Vying for the title of 'most kickass megaman ReMixes' with AE is the gifted DiscoDan, who with this superlative Snakeman techno / dance track uses a variety of sounds, a tight groove, solid processing and mixing, and a 100% perfect ending that goes into ambient territory and really wraps things up nicely. A very hip disco-style moving bassline, synth dueling with what sounds a little like a koto, hyper bubbling backing patterns, and a very cool chromatic slide on the main melody at a couple points. Infectious and fun.
Discussion: Latest 15 comments/reviews; view the OCR classic material. If there was ever a 'remix retrospective' for
the OCR 10 year anniversary, this or DD's bubbleman mix would be
required on the list.
Great builds, clean production, pretty good samples that are well used, and well-chosen source music = something that lasts the test of time. Even the breakdown section with the 4 on the floor works because of the catchy bassline.
Great stuff.

There are a lot of things going for this mix. Love the intro and
the introduction of different parts. Loved the countermelodies done
in square lead patch. Percussion track and bass aren't bad
either... I DO hoped for a better patch for the main melody though.
Thought the ones used (Synth Sitar and some wind instrument I
believe?) were kind of weak for the lead melody.
Other than that, loved it.

I've yet to come across a song by Disco Dan that doesn't use the
"additive and subtractive" methods of intro and ending in his
songs. The additive also tends to be a lot more dragged out than
the subtractive in his works most of the time. This remix is no
exception, as it starts out with a simple beat, and slowly works
its way into the full melody.
Snake Man's theme has always been one of the stranger ones out there from all the Mega Man games, but it's still catchy and enjoyable just like all the rest. Disco Dan gives this one a good do-over that keeps enough of the original feel that it could work in place of the original song.
This is one of those songs I've had for ages on this site and it has still survived the amount of songs I had to cut off my playlist (because my MP3 player only has 512MB which turned out to be about 512MB short of what I need. XD).
This is really a typical Disco Dan remix. It's a techno Mega Man remix with the additive intro and subtractive ending, coupled with a more subtle techno dance groove.
Personally I recommend that this is worth a listen to everyone. If you like it, that's good, if you don't like it, that's fine too. It's all a matter of personal taste.

I have to say, I really hated the sitar-like melody instrument at
first, but the whole remix grew on me after a few listens and now
it's one of my favorite pieces on the site. Great job.

This is a great facelift for snakeman. DD has kept that oriental
feel and added some real nice beats and some real beautiful piano.
Loved the finish, it was smooth and cool when the beats faded away
one by one until only piano was left. I like that very much, ya?

Disco Dan's music rocks. This song is no exception. It's not my
favorite by him, but it's still a great piece.

Yes. A good Remix.
Good News
Fine chemical inside this one. Creativity. Good sense on changing. The guy really knows how to use the effects wisely. The rythm and the beating got the atmosphere of the action game. Good job man! You surely made happy a lot of megaman 3 fans, also you! Hehehe! :D
Bad News
I liked the mix. No bad news! :wink:

I'm not normally a fan of techno-ish remixes, but the main tune
being done with a sitar just makes one rock. It's powerful in the
right places, subtle in the right places, and just fits together
really well.
The Snake Man theme from MM3 is one of the simpler tunes from the game. I'm amazed that Disco Dan has made a six minute song out of it that doesn't drag on. Very well done, 8/10. I'd give it a higher score, but it's not a jaw-dropper like several remixes on this site *cough-eutopia-pegasi-cough*

The best Snakeman remix to date. Style and variety on top of
quality. I really dig the solo. Style style, download this.

This is one of the best remixes I ever heard. I made a top 5 list
from remixes I have listen (more than 200 remixes from Megaman) and
this song mades it to the 4th place. It's starting very good and
continues very good too. I hope Disco Dan wants to make a lot of
remixes from Megaman because I think he's the best remixer who's
here at www.ocremix.org. He got a lot of more songs which are
very good too (I also located songs in different sites), but this
is the best one from him.

Someone else pointed this out not too long ago, actually, about the
"on tour" midi on vgmusic.com. Now I knew that I hadn't copied my
rendition from anyone else, so I had to see this other version. I
downloaded the file, checked the submit date and the create date as
listed. It's about a year later than my original midi. I'd be upset
except that they say imitation is the sincerest form of
flattery.

Y'know vgmusic has a On Tour remix of SnakeMan's theme and it
sounds very similiar to this remix. I don't know if said MIDI is
the same thing used for this but if it is, Disco Dan just went and
took my favorite Megaman 3 MIDI and made it even better.
Regardless, it gets 9.5/10.

This, and MetalMan Goes Clubbing, are among my top 10 most
listened-to songs.
I love the ridiculous simplicity of this song, while simultaneously realizing that this is more than just a run-of-the-mill dance track.
Disco Dan has my respect. Thanks for a track I can listen to over and over.

Wow, all i can see is that Disco Dan is a genious. This, along with
all of his other great Megaman remixes, deserves a medal.
beautiful...

This song is awesome! :D It is one of the very first mixes I picked
up when I first came to OCR about two years ago. It's essentially a
trance mix, but it captures every bit of spirit that made the
original so great and just flows with it. I don't really know what
else to say except that this mix is a classic, and it's WELL worth
your attention. Highly reccomended.
