Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening: Threshold of a Dream - History

[Chernabogue]

I woke up this morning, got breakfast and then I thought "We're Dec 6th..." And then, I was "Holy crap, Link's Awakening today!!"

[AJ-enova]

Exactly! :smile: Just have to wait and check now!

[Rozovian]

It's the 6th already? Cool. :D

[Dj Mokram]

Wow, haven't checked this in a while, and suddenly it's coming out today! :shock:

Just gonna post this in here before thread gets locked and becomes history: Brad is the man.
Kudos to him for having the guts, the vision, and the patience to see this through.
Thanks for helping me make it through my first project evar! :D

This album has been a long time coming, so congrats to the LA project team on the release.

[BLUamnEsiac]

I can wait patiently when I know it will be worth it, like in this case! :-D
might be later in the day - like tomorrow night - or tuesday at some point. definitely this week - dave just is really busy and kind of lost the weekend, so he's working like mad to get it out.

[prophetik]

this is pretty exciting! i spent some time online last night with larry and dave, getting some of the last little bits of logistics cleaned up. like i said, it'll hopefully be out later today, or possibly tomorrow. depends on what dave's able to get done after losing his weekend to travel.

i also did an interview on saturday with Justin from Radio Free Gamer, and that'll air on their next show on wednesday. i discussed the history of the project, some stuff i've been working on lately, and where i think projects are going now that we've hit the 20th project (and beyond, with the queue of other projects coming out soon!) on OCR. turned out pretty good. it's about fifteen minutes or so, and i blabbed most of the time.

edit: also, all three artists with name changes (even artem bank, who didn't really even bother to ask, just complained about it) got their stuff adjusted properly for the website and track files. so you're all in the clear =)

I didn't think to look for a trailer, do'h!

[prophetik]

whoa, i didn't know the teaser got posted! looking forward to hearing the commentary on it =)

edit: WOW, that's an awesome teaser! =)

[halc]

Jose's trailer was brilliant, as always- definitely looking forward to this album! :nicework:

[chthonic]

super excited for the release!

one thing though, in the first post my tracks are credited to "ben briggs" and it should be "benjamin briggs"

picky, I know, but for continuity's sake I felt the need to mention it :P

[Kanthos]

Awesome trailer. Everything in it sounds really good, but I'm most excited for Mr. Briggs' track. This was one of the first video games I owned, and I love the soundtrack.

taken care of already =)

[Dafydd]

My track sounds really amateurish compared to the stuff in the trailer. Oh well. It's been a while. I guess I could blame the advancement of technology or something ("making something that awesome just wasn't feasible using the gear available of the time") *cough*

[Chernabogue]

I saw on VGMdb that it is scheduled for Dec. 13th. Is that true?

BTW, awesome trailer, great job, José! :nicework:

[chthonic]

thanks buddy!

also, the video teaser is like, fucking ridiculously awesome

i was informed that it's definitely coming out this week, hopefully tonight or tomorrow.

[Hylian Lemon]

The whole trailer sounded great, but I have to mention catfish's maw in particular. That clip is way more interesting than the stuff I'd tried to come up with. Also now I'm obligated to make an Ocarina of Time Jabu-Jabu remix called "Smells of the Deep" to complete our epic fish trilogy :O

P.S. the transition between eagle's tower and mysterious woods was amazing.

[Liontamer]

12/13 on VGMdb's just a placeholder. Our schedule is ASAP.

the transition is between two unique songs, but i thought the same thing =)

smells of the deep sounds awesome. do it!

[Dunther]

It's december 7th here :(

[chthonic]

ASAP
I peedasdas

[prophetik]

It's december 7th here :(

like i said, it'll go up as soon as dave was able to get it up. he was out of town over the weekend, lost a lot of work time.

[BLUamnEsiac]

I agree, double :nicework::nicework: from me José!

BTW, awesome trailer, great job, José! :nicework:

[jivjov]

The link at the end of the Youtube trailer leads to a 403 Forbidden error :(

[prophetik]

The link at the end of the Youtube trailer leads to a 403 Forbidden error :(

is it threshold.ocremix.org or something similar? probably because djp hasn't put it online yet =)

[RDX]

OH NUTSACK THIS IS COMING OUT TODAY?

best present ever omg <33

[Subz1987]

The anticipation's killing me!!!

