Tales Series: Summoning of Spirits - History

[KyleJCrb]

Welcome to the project, Tepid. THINGS ARE HAPPENING OMG

[Ikuaod2]

Welcome to the project, Tepid. THINGS ARE HAPPENING OMG

Holy Starting-to-happen-project Batman!

[DeathShadow]

Any estimates about when it'll be released?

[KyleJCrb]

Nope, not yet.

[HoboKa]

What's that? You're adding Tales of the Abyss in this project as well? Ok :D

I wish =(

[KyleJCrb]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA no. We have more than enough as is. :P

[Kureejii Lea]

We really should have just done a Motoi Sakuraba project. Baten Kaitos battle themes need love. Oh wells.

[HoboKa]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA no. We have more than enough as is. :P

hehe - I figured as much. F*ck, Tales of the Abyss would be like what? An additional 40 songs? lol. Oh, and good luck on your project boys 'n girls...and whatever other gender... :D

[HoboKa]

We really should have just done a Motoi Sakuraba project. Baten Kaitos battle themes need love. Oh wells.

man, that chick on ur picture has got big boobs. How does she keep them from popping out of that skimpy top??

[KyleJCrb]

The other 2 games on the project have roughly 20 tracks from each game, so IF we did add TotA, it'd also be about 20 tracks.

But we're not adding TotA. Sorry. :-P

hehe, i know, i know *tears*. Just wistfull thinkige

[Kureejii Lea]

Being that she's one of the summon spirits, I'd have to answer "magic."

[HoboKa]

the magic of WaltDisney?

[Kureejii Lea]

If you want to discuss something other than the project, post elsewhere.

[pu_freak]

What's the plan of release with this project anyway?
mp3's only, or are you adding FLAC and/or other stuff?

[KyleJCrb]

FLAC and MP3.

[HoboKa]

If you want to discuss something other than the project, post elsewhere.

lol, fine :P, I just got bored is all.

[DeathShadow]

What's holding up the project (other than songs that need to be completed).

And if it's just the songs, what's holding up everyone?

[KyleJCrb]

The project is not currently being "held up" as you put it. There is progress being made. It won't be quick, and I AM NOT going to say when the project will be out, as I honestly cannot tell you with any confidence. But things are happening, and there is progress.

*begins to sharpen another knife...* :P

[The Joker]

Long story short, the project will be hardcore as hell. When you finally do hear it, your face will melt & you'll be transported to another dimension, ala that episode of "Billy & Mandy" in which Mandy smiles & the world ends. Hoozah!

[KyleJCrb]

It's true.

Also, Hoboka: Lea has a lead pipe. Lead pipe is pretty heavy and it tends to hurt. :-P

[HoboKa]

lol fine, I'll just have to hire.... the Richard Simmons Robot!! That'll speed things up!!

Shakedy shake shake shake... HIS BUTT'S GONNA BLOW!!

[KyleJCrb]

This really isn't the thread for an off-topic discussion Hoboka.

[HoboKa]

This really isn't the thread for an off-topic discussion Hoboka.

that's not to say that ALL the other convos here were on topic too :P. But I'll get out of your hair.

[Ciran]

We really should have just done a Motoi Sakuraba project. Baten Kaitos battle themes need love. Oh wells.

About Baten Kaitos.. are there any songs that are remixed from Baten Kaitos? I couldn't find anything.
Some songs are really cool ^^

[KyleJCrb]

I haven't seen any...

[Chickenwarlord]

As much as I'm looking forward to this, I'd like to say that quality is more important than quantity. Here's to a great project.

[Kureejii Lea]

The quantity is due to covering two games. Doesn't mean we're not going for quality.

[KyleJCrb]

Alright, I'm putting out a call here.

Anyone who wants to take on this track (http://www.kylejcrb.com/talesproject/temp/gamesongs/01%20-%20TALES%20OF%20SYMPHONIA.mp3), has some previous quality work with which to show me as an audition, and plans on finishing the track in something resembling a timely manner please contact me. I kicked the person who was doing it, so now we need someone else. Maybe it could be YOU!

If we can get someone for this song and a certain SnappleMan to get to work on a certain Fighting of the Spirit we may actually be on our way to something of some sort of release type thing, or something. SO HELP US YOU MUSIC MAKING FOOLS

[Forty-second]

That's too bad the old "Tales of Symphonia" got kicked. Will you release the version of that as it stands as an extra track or something? I vaguely remember hearing it in one of the previews and liked what I was hearing.

[KyleJCrb]

That's a possibility. I liked it as well.

[pu_freak]

What's a "release"?


I might try to tackle ToS... I'll see what I can do

[The Joker]

I'd try it... but I have way too many songs on this here project, ROCK!

[KyleJCrb]

Hemo was the first to talk to me about it, so the track is his.

[KyleJCrb]

Some news:

-Currently negotiating with somebody to remix the opening version of Fighting of the Spirit (ToP).

-Decisive (ToP) has been removed.

-Standing the Pain (ToS) has been added.

-Triumph (ToP) has been added.

[KyleJCrb]

ULTRA KILL:

-FotS (intro version) now has a remixer. Or should I say, remixers. woot.

-Raising a Curtain has been re-added.

[SomeCrazyGuy]

As stupid as this may sound, and as much as I know that the other songs will be awesome beyond the trifling descriptions of any tongue, I am looking forward to the 'Beat the Angel' mix most of all... Awesome song, and I'm curious of just how the song will be done.

With each passing day, I fall further to the edge of my seat... I await thy 1337ness.

[KyleJCrb]

I think you'll be in for quite a surprise. Christian Pacaud has done some awesome things with that song. :)

[The Joker]

I think you'll be in for quite a surprise. Christian Pacaud has done some awesome things with that song. :)

vis a vis, it's sucktastic! Nah, I'm just joshing, it'll probably rock, I'm pretty sure I've heard it... & it rocked then, if I'm right, so yeah, ROCK!

[SomeCrazyGuy]

I think you'll be in for quite a surprise. Christian Pacaud has done some awesome things with that song. :)

Heh, simply in reading that, I smiled. Can't wait!
n_n

[KyleJCrb]

Well, having some problems with the website. It's still there (http://72.21.48.250/~kylejc5/forum/index.php), but the domain name expired, so it's not accessible through the standard way right now. For some reason I can't re-register the domain either, even though it hasn't been released yet. I'll see what I can do.

[pu_freak]

It was quite a surprise I can tell you :P Guess I'll have to update my favorites

Ehh... every log in link links to the www.kylejcrb.com site. Can't log in and can't see the forums

[andyjayne]

You can't login to the forums the normal way either as when you login it takes you to old address. If you just copy the session id from the url that you are taken to and paste it on the other one you can still login.

