OCR01202 - Zombies Ate My Neighbors 'Neighburgers'

[djpretzel]

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

[CykoticZZ]

Perfect. This mix is awesome every second through. I actually had winamp minimized and around 2:00 i thought the song was ending, It would have been enough. But nooooo we have to endure another 3 minutes of this incredably superb remix. To be honest i played this game a lot back in my day. I was expecting the normal skip beat song you hear during ur levels of play. But this was much better. The variations on the main theme and the solos really keep the song driving. The ending was okay.. I just didn't really want it to end.

[Nase]

one of my favorite soundtracks. haha, if i redid that track, i wouldve included some howling chainsaws...that hedgemaze level was pure paranoia.
i would have preferred a buildup at the beginning, thats what makes the original so cool imo, that ever repeating utterly stupid bassline and the following buildups towards madness. i really dig your eclectic style though.

cheers!

[CokedUpWerewolf]

Great remix from a great game. Props to Protricity, the remix still makes me feel like I should be looking around for those little dolls that throw axes. Out of curiosity, has anyone ever beaten it? I always died at that giant spider in level 46 or so.

[tabsformer]

AWESOME! nothing else to say

[TheGamingGuru]

Great remix for sure.

All your squirt guns are belong to us.

[Amayirot Akago]

To quote Rayden:

"Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant."

[demalavor]

a ZatM remix :DDDD

Oh yeah, you get awesome points just for remixing this game.

You get more for making it a good remix.

great stuff.

[Flare4War]

Quite cool. Everything blends really well. I wasn't into the tune much though.

[a_dramatic_reenactment]

very good.

very, very good.


yup. :twisted:

I've never been a fan of Proticity's works but this one kinda did it for me. There is at least one track I enjoy. Mind you, this remix is from one of the only few games on the SNES that I did enjoy.

[Trenthian]

YES!

..it was also on the Genesis.

Just to respond to CokedUpWerewolf, I've played it a lot. Never beaten it. I remember the last level i played was a giant football field. I think a giant baby was walking around shooting milk at you from his/her giant bottle.

[LiquidTrance]

A very nice remix of a song i forgot about. I really love the craziness of the song. Great job! 8)

[Sakiya_Chan]

Perfection. This is what every remixer should look at when making a remix. It is incredible.

Uhhhhh how long is this mix
mine does cut out at 2:00

[Kaleb.G]

You know, melody-wise, this song reminds me of something Tim Follin might do with this song. The lengthy but always interesting progression in this remix, reminds me of his Plok soundtrack. Awesome stuff right here.

[weqo]

Yes, great song. :)
This song is actually 5:21 long.

[DJ Riott]

Hey, i was not familiar with the tune.. but that's not important as the Remix Kicks Ace.

The spacey Zombie phases with the Guitars along with that bouncy honkey tonk created such a good sound.

+ + + + + A Remix.

[RimFrost the Tourianist]

Childish and yet Evil as it can be ..excellent work 8O

[Bruk]

OMG LIEK< PROT SUBMITZ ANOTHAR TOTALLY KEWL MIX THAT ROX MY SOX K?/

Another awesome ZAMN mix! I'm totally diggin' this hip shit. Keep 'em coming!

[Syl]

damn sweet, even manages to retain some of the feel of the original.

awesome remix.

[MuneTeika]

Interesting. I know it's already Konami, but the orignal didn't sound Castlevania-like. This one just has a Castlevania tone to it... maybe like Castlevania IV maybe Dracula X(SNES) style.

[The Orichalcon]

It's alright, the drums I'm not a fan of. It gets good at 1:30 and on.

Not your best stuff prot.

[[Lazarus]]

Oh my god.... That remix BLEW MY MIND~~!~~!~~
A single tear was shed for you, Prot... A single tear...

[Enigmatic Magus]

Wow, this shot straight up into the top three or so favorite songs from this site... I couldn't get enough of this game, and this Remix is.. well.. much the same way. Kickass.

[Atomicfog]

I hardly post here, mostly just download songs, but damn that was awesome. I love your style Protricity.That was the one song in Zombies Ate my Neighbors that needed a remix, and you more that covered it. More please...

[R-Typed]

This must be on of the best remixes ever. I love the hard drums, guitar, orchestra hits and sound effects. There is many words describing this remix, but my choose is: AWESOME. And C'mon! You all know you love "Zombies ate my neighbors"! That game is a true badass!

[StarKirby]

I almost went crazy when I saw a new ZAMN remix...then I DID go crazy when I heard that Protricity made it.

I have to admit, this isn't my favorite remix by Prot, but it's one of the best. I love the original track, and the game itself. In the original, when that started playing, I could hear a monster going "Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah" to that tune. It's always sounded that way to me.

