OCR01429 - Street Fighter Alpha 2 'Dan's Ice Cream Truck'

[djpretzel]

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

[RoeTaKa]

Damn this style of mix is so nice, the harmonisation is quality and everything just breathes so nice going at it's own good bouncy pace with some seductive beats. Great piece to sit back to with a glass of Baileys thinking of good times. The violin really just licks my face, so lush and smooth, I know Mr po likes to buff his thing and buff it well. Josh's piano playing is strong and constant, so nice and snappy, the melodies really jump to you with a classical jolt. Great mix guys, I'm keeping it for more listens.

[Psychotic Ninja]

Yes! Some more Street Fighter Alpha 2 remixes, and this one did not disapoint. But I suck at reviews so I just got one good word for this: BADASS.

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

Rock on. Dan, could I please get some ice-cream that is watermelon flava?

I adore po! and Morse and together, once again, I think they are stronger than they are apart.

Unfamiliar with the source tune, I am VERY pleased to find that this source features a somewhat uncommon progression. The mix is nice and brave both in progression and instrumentation. My one complaint is the hardness of the piano. Why!? Why does it always have to be piano? Vibes, EP, Organs... Morse... switch it up man.

Dang guys, I really hope you continue to work together. These two mixes have been fabulous.

[CPacaud]

VERY nice! Slick production, very nice violin playing (and IN TUNE OMG!), just overall hot secks.

[ktriton]

I personally loved this way more than Watermelon. The violin track is pretty sweet. I like how you guys have kept the mix relatively dry of reverb.

I absolutely LOVE how you can hear the violin's 'grainyness'. I'd love to hear a classical remix by you guys just because the violin track is THAT good.

Piano solo, as always, is smooooth. Great job, guys!

[Panz3rWolfe]

Seriously, just go to Morse's site, he's got all sorts of great stuff there. I've been listening to this great mix for at least a month or two before it got released here, the same with Watermelon. I'm not surprised at all that these pieces are having little trouble making it onto OCR. One last thing, JM and Po! should just form a team or something already, its fairly obvious they'd have alot of success.

[Sinewav]

This song makes me wanna disco dance!

Really nice bassline and drums. po!'s violin playing is always a plus too.

Good job guys!

[Helmholz]

Very enjoyable and high quality stuff here.

[Birth_D]

Oh, man. Just listening to this makes me wanna throw a karate gi in with the reds during laundry day, and roll around.

[LiquidTrance]

Nice job! Another great SFA2 remix! (there needs to be more sadly :( ) anyways im loving this, its very relaxing and smooth. great music to chill too cood job once again! :D

[watkinzez]

Not being a huge fan of Morse's work in the past (a bit repetitive in some songs), I'm pleased to say that his recent offerings on 'Bound Together' and his collabs with po! have got me interested more in his work.

Compared to 'Watermelon Flava', this one requires more attention when listening to it. We already knew that po! rocked the violin thanks to The Underdog (http://www.vgmix.com/song_view.php?song_id=4842) (to anyone who hasn't listened to that one, do so now. You won't see it on OCR). The violin solo here doesn't disappoint. Pretty good work here guys.

...And?

[cubber]

so relaxing and soothing, aaaah, a great remix :D

[RimFrost the Tourianist]

High quality collaboration remix. So stylish and varied. The violin parts are definite highlights.
Something to chillout to after a hard days work 8)

[Martin Penwald]

Dan's the man!

That being said, this ReMix is really nice and soothing. Very nice for chillin', just the perfect thing to listen to before you shut down your computer and go to sleep.

And yes, we need more Street Fighter (whatever) ReMixes.

[MedHead]

I turned the music on, expecting to carefully listen to every second of it to give it a proper review. Half a minute after it ended, I suddenly realized I hadn't paid any attention to it; the ambient nature of the music had me surfing the web even while it was still playing, rather than giving it my full attention. I suppose, in a way, that because of my lack of attention, the music was made properly, and executed exactly the right response.

When the song first came on, I figured I wouldn't be giving it much of a review, since it seemed like it was going to be boring elevator music. And, in a sense, that's all it is; however, unlike many examples of elevator music, this doesn't get into such sappiness like others, that eventually get not only mind-numbing, but nauseating as well.

This song keeps the formula of "chill" music and keeps it entertaining. The addition of the single violin separates it from the rest of the ambient crowd; but I'm not entirely certain if it really fits the genre. It was played very well (and as someone said, on tune), but there's something about the violin that doesn't really say laid-back to me.

Overall, a good remix, and a recommended download.

This is the ultimate in hawt. Josh and po! together is musical bliss. Stellar work guys, professional grade.