[KyleJCrb]

What worked for me was just hitting Back and refreshing the main index page after logging in.

[KyleJCrb]

Well, kylejcrb.com is a lost cause until June 15, 2008. That's what happens when I forget to pay the bill, I guess.

I've picked up kylejcrb.net. The DNS hasn't resolved yet, but it should be up and back to normal soon. I'll post links when it's ready.

[andyjayne]

Well, kylejcrb.com is a lost cause until June 15, 2008.
That sucks. :(

[Kureejii Lea]

Well crap. We didn't lose anything, did we? No recent WIPs were just uploaded or anything?

[KyleJCrb]

No no no, just the domain name is gone. The site, in its entirety, is still there, along with everything that's been uploaded recently. I'm having some problems getting kylejcrb.net to work properly (I'm gonna have to talk to the Tech Support hosting my site and figure out how they can change which domain name the site points to), so it may be a day or two before we can get that to work. In the meantime, this will remain our main base of operations, since my forums are kinda difficult to deal with right now (as pu pointed out). If you have any WIPs or finished songs, please send them to me or Lea via PM at these boards.

EDIT: Okay, the forums should be fixed. You can access them here, and log in normally: http://72.21.48.250/~kylejc5/forum/index.php

[Kureejii Lea]

Ah, gotcha. I was thinking like everything contained had been eaten or something, not just the name itself.

[The Mutericator]

KYLE YOU DID THIS JUST TO HIDE FROM ME DIDN'T YOU

YOU CAN'T ESCAPE ME

I WILL HAUNT YOU UNTIL THIS PROJECT IS COMPLETE

AND THEN YOU WILL NEVER SEE ME AGAIN

until you do another project of a game i like

[KyleJCrb]

Who are you?

Oh, I know who you are. How/why did you change your name?

And another project? I'm not really seeing that happening.

[Arek the Absolute]

yo kyle and lea
aim asap plz

[Kureejii Lea]

I can't. I'm not at home.

[OverCoat]

Hey Kyle nice site dude

[KyleJCrb]

hey overcoat read the thread

it kinda tells you what happened

[OverCoat]

Yeah, thanks for like posting it somewhere in the center of the fucking thread list in a sub-sub-sub post

anyway

I would so hit that

[KyleJCrb]

As a note, the Shoutbox is broken (think this has been mentioned, but it's worth mentioning again, I guess), and you will not stay logged in upon leaving the site: You have to log in each time you visit the forums.

I still haven't heard back from my host about switching the domain name. Urgh...

she's decent.

[KyleJCrb]

Her lips look really weird.

EDIT: I just realized that she looks a lot like Keira Knightley. Or at least reminds me of her.

[Darkflamewolf]

So what is the status on the project? Last I checked it was in the same spot it was 6 month ago, and then the site went down. Not looking good just from general impressions right there, so I'm trying to get info from the source.

[KyleJCrb]

Lots of changes were made right before the site went down (and if you'd actually go back and read the previous page or two, you'll find out what happened and see that it's not really down (http://72.21.48.250/~kylejc5/forum/), I just made a mistake and lost the domain name) and the status list has been changed a lot, with new remixers coming on board, and new songs added. The project is definitely NOT in the same state it was in 6 months ago: Please do some research and look at the track listing in the first post of this very thread before posting such ill-informed assumptions. This is far from dead.

[Kureejii Lea]

No progress in six months? Bwaaaahahahahaha. What bull.

[The Joker]

Also, I'm working on a totally revamped, uber better revision to the remix of Freeze.

[Chickenwarlord]

As much as it saddens me to see Decisive off the list, it gives me new strength to wait.
Hope the new version of Freeze will pass the judges panel Joker :).

[The Joker]

I'm actually not entirely sure I'm gonna submit Freeze again. That's a decision for another time, later on in the future, a bridge yet to cross for the fact that it is far away.

[KyleJCrb]

As much as it saddens me to see Decisive off the list, it gives me new strength to wait.
Hope the new version of Freeze will pass the judges panel Joker :).

You have no idea how much it hurt to drop that one. Snapple said he was almost done with it, but he never came through on that one or FoTS. :(

[Monobrow]

new crazy wip up that is pretty crazy

[DeathShadow]

If decisive is off the list, can you post the song? Or is this something I have to ask snapple myself?

Also, it's always nice to know that Reu's song (that I've obsessively been waiting to hear for... about a year now) is COMPRETE :p

[KyleJCrb]

If Snapple does make a comeback (which I'm inviting him to do, if he happens to read this) and does finish what he claimed to be a near-complete song (though I never heard that version), then I will add it back to the project.

If I don't get a complete song from him before this thing finally does come out, I will make the WIP he sent me a part of the bonus package. You can ask himself, although I can't guarantee he'll be nice enough to send it to you. :p

[Hemophiliac]

i just posted a near complete version of tales of symphonia over on the forums...go check it out.

[XG Beatz]

I would like to participate in this project, but I'm not sure how high the quality standards are set, so I would like to hear a preview or something so I can judge for myself if I'm up to the level.

[Mae]

If after hearing a preview, you are in fact interested in joining the project you will have to wait for Lea or Kyle to come online and give you more info, because I don't know if they are still bringing people on or not - since they want to get this thing done as soon as possible.

Basically, as a site project they want OCR quality and better. Many of the songs I have heard include live instruments when suitable.

Here's a link to the Tales Project forum, and it has the latest 2 previews of music from the project. CLICK ME! (http://72.21.48.250/~kylejc5/forum/viewtopic.php?t=344&sid=e020f285ca4e47c2e7122e14f6df6389)

Kyle or Lea should be around eventually. Kyle's under the weather - so he'll be at his computer at sporadic intervals throughout the day, but I don't know if Lea is even around a computer at the moment.

[KyleJCrb]

There are also these tracks by Hale-Bopp (http://72.21.48.250/~kylejc5//talesproject/songs/HaleBopp-BeyondAbsentminded(BeAbsentminded).mp3) and djpretzel (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01500/) which are direct from the project. Both should give you an idea of the quality we're looking for.

[Kureejii Lea]

but I don't know if Lea is even around a computer at the moment.

Yeah, I've been country-hopping lately. I should be here for a few stable days at least though, though probably not on AIM much. Kyle, can I send project-related shtuffs to your gmail account?

[KyleJCrb]

Yes'm, you can. Send anything and everything there.

