OverClocked ReMix...

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 'Tight Finale'

This is pretty cool - Jivemaster works his magic on another sonic song. Not much to say here, other than it's almost complete ass-kickage. The repetativeness keeps it from being *total* ass-kickage, but considering the source material Jivemaster had to work with (which sounds like a simple 3-chord progression to me, with a discernable melody coming in only near the very end) he did pretty good.

I really REALLY like this song. It's actually one of my favorites. I know it's awfully repetitive, but it's really upbeat, and it just feels like there's tons of energy in the song. It's just so darn lively!

9.9/10- At OC.org, I am searching for the "pefect remixes" of videogame songs. Yours is damn close. I like the song so much becuase it's sticking to the original theme, but is still something different. The use of the "clap" sound was wonderful, and whatever you used for the backround theme was perfect, and never tired me out. The ONLy problem i had with the song was the instrument choice for the main melody, which is played at the end. It could have been a little more "in yo face".

Otherwise, it's an excellent remix.

This is my first review.

!BEST REMIX EVAR!
!!!OmG OMG OmG!!!
This is too much greatness (98.7% on the greatness supreme scale) for me, I'm almost crying.
But now I'll never find any chill-out music good enough to accompany this. :(

prologue (1): I never liked the original song. it annoyed me.
prologue (2): usually I like Jivemaster's works

then, on the remix.
as usual, Jive managed to improve by 3250% the greatness of a song. the bad news is that the source song had very few to improve. if I can give this a numeric vote, it would be like 19/30, like a 6+ because I'm happy

I love this source tune's melody, and I've never even heard the source itself.

And Jive turns it into one of the most energetic mixes on the site, mainly brought about by the constantly repeating circular-sounding synth. The mix can be said to use many electronic-music cliches, and actually I can agree a little since they're often mixed too sharply, but I can't help but love the sound anyway. Put this in any rhythm game for me any day.

Someone said the ending melody should have been more powerful or something, and I agree with that to no end. Given the high energy throughout the rest, the sample is weak in comparison.

It had been a while since I've heard this track.

I always played Sonic 3 locked on to Sonic and Knuckles, so I just never passed the game on its own...

GREAT rendition.

A bit on the repetative side, but there is a lot of energy here, and the synths are generally pretty good. Having several rotating arpeggios gives a lot of motion, and the semblance of the chord structure really well.
The filtered repetition of the melody was really nice as a bridge, It gave a little more life to what was starting to get stale. Copout ending IMO, I would have preferred a ascending run and then the boomy hit rather than just a boomy hit, but whatever.

Still a decent remix.