[Shael Riley]

I dig it.

[A-RoN]

This is the sickest remix I've ever heard. You two should work together more often!

10/10 :nicework:

[PlastikBag]

Sick. You two do great collabs. Watermelon Flava was pretty awesome, but this is... Holy shit. I love that bassline a lot. And the violin solo, just pure hawt. Perfect use of instruments here.

[Shwenky]

I've got a fever, and the only perscription is more po!

[kablammyman]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!
8O 8O 8O

You guys stuck your foot in this! ( <- that means that it was well made)

I REALLY like this mix. Im no music expert, so I cant tell you why, but yeah...good stuff

[jorgandar]

It was professional sounding, from people i've heard of before so i knew to expect that. But i didnt really care for it much. I like jazz music, and I thought this didnt have the sort of flair that I would remember. At 1:13 the violin thinggy carries for a while. by 1:50 i would introduce something new. At 2:08 the piano is lovely, but that part only lasts a little while, the a bridge, then its back to the violin..thinggy. I dont know, maybe i just dont like violin..thinggies. Percussion is too same-same after 1:13. At the end, you could introduce stop-time (that's always fun) or something else rather than a fadeout. Play with it a little more.

[Tepid]

Hoping to see more from the two of you. Too much of a good thing (ie jazz and rhodes piano) can be wonderful..and the violin daaaaamn hawt stuff by po!

It's up there with Totoro's Groove.. :wink:

[Kadosho]

Really lovin' this unique take on Dan's Theme.
SFA-series was always mixed in different ways. From tough beats, to jazzy synth.
Then again Dan felt the love of music. His stage was just vibrant, as he was goofy.

This well done mix, really incorporates a labor of love.
Never heard something like this before, especially done with an arcade character's theme.
Nice job JM & Po! We'd love to hear more from both of you!

[Darkmetamorphasis]

Yea I actually like to play dan rather than anyone else, simply because beating the crap out of people with him is very hillarious. This song is really well done with the stage song. It just reminded me of the old days where my friends and I would just play as Dan on SFA2. Ah, well done to both of you!

[Wicked]

I like this. Everything about this is good and does what it's supposed to, although the piano solo can't really follow the bitchin' violin.

I don't know about anybody else but when the violin is playing, the music sounds like something you'd hear from the old SNES RPG Robotrek. I loved that game and bringing back feelings of that game only makes me like this mix more. Good job.

[lady zelda]

This is a very unique and awesome mix. You've got that rhythmic fight vibe going on at the beginning and then it's onto some sweet, mellow-but-upbeat-at-the-same-time jazz. In short, it's really enjoyable throughout. You two make a good mixing pair. Keep it up!

[Selios]

nice funky bass, cool piano and... where the hell did u get this violin sound from?
drums do need some more work, though...

[DCT]

where the hell did u get this violin sound from?
From a violin.

[Mr. Fox]

:lol:

[Aquas Magus]

When I found out that po! and Joshua Morse had done a remix together, I was ecstatic! I can't really find anything to complain about here. Everything just flows together so perfectly in that upbeat yet mellow jazzy way...You two make an excellent pair and I really hope you get together for another song in the future. ^^

You know about their other mix, right?

"Chuck Norris drives an ice cream truck covered in human skulls."

I state that to say that whenever I come by this mix, I mentally mix up the mix and the preceding Chuck Norris Fact for some reason...

Bizarre, I know...

Aaannnyyway, this is very unique; this has a nice driving beat.

:shock:
Ahhh....
This mix just came very clear to me now. I can recognize both Joshua and po!'s hallmarks on this mix.

A Very Nicely Done Mix. :nicework:
Also, the world needs more jazz violinists.

[OA]

Smooth stuff, and the violin really makes it. I almost with it had a little bit of freedom with the main melody away from the piano doubling it the entire time. Generally doubling something works good with samples, where the multiple frequencies can help mask weaker sounds, but when you have something as full as life as a good live performance, it seems counter-intuitive. It sounds great by itself in a little solo.

Either way, this is funky stuff, with nice gliding synths providing counter melody in the background, and a nice soundfield encapsulating things.

[Crulex]

Dan's.....ice cream truck. Alright, points for the creative title. If OCR did anything for me, it's gotten me to appreciate jazz a little more. I can at least sit still and listen to it long enough to enjoy a good tune. That being said, this is a very good tune. The violin was hot and the great piano playing was the cherry on top for this one. Nice to see Dan get a little coverage.

[WesternZypher]

Morse always makes the smoothest mixes - must be, um, slow churned or something? Serve yourself up two scoops of this.