[XG Beatz]

@KyleJCrb (http://ocremix.org/forums/member.php?u=2230)
The 2 tracks in the topic that you link to don't work unfortunly.


Hmm, I was hoping to hear some real orchestral arrangement, I didn't expect rock and dance-like things on these remixes(Hale-Bopp & DJ Pretzel)...
Both sound very good, don't get me wrong, but it doesn't give me the real image of what kind of quality you're looking for.
So,
Are there any orchestral previews available?

[Hale-Bopp]

If you're expecting realistic orchestral arrangements, then you're probably gonna be disappointed with the rest of the songs on the project, as they're mostly done in various styles of rock. The majority of them being country and southern rock style with vocals. But mostly country. Think Shania Twain and Keith Urban. That's kinda what we're going for here.

But yeah, what I've heard sounds great so far!

[XG Beatz]

Oh, nothing for me then, I'm very interested in composing, arranging and orchestratingfilm and movie scores, but I've yet to find something that I can work on seriously, taking my time.

[Hemophiliac]

But yeah, what I've heard sounds great so far!

gee thanks!

but yeah there are a few orchestral works, there's a couple i can think of off the top of my head that are on the project.

Hahahahahaha. I would actually LOVE to hear something done in southern rock style on this project.

We are actually covering a wide variety of styles with this project, though Hale is right in that the dominant one is along the lines of varying forms of rock. However, there are some incredible straight-up orchestral arrangements from Christian Pacaud, TheDeath, Usa, and Hemophiliac (and some others that I'm probably forgetting) that are certainly epic movie score-worthy. One of them has even already been accepted by the OCR judge's panel. Since you are curious, XG, I will send you a link to a track for you to hear.

[XG Beatz]

The track that http://ocremix.org/forums/images/avatars/games/segasonic/sonicadv_tikal.gif (http://ocremix.org/forums/member.php?u=2230) KyleJCrb (http://ocremix.org/forums/member.php?u=2230) sent me(made bu TheDeath) is an excellent track wich definatly tops lots of songs in movie scores.

And I have determined for myself that I need to practice a little more before I attempt something here.

[Fionn]

If you're expecting realistic orchestral arrangements, then you're probably gonna be disappointed with the rest of the songs on the project, as they're mostly done in various styles of rock.

Are we talking rock arrangements a la Black Mages?

[KyleJCrb]

Are we talking rock arrangements a la Black Mages?

Sure, but we're better than those guys.

And we do have orchestral: Hale's just yankin' chains.

[The Joker]

I've got at least 2 orchestral tracks on there. One of them is an awesome 3 way (mind outta the gutter) collab! 3 ways are awesome (minds outta the... you know what, just... perverts).

[Fishy]

Bah, that guitar is in dire need of redoing.

[SargeSmash]

Come back, Snappleman! Please!

[Sixto]

OMFGWhen does it come outLOL?!

If there's still time, I wouldn't mind redoing my "Chaotic Heart" remix. I did that in like 3 days because I thought you wanted it fast. <_<

[KyleJCrb]

OMFGWhen does it come outLOL?!

If there's still time, I wouldn't mind redoing my "Chaotic Heart" remix. I did that in like 3 days because I thought you wanted it fast. <_<

Yeah, I thought I wanted it fast too. Sorry about making you work like that. Things didn't exactly go as planned, so go ahead and rework it. :)

[The Joker]

I've lready reworked like... 3 of my tracks already. Man, I really need to get on the ball with that last one.

[herograw]

/me looks around..

Well, mirror is still available. happy mixing

[andyjayne]

One of them is an awesome 3 way (mind outta the gutter) collab!
Bah, that guitar is in dire need of redoing.
I completely reproduced the track yesterday and edited some of your guitar recordings a bit so that they don't sound odd in many of the places. The new version sounds way cooler.

Edit: I'm also going to completely reproduce my other tracks for the project.

[The Joker]

Actually, that particular three way (though, ours=awesome) was the one between Kureeji, Hemo, & I. You know, since we were talking about pure orchestral music. But, yeah, I can't wait to hear the new version of Apogee, as it was pretty damn awesome on my stereo set up (hint: send it to me).

[KyleJCrb]

Alright, I think we'll try this due date thing again. I apologize for not being around; I've been working at a new job for the last several weeks, so I haven't been putting forth much effort in contacting lately. Also I'm having to work the closing shift at work, so I'm working at the time the rest of you are probably at home. :P

Here's what I want to do.

For those that have new song assignments (as in, not reworking previously complete material): WIP OR NEW UPDATES TO CURRENT WIP DUE AUGUST 26th
PriZm Plear, Dr. Draw, & Dhsu - Fighting of the Spirit
pu_freak - Triumph (Royal Treatment)
Andy Jayne - Raising a Curtain
Hemophiliac - Tales of Symphonia
Hemophiliac, Master Hatchet - Last Battle (Vinheim's Key)
Monobrow - Standing the Pain

For those reworking otherwise previously complete material: FINISHED REWORKS DUE SEPTEMBER 6th
The Joker - Freeze (Cold Memory)
LuIzA & CarboHydroM - Fatalize (Strike of the Devil's Axes)
Master Hatchet - Like a Glint of Light (At the Gates of Hell)
Sixto Sounds - Raine's Theme (Chaotic Heart)

Last chance: ALL SONGS DUE SEPTEMBER 31st

September 31st isn't the final release date, by the way. But it won't be long after then.

[The Joker]

I should also say, I'm considering renaming Cold Memory. But, eh, we'll see.

[KyleJCrb]

I think Lea would have your head for it, but if you do so insist, there's only one option: Cold Mammaries.









Ah, reviving old forum in-jokes is always fun.

[Kureejii Lea]

I think Lea would have your head for it, but if you do so insist, there's only one option: Cold Mammaries.


I'd kill someone either way.

[KyleJCrb]

I'd kill someone either way.

Curses, foiled again!

[The Joker]

Cold Mammaries it is! Make it so... also, I jusht kidding!

[Chickenwarlord]

Only CptPicard can say that.
And looking at the track list once again I notice the absence of both Vigorous Town and Harmonious Moment and am reminded of how sad this makes me.

[KyleJCrb]

Only CptPicard can say that.
And looking at the track list once again I notice the absence of both Vigorous Town and Harmonious Moment and am reminded of how sad this makes me.

Harmonious Moment was on the list at one point if I remember correctly, but like some other songs, was removed in an attempt to expedite the projects' completion (which of course, has failed miserably :-P).

[Chickenwarlord]

I'll see if I can work with it. I have had a great deal of hardship arranging Sakuraba in the past, because I feel like I'm ruining a priceless painting by drawing a mustache on the central figure, if you know what I mean.