[Dalpima]

Ooooh.
I still own that game too. :D ZAmN still one of the best SNES games out there to date.
I still play it from time to time with friends, and damnit I STILL haven't beaten the darn thing. I keep dying. It really is a tough game to beat, especially in 2 player where you have to share items you find, and if you run out of a certain item, well then I'm sorry but you're screwed. ^_~ *laughs*
But yeah, the old "Big baby" track still cracks me up. One of the most frightening boss characters EVER. I mean, you get to pwn a BABY. (although you're by no means hurting or killing it, you actually end up helping it.) *laughs*

[LibraLizard]

Errr, was I the only one who had the remix cut out on me at 4:39? I tried redownloading it from both the main site and the mirror with the same result. I'm using an old version of RealJukeBox but haven't ever had this problem before, and I have over 2000 mp3s. Anyone have a clue what the problem is?

[dmauro]

this is good. this is really good. I'm ashamed to say that I never played this game, so I can't compare it to the original song, but it's obvious that this mix has been taken places the original couldn't possibly have gone. It's stuff like this that gets me excited about ocremix all over again.

I agree with you, potricity. This is your best. It's also one of the best mixes on ocremix. Keep up the good work.

[Wintermute]

Protricity's best? Definitely not.
Good? I'd say so, if you're into really cheesy music. I mean, really, I'm never gonna listen to this for any other reason than 'Well, there's some game music I wanna listen to.' It's quite over-produced too. Don't get me wrong, the production is really really good, there's just... too much of it. Lost its human touch.

Protricity's best? Try Brambles in the Breeze. That song blows me away every time I listen to it. And it isn't cheesy.

[dmauro]

Brambles in the Breeze was certainly my favorite Protricity until this came along, but I'm not sure how much of that is due to the fact that I'm such a huge fan of bramble blast. I think it's already a great song, and he did some great things to it, but it's not as exciting as Neighburgers. Again though, I've never heard the original, so I can't compare, but I will go download the original track and check it out.

I'm not sure what you mean by cheesy in this context. I didnt' pick up on that at all. I actually thought the song had a very honest and sincere sense of humor. And it was heavily produced, but I don't think that it hurts the song, and is in fact one of my favorite things about it. I rarely hear songs with this amount of "stuff" going into it and having it all work together to produce a pretty amazing whole.

just listening to this song some more, and wow. it's just so good. okay, off to grab the original...

[Kuwanger]

This ones actually pretty cool... For some reason i like this kinda noisy-atari-like music. Hmm.. However, i like BrainsickMetal better.

[bonerxsxex]

I *love* this. Something interesting is always happening... and it just feels so "full"...

great

5/5

[DinGk]

this is a very gooooooooood remix...it has jus the rite sounds and everything

[FMchubs]

Enjoyable.

[zircon]

very cool stuff. From personal experience, I can tell you that it's very hard to make 'full' mixes like this one, and very hard to sequence guitars and solos in the kickass way Prot does. The whole mix is just amazing, with tons of energy and great synth/drum work. This is probably his best work, narrowly beating out KRool (which was also excellent).

[MangoMan]

this is one of the (if not THE) best mp3's in my collection

better than both Wormaphobic Disorder and Brainsick Metal, my two previously favorite Protricity remixes.

[danny B]

This dude will never stop amazing me.

Neighburgers originally sounded like a cheesy-ass cover of a quirky tune, but after a few more listens, the complexity just oozes out.

The honky-tonk piano is spot-on. The harmonies that slowly eek in and out of the mix with that creepy ep make me feel all chilly inside. The transitions are abrupt, but at the same time refreshingly original. I LOVE the intricacy at sections like 2:34 that signify a huge amount of thought put into the presentation of even the minor details. As is standard in Protricity pieces, a high level of sonic detail is present, but this track totally takes the cake with sheer micromanagement of every timbre and rhythmic detail.

The bridge starting at 3:22 makes me want to cry, it's so damned good. Makes me feel all mushy. It's a simple section, but he's done well to keep it interesting with a very emotive progression and a wailing, melodramatic lead.

The odd thing is, I wouldn't say the sound quality is at all stellar, in fact it very much sounds tracked. But Prot has once and now - again, proved that a (very) firm grasp of EQ, mixing and solid arrangement can plow through any sample discrepancies.

I'm a fanboy. Count me in.

-D

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

I haven't already posted my comments? Okay, here they are:
Beautiful & eccletic remix. D/led the original and you've done a lot with the original theme, nice. I think it's rockin', creepy and very professionally done. Best Prot mix? It's right alongside Forest Birdcussion IMO, I don't get why people like Brainsick Metal past the arrangement...

But yes, a wonderful remix. Very delightfully devilish, keep up the good work Prot.
10/10

(Guess I should try this ZAMN game, people seem to like it...)

[chokst~1.bat]

Woah, Mazedude and his oldskool demon have just met their fuckin' rival of musical depth. :lol:

[benevolensaurus]

Very, very nice. This has been my favorite mix for a while. Never played the game or heard the original, but still, good music is good music.

