Very nice. I was just a kid when I played this game, and it felt pretty creepy at the time. I guess it must've been the music. This remix takes that to a whole new level. The dark atmosphere the track carries fits perfectly into my memory of the game. Now to go dust my old cartridge off.

I'm definitely proud to have this one on Dirge for the Follin. For those that know this excellent theme by Tim Follin, the arrangement almost never loses sight of it, and this was definitely very gritty, purposeful, well-produced stuff that took the theme in a dark direction.

Matt hit me out of nowhere with the mix, and I've got Steve to thank for his vision for the track and getting this one going. Congrats to Matt on the birth of little Lauren, and to both Steve and Matt for working back and forth to get this ReMix going and making their OC ReMix front page returns after some long hiatuses. It's great seeing so many old schoolers back in action! Great job, y'all.

this is definitly awesome!
i might be biased, because i hardcored this game as a child - it's right here on my shelf of fame :D

anyway, great track and congrats to the birth of your child Matt!

the only thing that made me "hmm" was the low volume levels, but as the end noise reached me i got that it was on purpose .. nice approach in the end!

I wanted to like it (having played this game for who knows how long as a child), but it was a bit annoying to have to put up with such a long set-up before the actual song, and when it eventually DID get to the theme, it sounded like it was coming out of a pair of bad speakers (for lack of a better word, 'fuzzy', but it was more than that). I'm not expecting pulse-pounding realism or anything like that, but I do expect a bit more sound quality. I do like the idea, and really, if the 'intro' and fuzziness was cut out, I might really like this, but while these sound like small complaints, I can't enjoy a song when it constantly reminds me of its own flaws, even if it is built on good directions and ideas. In short, no, I don't like this song, but I might like it if its few flaws were fixed.

On a lighter note, though, congratulations for the birth! I hope for many years of good health and happiness in her future! n_n

CHILDREN OF THE MONKEY MACHINE!!!1 Didn't think I'd see you back on the remixing saddle!

This is sexy. I have a thing for ambient distortion, so this is a million kinds of awesome.

Yay!

this is really cool. Texturally speaking it reminds me a lot of the work of my computer music teacher, McGregor Boyle. I'm really digging the combination of ambient space with driving METUL rhythm. Nice!!!

HOLY CRAP. the Mix actually made me physically dizzy and nauseous.. but not in a bad way. it gave me the feeling of getting lost in a very evil dungeon. pretty awesome!. The only issue i have with it is the Intro. it's too melded.. kind of like sonic pudding. Other than that A+

Holy fucking shit. I might dare to say that this is the best remix on this whole site. I can honestly say that I never expected to hear such crazy experimenting here - seriously. Drone doom makes my heart get all warm and fuzzy.

My vision consisted of me putting 8-9 different game tracks in a zip file and asking Matt if he liked any of them for remixing purposes. :P