[pu_freak]

I was going to do Vigorous Town, but I chose for Triumph instead. It's a little late now to start another mix, but I promise you I will make a remix of that tune one way or the other

[Monobrow]

Hey dudes, this is a bump because this project is awesome

[The Joker]

... I hate you monobrow.

[Monobrow]

this means war

[CPacaud]

I think I heard my name.

[Rexy]

Even though the project has gone on for so long, I'm still in anticipation to hear it all in its released form. Not only that, but I'm now destined to actually invest on Tales of Symphonia once I get my hands on a Wii and a set of Gamecube peripherals :)

[Arek the Absolute]

You will absolutely love it.
No doubt in my mind.

[TrueLugia121]

heh i belive this can be finished in time fer the Chinese Olympics in 2008 :). still it should work out fabulously though.

[DeathShadow]

I havent forgoten this project andHOOLY SHIT!!

Kyle, you cant do that to snappleman :( ... delay the project for 15 years if it takes him that long.

:p

[Kureejii Lea]

We didn't do anything to Snappleman. He didn't turn anything in, dropped out of contact and seemingly expressed being no longer interested in helping out. Very unfortunate, but we can't wait around for something that's not gonna happen.

[KyleJCrb]

If he comes to me with something finished, I'll let him back on. That goes for most anyone.

[The Joker]

Then why won't you let me back on the project. It's because of that love letter I sent Lea isn't it. Your jealous. I'm sorry, but get over it man, & lemme back on the project!!!


I'm actually on the project still. So, yeah, suck on that Global Warming!

[Mae]

Then why won't you let me back on the project. It's because of that love letter I sent Lea isn't it. Your jealous. I'm sorry, but get over it man, & lemme back on the project!!!


I'm actually on the project still. So, yeah, suck on that Global Warming!
B& PERMANENTLY!!!

I want someone to send me a love letter... :(

[Kureejii Lea]

I'll send you one, Mae. <3

[Mae]

I wonder if that would make Kyle jealous or excited...X'D

[KyleJCrb]

Or confused.

[Kureejii Lea]

Kyle feels left out. Someone oughta send him a love note. Preferably with a finished remix attached.

[KyleJCrb]

Kyle feels left out. Someone oughta send him a love note. Preferably with a finished remix attached.

I want to see 6 of those on my desk by the end of the month.

[Chickenwarlord]

I want to see 6 of those on my desk by the end of the month.

Dearest Kyle,
Attached is an arrangement of Harmonious Moment. It reminds me of the way I felt when we first held hands.
Sincerely,
Nobody

[The Joker]

I want to see 6 of those on my desk by the end of the month.

I'll be sure to send mine with a dirty note attach ;) It'll probably be about touching a tralalala or some crap.

[KyleJCrb]

Alright, I haven't been keeping in touch with the remaining songs as well as I should have, so the September 31st due date may get pushed. I need to talk to some of you about your songs, so if I don't talk to you first, please come to me, either in PM, response to this thread, or somewhere else.

[Monobrow]

Well I think I can finish my song up by then... Hopefully the next version I post will actually get a critique though (you a-moles)...

But I SWEAR TO GOD THIS WILL BE DONE LET IT BE WRITTEN

[pu_freak]

I also think I'll be able to finish it before the 31st

[Arek the Absolute]

Kyle feels left out. Someone oughta send him a love note. Preferably with a finished remix attached.

D:
Kyle feels left out? It has been about a good 6 months since I have spoken to either of you :(

[KyleJCrb]

D:
Kyle feels left out? It has been about a good 6 months since I have spoken to either of you :(

Lea is in hiding in North Carolina and hates the internet now. I hardly talk to her anymore.

As for me, I'm in hiding too. And I hate you.*






* - Actually I'm just lazy.

[The Joker]

good news, I just have to tweak the new bass drum in Cold Memory, & ahua(<spanish yell), it's doneded!

[Hale-Bopp]

I remember when I was a young lad and I wrote a remix for this project. Since then, I've grown up quite a bit, got a job and now live on my own with my brand new wife. A lot has changed and it's fun to look back on those times. It was good fun.

Now I wonder what everyone else is up to. Will there be a Tales Series: Summoning of Spirits OCRemix Project Reunion anytime soon?

I miss you guys!!
xoxoxoxo

Love,
HB

[KyleJCrb]

We've actually made some progress! We're a few tiny steps closer to being done!

Also, Hale: Want to do another track? :P

[Hale-Bopp]

Oh Kyle, you say the cutest things.

[KyleJCrb]

Oh Kyle, you say the cutest things.

I'll take that as a no. Darn. And we're THIS close to beating VotL for largest track count for one project.

[V___]

...

I could possibly help with the tracklist record attempt. Any tracks open?

[Mae]

I'll take that as a no. Darn. And we're THIS close to beating VotL for largest track count for one project.
Well, you can always beat them with the number of GOOD tracks. ;)
...heck Around the World might have a chance at that, too - and we've only got 13 songs in the entire game!
...

I could possibly help with the tracklist record attempt. Any tracks open?
I'm pretty sure there are a few tracks that were dropped completely from the original plans, in an attempt to expedite release.
Just give Kyle a chance to get home from work, and Lea a chance to remember what the internet is, and one of them might get back to you soon on it.
It might be a good idea to have some sort of sample to show what you've got just so they know if it's worth letting you on or not.
Good luck. :)

Mae has it right: Let me hear whatcha got, either by PM or post it here.

Harmonious Moment and Decisive would both be excellent choices to try.

[V___]

Time to pimp out mah stuff :P Most of my production work recently has been just experimentation, getting the sound quality up.... so I dont have a recently completed song you peeps can check out...

What I DO have is:

2 rejected OCR subs from 6 months or so back....
http://vmeissner.googlepages.com/RebloomAGAIN6.mp3 (Tetris Attack - Flower Stage)
http://vmeissner.googlepages.com/VQ-WornOutShoes.mp3 (Legend of Dragoon - World Map 2)

and a 5-track sampler with some snippets from some WiPs Iv started recently
http://vmeissner.googlepages.com/Revenge.mp3 (Track 5 seems to be unanamously everyones favorite)


That said, what are the restrictions with this project? Like genre etc? And what type of time limit would I have?

[Mae]

I'm gonna play secretary here again...
I'm pretty sure there's no genre limitations. As long as what you're good at sounds good with the music you're working with - it should be great.
From Sir NutS's trance to Luiza and CarboHydroM's guitar awesomeness to the more orchestral tracks by some of the others - it's whatever sounds good.