F5 F5 F5...

[Hylian Lemon]

smells of the deep sounds awesome. do it!
Almost a minute done so far. A giant fish trilogy is too important to put on hold.

Now if only this song had been in Link's Awakening, I could've definitely fit it into the genre requirement. It almost sounds like a Link's Awakening dungeon, anyway. Maybe that's my bassline. Either way CURSE YOU, JABU-JABU

(in other news, this project is making me realize how annoying it is to type "awakening")

[ZeldaStrife]

The anticipation's killing me!!!

F5 F5 F5...

you're stalking the site in anticipation, too? XP

[Binarynova]

you're stalking the site in anticipation, too? XP

Me three. For serious. :)

[BLUamnEsiac]

Me four, though I probably won't be up much longer, I have a lot of stuff to work on tomorrow...
Me three. For serious. :)

[AJ-enova]

OMG :( 8am and still nothing...

[The Joker]

I just noticed my tracks name is spelled wrong... on the front page as well as the judges que. It's Evigilo Insperatus. Is it spelled that way on the project art?

[prophetik]

i did it from memory on the front page. since i used your original file when i sent it in, i'm assuming no.

[Level 99]

It is coming ASAP, sometime between now and December 13th. Dunno if it is really necessary to keep face pressed-to-monitor all day today. Besides, that's how grease fires get started BADUM-TISH!

The trailed was definitely smexy. Brad, was it JBxR who put the rain in our track or did we do it, I can't remember.

[WillRock]

Looks like there is alot of hype for this one. Not as hyped myself as I should be but I'm still looking forward to this all the same :D

[urdailywater]

I'm kinda sad your name isn't on this Willrock. You do amazing Zelda mixes xD. I'm still majorly excited for this. Even more so than Pokemon which is a freaking huge surprise.

you added it in :<

also, urdailywater, there's a genre restriction - it was supposed to be "rainy-day" mixes, all more chill and ambient. electro-rock isn't a style that generally fits into that listing =)

[avaris]

Congrats on sticking with it and finishing this one dudes. :)

[CasualVader]

Well, my original excitement has died down. Hopefully I'll be just as excited again when it's finally released.

your excitement only lasted 35 hours? =( =( =(

[Emunator]

If your excitement for a project lasts more than 36 hours, contact a doctor as this may be a sign of a rare but serious side effect.

[prophetik]

on an unrelated note, i've got more than a third of the posts in this thread. around 260 out of around 760.

excellent.

edit: also updated the first post with some spelling fixes and an updated release date. kind of.

[Calebyte]

Anyone else suffering from blue balls right about now?

O.O!!
Ambient/mellow mixes make up my favorites on This website actually. I thought the general feeling of the tracks in the trailer was coincidence.
This has actually made me 10 times happier. Wow.

It's spelled correctly in the actual files. There's no back cover art with a tracklist, just FYI, only a front cover.

[evktalo]

Yeah, that genre restriction reminder just made me anticipate the album even more. (1) restrictions make interesting and focused records, (2) that definition will likely fit my musical taste deliciously, considering the source material! (not that there's anything wrong with wider scopes and different genres of course)

--Eino

[CasualVader]

your excitement only lasted 35 hours? =( =( =(

Oh I'm still excited! Just not as jumping up and down, peeing my pants excited. My excitement is a more mellow sort now. I'm sure when it's out and I'm downloading I'll be losing my mind in Link's Awakening induced ecstasy. :-)

[Level 99]

I think Brad's now just needlessly inflating his postcount because when they lock this his posts won't disappear. That, and he probably also wants the last word in the thread.

For shame, Brad. I thought we got past the pettiness of numbers and last words. :lmassoff:

Also, thanks for reminding me that I did put the rain in there. Getting to that point where I forget the specifics of a song that took over two years to finish, haha.

[Bahamut]

He needs to reach 10k posts somehow :wink:

[prophetik]

That, and he probably also wants the last word in the thread.

[redshojin]

you originally asked to be credited as redshojin, so i stuck with it. didn't hear anything different from you when i sent you a PM a few months ago, either.

I definitely responded to that PM, and you replied back to me after I said I wanted to be credited as Artem Bank. I've got it right here. :)

But it's all good, since it's all right in the project. Can't wait for this thing!

[José the Bronx Rican]

Brad, was it JBxR who put the rain in our track or did we do it, I can't remember.

