OCR01280 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV 'Waste Water Wipeout'

[djpretzel]

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

[defender!!]

Lovin' this. Almost got an epic Big Beat feel to it, something akin to Crystal Method and Chemical Brothers, although decidedly different. This song is excellent. 9 / 10.

[tyler_lucero]

2nd post...w00t! I LOVE the beat layered with the synth pads here, and the little dropout at 2'43 is just sweet. This remix flows together so well, it's hard to believe it's a colaberation...nice work, guys! 9.8/10 :)

[ILLiterate]

Makes me want to dance(which is a VERY bad thing), I tried to remix this song into a loop a couple of days ago and it came out NOTHING like this badass mutha, and I especally love those violins and drum/bg fx used in this one. Greatness In a MP3, I'll be listening to this for a while 10/10

[Rellik]

A great feat for both tefnek and zirc - really catchy stuff! I especially like the low-key breaks with that awesome sync lead - the rest is cool too, what with the cheesy bass and the shrill leads. Percussion is good too, very distinctive. I really like that sync lead. Sync is my favorite form of modulation, by far. Like ever.

Ok, enough about sync. OSC SYNC RULES!

No, seriously. Osc sync is the bomb and this mix is good and tefnek is good and zircon is good.

[phantomINTELLECT]

very cooooooooool upbeat song. It is very true to the orginal and reminds me of the days I first got my SNES back in the day. This is the first game I got for it too, so it holds a special place in my heart.

[RoeTaKa]

I remember hearing the wip of this back a while ago, and it's come off really well since then. Some of the chord changes in this really are soothing, great to listen too. As electronic and mad beats this is, it's a great comfortable listen. I love the injection of funk and disco into this, comes of really nice.
Nothing much else to say really, my fingers are beat, I'm off to sleep! Goodnight you two crazy music doers.

[dr_amazing]

i love it. i really like the one part where it breifly drops back to the orginal sound at 2:40. the only thing i would have added would be some crys of "MY TOE!! MY TOE" but that's just a big part of that song for me.

[DrEw.]

This game has (and you probably won't agree with me) one of the best soundtracks ever made. Think about it. Youve got that one, the main one, the train, the boat, the elevator was sweet, neon night riders was the shit. Almost every level in the game has memorable music. Memorable gameplay? I dunno.

[Beatdrop]

*jealous* Aww! I wanted to do a song with tefnek!

Haha, anyway, this remix rocks out. Fantastic programming of FL's BooBass makes it sound pretty damn realistic and makes for one hella funky bassline. The drums are like AE meets Mint Royale, which is pretty standard fare for tefnek, but it's something he does fantastically. I love the chiptune breakdown in the middle, too. Great string work reminds me of tefnek's "Damn I'm Cool," and makes for a super lively and massive addition to this song. It all layers together really nicely, and you're left with a masterful electronic composition.

Nice work.

[LiquidTrance]

finally some more turtles are on the site. great job. very close to the original yet decidingly different.

[CarnCarby]

Oh man, the memories... I definitely second the "toe" comment, that would've been hilarious. Anywho, awesome mix.

[arias]

Great funk! I love the contrasting sounds of the samples, from the modern synth to the NES sounds in 2:40; they're just used perfectly in conjunction to each other. One thing I'd complain about is the Strings SFX involved earlier around 2:30 I guess; it was a little out of place.

I love the introduction; the sounds and style of the articulation is really catchy. I would ask for a more staccato sound of the general synth in 0:30; it seems like the articulation there is a little lazy. Right, I love the mass of sounds; it brings alot of crazy textures and colors but also manages to keep it's main direction/melody in the spotlight.

It's a great listen; the breaks are placed juuuust right, like the one in 2:55, and the sounds evolve in a natural manner. Great work.

[Azure Prower]

I must comment! This track is excellent.

Another success of Zircon. I've heard his other two tacks and they're awesome, I didn't even know he was involved in this one until I started listening to it. Well done.

Tefnek deserves credit too ofcourse, also heard like one of your other peices of work, it was good as well. Made an excellent track teaming up with Zircon.

Well done to the both of you.

[zircon]

hey, thanks for the comments everyone! I just want to add a few words to djp's review :D

Basically, this was a seamless collab - we sent a project file back and forth because we use the same sequencer, and used synths effects and samples that we both had, so we could easily tweak eachother's work. It was truly a blast working with tefnek, and I give him most of the credit for this. The way it generally went was I'd throw down some arrangement and synth ideas, and he'd take those and, essentially, make them go crazy. Of course, I tried to do that too (I'm glad he was there to fix it up) and he put in his arrangement and synth ideas as well. We ended up with more audio tracks, effects, and patterns than I had ever used before.. I really learned a lot.

Bottom line is that it was an extremely fun project, especially for me because I got to work in a style I love but had never tried before, with someone who (imo) has mastered that style.

Glad people are enjoying it!

[Andlynx]

This remix is awesome!!. I have listened to it for almost an hour, over and over and over and over... you'll have to pay my therapy guys! :lol:

Terrific work!. Congratulations.

[Chris McGee]

Very tight electronica/bigbeat action from tefnek and zircon. Sequencing, transitions, modulations and sampling - all excellently taken care of. Love the NSF breakdown. Great work. :D

[RimFrost the Tourianist]

i truly enjoy the songs on tefnek's site, and with zircon collaborating it's a guaranteed success.
Funny and funky as well as synthy and spunky .

A nice tribute to the hippy green pizza-guzzling sewage turds we/I grew up with :o

[kablammyman]

This mix is well done! I like this mix a lot...I can do the robot to this easily. 8)

[big giant circles]

this is really enjoyable! makes me wish i was a ninja! well done!

