Default OCR00222 - Batman 'Music of Funk'

Woot. Get down and dance. I always remembered how much I liked this
theme from the original game, and this is a fun dance version. It's a little
slow to start, but once it's gets going it's great. Rock the beat with j00r
feet.

Music of Funk's opening beat is distinct and got my attention, and the track is good the whole way through. While I'm not a big techno fan, the music hear is nevertheless very tight, and the way it meshs so well with the sampling from the NES game is excellent. Because the music is very unique, I wanted it to repeat as opposed to viewing the ReMix as repetitive. I think you know what I mean.

This being my first review, I have to say that I've listened to every single ReMix on OverClocked (yep), yet haven't played most of the games the mixes are from, so (while having a connection with a particular game is sweet) I appreciate just listening to the majority of the tracks here and judging them as straight-up music. In this case, Stephen Kennedy's Music of Funk is definitely great as a ReMix, but if you didn't know it was from the Batman NES game, you could argue that it holds its own in many respects as a song. Definitely check it out.

Of quite a few remixes of Games I have heard so far.... This one has the posture and grand scale of being able to be played in a dance club and not even known it was a remix of a game. The whole techno feel of it comes out strong as if the song it was remixed from was meant to dance to.

This person gave it 200% I would say

Straight-up dance/techno here, including several voice samples throughout. Fun, fun. Not much else to say about it, as it's pretty solid through the full length of the song.

i know i am new and I know many of you probably won't agree with this review but I am sorry this doesn't sound like anything from the original batman game for NES. I hear the opening of Jurasic Park for the Sega the little movie i guess you'd call it when the t-rex east grant's car in the beginning and this thing changes so often from one song to another it's dificult to get involved in something or get down to something when just a few notes later it changes again. Maybe i'm just not listening hard enough or maybe cause i couldn't get past the 3rd or 4th level maybe i'm missing the actual tunes but I don't hear anythign resembling batman.

Default Holy Glo-Sticks, Batman!

This is the Second game song I looked for after finding out about this site, no doubt the song is a classic. The original just stuck out on the original Batman game on the NES. (Coincidentally, this song is on the PC Engine/Turbo Graphix-16 version as well). This remix in fact would work at the club, and no one (except a handful of geeks like myself:)) would be the wiser. Great remix, in spite of the voiceovers. Adds an intensity to the song that needed to be there. Get out the glo-sticks on this one! Tight!
