River City Ransom

Oh my, my, my . . . Mazedude drops an industrial bombtrack on us all with this heavy-hitting River City Ransom ReMix of power. This is just some formidable shit - ain't no other way of sayin' it. I'm impressed - it's above the level of even the high mark Mazedude sets for himself, at least in terms of raw energy and sonic muscle. Fans of Rammstein (i.e. "Du Hast" and what not), your mix has arrived. Fans of River City Ransom, don't wait another second. In fact, fans of music in general - this piece comes highly recommended. It's got a sound comparable to both Rammstein and KMFDM, mixing heavy guitars, shred-style programming, ear-bleeding beats, and just an overall weight and presence that dictates attention and respect. Guitars, numerous synths, a great wah-wah lead, panned+filtered synths - this piece would serve as a great textbook example of techno-industrial done well. Saying much more would be pointless - Mazedude sets a high benchmark with this impressive RCR action, and has created a ReMix that I have to guess many were waiting for in terms of genre and execution. All time greats material? You bet. Highly, highly recommended.

On a scale of one to amazing, this mix is a killer. Never played the game but I do like Rammstein. Till Lindemann would be proud of this mix. My only beef with this track is that it probably could have been a little louder/heavier. Maybe I'm just saying that because my ears are plugged from the flu. Either way, good work Mazedude

Awesome. Shame I've never played the game though. :sad:
Guitars are nice 'n gritty, just the ways I likes them. :razz:

This one is just so cool.

I haven't really heard anything by Rammstein save for 'Du Hast', which I gotta say sounded absolutely nothing like this mix. Certainly, Rammstein's reputation isn't for Mazedude-ish synth style rocking. Which is a shame, because the world can never get enough.
A very well produced hardcore track here. Has that new Mazedude smell to it, which all good Mazedude mixes (and all those mythical bad ones) possess. And I say 'new', but in truth, I was pretty surprised by how old this actually is. It's not like the samples are amazing; I think it has more to do with the fact that Mazedude has stayed consistant throughout his OCR career and never got stuck on doing the one genre/sound. Therefore, I had trouble pinpointing when this mix was actually concieved, which is nice because it means longevity.
*sigh* And since I've literally been typing all day, I think that's about all I have to say on the matter. Great mix, great game, great mixer. I'm out.

I'm only a little familiar with Rammstein through what I've heard in German class, but still this is excellent, awesome, and everything else. Great job. :nicework:

This receives my rating of "TB," which either stands for "Total Badass" or "Tuberculosis," I'm not sure. It's definitely good, though.

In all honesty, there's about only one sound that's obviously Rammstein-evident. KMFDM comparisons really don't seem to ring true either. It's a very nice mix, but it's certainly been a bit mislabeled. This definitely screams OC Remix by Mazedude.

Another great one from Mazedude! It just keeps going only getting more intense! Definatly hyper and loud but in a good way, however Mazedude doesn't do his all-famous, tempo change technique in this one, well that's not a bad thing. Anyways, nice job on this one Mazedude!

My God, words fail me.
I'm one of the few guys lucky enough to have stumbled across RCR in my childhood, and that was my absolute favorite beat 'em up game ever. Double Dragon had nothin' on RCR.
And this remix? Well, honestly, amazingly enough, I can't find a single flaw in it. It lacks nothing, not even some small, tiny aspect that would normally make me say "great remix, but if only..."
This is an epic work of art.

"Hold it! Rocko says punks can't pass!"
This is my favorite remix ever. I'm too young to remember the NES days, so with the power of emulation I've been able to play this masterpeice of a game. The boss music is my favorite, second only to the River City High music when you're near/in the building.
5,000/10

Whoa...whoa, dude.

- Red Light District on November 12, 2004
Man, I love short little sytnh solos. Just the whole song is really amazing. I'm usually not one for 'hard rock' or what have you, but this song blows my mind!

- Phil1450 on November 8, 2004
This mix rockxx!@! AT :46, It feels like the guitar/synth wants to talk, but it cant seem to get it out!
Great Rock-Techno feel that will stay on my playlist. Very inspirational to me, as I am currently working my own RCR remix. great work. dude. maze. mazedude.

- DJ Riott on August 30, 2004
There seems to be volume problems with this. The first half is quieter. Then it really picks up and makes me really like it. Maybe it has to do with the ranges of the song not always being full, but what do I know about ranges?