You did it, but I added extra thunder where needed, for added smex.

[The Damned]

Is not out yet.

I has a sad now.

Listening party this weekend?

[chthonic]

I just listened to the interview, and it plastered a gigantic smile on my face

I reveled in your lofty compliments, sir; I rolled around in them like the dirty dirty piggy I am

and, despite my ego, I managed to listen to the whole interview

A sad man is he who is denied his Link's Awakening music.

[prophetik]

Listening party this weekend?

yeah, we're planning on doing it around 5pm on sunday. more details to come, but stevo's definitely hosting it so i can blab about behind-the-scenes stuff.

also, chth, i was lying. i hate every track you've ever done. fyi.

[justinj212]

Glad you guys enjoyed the interview. Can't wait for the album to be released!

[chthonic]

[AJ-enova]

I'm blaming it on stress due to waiting XD

wtf are you smoking i aint hosting shit

Now then, the listening party I will be hosting should be Sunday, as long as the album is released before then. I have established an IRC room on Esper just for things like this, and will give the room name as we get closer to the date and it all is ready to roll.

Listening party will take place at 5 PM EST this Sunday unless otherwise noted.

Now shut up, Brad, and get back to not listening to that NiGHTS stuff I sent ya.

[WillRock]

also, urdailywater, there's a genre restriction - it was supposed to be "rainy-day" mixes, all more chill and ambient. electro-rock isn't a style that generally fits into that listing =)

Since you were replying to him about him being sad i'm not on the project, I can do more than electro-rock. that said, style restriction r 4 nub.

[Binarynova]

Got an email today about a prospective job that would involve moving and changing life in ways that I'm not sure I want to right now.

What does this have to do with anything?

I'm really in need of some awesome new remix album with ties to my childhood right at this moment to help me through this stressful thinking... stuff.

Just sayin'. ;)

[WillRock]

don't kid yourself, we all know you're a one trick pony :lol:

But i'm a FOOKIN GOOD ONE.

[AJ-enova]

I've got a feeling this Album is gonna end up as a Christmas present XD

[BLUamnEsiac]

Possibly, the end of the thread title was changed to RELEASE DATE DEC. 2010.

I've got a feeling this Album is gonna end up as a Christmas present XD

[Hylian Lemon]

Ohhhh, I get it. The release date is December two thousand and tenth.

That comes out to June 1, 2016 using real dates.

[Thylacine]

Ohhhh, I get it. The release date is December two thousand and tenth.

Maybe. But then again, you didn't say which Christmas it might be.

[GTAHater836]

Other Christmas?

[KyleJCrb]

Christmas 2012.

[redshojin]

Christmas 2012.

The day when Link and the Mayans collide.

[BLUamnEsiac]

The day when Link and the Mayans collide.

That would make a nice follow up to Skyward Sword...

red team GO

[RDX]

it is not my intention to be ill-mannered, sir, but is it still on for this week or is it just in the month of december now?

[Theophany]

Listening party tomorrow at 5PM EST. Don't know about the release date, but you can hear the album then.

[urdailywater]

I heard between sometime last week and the 13th I'm hoping tomorrow since I'm not really doing anything.

I'm really hoping before my 3 hour trip back home this Friday though. I can tune it up in my car on the way back :3

Hopefully it won't be so ambient as to put me to sleep at the wheel though.

[RDX]

omg yes :cry:

(i actually am pretty excited, since it's pretty much guaranteed to deliver)

[prophetik]

Listening party tomorrow at 5PM EST. Don't know about the release date, but you can hear the album then.

listening party isn't going to happen until the project is out.

listening party's on hold until the project releases.

i was assured that the project would be out last week - i believe the quote i got was "probably tuesday, this week for sure" on last sunday - so i'm sure it'll release asap. we'll have a listening party on the following weekend.

[Bahamut]

Basically as soon as Dave can make room in his schedule, it'll release. From what I understand, just about all the prep is done.

[RDX]

technically im busy too, just being that im not married or even in college i have the ability to procrastinate and not do anything and only sort of regret it later :nicework:

For realz? I thought so, just based on the comments on this thread.

Listening to it right now :smile:

Say what?

