OCR01175 - Mega Man 2 'Chillout'

[djpretzel]

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

[Yomon]

Let me just say, when I first started listening to this, it sounded like it would be long and borring, but then around 0:37 It started getting good.
And then I'm started to get the hang of the tune, and now I remember it, you see, I don't play MegaMan 2 that much, so I only have 2 OCRs of it.
But this one is a very good one, I gave it a 5/5 on my iTunes/iPod.
And so I give this a 9.5/10 Very UBER!
This is my first rating of a remix btw >_>;

Keep up the good work. =D

[Julio Jose]

It was ok, its just i have herd way to many remix's of this song.

[Nanaki]

That solo choral patch used is amazing, and really makes this song something special.

A lot of Dr. Wily Castle 1 remixes are heavy, fast, and generally all the same and usually boring. But this one and Dr. Wilys wedding are both really awesome, since their slow style really deviates from the original.

[AmIEviL]

I really liked this stuff, I don´t think that anyone has mentioned how tasteful the dynamics of the piano is. So I´ll do that...

Very tasteful dynamics in the piano.
The rhythmic flangered pattern in the background is sweet also. Reminds me of my old Roland JV2080, which I swapped for a classical guitar. Hard decision!

And if the author of the mix reads this: What IS that vocalpatch?! I absolutely adore it and would like to lay my hands on it.

Very nice job

[Carbon Dog]

I must say that I did enjoy it quite a bit, just what I needed for a sleepy little Saturday morning. :)

[Jogilius]

Suomipoika r0kr0k! 8)

Well, actually the megaman 2 wily 1 -remix I like the most is perhaps the mosh pit remix, and Wily's wedding, being more like this one, is also a bit better than this, but this isn't bad either.

[Fray]

I enjoyed the heck out of this one -- definite keeper. This definately gets an A+ for feel. Sound choice and overall style are just top notch.

The repetitiveness really didn't bother me at all, although I do agree with DJP that the key change at the end was a kinda iffy. It's not a bad concept, but it's too sudden; there's nothing there musically to introduce the key change.

Great stuff!
:nicework:

Edit:

Are we sure the remixer is male? I mean, the name is Joni, and the handle is SEDUCTION. Just wondering if this wasn't one of those flubs made just because there are so few female remixers...

[dekerd]

Though I may not have mixed this song down exactly the way he did, and it indeed could have been cut down just a tad, this one of the most original remixes on the site.

The delayed piano is briliantly utiltized and it's quite amazing to see someone actually succeed in remixing this MM tune after so many have tried, with few succeeding. This is excellent work, and I hope he remixes more in the future.

[J_Lidar2k51]

I gotta disagree with DJP on the comment of repetitive. I ravenously listen to the MM remixes, and I will admit some of those do get redundant, but this one is not one of them. It has great flow, overlays enough different stuff around that it doesn't seem to repeat but more to just continue bringing new things as it progresses.

Hot stuff, gimme s'more ;)

[The Orichalcon]

Being the first megaman remix I've ever heard, I review this song as unbiased as there is possible.

I love it, the singing style thing in there is perfect, along with the piano and flange-synth. This is a masterpiece, it just sounds in parts like it's missing something, like the main instrument isn't held down long enough.

But I love it.

As I said to a friend:
"this is the kind of music you have playing while making love to a fine piece of cheese."

[Cadmus]

definitely a solid remix. this is a tune you can love even if you've never even heard of mega man. the piano and choir voices are beautifully done. the key change at the end would not work at all IF the choir voice didn't lead it, but with the voice i think it works just fine.

[Kaede_X]

It's true, that one choral part is very distinctive.
It stuck out the second I heard it.

I wasn't particularly feeling it myself though.
It does fit in with the rest of the song quite nicely, but it just sounded like a cheesy ghost wail to me.

[Atomic Dog]

I've been slacking when it comes to reviewing lately.

I really like this. Really downtempo, which is so ideal for the mood I'm in at the moment - that kind of, getting late on a Saturday night, had a few beers, just sitting in the dark enjoying the setting mood.

I don't know if it's my familiarity with the MM2 soundtrack that's doing it, but this song is really easy to follow in your head. When I heard it for the first time, I could almost predict what sounds would be coming up. I'm not quite sure how I feel about the choral part, not because it sounds bad, but because it's kind of a tease. You know, you get that really rippin' bit at the beginning and you're left wanting to hear it throughout the song, and all you get is a little more towards the end. But listening to the piece a few times, it makes sense, and all in all, it comes out really nice.

