Full-length remix album in the works; I need your help

[Benjamin Briggs]

I'm chthonic, for those of you who don't know.

So basically I'm working on an album. It's going to be neato. The concept is this: Think of the word "Remix". Now think of what it meant before we drenched it in things like "arrangement" and "deviance from the original". Yeah, I'm talking oldschool game remixes. 90s shit. To give you a better feel for the genre, I've made a preview thing that spotlights three of the tracks on the album... get it here (http://www.cs.hmc.edu/~afield/chth-preview.mp3).

The reason I am posting this here is to give you all a heads up and ask you to start spreading the word or whatever, but also to see if any of you have ideas about which tracks I should do. I'm looking for C64, NES, and Game Boy stuff to work with, although I might consider SNES and Genesis and even later stuff. Basically, if you have a theme you want to hear actually REMIXED, as apposed to arranged/remade, tell me here. I won't tell you which ones I choose right away, but I might let you know.

Thanks in advance, guys!

[Benjamin Briggs]

Hm, I forgot to finish the preview track before I posted. Gimme a second.

[Chickenwarlord]

You want old Gameboy stuff to remix?
I'd pay good money (15$) for a cd that included a 'We're Back' remix/rearrangement or two.

[Dhsu]

I give you fie dolla.

[Mr. Fox]

[Ujjay]

Oh hell yeah. I always loved the jungle theme music!! I always end up playing that short melody snippet when practicing or goofing around on piano/keyboard.

[supremespleen]

Oh hell yeah. I always loved the jungle music!!Unintentionally funny.

[neminem]

Dang, way to make me think you'd put new material up, that I hadn't already heard before. Ah! Alright, you put in a few more seconds on Bag It! than I'd heard previously, so I'm happy. I suppose I'd pay a few bucks for a net release, or possibly up to 10 for a real, pressed cd with good art and everything, if there were enough good mixes on it to justify buying.

So yeah. I already knew about this (and have told you that it's an awesome idea several times). It's an awesome idea. Even if I hang out on GYBO a lot too, so when I think of the word "remix", I do still think, "tracks that sample the original but use primarily original samples". Remix in this case being opposed to mashups, which are tracks that sample original songs and use only at most a small quantity of samples that were made by the song creator.

Anyway, I might get back to you on songs later, knowing now that you want them. By later, I mean "next time I feel like listening to OSTs".

[watkinzez]

Great idea, Bin Breggs. Of the few true remixes you find around, most tend to be rather lacking. The only suggestion I have is more Game Boy mixes- lots of good stuff there.

[neminem]

Oh, by the way, I hate rapidshare. I hate enough that you should redirect people here (http://www.cs.hmc.edu/~afield/chth-preview.mp3) instead. ;)

GGGGOOOOOOOOO CHTHONIC!!!

[Dhsu]

GGGGOOOOOOOOO CHTHONIC!!!
You.

You are not John Stamos.

IMPOSTOR.

[Benjamin Briggs]

Your search - you are not john stamos nes chiptune - did not match any documents.

Suggestions:
* Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
* Try different keywords.
* Try more general keywords.
* Try fewer keywords.

[Red Shadow]

If we can still suggestimate, do you remember that "Knuckles Chaotix - Tachy Touch" track I bugged you about a while back?

That's what I'm suggesting if you didn't infer it.

Also I'd paypal you some monies for this.

[Benjamin Briggs]

SIR WE CANNOT SEE THROUGH THE BUMP

WHAT

SHOULD WE GET THE MACHETE

NO WE DO NOT HAVE ONE

I DO NOT THINK WE COULD GET ONE AT TARGET, EITHER

[ILLiterate]

LOL I remember you sent me a folder with some MP3s of this SUCH A LONG TIME AGO

Yea it's awesome

For an NES track you have to remix a track from Journey To Silius and if you do it good, I promise to pay for this album, even if it is $238472938472983747897249 and I explode from bankrupness

[Antipode]

First of all - I LOVE the concept for this album. This stuff would be great.
I would almost definitely buy this album. I love what I hear in the preview.

My suggestions for others -

- The train ride theme from the first Wario Land for Gameboy. (Emphasis on this one)
- Maybe the main overworld theme from Metroid 2.
- You might be able to do some cool stuff with the main overworld theme from Super Mario Bros 2.
- Perhaps one of the main themes from Kirby's Dreamland would work.

Get lots of good and unexpected Gameboy tunes and I'll be happy as a clam. If I come up with any other suggestions, I'll be back.

[Nineko]

- The train ride theme from the first Wario Land for Gameboy. (Emphasis on this one)yes.

[Antipode]

I need this project.

[Red Shadow]

chthonic come homehttp://hell.oddwebsite.com/images/smiles/emot-sad.gif

[Benjamin Briggs]

so I don't know how long this project is going to take or if it will ever be finished

however, I am doing a really neato zelda 3 remix that is almost finished

kbye

[Red Shadow]

yeszsz

[Chickenwarlord]

I would buy it if it had some Pop'n Twinbee stuff on there.

[Sam Ascher-Weiss]

Yo ben... I e-mailed you a month ago.. no response!! WHAT'S THE DEAL KID???

[Audity]

Is that the Mario RPG casino music? Sounds ridiculously improved, and actually listenable, as if that bass-line was meant for that exact surround progression you gave i....WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S NEVER GOING TO BE COMPLETE oh

I mean continue with your mario 3 mix. And while you're at it, arrange about 5000 more musics plz, and make money somehow. Lots of money, so you never stop making music.

[Antipode]

This album MUST be finished. I don't care if it's just like 10 songs - you know no one else is going to make one of these with good quality...

[Benjamin Briggs]

at any rate, it makes me happy that fifteen people chose "absolutely not, fag"

I was expecting 20+

[Red Shadow]

bumping this just for the hell of it
