brandon/gario you still have yet to make a dirty south gangsta rap arrangement.

Brandon, I still have your barbershop WIP for a Monkey Island remix. It's pretty cool.

Dude, a barbershop remix would be epic. A good friend of mine sings in a barbershop quartet and I always joke he should make a barbershop VGM mix.

I vote for tropical island jams tho, for either participant haha

I've been meaning to do some kind of barbershop thing, I used to be in a quartet in high school. But whenever I try to record vocals I get weirded out by how I sound and just cant do it, hahaha.

hahaha me too man. Whenever I try to record vocals I'm like "wow I sound stupid" DELETE. Someone's gotta tackle barbershop sometime though. That and some true acapella. To my knowledge there is no barbershop on OCR and acapella seems to be reserved for joke mixes on OLR

And hey I realized I forgot to do reviews for last week's mixes with everything else going on and being out of my house and stuff, so yeah better late than never I suppose:

Rexy: Your song's got a bit groovier vibe to it this week, which I enjoyed. I like those synth arpeggio things around 0:40, they sound cool. The bells are a nice touch too. I think that half-time-y sounding break section at 1:30 is my favorite part of the song. I like how the percussion there sounds a bit more deliberate and paced. Nice job incorporating SFX again too. The synth solo around 3:00 is a good change of pace from the rest of the arrangement. The drums sound a little overcompressed throughout the song. I'm used to Pete's percussion being a bit punchier (particularly the snare), but here it sounds like the highs were cut a bit during production or something. I think it would've served the track well for them to be a bit more pronounced. Overall very nice entry though!

Amphibious: The e-piano intro is suuuper chill. It really set the atmosphere for the rest of the song. I felt like it went on just a tad too long, but I like the jazzy, oh so slightly delayed note hits. The percussion and sweep at 1:00 was a nice entry to the proper song. The sax is just so silky smooth, nice work Xenon! The arrangement is fairly simple, but you kept things really fresh and interesting by passing the lead between the sax and the electric guitar. The re-entry of the sax there in the second half is probably my favorite part, with the percussion hold right before 3:00. Just overall a super chill jazzy piece. Great job!

Hey everyone try to talk Dustin Fisher into recording vocals for my finale entry

Though to be fair, with the use of Paul McCartney, I thought that was more like the compo's chiptuny brother of "Vampire's Kiss". ;)

Don't be a crepe was one of the best songs made so far.

Oh jeez

You're gonna make me cry man tears of happiness

You're giving me good butt feelings, my man!

[Tuberz McGee]

And with that I return to listening to "Don't Be A Crepe", because honestly, It's a damn fine track man.
I love the edginess of it, it's super aggressive which is exactly the thing I love in a track like this.
And the integration of both sources was excellent.

It's awfully quiet in here... remember no new music this week but we will get the results of the Brandon Strader vs. Gario matchup, which will set us up for the final round next week!
