So, what exactly would have happened if Diana Ross had decided to remake the music from the first stage of SEGA's spectacular Space Harrier? This might be something like the result, although it lacks vocals :) I was a big fan of da harrier, and wish he would find himself a dreamcast incarnation, but until then, dance to the groovy harrier beat. Dedicated to Zoop's SMS emu, MEKA.
Discussion: Latest 12 comments/reviews; view the The high and low frequencies feel pretty empty, which is
unfortunate because the synths could definitely benefit from a bit
of a boost.
The soloing at the end was badass! :-D For such an early remix, this is pretty good, actually!

So I guess I have similar comments as to what I mentioned for the
Rolling Thunder mix, but samples could use some upgrading, and here
I *think* it's the midrange that's kinda lacking? Arrangement is
interesting though. I probably would've found a bunch of enjoyment
if I heard it back then.

This one sounds like it's crunched to the middle. It sounds
practically mono, and frequency-wise it also seems sort of
muffled.. But happily, it has a lot of groove and a good solo
towards the end. The soloing was nice to hear after listening to a
couple of more conservative takes on this theme.

Groovy, Catchy, Funky, Nice, D. All of the above.
I especially like the intro.
It's fun, interesting, and one of those songs you'd think you'd get stuck in your head but don't.
A very nice track.

^Awful joke, really.
Don't know the source, so this is just coming at me disco-style. Whether or not that's a good thing, I'm not sure :)
Catchy tune, something to tap your foot too. Nothing really sticks out as being awesome, but for the age of this, I would have digged it when it originally came out.

remix number 9? More like OLDverclocked remix. ;-D ;-D
Actually for being of such a vintage, this remix has some sweet stuff going for it. The solos are very very good, and the space harrier theme itself is great. I wouldn't really classify this as anything even close to disco, but the synth sounds do have a nice 70's retro feel to them.
Pretty nice stuff.

Out of all the Space Harrier mixes I couldn't really find one that
stuck out but I'ld have to say DJP's is the best one. Space Harrier
has one of the best theme's, it's a shame the remixes aren't
good.
It's great when djp layers the synths in this song and there are some great solos. One cool parts at 1:23 and then there's that crazy solo somewhere near the middle. My favourite part is near the end at 3:10 where that new synth is added
Overall this isn't a bad song. I'm still looking for that extremely kick ass Space Harrier mix

This is a pretty funky collection of synths. All the instruments
are cool sounding electronic synths, and have a sort of wobbly
sound to them. The tune itself is pretty good, giving a feeling of
flying quickly over a blurring landscape. And the synths sound
cool.
The track starts with some cool chords, opening into the main melody at 00:10. At 00:28, another instrument is mixed in, and funks it up. At 00:40 the track really begins to soar,, the effect increased by the truly wobbly instrument introduced eight seconds later.
At 1:08, the main melody changes, with more of an emphasis on the aforementioned wobbly instrument (Don't ask me what it is, I'm terrable at picking instruments.) at 1:48, we get a focus on the cool Bass work, opening into a funky piece of techno at 2:00, and getitng cool fifteen seconds later, mixing it up with some fast work.
The main melody begins again at 2:42, following with what could be considered the kind of chorus. At 3:25, the sound fades to end.
Overall, its a decent and funky track. I havn't heard the original, but suspect fans of the original would probably like it. However, with the great range of mixes at OC, this kind of ends up being slighly forgettable.

I know this mix was posted awhile ago, but man, i've got it
now!
it's hilarious, very cool and true to the original tune. Space Harrier music really helped in making you feel like yer flying around with a jetpack at mach5! DJp, i don't know how you always vary your mixes so much, but keep up the great work! Such variety in your tunes. The P.Star2 mix was cool too, one of the few tunes that i can't get bored of.
BTW, have you tried the 32X version of Space Harrier, i have it, and it's probably exact to the arcade, and the music is awesome and crystal clear! give it a looksie.

Space Harrier 'Disco'
DJP is insane. This is the tune that got me interested in videogame music back in the day when I first got my Sega Master System. And now it's DISCO?????? Actually it's not that bad. If you are familiar with Space Harrier then this is probably an automatic download. Sounds like it is full of MP3 artifacts in the high frequencies, but I'm not sure if that's something DJP did when he made the song (high ends sounds wishy-washy and slurry). It varies up a bit in the middle, and that's pretty cool.
