I think we can do something different here. Each of us would slap "PCReMix" to WIP board topic headers and submissions posts. Other people would see PCReMixers helping each other out on the WIP forum - what we should do is when we see a WIP thread with "PCReMix" in it, is to pile on it and give lots of constructive feedback. This way people take notice of this fantastic initiative and join in.

There's so many projects around these days, that each of them doesn't get the same level of attention as they used to, from what I can tell. Usually the projects also are worked on mostly out of sight, whereas it'd be interesting and different to try to have this thing happen in plain view.

However, some sort of an album would be cool. For instance, when we have a bunch of posted ReMixes, I wonder if djp and site staff would be open to doing a "compilation album", perhaps with new bonus tracks (which could comprise the mixflood).

only drawback is most of those songs won't be new and already available. best way is to try to submit a few of them as preview of the incoming album.

I'm sorry to say I agree with Eino on this one. First of all, I don't think I'm competent enough to be a project director, and even if I were, I'm not comfortable judging other people's work since I'm a real nitpicker.

If someone wants to start a PC-related album, they're welcome to do so (and I'll probably contribute a track to it), but for now I'll just be keeping this initiative as it is. If it works, it'll be a lot more rewarding than just a stuffy project album that stays hidden for years on end.

I'm sure we'll get more support and coverage if we stick to the plan. Maybe we can even get out of this Remix Requests hellhole. =D

Speaking of remixes, I've started working on my Eye of the Beholder II track, and Draconiator has started a thread for his Jill of the Jungle mix. You can find the links to our threads in the first post.

(Draconiator, add PCReMix to your thread title if you want us to find you sooner. =D )

I agree with Archangel agreeing with me. Great to see those WIP threads up, I went ahead and added my comments! Let's get this rolling. Show that DarkeSword that this is not a request, but collaboration! (:

Nobody here is collaborating on an album or a specific work that will be released as a single entity. It is a very fancy and elaborate request for remixes of music from PC games. Seriously, let it go and stop harping on it.

DarkeSword, apologies. It was a poke intended in good humour, but I hear you, enough about that.

I got the joke. =P

Thanks for being so enthusiastic, Eino! If there's ever a credits list for this initiative, you'll get special thanks. XD

Well I have to say, this sounds pretty awesome to someone like me, a lot of my fondest gaming memories are with old PC games, and this definitely seems like something the site could use! I have had some ideas for source material in the past that I'll have to think back on, definitely a couple from The Quest for Glory series that I think could make for some great mixes.

For now I will gladly adopt a signature banner and look forward to seeing what comes of this moving forward!

I really like the idea of a PC based project. This is definitely a project I will be looking after to it's completion. Good luck everyone.

Well, it's not going to be done. It's not an album project, we're just making ReMixes for PC here, cheering and helping out each other. What's great about it is that you don't have to wait for a full album to be done; mixes from this initiative are going to hit the front page sooner or later. Well, considering the time it takes to go through the panel and then to-be-posted queue, it's going to be later. But they'll be there!
