this.

Love this piece. It all comes together really well. Never heard the originals and not really interested in hearing them. Next to Rimco's Doom ReMix, and most of Mazedude's work, this is one of my favourite all-time OCReMixes.

[HoboKa]

hahaha i don't even KNOW what this game is, the song just ROCKS, good job mate!!!

[SoberIsland]

can someone email me the mp3 i can't download it from the links you guys gave my email is Flight_simulater@yahoo.com, thanks, much apprieciated!!

[OA]

One of the classic rocking tracks on OCR for me personally, once I heard a Goat song back in like 2004, I was hooked and downloaded all of his tracks.
This is one of the strongest he's done, IMO, and the blending of themes works really well to feel like a single track.
There is good playing, some nice effect use, and a solid flow. If you like rocking, this is your jam.

[tweek]

Awesome intro with the percolating low drums. This is stuff that Chris does really well. There is also a VERY noticeable shift here from a production standpoint. The guitars sound much more crisp and full bodied. The drums are also the same way; lots of meat. The performance in the guitar is spot on as it always seems to be with Mr. Gates! The solos are bitchin' and the power chord breakdown is nice and tasty. The brief rhythm change was a nice touch as well. Not much else to say here except that this is a great metal track and those who like the style will definitely enjoy it. Awesome work goat!
