OCR00815 - Rockman & Forte 'Hyperrock Fortissimo'

[Disco Dan]

Rockman & Forte 'Hyperrock Fortisimo'


Ok, this is weird. I know I've heard this theme before, like, enough to remember it verbatim, but unless "Rockman and Forte" has an American Equivalent by a different name like X2 or X5 or something, I know I've never played the original. Wonder if they just used the music more than once...

Anyway, this is a questionable mix in my mind, because I wasn't aware that techno was legally allowed to be this fast. However it's very well put together, the sounds are professional, and though the 180bpm four-on-the-floor sound can get annoying after overexposure, it varies enough to keep it interesting.

I like this mix a lot! Filled with energy, nice pitch bends, reverb on the right instruments. And the ending adds some original parts that are really well done! Excellent!

[DarkeSword]

Nice track. Lots of detail; I like that.

FANTASTEEK! ^(-_-)^

Some of the notes in this song were indeed learned from a midi file. The majority of them were figured out on my own though (like 90%). The drums are 100% original. I didn't not use one premade sample or loop. I took the song, gave it the makeover I felt it needed, and to many, the end result was quite pleasing.

It is true that the notes used in the mix don't stray far from the original, but it is not always necessary, and in this case I felt that it was appropraite for the song.

[MegaManFan]

You can buy the GBA version of Rockman & Forte and it works in the U.S. GBA. Aside from the screen size, it's a perfect port.

[GeckoYamori]

It's translated and released outside Japan next year as Mega Man and Bass.

[Bowsa]

This has enough to keep my attention, and although this is very fast techno, it's very well put together. Very energetic and very detailed. Nothing particularily bad. Nice job!

[BrettUltimus]

What a good and wonderful day this has been! Two wonderful re-mixs straight in a row, this has made me happier then the fall weather Florida has FINALLY been getting!!

Rockman and Forte has always had some good music, and the Museum in the beginning was a great theme. So, obviously, if you are going to remix it, you need to make it better... and you did... 10 fold...

The beat in the beginning almost sounds as a Donkey Kong Country 2'ish beat, which is good, and then gets into this almost crazy techno beat (and I'm one of those guys that if its Techno, dammit, it better be good, cause theres a lot of them out there), which kept me in the song, wanting more. DJ Abjurator doesn't cease there, and continues to give me more, all the way til the end.

The only thing I regret about this song is this. That I'm going to have to go BACK into my profile, and put another 10 out of 10 song link and composer link. Damn you, DJ Abjurator, Damn you. :p

Great job!!

FINAL SCORE: 10/10

[Aureolius]

After submitting this song I decided that it had a little too much bass. I re-recorded it with less bass and corrected some other quality issues. If you like this song you can get the better one here:

Thanks.

This Song is magnifficent. I was woundering if you could help me out. How can i remix a song on only fruityloops? It would help very much to know how i get the beats of one song onto my original project. And second of all, DJ A, ii wanna do a duel project with you, so can u get back to me?

[Unbiased Reviewer]

the unbiased reviewer gives this selection a 9.5/10.

this song is so bad-ass it will make you crap your pants. after listening to this remix, it instantly reminded me off the days when i played the game as a ROM. anyone who has played the game will instantly remember this melody. this song contains a lot of bass which will shake the paint off your walls.

the main theme is held very strongly for two solid rotations. at around 3:00, the ending to the songs starts with some high speed synth arpegios and sinks into a fade out. this song is never gets old, and its here to stay.

[Forte-sama]

Well, first off, let me say "WOW! What a fantastic ReMix!!". Something about it seems very gripping - to me, it sounds something like the opening of a movie (a Rockman & Forte movie, of course). I found it to be pretty inspirational stuff, and very energetic. I've listened to both versions (the earlier one, and the newer, re-recorded one) many, many times now, and, as Unbiased Reviewer said, it never gets old.

I've recommended this ReMix to just about everyone I know (Rockman fans or not), and all have been equally impressed.

Awesome work, DJ Abjurator - you've got a fan for life. I hope you do another R&F mix sometime - one's just not enough ^_-

[Dafter]

This remix does really bring back the old days when my Zsnes had sound.
It gives me that feeling that you just want more and more, and yes I´ do, I wan´t more from DJ Abjurator(or other remixers that feel that they wanna give some RockMan & Forte remixes). It´s a great remix and I really hope they I´ll be more of those coming. Sucha shame, I´m not a remixer myself, so I could do the same to all of you out there//Dafter

[Aureolius]

Thank you Dafter, Forte-Sama, Unbiased-Reviewer, Ninjajew, BrettUltimus, and everyone else who has taken their time to express thier views on my work.

Because of your feedback and encouragement, I have decided to do a second "Rockman and Forte" mix. The source material will not be revealed until the song is complete though.

Thanks again.

[PaRaNoiA : ReBirTh]

Wow....great song. Man, Ive had this song for a while now and didnt really notice it on my list after a good week on being it. So I played it and I just loved it.
This is just one of those songs you keep lisening too and dont get tired. Heh, one of the regulars on my Winamp! Great job!!! This is awesome!

[Cheese Soda]

Great music!!! awesome!!
its bad they dont have a remix of the theme bass/forte.

