What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix.

This is something my mom would like. Which usually means I don't want to touch it.

However, it's Vurez, it's good, so hey, no harm, no foul.

The mix itself is very good, as to be expected of Vurez.

But I do not see how this falls into the vision that Shael initially stated that this should be urban, electronic, beat oriented. In the SF2 site it says "The arrangements contained herein have been designed to be evocative of dark, pseudo-romanticized urban imagery: abandoned playgrounds and crowded street markets; back-alley block parties and hole-in-the-wall bar dives, scenes that are, I hope, befitting of a tribute to one of the most iconic games in arcade history."

I'm a little confused on how this mix from a genre perspective was found acceptable, but txai's was not - irrespective to the difference of quality between the two.

I listened to pretty much all the mixes of the project yesterday though and thought Shael and Malcos did an otherwise great job with the project. The Malcos and RTF collabs in particular were delicious.

Congrats to those involved.

Well, it's got a beat structure. But yeah, this mix is jiggy, fly, and awesome. Nice work, Don!

Funny story behind that:

One of my only criticisms of Vurez's steller first WIP about a year ago was his use of some vocal samples that didn't quite mesh with the rest of his production. Exited about the track, and something of an egoist, I offered to replace the pre-fab vocal samples with my own chantnig and singing. Vurez declined, saying he intended to record the vocals himself, and then promptly recorded vocals that exceed by an immeasurable sum the quality of my snot-nosed, post-alt-rock crooning (which is, coincindentally, featured in a later track on the album).

The end product is evertything Dave praises it for being in his write-up; that is to say it's an excellent track and stands out in the album for a number of reasons. Though it did raise some initial concern about keeping the album consisitant in its urban tone, it ultimately won me and other concerned parties over. It ended up being the reason for me going into my write-up and adding into the examples of images that songs from this project were intended to be evokative of "crowded street markets," and I don't mean to say that this track brought to the project's theme any compromise. Rather, it expanded it in a way that included a tone which, while remaining consistant with the project's theme, I'd overlooked previously. A number of tracks did that, and they ended up being some of my favorite tracks on the album.

Fair enough shael. Great stuff. Congratulations all around.

Very chill. I've been waiting for the next great remix album to come along, and here it is.

I recommend this to anyone who loves Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo, and to everyone and anyone who loves music.

[your the man now dog]

how serendipitous is this? I just finished watching The Outlaw Josey Wales and out pops this remix! Truly remarkable mixing. I'm a huge Ennio Morricone fan, so this track naturally has a special place in my heart (and more importantly, my playlist).

[GregCaldwell]

I am amazed,astonished,astounded, and all together affected. I love the western gun-slinger type feel this remix has. It seriously makes me feel like I want to ride a horse into the sun set, and have an inevitable show down with my greatest foe. Also it kind of makes me want to karate chop things and have sword fights and and .. uh anyways.. this remix may seem abstruse compared to the others of the same project, but don't let that turn you off! This is kickass, 10/10.

[Prizm4]

What can I say but very well done, very enjoyable.

I'm also a fan of Ennio Morricone and Spaghetti Western music (like Once Upon a Time in the West) - and thought this track captured the essence of the genre.

The vocals really took the track to a new level - well done!

One of the best I've heard,
