Oh Momma . . . guitarheads, Megafreaks, and fans of good tunage alike rejoice - this new Mega Man X ReMix from the team that brought you the Castlevania 'Wickedest Child' ReMix came here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and it's all out of bubblegum. Introing with ambient wind and the sound of an eagle cry, things don't stay peaceful for too long, as rock drums, synth, and heavy & ace guitar comes in and sets the stage for a beautiful mix of synthage and guitar rock, including some blistering solos, from the force that is Chikusho Sound Team. They wanted to improve the sound quality more on this piece, but I'm pretty dern happy - in fact, that's an understatement: much like their first ReMix, this is an instant classic, kickin some butt, with rises and falls and guitar riffage that's pure elysium. There's even a slow refrain to end things off, with a chorused but tame (i.e. not distorted) electric that's quite beautiful. These guys work together fantastically - hope you agree & enjoy da mix. Highly Recommended.

While I wouldn't want to choose between this and Powerglove's, this is still crazy good :-D
I really like the screaming eagle that punctuates the mix; it's feels just so appropriate.

fave part is 2:41-2:47
2:47 reminds me of 'baker street'
really soulful.

The source material here is fantastic, but this remix definitely
does it justice and goes way beyond. Great guitar work and
interpretation throughout, but especially around 2:19 - 2:31 -- I
can listen to that part over and over again per listen and do. It's
more than just shredding; it's shredding within the lines - very
carefully crafted and easy to listen to. This kind of track lends
itself to getting carried away with freestyle guitar, but these
dudes never try to go overboard, and the backing instrumentals are
perfectly complementary -- solid all around. The ending is a little
anticlimactic and it's kinda long, so I usually just skip it, but
otherwise this mix is pretty much flawless. It sucks that a mix
like this might go relatively unnoticed because the game is more
obscure than CT or FF and less known for its music. Regardless,
this is definitely one of the most badass remixes on the site.

Hmm... this is certainly a bit of a different take on the Storm
Eagle stage theme... it's slower... more relaxed... and much less
intense than the original.
The remix itself is very well done and all put together nicely. It's enjoyable to listen to and there's nothing that's delayed, off-key, etc.
I've had this remix for quite some time... it was one of the first remixes I downloaded from OC. The only real problem I've had with it for awhile though is that I just do not like the ending... it contrasts just a bit too much to the rest of the song for me. The song would've been better if the ending section was chopped off entirely, for me at least.
Either way... this remix is still recommended to me to most people out there, since it's calmer than most songs that are considered rock, so even those that don't like rock may enjoy this mix.

Yeah, I probably should have done that myself, but in the rush to figure out how to tell the original artists, I failed to remember. :) It seems a lot of people on that site don't exactly read the TOS. At all. <3
EDIT: Whoops, I imagine disabling BBCode also affects quotes.
No worries. We don't need to contact Chikusho Sound Team in order to handle this properly anyway. If you'd like you file your own report on it, that's definitely appreciated. No matter what you do, I'll be following up on the situation myself as well. Thanks again; good looking out!

You can always bump review threads for older ReMixes. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. The kid's only other submission to Fur Affinity is an MP3 of the Sephiroth theme. I'll be reporting the plagarism of this ReMix to the proper people at that site in order to have the kid's account dealt with.

I, too, thought it was kinda rushed and muddy at some points. Its a
great mix, but I for some reason don't like the lead synth on it.
Just me?
>_>
<_<
Yeah, its must be just me.
And, the solo was kick-ass to me. ^_^

Wow, simply just wow.8O It was a nice beginning to start off with
some high winds and the cry of an eagle. The walkover to the real
deal may've been too abrupt, but at least they go straight to the
point. I can see why Team Chikusho gets so much respect, they
deserves it!
Excellent guitars to open up with, accompanied with an a nice organ synth and awesome drums. The electric solo that then followed didn't have the same quality though, the guitar didn't sound too good. It was...what's the word?
Yeah, that's it. It did pick up again with the same energy afterwards, so it was only the solo I had issues with. Everything else was excellent played. Does anyone happen to have a lighter?

Well well well. What have we here? A guitar-haven mix from the
Chikusho Sound Team? Many people will think that they're in for
quite a ride, and you are correct. This mix takes us back to the
ol' days of MMX and revolves around it. A hard piece with non-stop
action, except for the last bit. It was a surprise to me when I
found that the last thirty seconds or so was very mellow for such a
mix. Ok in a way, but somehow didn't fully catch my attention in a
MMX perspective.

hmmm. i don't know about everybody else but i don't think there is
a tuning promblem and if there is it doesn't take away from the
enjoyment of the mix in my opinion. this is pure awesomeness i
definatly must recomend this one

Never heard the original...and now I regret that fact, 'cause this
is great. There are two special spaces on any music CD I create for
myself - the first, for something that'll get me motivated to walk
(I walk to public transport - takes a good 15 minutes so need
something good to get me going) and the last, for my personal
favourite. This track goes first. Everytime.
EDIT: Just heard the original - wtf are most of you on about saying it sounds out of tune?

This song is awesome. I don't even like heavy guitar, and I love
this song. I don't know what people are talking about saying it is
out of tune. No no, out of tune sounds baaad. This sounds good. The
mega man series offers up some excellent remixing opurtunities, and
it's good to see people taking advantage of this. Still, rarely
does someone take it to new places like the creators of AIRBASED
have. There's beautiful harmonies in here (which is what I think
some people may be calling out of tune, harmonies can be tough to
determine), the guitar riffs are excellent, the eagle cry fits, and
the ending, the switch to a new chord and riff, is wonderful. If
anyone has the ending theme to LAIN, try playing it as soon as this
one is over, they meld right into eachother.