[Kadosho]

Very odd,this is the only Rockman title with just one remix?
How can that be?! It needs more love!
Dj Abjurator I gotta say this is a excellent mix.

[01seven]

when disco dan said 180bpm, I almost wet my pants....

The mix is good, I remember playing an zsnes version of this game and I can recall the BGM well.


because I wasn't aware that techno was legally allowed to be this fast. However it's very well put together...
Get into jungle and DnB! theres a whole genre dedicated to it :)

[DruManIaC_714]

Very odd,this is the only Rockman title with just one remix?
How can that be?! It needs more love!


that is because of the incredible rarity of the game. almost anyone who has even played this game had done through via emulators. the game was released after Mega man 8 in 1999 for the superfamicon in japan. it attracted very little attention in japan so no uS version was ever made. this game however became very popular as a rom for emulators like ZSNES or SNES9X. there were translations made of this game into either 50% or 75% english, enough to understand so that one could play. anyway the new GBA version has released and finally had a database in english so that we can actually understand the renting of the maverick bosses. the music of this game only became popular over zsnesa and was hard to transfer out of it. but i really hope with the release of the GBA version there could be more remixes, especiall of magic mans stage, damn that was a good remix!

[Kadosho]

I know what ya mean Drum.
More artists need to show some love to this classic in the long running series!

[kablammyman]

This is one of my favorite mixes (in the top 3). Excellent work.

[The Berserk Fury]

I havent played this game in years so iam not fimmailr with the orinignal. But this is great. 8)

[CobaltDelta]

Well, actually, This was...OKAY, but the intro was so long, that it almost made me wonder 'Is this ever gonna get to an actual SONG?' well, I was quite surprised when it turned out to be that intro stage! And that was one of my favorite songs ever! :nicework: Truely brings out the best in one of my favorite games of all time!

[F_L_I_P]

Yay that was one of my favorite stages in the game. i love the music in it too. Thats was a cool remix. its one of my favorites.

[Xerus]

I liked it. Not my favorite mix, to be honest, but, I found it as a pleasing surprise. Not too far a cry from the original song, which is a good thing, however, I felt that it was far too heavy on the synthesizer. Use some instruments.

[Jabberbox]

OH 1337XXORZ (sorry) BUT AWESOME!!!!!!!!
I likes the intro-to-main transition, it is so gradual that you are alreadt into the main before it starts

[Brim]

This song is very VERY fast and its very VERY cool. The best techno I have heard in awhile. I like this song, its a very fast-paced song, and it keeps to the original but somehow surpasses it by alot.

A permanent on my list now.

[Zeality]

Never came to pay my respects to this song. It was a stroke of extreme luck that the only song to be remixed from R&F would be this one, my favorite. Thanks.

[DJ Pili]

The rhythm is perfect for a workout, especially kickboxing!

[Magical Ninja]

Wow. A techno Song I like.

[RimFrost the Tourianist]

This is quite good.

A bit repetivite techno, but solid overall.
And i always enjoyed Megaman music anyway..

[Dj K.A.B]

Awsome song ive been waiting for someone to remix the intro stage to rockman and forte

[Darkmetamorphasis]

I've always welcomed Megaman Remixes and this is no execption, this is really supurb of how it follows the Robot Museum exactly, which I guess is a plus for me, but besides that, I love how the tempo is and how much energy you can feel from it, its cool and thanks for making one for us Capcom and Megaman fans

[Psychotic Ninja]

Ah yes, this is the first remix I ever downloaed off of OC ReMix back in June, I believe. Great remix, and this is the one that got me hooked on this site.

[linkspast]

the bass in the intro is prety sweet. over all good mix.

[MstrSwrd]

I'll admit it's a been a while since I played this game, so it took me a bit to recognize the theme, but, I enjoyed it anyway. Fun to listen to.

Oh, and to the Djpretzel, note that the game has since been released for the GBA as "Megaman and Base." Just thought I'd put that out there.

I apologize for any perceived rudeness.

[Dj Mokram]

The Museum Stage BGM from Rockman & Forte is a personal favorite.
As a matter of fact, I'm right in the middle of remixing it too...
Yet, I can't believe that to this day, this is the only remix from that game on OCR. :shock:

Anyway, nice introduction, I was unsuspecting till the beat started.
This arrangement is very true to the source, in the way that it follows the original melodic structure faithfully.
Yet the new textures and melodies add a lot to the mix.

I like how the new material blends-in at 2:45.
The arrangement enhances the song with faster tempo and punchy drum/synth sequence combo...
Its like a musical powerup when you think about it. ;-)

Somehow, it sounds more like some of the recent work on the serie, namely Rockman Exe or Rockman Zero.
All things considered, this is pretty decent remix, and I liked it.

[Nutritious]

Kind've typical treatment of a megaman track with the 4 on the floor and synths - but that doesn't necessarily make it a bad thing. Aureolius changes things up nicely with the added Breaks at 1:03 and switchup of the melody. Generally, things come out clearly production-wise and there's enough different elements in the synths and backing pieces to keep things interesting. Good stuff here, worth checking out.

[OA]

pretty standard stuff, but it's energetic and has some cool touches. The hard panned percussive swishes at the beginning were especially cool. The variation throughout with different styles of beats was pretty cool as well.
