Wow, this is impressive. Of course I'm a sucker for Megaman remixes in general, and Magnet Man was one of my favorite themes. This does justice to it, and the fact that not every single instrument is a synth makes it easy for non-technoers like me to listen and enjoy. It's smooth and edgy all at the same time. Definitely recommended.

Sure I love megaman remixes (there aren't enough)

And I'm a sucker for them all...

Scratch that, I'm just a sucker.

Anyways, with that little confession out of the way, I thought it was another great mix to be added to my playlist.

This mix kicks total ass. Disco Dan, you need to make a lot more Mega Man mixes, you're sure damned good at it.

Groovy remix.

It's nice and upbeat ~ I've been waiting for a Magnet Man Remix :)

Is there any point to this? Seems like you just put nice-sounding instruments playing the original to some abysmal drum machine beat. Granted, this could be good, but I don't really see any depth to it.

That's all excusable with the intentions and styles of the song, but I've grown to expect a certain level of quality with each remix.

I'm guessing the quality in this is derived from the mood, but I just don't feel it...

(And I would probably be more forgiving if this had a real arrangement. It just seems to loop.)

Isn't this really old?

I used to have this from the days of the old ocremix. Like 3 years ago.

I liked it.

This one is quite old, I don't like it that much. Like the others said there's a lack of depth and stuff. There are plenty of much better MM3 mixes by Disco Dan, which haven't appeared on OCR yet.

As Gecko Yamori said, there are better MM3 remixes by Disco Dan which haven't been posted on OCR. Two that come to mind are his Gemini Man "Around The World" remix and his "Needle Man By Night" one. They're pretty original as well, just presented in a different flavor.

As for this particular ReMix, it's alright. I like the flavor of it, but it felt like it needed more. Yeah, it's repetitive, but you gotta keep in mind, Disco Dan has always been about keepin it real and original (which is a style I like). This is decent, but comes nowhere near the awesomeness of Blue Lightning and Metal Man Goes Clubbing.

Dear god... finally. I've already remixed my #1 favorite vg tune of all time. I could never quite decide how to do my #2 favorite, which would be Magnet Man.

One of the difficulties was that the original, no matter how cool, was very short. So you're automatically excused for the perfectly acceptable amount of repetition in this one. Anybody who is somehow magically unable to hear the variation that Disco Dan has wrung out of this, I regret to inform you that you are deaf, and it's all very sad for you. Seems like some people are too eager to piss on any work that fails to trick them into believing that the Second Coming of Christ has occurred. 'Course everybody's entitled to their opinions and all - and I feel equally entitled to wish them misfortune.

So it isn't every day that a mix of one of my top 5 favorite songs ever appears, and I downloaded this with a mixture of excitement and skepticism.

Now I'm listening to it, and smiling from ear to ear. This is fantastic, DD. There are a couple of places where the chords/slides are nothing short of gorgeous. I also love some of the echo/arp sections in the brokedown latter half - very pretty. The tempo, beat, and tone are of the only sort that I'd want to hear paired with this particular song. So I finally have a souped up Magnet Man to listen too, which I've always wanted - thanks man.

Very nice job.
