OverClocked ReMix...

Mega Man 6 'Master of Flame'

Having never played Mega Man 6 (shoot me, I'm not the biggest Mega Man Fan.) Overall, this is pretty darn happy ReMix. It's definitely groovy. Though, sonically, it doesn't meet my standards. It could definitely use some panning. You won't believe how much panning helps increase the enjoyability of a ReMix (atleast for me). Regardless, it's still enjoyable to listen to. There are a few instances of clipping. The mastering could have been excuted a little better. Try limiters, or maybe a compressor. Limiters tend to be more effective for less energetic music, but they're good overall. Compressors are typically good for really energetic music. If you don't have access to any of the above, work on avoiding clipping just by simply adjusting volume levels. Though, it may not always be the best solution. Depends on what your going for.

I'm really keen on this mix. At first, I wasn't thrilled with it, but I gave it a few plays before hitting the delete button on it.

Thankfully, it's staying on my hard drive.

This is definately a very different type of techno. It's kinda happy, kinda groovy, kinda funky. The thing that I dig the most is that voice sample. I think it kicks and is extremely well used. Never really played the Mega Man series, so I'm going to go ahead and assume it's the Blue Bomber himself, but I'd love to know what it is he's saying. If anyone can help me with that...

Overall, like I said, the more I listened to it, the more I appreciated the arrangement. It does have it's problems though. I really do feel better samples could have been used. The whole mix seems kinda... muffled. I felt these sounds should be jumping out at us. It would have brought me into the mix a lot quicker if everything sounded a little crisper.

Is there a clearer version available?

Overall, I dig it. And that voice sample is really super cool. It's funky, it's techno but it's different and it's definately worth a listen (or two or three ;) )

To be honest, Flameman's theme is my favorite MM song. I remember putting the game on pause and bobbing my head. I'm glad this song finally got ReMixed. EvilHorde's awesome.

This is the best megaman remix i've heard in a long time. I just got finished playing all of the megaman games last month, and while i was playing MM6 I thought a remix to Flame Man's stage would be cool, so check OC and there was none. Wich was like last month, then i check the site today and there's a remix to Flame Man's stage. And to top it off its and awesome remix. umm thats about all i have to say. heh

This is really good. I mean really really good. I don't really like most of the techno ReMixes I hear but this is incredible. Sorry I have nothing more intelligent to say - I'm just speechless.

Err... I find this quite bad... and I ain't no small fan of techno. Everything sounds so muffled, especially the breakbeats, which are drab and uninspired. The ones at 0:45 sound like drum-loop samples, and really clash with the rest of the mix. The lead is also lacking; it kinda sits in the background, never taking authority over the song. Flame Man's tune was my favorite from Mega Man 6, but this mix is a major disapointment.

I thought it was alright, the idea behind it was pretty good, but it wasn't brought on strong enough really. The instruments sounded too weak and 'synth-like', if you know what I mean. The voice helped a little bit, but at 3:08 after that short pause and the voice says "higha" (I think thats what he says) didn't work for me, that was really the only part with the voice I didn't like

3/5 - good, not great but with the same style but better synth it could be a 4.5/5 easily

i think the voice sample says "turn the flame higher" and indeed it is a really cool voice sample. really liked the song even though it does have a muffled sound, maybe it couldn't be helped in the recording, maybe it was on purporse. but the "music" is there regardless of condition of the music. wow thats a good phrase, someone quote me.

This is one of the best Mega Man remixes I've ever heard with an incredibly catchy chorus (nice little vocal) and I love the space at 3:08. Good stuff! 5/5

Consider yourself quoted.

And it does sound like "Turn the flame higher". Thanks. :)