As for a time limit...I would say as soon as possible, before the other tracks are finished. So long as you want your track to be included in the official release. There is no exact date set for the project release, but the sooner everything is done, the sooner it can come out.

[The Joker]

My tracks done! I just have to find time to upload the wrench.

[Kureejii Lea]

Harmonious Moment and Decisive would both be excellent choices to try.

That's not up to you, dude.

Anyway, as Mae said (does that make you second-in-command to my second-in-command?) any genre is fine so long as it sounds good. As for time limits - hurry. =P

[KyleJCrb]

Hmmm...

Not bad, V. Check your PM inbox.

[Mae]

guess what!!!!!!!

I uploaded my wavs! One more track towards completion!

[Monobrow]

Ahh noooooooooo you beat meeeee


God damnit now that means I gotta finish my song...

Time oh my god time is not on our side time oh my god time


TIME


I can do this guys

AHhhhhhhhhhhh


No really it is okay

[The Joker]

If you can finish it within the next week, I'll personally cook you a 4 course gourmet meal.*

[pu_freak]

Hey V, you're largening the ToS part of the project... now I practicly HAVE to make another ToP ReMix...

[KyleJCrb]

Hey V, you're largening the ToS part of the project... now I practicly HAVE to make another ToP ReMix...

Actually, not really. The ToS side has less songs, if you haven't noticed. :P

[pu_freak]

I counted 21 songs for the ToP and 24 for the ToS side?

EDIT - Not that it would stop me from making another ToP ReMix... or at least an attempt at it :P

[KyleJCrb]

Don't give me no lip, boy! Just because you actually did something like "counting" the songs in the list makes you some hot shot know-it-all about this project! We'll have none of that around here!

[pu_freak]

N..No sir! Won't happen again sir! I'm sorry sir!

[V___]

Just posted my WiP in the forums, run and check it out if you have access :D

[pu_freak]

Same here...

That one's been done for awhile. Then it was undone for a bit since they were unhappy with it (although it was awesome). And now it's done again. And it rocks.

[pu_freak]

So, andyjayne got me some feedback on my new WIP and it seems almost done arrangement wise. Anyone else got some comment for this?

[The Joker]

Soooo... Kyle let me do a mini-preview of the tracks I have a hand in. So, I figure I'd post it here as well.

Summoning of the Joker (http://joker.escariot.net/Remixes/SoS-JokerStyle.mp3)

Tracks in order:
Sacred Ashes (Deepest Woods) with Kureeji Lea & Hemophiliac
Cold Memory (Freeze)
Arche Angel (Arche's Theme)
Chronometrical (Stream of Time)
Apogee (Last Battle) with Andy Jayne & Fishy (Older Version)

Note: I just kinda made this in all of 10 minutes, including render, so the transitions are sudden, & yeah, sudden.

[pu_freak]

Here we go again...

You can take my word that every mixer in the project knows (or can see, if he/she wants to) how far the unfinished mixes are along. I really should comment on this, because it just feels like another "hurry up with the project you guys are slow and this is stupid"-post, but I'll give you one good reason:

Not every mix was started at the beginning of the project. Mixers come and go and there have been a few mixes that have started only recently. This, however, won't really delay this project much as there is more stuff than just the mixes themselves.

And, with the release of VotL not long ago, you´ll definetly have to wait a while beofre DJP releases another project...

[Kureejii Lea]

A lot of your complaints are based purely on what you see - and the fact of the matter is there's a friggin' TON of stuff going on behind the scenes here. You're making a lot of assumptions about what we supposedly haven't been doing that are just that - assumptions. And guess what? They're uneeded and flat-out wrong. Ultimatums have been made, songs (MANY songs) have been dropped, remixers have been cut. Hell, if you were paying attention to the info we DO make public, you'd be aware of half of that. The project's forums have several sections only remixers and other members of the project are able to view, so your claim that the other remixers ought to be able to know "why" things aren't done is baseless - they can and do see how things are going.

What does you knowing the exact specifics of "why" a song isn't complete help? School, broken computers, bone-crushing accidents - these things happen in real life and have gotten in the way of things here, and many of the major ones have been mentioned publicly. The others come down to a matter of common sense - you yourself said that real life takes priority, so what's the problem? Everyone here's devoting their personal free time to this thing; daily reports of "oh, so-and-so didn't work on their track today because they had a chem exam" isn't going to help things, and I doubt it's really a slight against the public or whatever to not be told of every production deal. This talk about having a "right" to know is ridiculous; we give you an overview as is, and frankly, we don't owe you a damn thing. We've given you a basic update list; just because we're not spitting out daily percentages doesn't mean that there's no progress being made. If you paid attention to the last few pages of this thread alone you'd know that there's been progress, but instead you whine about nothing having changed in months - you're wrong, simple as that.

Remember, kiddies; every time you make a baseless assumption, the project release date is pushed back another week out of spite. Think before you post.

[KyleJCrb]

Break it down.

[RANT]

As much as I agree with the idea of 'slow and steady wins the race', I've seen the same progress for what must be months, still with the same few songs 'ALMOST' done, and the same few songs still 'WIP'... As much as I'd love to hear THOSE songs, shouldn't you be asking the remixers still not done why they aren't done, or if you have and they wouldn't mind letting us know, can't you post these reasons so we at can at least know WHY?

Honestly, why exactly does the general public HAVE to know? Any OCR personnel certainly need to know, and they are welcome to PM me or post about it here if they feel fit to do so. VotL kept even its tracklist completely under wraps: At least we've had the courtesy to give you one of those.

Not only for those who are simply waiting, but maybe so the people who have already posted their own (38) remixes could know why they needed to wait months on end to let their songs be heard for 6 that seem to have NO progress in all that time?

They know. We have an entire forum dedicated to this project in which we have a private section wherein remixers can update on the status of their track, post WIPs, and ask for help. If anyone involved with the project is curious about why the project is not out yet, they can check and post about it (and they generally do) there.

I mean no offense to those who still have songs left to be completed, but from the outside, it's just a track list, rather than what we want, a playlist.

I would love nothing more than this project to see the light of day, but we don't feel it's ready.

If there really isn't any reason why the songs haven't been moved along, project leaders have been known to cut out songs that show no signs to movement, in favor of making a reasonable release date.

We've cut plenty of songs. Cutting any of the remaining ones is not necessary.

