OCR00847 - Double Dragon 'Hammer's Garage'

Double Dragon 'Hammers Garage'

Sweet Neostorm, this just kicks. Wah organ madness, and a beautiful array of other instruments. I especially love that whole organ solo thing at the end. I'm trying to think of anything I could possibly compare this to, but it's just not happening. I don't think I've heard anything using instruments like these before in my life. Excellent work Neostorm, very unique.

It's about time a Double Dragon mix got accepted.

And what better way to start a mix than with thugs punching a girl in the stomach and hauling her away.

I like this song overall as it has that kind of beat that is just happy and good. The thing that threw me off kinda was the drums weighed a bit heavy on the right side. But in time I got used to it. I liked the little piano bits inside of it as they gave it sort of a sad feel in the midst of the happiness.

An overall great song.

I agree about the drums being slightly off balanced, but overall, as a general, upbeat remix, this one works on quite a few levels. Almost had me dancing in my chair :)

This is great! I love those organ sounds. You could have made that pattern played by a non-effected organ, and it would have sounded fine, but the little cutoff changing effects just adds a great touch. And again with the organs, your improv is really great! I've been in jazz bands and I wish our soloists would throw in such cool, melodic ideas into their improv solos. Everything else is top notch! Nice stuff.

Hooray, Double Dragon finally gets a mix at OCR! Well, i still think the perfect DD mix would be a rock/techno mix, but this one was still quite entertaining. It's pretty fun to listen to if you just like a happy kinda dance tune, but if you're a DD fan, you'll definitly enjoy it !

Very nice, This is the stuff I like to see on OC.
I am not farmiliar with the arcade version of this game, but I played the Nes version 1000 times. The song is basically the same with minor differences. Love the use of instruments. Love the expansion on the melody. Keep it up Neo

Yeah!!! Great job on this remix, dude! I really enjoyed the wah-organ approach, and I totally agree with Ryan8bit's comment about the "happy" feeling....it's got a very upbeat and energetic rhythm that has helped re-motivate me into working on my Goonies 2 cave-theme jazz remix

Awesome!

Wow guys, i appreciate all the great feedback. With all this good review im afraid my next submission wont be as good hehe. Im going to try though

Sorry about the pan on the percussions. I was messing around with a stereo enhancer vst (without using headphones -- BAD mistake) and it sounded just fine on my stereo. the stereo enhancer kinda panned the percussions to the right a little. In either case, it still sounds good if you dont use headphones -

I don't know exactly what song(s) i heard the wah-wah organ from, but throughout my years listening to old funk music, im sure thats where my inspiration came from. I'm glad you guys liked that, i was thinking some would think it was old fashioned. But I like it funky, baby... yea!

Man...so modest

I honestly think this is *the* best dance genre remix on this site. And your solo's kick so much ass, even my bud's that dont like dance are like "Wow, that is some badass jam". Mad props mang.
