Great, great song.

But I'm even happier that DJP mentioned Izzard in the write up.

But yes. The quotes and the "Seig Heil" are the best part of this extremely creepy song.

Although I'm not implying that Mazedude's other work isn't astounding (He executed a visionary Zeal remix), this sounds like a midi with some Hitler samples.

Default Wooooow.

Abso-fucking-lutely fantastic. Very unique choice of song, and a wonderful recreation. Props to whomever requested it, and props to Mazedude for giving the theme song the Mazedude-brand smickety-smack pimpolization. Instant addition to my playlist.

dude!!! this kicks some serious ass, I love the Hitler quotes used throughout the song, it really makes it that much better as you seem to have meant it, to keep the sad feeling of war, it is, man, just really REALLY admirable that you captured the seriousness of a the war in a VG Remix

I already hold Mazedude in very high regard, with works such as Norfair Deathmarch, RiverCityRammstein, Blood Bath, and SurfaceoftheMoon under his belt. I was going to be very critical of this piece...

Being half-german, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. But as soon as I heard those quoes, I was torn apart, almost brought to tears. He did a great job with the over all tone, and hearing the cheers of the soldiers under Adolphs command is indescribable... Another masterpiece from the Master of Music. Well done man.

First of all, nice job.

Mazedude asked in one of the threads on the board were german folks found together if someone could listen to his remix and tell him if the speech from Hitler was offending. At this time I thought "A Hitlerspeech? In a Wolfenstein Remix? This will attract some trouble." You have to know that "Wolfenstein 3D" and "Return to Castle Wolfenstein" is banned in Germany not only because of using the Swastika, but shooting on People, Hitler and some other stuff too. That's why I was sceptic.

So I listened to this song and was impressed what he did out of the Opening Song. It's a nice balance of Electronic and Classic mixed with sad influences and the mindbreaking speech of Hitler. Even the speech was cutted perfectly, he felt that it was right this way and I have to agree. Unfortunately I don't have the original song in mind anymore to give more comments. But I also have to say out loud that Mazedude didn't want to offend anyone with this mix and that this is no Nazi propaganda!

To the speech itself. It seems that Mazedude catched a "audio arrangement" of different speeches from Hitler. I found out that the part at the end of the Song was from his speech in Berlin in April 1933. Another part seems to be from his later speeches while he used his propaganda more for War agression.

I guess the native german ones can hear out what he's saying. For all those who can't understand german, I wrote a translation from the file Mazedude was using:

Quote:
*audience standing up*
The Fuehrer: "This all is... Heil!"
Audience: *heil! heil! heil!*

The Fuehrer: "I know it my cormorades. It was obiously often difficult for you. If you believe that a change is needed now, but he can't and again the roll-cast has to be set! It has to go on fighting. It doesn't go this way, you mustn't act, you have to obey *text fades out at this point*, you have to accommodate, you have to bow to the constraint."

Audience: *sieg! heil! sieg! heil!*

Audience again: *heil!*

Audience again: *heil!*

The Fuehrer: "The great time has started now. Germany has awakened now. We gained power now in germany. Now we need to gain the german people."

As I said earlier. Nice Job, perhaps we hear more from this kind of "mixing".

I really like Mazedude's latest songs. They distinguish themselves from other stuff on OCR. Mazedude has definetly evolved to a great artist on OCR. "Nazi requiem"'s mood really moved me, just like "Spacestation..." did.

Keep the great work up Mazedude. :)

This piece is amazing. I can just see a concentration camp in my mind when I hear this song. Well, what I think one would be like, anyway. This is extremely moving stuff. The hitler quotes are very chilling, used at appropriate times and mixed well with the piece. The repeated slow-downs, the places where the music would stop altogether and the ambience after the heavier sounding bits also added to the very deep and moving feel it had.

I'm very impressed with this one, Mazedude is only getting better, and for someone with his skill, this can only be a good thing.