Gold star.

[ILLiterate]

Meh i dont really play megaman games...mabye the formula got to old for me or something so i dont know the original song of this.

Other than the actual song it sounds like something you'd hear at the begining of an anime cartoon or something. The name Seduction is also a great name because when this song stopped i just wanted to keep listening. A nice slow tempo with a good piano when it kicks in. Its also one of those beats that get stuck in your head so one day when your just messing around you'll start going "do do do doo DO DO!" Normal I dont like these kind of slow tempo songs but im going to make an exception for this.

Final Score:8/10
Final Comment:Even of you dont like this style of music it STILL sounds good

[*Drasiir]

I liked the voice sample very much. I've never heard anything like it.

And I liked the key change. Didn't bother me at all.

Everyone has already put in a better analysis than I could, and I don't really feel like repeating them, so I'll leave it at the most important thing:

It's a damn fine piece of music.

[Veovis]

Hope to hear more from you. This is great. Love it.

[bajan]

very impressive piece...keep it up! :D

[PlatformerMastah]

I've been listening to this remix like crazy. This just rocks. :D Keep it up.

[Jasoco]

You know, I really suck at MegaMan games, but I must say this and that "Tickle my Wily" song are two of my favorite Remixes. Even if they are the same song done different ways.

Game music rocks. Remixes rock harder.

[ella guro]

The piano has some dynamics behind it, but it's drowned out by the excessive delay and ends up sounding more mechanical than it should. The vocal sample is certainly unique, but I have mixed feelings about whether it meshes well with everything else or not - it's kind of akward and synthy, but it's interesting enough to be appealing. The orchestra stabs are too dark and attack a little too gradually, though: the sample being used doesn't fit in the way I think the artist intended it to. And the guitar sample isn't horrible, but it's somewhat mechanical and I think something a little more believable would work much better (or an actual guitar).

Some of the bass/drum work is pretty cool like around 3:05, but it's mostly just very repetitive. As is pretty much everything part being played: it has nice elements to it, but I really don't think it's a complete arrangement.

[Rychan]

Nice piece. I'm not quite sure it justifies the length, but I like it. I think the Choral sample is fantastic.

[tgfoo]

Nice piece. I'm not quite sure it justifies the length, but I like it. I think the Choral sample is fantastic.

I agree. I found myself losing interest in listining to it around 3 and a half minutes. of course, that could just be cause conan o'brien was on....

[Geko]

Great piece, I was reading Age of Apocalypse comics, and I just stopped reading and listened to this song when it came on.

SmackAHoe Tribe, do you play tribes?

[kablammyman]

When I first heard it was another Wily remix...I wasnt too sure if I should DL it. I mean, I love the original tune, but I'm tierd of the same ole remix to this stage...but when I heard it, i was pleasantly surprised! Great work! 8)

[EvilHorde]

This is a good piece. At first I didn´t think much of it, but now I listened to it again and it works. I like it, but somehow I think that this remix has more to offer. There´s something missing, this needs more EDGE. I don´t know what I mean, but I feel like this just doesn´t build up to its potential.

But then again this is a moody song and works fine the way it is, calm and simple and without any bigger tricks up its sleeves. Maybe this has just been heard too many times (Dr Wily theme AND the bombastic piano/strings/hiphopbeat-moody style). AND just to split hairs here, the piano needs more groove. Now it sounds like sequenced and maybe a bit lifeless. BUT thats not an issue really.

But good work all in all. No one can deny that.

[PorscheT1]

Very nice remix. This is one of my favorite songs from the megaman series. The length of the remix was just right, unlike Dr. Wily's Wedding which is a bit too short. A+ work, keep it up.

[Analsounds]

Just beautiful. I love the piano solos and the part where you put the guitar and piano together. This just wants to make me cry.

ps. Can someone IM or Email me the sheet music for this song? AIM: Izdabombz email: Izdabombz@hotmail.com
Im kinda new here. thanks.

[Slime Master]

This is by far the best Dr. Wily Remix I have heard yet. This is exactly the thing people need to listen to when they need to chill out.