So really, and I am aware I have no say in the whole of the matter, but, this is how I see it:

A.) If they have a reason to be taking this long, we have the right to know why, so long as it isn't too personal and they don't mind us knowing... Hell, I personally wouldn't mind a simple:
Song Title (Theme Title) - *WIP* {10-17-07 ~ They have a reason for being late, so get over it!}
SOMETHING to tell us that they haven't abandoned the project and that a recent check has been made to make that certain.

You have no right to know. We're not going to disclose every little reason for a holdup. OCR personnel and anyone involved with this project may need to know, but not you. I know what the problem is if there is one, and that is all that's necessary.

B.) If they have not provided a reason for having taken this long, really push them to get it done. If you/they WANT to, for any reason, drop the project, please don't feel ashamed to do so... Most, if not all, of you who have mixes remaining have already proven yourselves here, on way or another, so if you wanted to drop this project, we still have so much more of your talents to listen to.

They have been pushed. And pushed. AND pushed. There is more going on behind the scenes than you are privy to.

C.) Whether or not they have a reason, you need to give an ultimatum, tell them that if they don't have a completed version out by a specific date, not to be pushed for any reason whatsoever, it will either be cut altogether, or released as a bonus WIP song.

It's been done, several times over. There are many people no longer affiliated with this project simply because they took too long and did not meet due dates set for them. It's happened, but it is no longer necessary with what we have left.

It is a matter of fairness.

It isn't fair on the basic listener to have to wait for a few unmoven tracks to get an entire list to our ears.

It's not fair to us to force out a half-assed project, either.

It isn't fair on the remixers to have to wait for their tracks to get to the listeners ears due to said unmoven tracks.

There was the the known possibility going into this project that it would potentially take a very, VERY long time. I knew it, remixers knew it, OCR in general knew it. While it's taken longer than expected, we all knew going into this what it entailed.

It isn't fair on the Project Coordinators and Leaders to have to wait for those tracks to allow the burden of an entire project to leave their shoulders.

I'll wait as long as it takes until I am happy with the finished project.

Lastly, it isn't fair on the last remixers of this project to have criticism from anyone when they might have reasons in their real lives that take more priority than an internet remixing project (Not to devalue this at all, but real life priorities SHOULD take priority over this, no matter how highly you'd value it).

Then what exactly are you whining about?

Maybe it's not as big as all that, maybe it is, but I don't think it's selfish to suggest it.

Let's end it! Plus, I REALLY want to hear that 'Beat the Angel' theme.

You won't be disappointed. Just be patient.

[The Joker]

Basically, we all Love you, the people. Kyle Loves you, the ReMixers Love you, I Love you, & Lea will forever hold the torch that unites us all under your base, which belongs to us, who are like you, the people. That no matter where in the world we are, the Summoning of Spirits, to happiness no less, has begun. Slowly, slowly, slowly. Can I get an amen!

[pu_freak]

It's just a shame that these posts occur too often and that they're not really motivating us. You are the people that we're mostly doing it for (the fans), but if you guys keep complaining then we don't get that eager to finish it...

It's good that you've apologized and just make sure never to be impatient with something like this, we want it to be finished too, but we want it to be perfect. Just trust us that when we finish the project, it'll be awesome

[KyleJCrb]

I suppose I was out of line saying something as asinine and pretentious as 'have a right' or to talk in such a fashion of myself or the other listeners about something that is merely provided as a luxury and is strictly a luxury... Were I in a more ept state of mind, I would have known this before even thinking to type or even post it, and for that, I strongly apologize. You do, I understand, have no reason to accept such vulgarities, especially when preforming something that can be considered a charity. Honestly, I'd like to delete that post and start it fresh with newer, better-formed thoughts, but that would be the cowardly thing to do, so I'll let it stand and allow myself to accept whatever ridicule I deserve.

(While everyone likes to consider internet chat rooms, IMs, and messages boards as nothing, I know that behind every username is an actual person, with real problems and real lives, just like myself... So talking so arrogantly to these people does me no good but create malice and hurt feelings.)

If you seriously do hold back production for people like me, though I strongly both hope against and doubt it, I deserve it, but does anyone else? Hardly, they are just waiting patiently, something I didn't have the sense to do.

This is the one problem with text... How do I convey the sencerity of my shame? I suppose that's up to you know figure out, but know that I am sorry, though apologizing doesn't change the past, my apologies are all I can give... Your forgiveness? No, believe me if you will, but hurt feelings aren't mended by a few words.

I can understand your impatience. It's been over two years since this project was started, and I know it looks like we've slowed to a crawl. No one is more aware of this than I am, but there is more going on than meets the public eye. I guarantee when this project finally does drop, it'll be amazing. You'll see.

[The Joker]

[Aninymouse]

You will never ever see me whine about this project's tenure in limbo, and if you keep reading, you will find out why.

I am bumping this thread, even though I have no idea on which page it sits currently (too lazy to check if it's on page one).

I understand that I'm just some random, faceless lurker guy with no musical talent to speak of, but I consider myself a firm supporter of this project. I've been with OCR and it's affiliates since... well, at least 2002. I got to witness a lot of cool things being ushered in, and a lot of cool people have came and went in those years. However, as far as the music itself goes, there was one definite milestone for me: Kong in Concert.

I have about 200 or so ReMixes on my computer (lots of vintage & new), comprised of the best that my favorite games and ReMixers have put out over the years, but when KiC came out I was blown away. Perhaps it had to do with the turbulance that the judjes were going through at the time -- I don't claim to understand that drama -- but the mixes in that project just seemed so free and majestic compared to what I was used to at the time. Vigilante's "Beneath the Surface" was downright inspirational and singlehandedly renewed my faith in the community and what it's scope could/should be/is.

Ever since, I've paid EXTRA-special attention to the projects over the years. Hedgehog Heaven definitely had some issues, but they've all been incredibly enjoyable on the whole, otherwise.

From what I've heard from the Sunnoning of Spirits WIPs, Joker's teaser (and the other teaser you had on the project forums) Hale Bopp's track and djp's track... You guys are going to slaughter us with awesomeness.

I'm trying to boost morale by letting you guys know that it's OKAY if this thing doesn't come out until a long-ass time, because I know what the artists on your project are capable of and I've had a glimpse at your standard of quality, and I KNOW FOR A FACT that it will all be worth the wait.

I'm pretty sad about SnappleMan dropping out or whatever... next to heartbroken... but I take reassurance in your posture to work to release the current tracklist! Kyle, Kureejii, and everyone: thank you so much for all your hard work. I truely hope when this is all said and done that you will take comfort and satisfaction in AT LEAST my praise and adoration for your vicarious sacrifice of time and LIFE to produce... this gorgeous body of work. I think the fact that it's all Tales of music is enough to keep me excited forever, anyway.

