OverClocked ReMix...

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

First of all, Yuzo Koshiro is not the original composer of Shinobi III. The only Shinobi's Yuzo worked on was Revenge of Shinobi and the two Game Gear Shinobi's. That's it. He had nothing to do with the original (or any incarnation of it on a home system), nothing to do with Shadow Dancer (arcade or home versions, which were completely different), Shinobi III, the Saturn Shinobi (Ug) nor Shinobi for the PS2. Not sure why that bothers me so much. Glad to have that off my chest. Oh well life goes on:

Anyway, on to the ReMix. Definitely nice sounds and a nice interpretation of the best tune from the game. I still enjoy listening to the Genesis original more, though. The only way I think that could be improved is with better sounding instruments but with the same construction of the tune. Hopefully someone will prove me wrong someday. But if you want a slightly slowed down multi-genre version of "the good tune" from Shinobi III, then this you want this!

I couldn't find the composer of this song so I assumed it was Yuzo, sorry Joe..

Also, before anyone calls me a hack or a cheat, I know the opening trance synths sound VERY similar to a certain Rank 1 tune. I had repeated listening of said tune a few years ago when it was big and it stuck in my head all this time I guess. When I went to write this song, I subconciously wrote bascially the same line that was in the other tune. Even when I played it back I was thinking, "This seems familiar" but I couldn't put my finger on it.

When I posted it to the WIP forum some others were quick to inform me where it was from and it all came back to me. In other words, I didn't mean to or know I was borrowing notes from other songs until afterwards. Hopefully I don't get shot for this. :)

Wow. This sounds REALLY nice. Reminds me a lot of Heaven by DJ Sammy or whoever that dude is. Anyways, nice work.

I heard this while it was still a WIP thanks to Rayza sending it to me in #ocremix.

As far as this remix goes, I've said it once and I'll say it again: Rayza rocks.

2:02-2:17 is my favorite part because it sounds SO much like Rayza's trademark-ish sound that I absolutely love.

Don't really know what else to say except...I don't mind techno as long as there is a good melody present, which this has a little repetition on, but is enjoyable and good nonetheless. Besides that I'd have to say this mix is worth it just for 2:02-2:17.

I heard this piece when it was WIP as well, found it on the boards. I've enjoyed the tune ever since. Nice to have fast and slow paces all throughout the song. I'm no expert, but I still like what I hear.

Wow man, AWSOME REMIX!!! I wish I had your skills. I will one day... Just not now.

I loved it from begginning to end. But the worst part is that it ended. I wish it went on for eternity and I could dance to it forever. Sadly, no song lasts forever. Uh, actually I wouldn't have enough energy for that. Great Remix, Great Song... Great

Note: I've never heard of this game, I just love music. I love music I love.

I think you have accomplished a very difficult feat by fusing the classic chipset-sounding synth into an electronic song while preserving the professional and mainstream sound.

I am not a professional when it comes to electronic music genres, because quite frankly, there are hundreds. This sounds more like club or house to me.

Genre is not important though. It sounds great man. I love it.

Haha... Yeah, right.
That stroke me the 1st time I listened to your mix...
It's very similar to Awakening from Rank 1.
Not that it's a bad thing, I love both that music and your remix.

Keep up the good work.
