OverClocked ReMix...

Actraiser 'Lord PROTEKTOR'

A very odd and funky version of the quiet "town" music from AssRaider err I mean ActRaiser. Not as smooth as Yuzo's original, this has kind of a harsh sound to it. It's got a funky beat that serves it well. Better than you think if you listen to it a few times.

Wow. This remix floored me, personally. The song feels very, very... urban, for the lack of a better word. Not quite ghetto, but definately modern. Strong feelings and visions of a modern-day ActRaiser are evoked. Cuz I mean, how cool would an ActRaiser game in a modern setting be? Grittier than SimCity, but nobler than Grand Theft Auto 3....

Yeah, DJ Pretzel, you have me dreaming.

Lord PROTEKTOR is VERY catchy! I've had it stuck in my head many many times, and I even find myself humming it walking to and from school. One of my favorite DJP works and my favorite Actraiser ReMix :D Strongly recommended.

During my lunch period every day, this song can be heard comming from my schools music hallway. My 3 friends and I (drums, bass, guitar, and keyboard) play this song and many other remixes and such every day and this one tops the list. The things that we've done with it are crazy though, speeding it up, slowing it down, different keys, distortion, the list goes on. Definately one of my OCR favorites.

This song really rocks it to Russia. Easily my favorite OCRemix (well, maybe that Banana mix, but that's a guilty pleasure ;P). The bassline is killer, and the mix has a great juxtaposition of urban/fantasy sound. Great stuff.

I'd have to give this one a 8.5/10, I really like some of the sound work he does here, it sounds like it took a lot of effort. I also enjoy the rhythm work he does here. Download this song you're in for a treat.

I'm working on a remix of this theme myself. But is it just my imagination, or does this remix only have about 15 notes from the original melody, and the rest is improvisation? That's not a bad thing, but it just struck me as being not much of a remix and more of a complete and total rearrangement.

But anyway, yeah, this does have an urban feel to it. It could have used more of the original melody, since the 'new' stuff can be annoying at times (like the scratching and the 'yelling' for lack of a better word). Overall, again, it doesn't seem like that much of a remix, and for that reason it's hard to review.

Definitely an urban tune, with lots of scratching and a little random shouting. I've never heard the original, so I can't comment on how much of it shows up, but it's generally a basic beat/bass/lead song that, if you like the fairly harsh feeling, you won't mind listening to.