[Genesis Blue]

The is by far one of my favorite (possibly my favorite) remixes on this site... I don't really have anything unique to say about it, I just wanna say how much I like it, great job :o , it is a little repetitive, but I like it so much I enjoy the repeating. It's been on my playlist a long time :wink:

[MasterSword]

love it just love it.

Definitely the BOMBDIGGITYSHNOAUW 8O

[mrjag]

I lose the count of how many times I heard this song.

The piano delay fullfill every part of the song and was very good choice, given much energy for the piano.
The vocal made a good signature for the remix.
Drums, guitar and synth participate without being boring, execute the flows and transitions very well.

SEDUCTiON, continue like this.

[SEDUCTiON]

Thx everyone! And I WILL continue like this :)
New remixes coming soon.

[Wing-Zero]

Seduction you have really out done yourself with this neat and ultimatly cool song I hope for even cooler songs in the future from you and wish it to be from the same game :lol: any way THIS SONG IS AWASOME!!!!

[The Instrument of GAWD]

SEDUCTiON, I thank you very much for making this mix. It stirs my creative imagination when I'm trying to sleep. Also, it does a wonderful job in calming murderous fury.

Once again, thank you.

[BLiNdChRiS]

Your song is very good. I very like and your name is the effect of your song, Seduction.

I hope you'll do others songs soon.

[Kxo Krazoa 6]

I really like this song. The singing is very good, the strings are extemely cool, and the paino is excellent. I really enjoyed this song. :)

[MrNemo]

Excellent tune. Quality material. The Secret of Mana'ish piano is spellbinding, coupled with the live vocals. I am the first to not like the synth-guitarish sound, but that is just a personal bias, it works fine in the song. One day a remix with a live electric guitar could possibly put this in another league, which would be a difficult feat considering how nice it already is. I don't think my personal bias should affect my review of the tune, and it is definitely a 10/10 mix. Kudos!

[DJ Riott]

A song full of emotion and groove. I think people need to 'chillout' and take this song in with a big breath.

Those vocals... they creep me out and amaze me at the same time. Sounds like a wolf! ooohw.

This mix is good sleepy time music, sad music, relax music, chill music etc.

9.7/10

[NTT]

Absolutely amazing. I don't know what prompted you to execute vocal chords in this track, but it works impeccably. The over all vibe is somewhat of an eerie, tranquil feeling.

Hats' off to you SEDUCTiON.

[Transient]

No Huhhuh.Äijällä on näkemystä.
I was (tired)arriving from Rovaniemi to Helsinki(Both in Finland) with train and in Lapland there
was this ruska(donnow what is it in english :?: ,leaves of the trees turn yellow and red)thing going on and I was sitting in the train and watching the this beatiful but melancholy landscape rolling by and listening this from my laptop.
There are these perfect moments in life when you are in your own
"bubble" and everything else escapes and you just hope that the bubble lasts a little longer before it pops. I had that moment in the train with this song and when the guitar comes out near the end...especially then everything was in it's place for that moment. I don't know did you intent to have a little finnish melancholy in the song, but I must admid that there it is. And I love it :D :D

[jordex]

this song seduces me


get it?

[kingshorty340]

its actually pretty good but it gets pretty weird around 0:40 because it sounds like some one is singing opra

[BobTheDog]

Wow... The remix as a whole is great, but the vocal thing.. incredible. A masterpiece. This one's on all my OCR Mix CD's.

[Lost InSanity]

being a bboy and all i love this remix. i sped it up a little and now we can dance to it.. undadog 2 also used it in its trailer.. sick beat.. much props to you!

btw.. if possible can you send me the music sheet please? i cannot find it anywhere!! e-mail: the_art_of_a_bboy@hotmail.com

[PotluckBrigand]

I admit the style isn't for everyone. Many people I know said they didn't care for how slow it was, or the choral part...

But i can say without hesitation that this is my personal favorite OC Remix and a fantastic song that makes any list of great songs i have currently playing in my car. It strays far enough from the original song to be called its own beast, and I am very grateful it made its way to the Internet for me to enjoy.

Super.

[amisheskimoninja]

this is the best freakin remix i have ever heard! I only wish this guy made more though. I would pay good money to hear more songs like this.

[T.E.S.M.]

I would have to say this is my favorite mix of all time as of yet. The choir solo in the beginning is beautiful, absolutly beautiful.
I have listened to this no less that 300 times. sometimes 20 in a row, because it just flows so well and is just my style, all the time.

a great mix and a must have. get it!

excellent work, you have earned my respect.

