Sonic the Hedgehog 2

Ooooohhhh! Our first Sonic 2 ReMix, courtesy of Jivemaster! He certainly lives up to his name, as this ReMix of the chemical plant theme is FUNKY . . . you just know it's gonna be great in the first 5 seconds, as the drum loop used is a frenetic, somewhat oldskool beat that has a lot motion, and well . . . "jive" to it. This is another GREAT first-time contribution - it always amazes me how people come out of nowhere with these excellent ReMixes - KEEP IT UP! All of you should grab this one, as it's a real treat, especially for Sonic afficionados, which I know are out there in spades ^^

Hearing the melodie in an almost inaudible bass patch is annoying as all fuck.

[b]SORRY :!: I DIDN'T KNOW :!:[/b] and when I said other remixes I didn't just mean other remixes of [b]Chemical plant[/b], I meant all other remixes of the [b]sonic[/b] games.

Yeah, way to look at the date of creation. :lol:

I think that Jivemaster's more recent mixes - you know, the stuff he's done [i]within the past six years[/i] - amply demonstrate that he's learned how to use a mixer. By all means, criticize the remix... but realize that the remix[i]er[/i] has progressed considerably since then.
That said, I'm down with Chemical Juice. It's extremely reminiscent of the original, true, but that just ramps up the all-important nostalgia factor.

I'm sorry but I just don't like this... It sounds like a midi was imported into FL Studio, using primarily 3xOSCs with default presets. Having said that, it also sounds like very little was done to consider it a 'remix.'
The bass needs to be boosted way up, I can barely hear it. I need to be able to feel it with my subwoofer. Need to rethink the hihats used, they overshadow everything but the main synth. Maybe use closed hats. And sounds like a Pilch bass preset on the bg synth. Ugh.
Two things, I believe I like in this track. One, the drums (outside of that hats). Two, it still has somewhat of a feel for the original.
Changing the end of the track doesn't make it a remix.
Sorry if I hurt your feelings, but it's my honest opinion on the matter.

Blah... I listened to this on my IPod whilst playing Chemical Plant Zone, so that my parents wouldn't yell at me to turn the sound down. I have to say, while I like the original, I think the volumes and emphasis are just a tad off in this incarnation. I can't put my finger on it, but there is one instrument that just doesn't belong in this mix.
I like the bouncy feel of the original a bit more.

nice song overall, but i have to agree i didnt like the fact that the original melody became almost subliminal

- emongev on July 22, 2006
Very nice, techno/trance, works very well with this song, a definite choice to listen to.

- FinalGamer on January 12, 2006
Not bad. Not bad at all. The looping of the drum gives a sort of 'happy' feel to it. I like it when the drums cut at 1:50 and 2:40. Unfortuneatly, the drums don't seem to vary a lot. If there were a few different loops in the mix, it may be improved. 9/10

Anytime that someone turns a "Sonic" song into a dance anthem, it's worthy of undue praise -- and this is, most definetly, worthy of undue praise!
Excellent bassline, effective use of the original melody, while still being true to the derivative source-material
[i]Very[/i] nice stuff!!
[b][i][u]HOLY SHIT IT'S MY 100TH POST! WHOOOOOA![/u][/i][/b]

I really liked the first bits of the song right up until it really got into it. Then I was a little disappointed. It's still pretty good, but my favorite parts of the original were kinda ruined. Then again I've never remixed a tune before, so I guess I can't say TOO much until I make one.

Well Skunk Face and Wintermute, of course the mix is pretty crappy - it was mix 110, and my first remix after all! If you were actually here at OCR back in the day of the old, old, old, old forums and no judges, you'd realise that basically every mix released was not exactly the most exciting piece of music material on the planet.
See it in context people 8)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there another Chemical Zone remix on this site at one time? I seem to remember it being my favorite remix on this site a while back, and I just recently went to download it again, and it wasn't there.
or maybe I'm thinking of a different remix? Any other old timers wanna help me out? I seem to remember it totally fricken rocking. Not this remix, that is. :)

- Wintermute on March 29, 2005
I'm beginning to think that people on this board don't like saying anything bad.
I really enjoyed the [i]original[/i] song. It was catchy, fun and always reminds me of doing
loop-dee-loops at a hundred miles an hour.
This mix: took a boring, predictable breakbeat and just looped it for the whole damn song.
Also: what's with this distorted bass synth instead of the wailing midi guitar? Ick, by the way.
So little care and effort went into this.
