I have been talking to Memblers lately (the creator of OC ReMix 87 'Grim Reaper (http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00087/)'). What I didn't notice before and realized after talking to him is that the song here on the website is faulty. I'm not sure this has always been that way and I know the song is really old. But since it obviously survived multiple lockdowns I think it has the right to be taken care of :)
By reading the comments on this song one can cleary see nearly everybody has a problem with the organ in the song which sounds absolutely different in the song encoded by Memblers. Here's what Memblers told me about this:
It sounds different because I made in FT2 (which originated the XM format), but a lot of XM players get things wrong.So please listen (maybe again) to the song on OC ReMix (http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00087/) and how Memblers intended it to be (http://membler-industries.com/music/remixes/). Please consider afterwards if something should be done about this or not.

Maybe some of you think it's stupid of me to talk about something that old, but somehow I felt it had to be said :)
Thanks for your attention.

The notes themselves have changed, most notably in the final dissonant section. Even if that is a problem with the encoding, which I'm not sure how it could be, it makes this a different remix. Based on how this has been handled in the past, Members would have to resubmit this as a new remix; the current version wouldn't be replaced. A site admin can give you the official word, though.

You can still post this info in the review thread. Some folks might appreciate hearing a different version. It's certainly nice that the static has been removed and an ending added.

Although I can't say for sure that there were some technical errors involved, from what I understood players other than FastTracker (which I believe Memblers referred to as FT2) had difficulties playing the song, most notably in the pitch-shifting. So maybe after all it's only the playback and not the notes which changed.

I just think if that was the problem maybe something should be done about this, even if it would only be a mention on the remix's site. I will post a comment on the track with a link to the other song if nothing else happens.

Even if there's nothing to be done, a word from someone responsible for things like this would be nice.
I'm going to post in the mix' thread now.