Best of luck to you all, and thanks!

I think this is always on page 1, since the Site Projects forum is only 1 page (or is it 2 pages now?). :-P

But thank you. It may be a long ass time before this project comes out, since there are some other projects waiting in the wings that I'm pretty sure are more ahead of SoS and are going to come out first. All we can say is to keep being patient!

[Sixto]

Is the project almost out?! Come oooooon, gogogo!

[Monobrow]

Just so everyone knows, and I've stated this before... From the beginning of me working on my song, I went into working on it saying if the project has to come out and it is not done by that time, I don't mind my song being cut, since it was probably the second (or third) to last song started.

I've been working on my song slowly and steadily this whole time, but I do not mind it being kicked out if it is not done by the time this project is ready to go.

That being said:

Kyle has good reason for any delays, and they are not all just because of unfinished songs... So guys, sit back and relax, this is like 40 songs, coordinated between dozens of artists... That in itself is great.

[KyleJCrb]

I've been working on my song slowly and steadily this whole time, but I do not mind it being kicked out if it is not done by the time this project is ready to go.

I really don't want to kick anyone out who has made (or is making) strong contributions to this thing. Lea and I don't plan on cutting anyone else unless they really show no progress or disappear.

[Aninymouse]

So, keep on truckin', 'Brow.

[SnappleMan]

Is it just me who screwed the project up, or were there some other delinquent muthughfuckughs who contributed?

[Sixto]

Just you. You managed to screw up an entire project by yourself. Way to go.

[SnappleMan]

At least I don't play an SG.

[Sixto]

At MOST you don't play an SG.

[SnappleMan]

I laughed picturing a Mexican Angus Young.

[KyleJCrb]

Is it just me who screwed the project up, or were there some other delinquent muthughfuckughs who contributed?

YES YOU FUCKED IT ALL UP NOW WE WONT COME OUT FOR TWENTY YEARS ALL BECAUSE YOU DIDNT DO ONE SONG

You didn't screw the project up. Nobody really has, except me. There has been times where I haven't been keeping tabs on everyone like I should have been, and that's essentially the main reason for any delays. Some people just work slower than others, anyway. There's still songs that aren't done, and I don't mean just the ones you were working on.

That said, if you want to come back and finish Decisive... :-P

[SnappleMan]

Accepting these propositions while insanely busy with life is what got me into this mess in the first place.

[Sir_NutS]

Woah i completely forgot about this... I don't even remember how my song sounds like (since I lost the mp3)

Hope you can get this out... someday.

[Dhsu]

If nothing else, we definitely have the greatest project thread in the history of OCR. :D

But srsly, this project will rox teh sox.

[The Mutericator]

Isn't this the point where I come in, ask how much longer it's going to take, and then get b&?

[V___]

Sorry, I'v been in limbo with my track... work killed time, and I decided to move, plus general lack of inspiration... BUT I'm getting back into it! Gimme another week and you should have my next 'final'

[Aninymouse]

Hoo-boy. Good luck, V.

But it's okay, SnappleMan. We'll always have Morocco. I mean Thrash the Plank. So I still love yew.

[KyleJCrb]

Forums are now at a new location: http://kngi.org/forum

The Shoutbox also functions again! Yay!

[Arek the Absolute]

Hey Kyle or Lea, mind messaging me on aim when you guys get the chance? I need to ask yall yet again another question :3

[Hemophiliac]

hey guys i just posted stuff over on the forum, go get.

[DeathShadow]

Sh!t.

I just found out that Reu died :( ... I am really sad, partly because I haven't heard this last piece of work (My Secret Forest) yet. Before this project started I PMed him asking him to check out a couple of Tales of Phantasia tracks that I've always wanted to hear remixed... and then 6 months later I saw that he was signed up for this project doing one of those tracks. I heard a preview of his song and I've been waiting since to hear the finished version :/

Kyle, if I could make a small request (you don't have to do it), but if this project isn't released by christmas, would you let me listen to his song?

[KyleJCrb]

We have our own plans regarding Reuben Kee and his remix for this project (which, if I'm not mistaken, is his last public contribution to this community as a whole). I can't reveal what it will entail quite yet but there will be no more "early release" tracks.

[V___]

Ok, so Iv moved house, had life happen, and kept my day job, BUT (!!!!!) I did finish my mix. Gonna get some final comments, but I really cant imagine changing too much from it... both cos of preference and limitation of skills....

ONE TRACK CLOSER Y'ALL!!! (i think)

[Hemophiliac]

I just sent in my wav to kyle, that's one less to be completed.

[Arek the Absolute]

Interesting, because I would figure his track to be one of the ones to be released early because of what happened.

[Kureejii Lea]

I'm guessing the last few people are busy with holidays lately, huh? It's only a bit more...

[Aninymouse]

It's been so long I actually forgot Reuben had been signed on this project...

[KyleJCrb]

I forgot about the project altogether.

[Sixto]

Start it over. From scratch.

[Dhsu]

At least I would get to release my 2-year-old tracks?

[Kureejii Lea]

I've been busy with wedding plans and haven't had as much time to yell at Kyle. I'm doing some work, at least. >>

[KyleJCrb]

Probably a little late to be recruiting remixers, but who cares? Welcome to the project, Prophet of Mephisto.

Things are happening.

[The Mutericator]

Start it over. From scratch.

Not funny. Not funny at all.

[KyleJCrb]

It's a brilliant plan, actually.

[V___]

My track is ready for upload imo (balanced the piano that little bit more) and now I just need to name it and upload. That'l require me to read how and where and what and all that shit and I havn't got time. Seriously. Thats how swamped i am... *sigh* :|

[KyleJCrb]

V, if you've got AIM or something you can send it directly to me that way. You can also upload it directly to the FTP I've provided; on the top of the private WIP section of the forums there is directions on how to upload your track to the webspace, then you just post the link to the final wav in your WIP thread and I'll grab it. I don't need a title for you to send it to me. We can brainstorm ideas here or in the thread for your song over there and I'll make sure to give the file the appropriate name when you've decided.

[The Joker]

Kyle, you truly are the wind beneath my wings... when I forget to apply deoderant!

[prophetik]

hoshit, ANOTHER REMIX PROJECT FOR MEEEEEEE

edit - i'm involved in so many projects i had to take the christmas music project link out of my sig because i had no more room. sigs can only be 1000 chars with bbcode markup. =(

[Arek the Absolute]

It's a brilliant plan, actually.

I concur.
I will restart if you will.