[Mythix]

Amazing work! Not so often does a song totally suck me in, but this did the trick! great job!
~Mythix

[Asaudan]

Edit:

Are we sure the remixer is male? I mean, the name is Joni, and the handle is SEDUCTION. Just wondering if this wasn't one of those flubs made just because there are so few female remixers...

Joni is exclusively a male name in Finland. Also be advised that in Finland the law forbids giving children names of the opposite sex.

[Linkjing Donuts]

I heard this remix while listening to the OCR Ormgas radio station and was asstounded. Soon after I downloaded it and now it is on my iPod. Reallyawesome work here. It got me into trying to play the beginning on piano.

[muzikal-phoenix]

I've mostly been exposed to some aggresive, fast-paced mixes of this particular theme. It's a nice...next to heavenly change to the whole "wily" concept. the harmony, the vocals, the guitar arrangements...just simply awesome. :D

[Bummerdude]

Dude, this is totally chill man. A remix of a song that is totally different to this remix. Instead of annoying megaman noises, there are a beautiful piano which is playing along with a nice guitar arrangement together with beats in the back giving the smooth feeling that this mix is all about. This is a great remix from seduction, and I Think it´s best to follow his advice: Chill out. 8)

[Belexus]

This song... is completely awesome. Every time I listen to this song I crank my volume up to Max on my Winamp and lose myself in the song. Thank you very much for this contribution, Joni.

[undinesfire]

Gotta love it! It had got a beat to it and yet at the same time a chill atmosphere. I love it!

[Iron Cross]

For some odd reason, slightly less than a minute into this piece, I can't help but feel like I want to just get up and dance and sway to it, being pushed around by the wind and the pulse of my own blood, away from others' eyes and thoughts, simply enjoying the sad energy in it. It starts about 0:55, picking up more at 1:14, then rising and falling several times as the music's intensity changes pace and focus. The slowdown just after the three minute mark is a bit of a let-down, but not entirely unwanted, as it offers its own feel and movement.

This isn't a dance piece, yet it simply makes me want to turn up the volume, kick up the bass a bit, and move. What I really feel from this piece is a "get up and dance, if only because you can" type of energy.

As for the comments about its repetition, it is, but in the way in which a glass of wine is. Though one may have several glasses of wine, spread over time or at once, it never really becomes dull or tasteless.

My only complaint is that the piece ends somewhat suddenly, in the middle of a line, as if it were cut off.

A wonderful piece, SEDUCTiON, and I hope that you return with other mixes some day.
Be Well, and Blessed Be.

[Klub Kid]

i don't know if it's just me,but this would sound great wit someone singing a sad love ballad to it or somethin. makes me think of the theme from kingdom hearts.

my question is: why is it that asian girls can sing so beautifully to music like this? on a track like this, a white girl wouldn't fit cuz white girls tend to whine when they sing,a black girl wouldn't do it justice either, but u get an asian girl to sing on a track like this and Bam! i'd listen to this all the time. but that's just me. i'm lovin this track,especially the choral thing, it comes in at just the right moments. i wish i could come up wit some lyrics to this,but i don't really rap like that. anyways, good work! A Plus on this one.

peace and stay frosty!

[your the man now dog]

holy sweet ****. This is amazing. It's one of the only remixes that I literally dance to (albeit I look like Elaine from Seinfeld whilst doing so). This is truly an amazing song. I love the vocals and strong piano. Probably one of the things I love most about this song is how it's in a game type that's dominated by hardcore techno beats. Since i'm not much of a techno fan, you hit the nail on the head. djpretzel was right about the change near the end, but whatever, all is forgotten. You're very talented, and it breaks my heart that you only have one vg remix here. I bow to thee.

[Mystical]

This is one of the best pieces of music that I've ever heard. Sure, the upkey sounded a little forced, but the entire piece of music is just wonderful.

I've been playing this in my car stereo for the past 6 months, and so very often people say: "wow, what track is this; it's nice!"

More remixes please!

Rating: 9.5/10

[hyperlink6556]

download this or i will get tingle to hunt you down and spend all your rupees on tingle plushies

[Prizm4]

I love this remix! I can't get enough of the MM2 Wily theme, although I don't know why people are saying there's too many dance remixes of this theme - I've yet to hear a good dance mix aside from Sir Nuts' Tickle My Wily.

