Mega Man 3

I gotta leave space for credits, but PEOPLE - this is an amazing track, full of energy and ideas and some bitchin' Mustin + Cloud sax, as well as an amusing 'Music of My Groin' reference (among others) :) The sheer amount of talent combined to make this ReMix boggles the mind - it's a wonder cables didn't fizzle, ears pop, and amps explode during the production from the sheer skillz. Bravo guys - an amazing accomplishment, artistically and technically . . . I love this. nyKad: Original Concept, Vocals, Direction.

It was seriously an OK track. I thought the intro with the guys searching for a radio station was actually quite ANNOYING. It takes away from the piece. I thought it was actually quite innovative to use a different beat and give the melody to a sax.
One thing I found kinda tacky was the stopping of the instruments during that middle bridge part. Like "who-ee! this is a wannabe latin track! ole!" Seriously kinda hammy.
An alright track but honestly left much to be desired.

loved that intro and all the spanish references. This mix kicks serious ass 360 degrees all the way around. Can't say much more just listen to it and you'll be amazed. Oh yeah FYI bitchin live performances.

The opening entertains me every time. And the OC references they make are very well done. I also like the pidgeon spanish, or at least that's what it sounds like. And then we hit the mix and I just can't stand it...
... naw, just kidding. The mix is great, with great flow, powerful sax, and good feel. An excellent mix, one of the OC classics.

This remix is clearly one of the best songs there is. Really love the beginning of the track when they are checking all the radiostations. really really well done guys. 5/5

Listen to the Spanish station? That is so lame.
...until I heard this. As for many, I´m more of a music person so the conversation in the beginning is in my opinion kind of unnecessary. But it´s a little funny, specially the thing i quoted. And for the others, the remix starts for real ar 1:06, just so you know.
I thought it was excellent. When all the voices has disappeared, all is left but a great saxophone with a full mexican band. Very nice indeed. I don´t know if they´re samples or if you guys played them yourself, but they sound so real! It has to be for real, or else give me the name of your samples. Except for the sax, there was an excellent piano that made its quick and passionate keyplay in the back. If this aint salsa, then nothing is.
Maybe i should tune in Spanish radio more often. Gracias dudes!

Yeah, man. This is awesome. The latin feel was well composed and well maintained. The 'music of my groin' reference is classic. And I dig the intro. It think remixes needn't be confined to just music, but also to place-setting. I'm very impressed by this piece. I would have added more crowd/partying noises throughout. That's about it.
Why does MegaMan go so well with latin music?

- meccaneer on November 6, 2005
Not too bad! It has a nice vibe to it, and a cool swing. It makes me feel like drinking tequila...
I think the intro is cool the first couple of times. Afterwards, it gets a little annoying, and I found myself thinking "Enough with the appetizers, let's get to the meat!" Still, a good mix, and definately worth my time to listen to.

- synthetic_realities on July 24, 2005
i really like the music! it's quite wonderful, all 3 odd minutes of it, but those first 40 some seconds, they're slightly annoying. anyway to get a version where it starts off with the spanish anouncer talking?

Hace mucho tiempo que oye un remix tan bakan como eso. Eso es megasexy.

- Geoffrey Taucer on April 6, 2005
Caliente!

- Samuru on January 29, 2005
I love latin music :D This is great!

- BobTheDog on December 11, 2004
Perfectly done Latin feel, /beautiful/ solos, very amusing Music of My Groin reference. Live music is my favorite stuff on the site and you won me over with this one, gentlemen. Although no one could reasonably fault the playing or writing, I would have like to hear a little more robust sound on the secondary instruments, to match the vibrancy of the saxes. Other than that, fabulous work!

- fisherman on December 5, 2004
This is the only mix of its kind, to take Mexican music and also have some conversing in the beginning (plus the reference to Music of My Groin). I enjoyed this mix because it is funny as well as good.[/url]

- Brim on August 4, 2004
Haha, that intro is great, funny stuff and more good old MM3 samples. Nice original take on the Needleman theme, very imaginative. It completely stays with the Spanish theme the whole way through, nice array of instruments included too, great work!

- Dr. Wily on June 13, 2004
HAHAHAHAHA this remix is so good. holy shit. wow
