OverClocked ReMix...

Shenmue 'Come to Bob's Pizza'

Maybe its just me, and maybe my ears are out of tune, or maybe I just don't have a clue what I'm talking about, but the electric piano sounds off to me. Every once in a while you get a low note, and it just sounds out of place or like its an off note or something. Maybe that's the genre, and if thats so, I guess this isn't for me. Otherwise, the song is stellar, the beat is most excellent, and the vocals... WOW! Thats all I can say about that. Definatly recommend that you try this one out, because chances are I don't know what I'm talking about. Excellent work Dale North.

Nice remix of the pizza place music. Shen Mue had quirky music, and that's why I loved it. Same to this remix. Well done

This is just fucking excellent. I love everything about it, especially the vocal part, even though it only it a couple of words. Never actually played this game or heard the soundtrack, but after hearing this, I might have to check it out. Great, great stuff Mr. North.

omg this tune is soo phat. reminds me of the early 90's when I was in highschool(more like CUTTING highschool at the pizzaria playing Street Fighter 2 CE). i only wish there was more! hehe. this is high caliber stuff here folks.

HAHAHAHA! the vocals are GREAT! i kept this song just for that piece right there. the rest of it is ok, but the vocals were the straws that broke the camles back and made me save this song.

The reverb is quite irratating and fatuging, but otherwise, it's another cool, fun dale remix. GJ mate

Gotta love the voice sample though :)

I really like this one, too! Maybe it is just the MP3 player I am using, but it does sound a little distorted to me (electric piano sounds), so maybe I'll try a different player (in a different OS even). But regardless, it is enjoyable. I agree that the vocals near the end make the song!

Edit: It WAS the MP3 player that was causing the distortion. iTunes in Mac OS X sucks! SoundApp works great, though.

The reverb should be decreased in volume I think, but this mix is very very relaxing, I love it. I could listen to this all day if I had the chance to. I kinda like the voices in the tune too, but it should be more repetitive, since it only appears twice near the end. Not bad though, this is still some really awesome work. And by the way, I'll be sure to check out Bob's Pizza.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Glad you liked.

But, there have been more technical comments on this mix than any other I've ever done! :)

Now for the 'reverb' bit. There's not much reverb at all- in fact its a pretty dry song effect wise. If you even put headphones on and listen to the vocals, they're pretty dry. Clean even. I think you're mistaking it for...

...the Panning Tremolo. Where the Electric Piano moves back and forth between the speakers. And I could see where that would annoy. Sorry 'bout that.

Distortion? No. Glad to hear it was your MP3 player. My studio monitors didn't reveal any distortion, so I knew something was up.

Voice 'sample'? No. Thats me on cheezy 3 part harmony.

Ginnsu. That note you were talking about is a 'pickup' note. The one inbetween chord movements. If you're not used to the style, it dosen't sound natural. But you're right, the note is off - but its intentional. Thanks for your kind words - glad you enjoyed.

RESPECT! SUCH A GOOD REMIX!!!!
I love your work, dude!
I already got the christmas remix of Nights and now this! I always loved the song in Shenmue, only got into the pizzeria because of Bob and the song! And now you made a remix!! Cool!
Unfortunately its so short....of course you would repeat it, but thats better than letting my winamp repeat it :)

could you make a second and third remix? perhaps with the original voices too? I love the english sound but the originals are the originals.. you understand :)
I'd love to hear more of that sound - more chilling and more poppy...I mean, I love the chill-out version, but Id also like to hear a pop-remix thats like the original, but enhanced..
would that be possible?
or more shenmue remixes?
ppppppppppppppplllllllllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeaa aaaaaaaaaaaaasssssseeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!