[ESHbyESH]

whoa! Sounds great.

[Captain Regular]

Un-be-fricking-lievable. I wasn't even going to bother with a Turtles remix. I had forgotten how good this soundtrack was, and really just did it because I was bored on the forums and they were slow. I'm glad I got this. I knew instantly that I loved it. I must have listened to it at least 20 times today, and it never gets old. Not since AEs MM2 remixes has anything been this...captivating. Mad props.

[ella guro]

This is really cool - awesome synth programming and neat new ideas and changeups in the arrangement are thrown in throughout the mix. My only complaint is that the strings sounded slightly out of tune. That didn't bother me too much, though, and overall I'd say this is one of the best electronica mixes on this site that I've heard.

[Coucou]

Nice groove; various breaks and transitions.
Also liked the "8 bit section" @2:41,
quite well integrated in the mix.

[OttoKrieg]

This remix kicks my ass. Thanks guys!

[watkinzez]

Awesome collab between two excellent electronic artists. This is sort of similar to AE's stuff with lots of tempo changes and ideas in the arrangement, except a lot louder, which in this case is a good thing, and a helluva lot more funkier (no offense to AE's songs though). "Wicked" work!

[mrjag]

Seriously, if I listen this remix and bet the guy who made it, I didn't lose. We can smell Tefnek miles away. I can turn on my mental mp3 player and listen Airborne anywhere, anytime. :lol:

And when both of you will team up again? We are waiting. :D

Ok, about the music:
After the remix process, yet seems a TMNT track, very, very, very improved, of course.
The nostalgia break 2:40 could last a little longer with some others things happening.

[IC]

Incredible. One of my favorite electronic songs to listen to ever, not just on OCR. It never gets dull--not for a second. And everybody loves the chiptune break at 2:40, and rightfully so, but my fave is right after that: from 2:55 to 3:30 kicks more ass than...your mom...or something that kicks lots of ass. The organs at the end seem *slightly* out of place, but they do add a little jazzy, funky flavor for the climax.

The synth work is very impressive. Grade A.

I too am baffled at the seamlessness of this collab. Excellent work all around, guys.

9.9999999999/10

Ah what the hell, 10.-00000000001/10!

[ellywu2]

this song is the dogs bollocks.
Nuff said.

[qwertycho]

This song rocks! Brings back the good ol' turtle days. But at the same time it's crispy and provides crunch... the kind of crunch that you and I like.

Well, if that doesn't make sense, just download the song and you'll understand.

[RoyBatty]

I found this site a few days ago and I have been furiously downloading ever since. So far, I've heard some incredible mixes but this one takes the cake, absolutely. Brilliant work.

My iPod is very happy (and so am I).

[MisterBiggler]

Yeah this shit is hot; I'm def. loving the drums. 2:41-55 is fantastic. Makes me wanna bust the SNES out. Good ish, yall.

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

Part of what makes this song so cool is that if you know zircon and/or tefnek's styles, it's a delightful fusion of both. Much like Clairvoyant Elegy (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01285/) is a good fusion of TO's & Bladiator's styles.

Very cool little song. Collabs always rock, ninja turtles rock, music rocks, rocks rock... rock.

[Martin Penwald]

TMNT4 had, IMO, one of the best soundtracks of the SNES era, and we definitely need more ReMixes (Alleycat Blues anyone?). After listening to this version, I just had to listen to the whole soundtrack again (spc files ftw).

About this ReMix: I really like what you guys made of it. The original tune is incorporated very nicely. I like it how it breaks down a little after the 8-Bit part, picks up some speed, then becomes rather quiet, before it explodes again, getting even better at 3:57.

Gimme more of dat!

[Psychotic Ninja]

I have always loved TMNT IV: Turtles in Time, and the soundtrack, so hearing a remix of the Sewage level made me smile.

[GrrDraxin]

I like this remix alot, even though I haven't heard the source material. And if you're like me and like to mess with music with some simple plug-ins, then you'll love messing with this song with Chronotron.

This song sounds best, and gets a good lengthening when set at roughly 3/4 of it's original tempo and key, roughly 70.7% and -600 cents.

That also allows you to hear all the fun things they did in this mix.

Kudos to you!

[zircon]

Hehe, yeah... most of the time it was me laying down the more basic stuff and tefnek sort of took it and went nuts. He's the man.

Absolutely agree. Can't say better.. :)

Thank you guys for this fantastic remix! Hope there will be more.. :)

[Marmiduke]

NICE. I think the best thing about this mix is that it waits until we are really in the thick of everything going on before it reveals its hand, and then continues to layer surprises on top of that. Never boring for a millisecond.
I've been completely ignorant of the TMNT soundtracks my whole life, as I've never been a Turtles fan (blasphemy?), but I'm very happy that there is an community set up with the goal to get me to appreciate it against all odds. This is some really great stuff.
This mix is a big deal. For the site, and in general.

[42]

My main complaint against this is that the melody isn't to prominent; it feels buried deep in the mix.

Also, while this is what I would describe as a narrow sounding mix, an impressive amount of stuff happens in there, and that's really, really cool. :shock:
It's really interesting to here all the variations possible within a given set of limitations. It makes for a rare and interesting listen.
Ultimately, I really like this mix a lot.

[OA]

Some super awesome effects and rhythms added to a great source makes me pretty happy- The one thing that doesn't stand up to the awesomeness of the rest of the track is the ending, which sortof sputters out when it should finish strong. Otherwise solid and interesting- a great collab. :-)

[Crulex]

Oh, yeah, I can hear tefnek and Zircon's stuff in here for sure. This is just one of those tracks where the styles blend together. Amazingly well played off each other. The 8-bit part had to be my favorite. Good track built from TMNT's best game!
