OverClocked ReMix...

Metal Gear 'Uh Oh! The Beat Have Started to Move!

Absolutely stunning, is this piece of music, and I must say that my favorite part of this mix is the fact that its long enough to thoroughly enjoy. Of course it does help that its absolutely awsome, I mean, you wouldn't want to be listening to 5 minutes of torture now, would you? The only three things I can see that might be true flaws is that I hear some clipping at around 3:50 - 4:15, the low notes of the giutar tune that starts at 0:50 sounds like it's a little off, and at 1:54 an instrument counters the giutar stabs that I think could be a tad louder. It sounds a little weird having this loud giutar countered by one very quite instrument. About those qiutar tunes, though, I'm no musician and I'm not here to claim that it's completely wrong. Anyways, as I said when I started writing this, it is absloutly stunning even considering its possible faults, well worth the trip. Great work Khalal, and Nintendo Guru.

i like it =)
on the contrary to what ginnsu says about 1:54, i think its a nice dynamic change. gives a nice feel, enjoyable, maybe a little surprising if u didnt expect it. i love all the 'feel' changes, changing tempo many times.
i havent heard the original song but it sounds nicely done. good work!

8.8/10

The title itself just cracks me up.

I'm waiting for the sequel, "I Feel Asleep."

Never really did play much of the first Metal Gear, but nevertheless, this remix is well done. Some very interesting things going on in this mix. Hope to hear more in the future! :)

Woo, glad to see something from the original Metal Gear. It was one of my favorite games, and one that I had always wanted to do a mix of.

Anyways, I love the title. You can't go wrong with making fun of poorly translated dialogue.

And while I love this game, somehow I found this mix to drag on a bit. Probably because there wasn't a lot that strung the medley together other than it was all music from the same game. And the password music should've been first really. Separated, I would've chosen the outside music to be on its own with perhaps something else added.

But altogether I still liked this mix a lot. Good panning, some interesting instrument choices.

Great title to a great song of a great game. The song sounds very professional, especially the drum-beat-build-up at 1'20''. I like the flow of that. Hearing the song also made me want to go play the game at Norbert's Online NES Emulator site. It took me a while to get the title, though, as I kept dying before I ever reached the trucks. Very interesting mix, highly recommended.

Somebody was grousing about the "beeping" at the beginning of the song
and I just finally realized what they were talking about - the transceiver!!
Personally I think including it was a nice touch, a way of putting you right
in the nostalgic mood you should be when remembering old Metal Gear. I
also read someone's complaint in chat that "it sounds like NSF." That's in
fact what's so great about this remix - it really DOES sound like it belongs
in a Nintendo or Super Nintendo game. My verdict? Two thumbs up for
"Uh oh - the beat have started to move!" And I +LOVE+ the engrish! ;)

I didn't recognize anything other than the first theme (can't get past the first truck... grr.) Auuuuugggghhhh--I like it, I love it, I want some more of it!

Yeah, it's hard not to make fun of the engrish. Anyhow, this mix kicks ass. There's some great stuff going on, and the transciever noises at the begining are quite nostalgic. This mix kept me interested for the full length of it, which is outstading, considering the mix is 5+ minutes long. Download it now, if you haven't already.

This is definitely one of the highest-quality remixes at OC. A lot of effort was obviously put into it. Every digital effect seems hand-picked. It's that rare programmed song that emulates the expression of a live performance (in style, not sound). The main theme really shines at :50. Then, at 1:23, a particular melody line is repeated with an electric guitar rhythm pattern in the background. It's those subtle touches that make this easy to listen to. My biggest compliment is the deference to the melody. Too many remixes go overboard with 1/16 techno effects and forget that they're trying to remix MUSIC. This one stays faithful to the catchy Nintendo melodies, but really modernizes them in sound and expression. That's pretty much the OC Remix mission I guess, so fans should definitely download this one.