Just great.

[DJ Riott]

Wow, i see the thread right as the song comes on. yay.

Cheesy or no, its amazing. Plus, look at the song name and the game its from.. i think its alright.

It rocks out hard, and has so much going on, it takes 3 listens just to figure it out. Not a mix for the intellectually inapt.

[Klay]

Oh the irony.

Also a belated congratulations to Prot, thought there is some competition between this and Forest Birdcussion I must agree this is your best yet.

[aequalitas]

AWESOME MIX!!!

im not into industrial music that much... so, i wonder if somebody could tell me about an artist/band with a similar sound to this mix

thanks in advance
sorry, but my english sucks

[A-RoN]

Wow, it's good to see Prot took a break from DKC2 mixing and branched on to a game with Grit back when I was a kid.

This has a great mixture of alot of stuff that I enjoy. The honky-tonky piano made me smile, the organ is great, the orchestral hits are wierd but they work. This mix shows that Protricity has a great sense of humour when it comes to musicianship even if things seem a little loud and unequalized, and too distorted for my taste, IMO. Most of it seems tracked as Dan B. stated before, but I can look past that with an open mind.

What I see out of all this is a well-cooked receipe of the original quirk-ish track.

This remix makes me hungry! I want more Neighborgurs!

[FiremanJoe]

i love this mix and i cant fault it... where can i find more mixes like it?

[Txai]

ARGH!!

THIS SHIT IS QUITE AMAZING!! THE INSTRUMENTS AND THE PRODUCTION ARE PERFECT!!! PROTRICITY IS STILL EXCELLENT IN TERMS OF QUALITY!!!! X__X

[Cyanide cr MK]

This is, in all honesty, one of the greatest songs I have ever heard, period. Great job. Keep up the good work Ill keep listening.

[Shwenky]

I have this game for the SNES, and Prot's remix really does justice to the game's inventive soundtrack. Too bad he got banned... :(

[Cell]

He got banned? For what?


Great remix by the way.

[Txai]

He got banned? For what?

In my knowledge, he was banned because he was a bit arrogant in the community.

[Audity]

I don't like how the treble percussion is panned to the right ear too much. It's really really strange I haven't heard anyone mention it. Does no one listen with headphones? Makes listening with headphones really painful at a volume I usually enjoy other music, along with the fact that it makes the whole song rather unenjoyable, especially when it's become one of my favorite mixes from here otherwise. Good thing I plan to one day only listen with ultra speaker equipment! I kind of hate headphones anyway.

WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE SAY WHERE PROT HAS GONE? EVEN "QUIT THE INTERNET" IS A BETTER RESPONSE THAN NOTHING. He's nowhere.

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

I've officially listened to all the OCR's up to date as of my writing this (except those taken out) and this track is one of my all time favourites.

When it came up I was head-bashing and giving the horns; a response I think is only fitting for this track.

[Dark Vagabond]

A few mixes actually sound just as great two years after first hearing them, this is certainly one of them. :D

Nothing much to it really, I loved the old game and the sense of insanity and intensity from this mix owns.

[grendizer]

One of the best remixes and songs I've ever heard in my life. GREAT job man

[jelloegg]

I LOVE this song. I can't remember how many times I've actually listened to this song. I also play it in the car. ;)

[HoboKa]

jeebus mist!! Why havn't I reviewed this song yet??? It easily deserves 9/10 at the LEAST 10/10 is what i give though :D

[Subz1987]

holy shit, dude. This song is full of so much win. Awesome reMix from an awesome reMixer. Good job dude on this reMix. 10/10

[CuNaMo]

To date I have downloaded over 100 songs from this site and "Neighburgers" is still my all time favorite! Awesome song!

[Monobrow]

This is a really really great song, even if it drives me fucking bonkers.

Protricity is a spaz.

Five stars or something.

[The_Mighty_KELP]

This is so many adjectives that mean "good," I can't even say them all. Protricity is my #1 favorite musical artist, and this piece is pretty much why. I can't even write a proper review for it, it's that amazing. Not a single note is out of place. Of all the remixes on the website, this has to be the greatest of them all. Protricity is a musical genius, and this is his Mona Lisa. This is what awesomeness sounds like. If Chuck Norris was a song, he would be Neighburgers. If this song was put on a scale of 1 to 10, it'd create a critical error in the scale from it trying to display too many digits.

...I know I'm kinda gushy, but... this song deserves it. =D

[OA]

Some really nice ideas, but dizamn, that guitar drags things down when it plays. The arrangement is sick as hell though, and that's what keeps me interested for the entire thing. Great variation and some excellent ideas and additional rhythms.

Some of the high frequencies get a little overpowering in some areas, but overall this one is incredible. Nice work, Prot. :-)