Megaman 2 Chillout is an awesome down-tempo mix - definately one of my favourite video game remixes!

Prizm

[watkinzez]

Sir Nuts' Tickle My Wily

Star Salzman's, but you probably knew that, didn't you?

[Prizm4]

Oops, I meant Sir Nuts' The Last Challenge. Tickle My Wily was also a good mix, though it wasn't a fast dance track.

Prizm

[42]

No thanks.
I don't quite know what came in at 0:37, but that derailed the mix for me. -_-;

It'd be a whole lot better if it didn't have that "weeeOOOOoo" sound.

Yeah, not my kind of mix.

[loony]

gah, i really love the piano bit, especially the left hand accompaniment... How can we get the sheet of this? I really wanna play it !
I tried mailing Joni, but i think his mail is dead :cry:
come on, somebody help me! ther's gotta be a way to get the sheet!! I mean, except writing it myself, I suck way too much at this, and when the choral gets in, its impossible...
a solution: are there any good sheets of the dr wily's castle? i tried michael gluck's one, but i didn't find it incredible :-(
Please help me!

[Flare4War]

Still listen to this one all the time. Great take on this track. I have to say I'm not sure what people aren't liking in the vocals. I think they add a real nice element.

[Invader_Quirk]

The vocals make the piece for me. After the first round of the singing, I spend the rest of the song waiting for it to return. The singing reminds me vividly of Princess Mononoke, and brings the beautiful imagery of that film to my mind. I've seen people bashing the chord change near the end, but I love it. It ramps up the intensity, and paired with the vocals that kick in, it sounds almost tragic. I love it. :-P

[sedure]

Hello, It's Joni here.

It's been almost 5 years since I made this and I, again, thank you all for your comments.

In the past 5 years I've had some radical changes in my life and so the composing has been non-existant, literally. But now I've been putting my life together again and found some new inspiration for my music, so you can expect some new remixes in few months :)

To ppl asking for Megaman 2 sheet music:
I don't have the sheet music, I made this entirely by ear. I would somehow transform this song to sheet if I could, but unfortunately the .rns(Reason song file) was destroyed along with my old HDD :(

Sincerely,
Joni Anttila aka SEDUCTiON(new alias: sedure)

[SoulinEther]

Exciting news to hear.

[Klub Kid]

been long ti me i me an't wa t i said though but, as for Asian women singin, i actua lly mean't some thin like bjork, i am orignally fro m Nor way,trond heim. i feel like song make think of true absolute and forbidden love. kool uh? sedure, tanx fo song!

[sedure]

Hey ppl...

As you already noticed, I haven't kept my promise to upload a new song in the past few months(since my last post).
The thing is I've lost my creativity. I can't create music with emotion anymore. I've done couple of songs but they just don't meet my standards, so I have not uploaded them. When I made megaman 2 chillout remix, I was 16 years old and MADLY in love and that relationship crashed as fast as it started. I would give anything for her to even listen to me nowadays. And for the "radical changes in my life", they include jail, homelessness and therapy. I've been putting my life together and I am sorry for ppl waiting for new songs. Sorry.

[Wega]

There's no other song on here i've heard as many times as this one. Sounds like you've been through some really tough times though. I hope you get through it. Don't give up on your creativity. It might return when you least expect it.

[SoulinEther]

Sounds like a whirlwind... at the same time it sounds like it's filled with emotions (though probably not love). Don't give up. Try to add more "colors" to your palette by drawing on your life experiences and see what you can come up with. Don't worry about anybody waiting.. it should really be all about you when it comes to what you make - when you're ready, your public will be there.

[KougarLOB]

I love the music in this track. It's amazing. Reminds me of Akumajo Belmont's "For You." The vocals are not working for me though. They sound like the female version of the Swedish Chef from the Muppets :tomatoface:. See YouTube links below if you are not familiar with him.

Are the vocals are computer/syth generated?

check the thread in the WIP forum to make sure but this was the inspiration for his remix, and I believe he sampled the vox here for his mix.

[KougarLOB]

Aye, you're right. I read Mr. Belmont reference SEDUCTiON a while back and forgot. Love it, but still stand by my Muppets comment. :tomatoface:

[OA]

That vocal sample is siiiiick, and really helps sell this otherwise conservative arrangement. The production and soundscape is really nice, and though it's mostly just a sound upgrade, it's a really good one.