[KyleJCrb]

Alright, so since progress has been basically nonexistent on it for several months now (and PriZm doesn't seem to be responding to me), Sixto has agreed to take over on the opening version of Fighting of the Spirit. He even sent me an awesome WIP already.

Can I trust the rest of you to finish up your tracks soon (well, not all of you. Talk to me, Mephisto) so we can start legitimately looking at a release date?

[Dhsu]

Haha, I think this means I officially get the "most collab partners without actually collabing" award.

I mean, is that track just cursed? It's like a revolving door at this point. :D

[KyleJCrb]

That's exactly what I've been thinking, Dhsu. I think Sixto can break the curse though, so long as he stays away from forklifts. :-P

Oh Snap, you didn't even just do that :D !

[KyleJCrb]

So, Sixto's done(!). The rest of you are running out of time! There will be PMs going out very soon, so watch for it.

[prophetik]

my computer has been completely rebuilt in the last week. got a virus and wound up just restarting from scratch. i should be around this week to put some stuff done. i don't have a weekend for several weeks, though, and that's when i do my work, so no guarentees.

[pu_freak]

Well proph, you're another one that's practicly in every project around... knowing you you could put something together pretty quick.

[KyleJCrb]

I'm hoping we can be the next project released. Let's make it happen!

[pu_freak]

Well you guys better hurry up with commenting on wips then, so we can finish it up ;)

[KyleJCrb]

42 of 48 complete! Keep gettin' those finished tracks in!

[Monobrow]

still doin' them drums! MAKING IT ALL SUPER LOUD!

CROSS YOUR FINGERS AND MAKE MY CPU WORK GODD DMANIMAIST!!

[prophetik]

no one happens to have a decent midi of either of my songs, do they? makes it SO much easier to get started...

I think this website has a midi for almost every song:

I've got Mysterious Japon. I'll send you a PM. ToS' Shinobi Life is pretty much the same thing if that helps.

Edit: Or avaris beats me to it. I don't think that second one is right though. Sounds like the midi's mislabeled, it's just Euclid.

[KyleJCrb]

They are found!

[prophetik]

actually, avaris and kureejii, those ones posted aren't very good midis, if you listen to them. while i found ja'p'on relatively quickly, kyle even had to look on japanese sites to find me a piano solo only midi of ATGO.

google's my homepage, anyways =)

[prophetik]

mysterious ja'p'on wip!

[KyleJCrb]

mysterious ja'p'on wip!

What? I DON'T BELIEVE YOU

[prophetik]

neither do i, since it sucks. reason is bad for orchestral writing. however i just picked up a copy of finale 2008, so i'll be finished relatively soon.

both mixes will be done in a very classically written style, because i need material for my composition lessons =D

[KyleJCrb]

"Finished" followed by "soon" in the same sentence? I like that. Make it happen, Proph!

[V___]

Ok, so next weekend (2nd) I'l be preped to send this up. Thats a promise from the heart. KA LI MA style! :O


Sorry bout the delays dudes, life is killing me :(

[pu_freak]

life is killing me

Ah, the irony

[prophetik]

so, my wip for mysterious japon was really starting to drag, so i set it down for a bit and started up asgo. it's a quintet of violin, flute, horn, cello, and marimba. i'm going to try to get it recorded live. relatively quick tempo, with a really intense slower breakdown in the middle. there's a lot of opportunities for sick harmonies in the second section, so i'm gonna try and make that the focal point of the piece.

[KyleJCrb]

So did anyone get me finished tracks for my birthday?

[The Joker]

I got you 2... even though one of them was a redux!

[pu_freak]

Hey I got you an eery silence... that has to count for something right?

[Aninymouse]

I CAN TASTE IT STILL (o__o

[KyleJCrb]

The cake is a lie.

[KyleJCrb]

Another one down! Just five more! FIVE MORE!

Shit, I really need to talk to people about websites and torrents and junk...

[The Mutericator]

I'll seed.

[prophetik]

shit, my wips suck. i'm starting over.

[Arek the Absolute]

ask people who are associated with this thing to seed
dont give this out early to people who constantly pestered you


ps i want to seed

[Aninymouse]

I could seed at least for a while... say, around two weeks? That'd help curve the huge spike that's gonna hit once this thing is exploding all over OCR. Hard to say past that, though. I need an external hard drive since my factory one is about fulllllllll.

[prophetik]

i've managed to fill up almost 1.5 tb of external drives. fuck you, vienna symphonic. fuck you, matroska. =(

[KyleJCrb]

Dammit Prophet, are you breaking shit trying to make remixes for this thing? :lol:

[Rexy]

Just letting you know that I got that hyped over the project now I actually OBTAINED Tales of Symphonia two weeks back. It's steady progress but I made it to Tethe'alla today (and already I'm sympathising for Colette here :().
And you're right, story in this is very engaging and the battle system is actually pretty fun :D

[V___]

spoiler text

:D hey i know that name!! (yay for mixing memorable characters theme!)

[prophetik]

i put up a wip a while ago, is anyone going to notice?

[Dhsu]

It's pretty good.

[SomeCrazyGuy]

After however long it was since I posted the stupid rant, I still regret having made it. It truly does hurt, having made they who are giving selflessly their time and talents feel not only underappreciated, but insulted by someone who should be grateful for their service. Though nobody seems mad about it anymore, I still feel the need to apologize again, and hope that, at whatever time you deem worthy, we will all enjoy the fruits of your labor and thank you for the years of time it took to bring it to us.

(Sorry if I sounded insincere [what with the annoying prose, simply saying 'sorry!' didn't seem appopriate], but I thought an apology was in order, even though I already did apologize, and hope there aren't any hard feelings)

On topic, though: I can't wait to see the finished project, though, especially after seeing a change in the completion list! n_n

[KyleJCrb]

Right now Prophet and Mono are hovering quite close to being finished with the remixes they've been working on. I bugged Andy Jayne a couple weeks ago about his song since it's basically finished, but I haven't seen him on to bug him again since then. I really just need a .wav and a title for that one and it's finished. I think pu is still alive... But then he might be dead. I'm not sure if Sixto is still reworking Chaotic Heart or not, but even if he doesn't the version there is awesome enough to be one of my favorite tracks on the project.

Holy crap, I think we're actually ALMOST DONE! WHAT THE FUCK?!

Actually, I still need to talk to the pretzelman regarding things about websiteness... Dammit, I suck lately. Oh well, it'll happen eventually.

[The Mutericator]

dont give this out early to people who constantly pestered you

I wonder who you could be talking about...

Feeling sorry for a certain character.

Don't worry, that'll pass. Very quickly.

"Oh, it's nothing..."