[Bahamut]

It's an interesting album (at least what I've heard so far) - I won't say too much more before release, as the album will be up for you guys to form your own thoughts around soon enough. Just know that whatever your expectations, this album is probably different from them.

sounds like a negative review to me :whatevaa:

all im really expecting is an album that is chill and doesn't have your typical ocr album synth rock tracks all over the place. i kind of doubt i can be displeased based upon that. i guess we'll see.

hey you the final boss theme would be perfect for metulz.

As long as it has an instrumental version to supplement it. :^)

[Brandon Strader]

I didn't know synth rock was typical here.. shows what I know... :-x

[urdailywater]

I'm not getting that whole synth rock thing either. Tbh I could use some more synth rock :/

I hope this is a good thing. Hehe.
I'm super excited for tomorrow. I woke up today thinking it was the 13th today with my head glued to the monitor waiting for this things release. Ahh sometimes I like to majorly disappoint myself. :/

[ZeldaStrife]

Being part of staff has its perks :wink: .

Ah. I SEE WHAT YOU DID THAR. well, good for you then! thanks for helping pull the album together then!

Nah, it's neutral - I'm liking the album quite a bit, but it's just a warning since the album is much different than I think just about anyone would expect.

Edit: Ah. I SEE WHAT YOU DID THAR. well, good for you then! thanks for helping pull the album together then!

To be honest, I didn't do any of that. I'm part of site staff as a forum moderator is what I meant :razz: .

[prophetik]

sounds like a negative review to me :whatevaa:

it's different from what every other project has been. there's more artsy on it than you'd usually see on a project here, particularly since so many of the projects are groove bias anyways.

just wait your turn, and make your own decisions =)

[Xenon Odyssey]

surprise, my track is a solo tambourine jazz odyssey

artsy

[ZeldaStrife]

To be honest, I didn't do any of that. I'm part of site staff as a forum moderator is what I meant :razz: .

oh, haha. well, still thanks. :)

Oooh, tomorrow cannot get here soon enough! I want to hear this thing so badly! It will be right up there with DKC2: Serious Monkey Business and Bound Together (EarthBound) for my study playlist during finals week!

[KyleJCrb]

...how would you know that, and i didn't?

Because I heard it straight from the lion(tamer)'s mouth while doing a podcast with him today.

He has a bad habit of not telling the important people things until the absolute last possible minute.

[BLUamnEsiac]

Nah, the dream was the album being released on December 6th. Was that posted date a product of someone's rampant enthusiasm or possibly a way to hook us all in before the actual release date? ;-)

Psych! The album's genre restriction was all a dream.

[RDX]

Yeah it's probably something else. It's probably just straight up metal. All I know is a lot of the ocr albums have some of the big name tracks done in this one specific style (that involves imo an excessive use of guitar) and it always bothers me.

but i digress (good word)

[Dafydd]

I fixed the thread title for you:
Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening: Threshold of a Dream - RELEASE DATE DEF. MAYBE 2010

or how about
Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening: Threshold of a Dream - RELEASE DATE DESORMAIS 2010

an excessive use of guitar

Pretty sure there's no such possible thing. Those words don't go together.

[prophetik]

but i digress (good word)

true! there are a few requirements for OCR projects.

1. a song that involves seventeen guitars, all way too loud, with some bass and drums playing a blastbeat for ten minutes. lots of wheedly solos. if it's a straight midi rip with tons of solos layered on top, even better! no one will know anyways. they're too busy looking for toilet paper for their ears.

2. an "orchestral" track done by nutritious or equivalent that is excellent but gets passed over by 7/10ths of the people who listen to these projects because classical music iz dumb.

3. one song involving vocals taken from a sample pack, for better or for worse, that have nothing to do with anything. Sexy Boy or that song from FF4 are good examples. it has to be a girl, though. guys don't sing musics.

4. a trance/house/loud electronic track on a theme that is, in game, a retrospective and quiet song. this is particularly effective if there's so much side-chaining you can watch your woofer wheezing like it's an emphysema patient, throbbing in and out around once or twice a second. don't forget a lead that's so excruciatingly loud on the high end that it's bound to prevent you from turning it up in your car. at all.

5. a chiptune track. this can be the original chiptune from the game - no one will notice, since chiptunes are so retro. i love to listen to them when i'm drinking my starbucks and wearing american apparel in my ikea-lined house. don't forget the neckerchief.

we have one song on this project that combines all five of these tracks.
