Pretty cover! It starts very similar to the original and slowly deviates from it, although it's always fairly conservative. Well done! Just curious, what VST did you use for the flute?

Very cinematic cover, love the sound design and mood. Well done!

Was literally swaying in my chair to the rhythm while listening. Big and epic, yet tender and emotional. Gorgeous work here!

What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix.

I never played the Street Fighter 2 with Fei Long in it growing up. I just had SF2 Turbo on SNES and Genesis and thought that was it... Well anyway, if I could go back in time I'd play the version with Bruce Lee Fei Long, because he fits so well in the universe, and if this tune is any to go by, is a certified banger. I love eastern influence mixed with that buttery smooth jazz. I could even imagine a deep soul jazz vocals slotted into this track, very great stuff.

Count me in ! Either team.

Suffering from rapid head nodding after this track. Very fun and makes me want to devour an entire bag of sourpatch kids. 😎

Maynard Keenan is that you?? Hehe I love the style and vocals reminiscent of certain musical groups I've listened to. Very interesting spin, and with the kind of angst Cloud goes through in FF7, this blends right in and I dig it. I can't speak to the RE part since I've never played one, but fantastic collab!

I'm game, if you would permit me. ♥ I still have the file I was working on. x'D

Congratulations on your successful resubmission! I've never played the classic GB Final Fantasy, but I can "feel" the classic sound at the beginning of the track, and it seems to evolve and morph into something more interesting as the track completes. Feels a bit like a story without words the way the song progresses, very lovely.

I'm taking everything you've said and using it to completely redo the project from scratch with my Roland SC-88 VL. I've been watching a lot of content on velocity and dynamics to make my programming sound more natural and less robotic. On top of that, I've been diving into videos on how to build fuller, less harsh-sounding string and horn sections, and learning how to use EQ and reverb to bring out more dynamic, polished results.

The melody is such a great one I feel like just a bit of experimentation with instruments and effects is enough to get a happy smile from me. This is one of those tracks I tend to like less the more it strays from the melody. Feels like a great remix of a classic, thanks for keeping the megaman tradition alive!

This may be the time to re-tool Back in Cold Blood 😎

Thank you! I've always liked the older stuff, both on the site, and other musical types. I'll take baroque and classical over romantic and especially contemporary any time. 80s music beats following decades all day;)

What? But also, wut? And whut?

I think its time to bring back defend deny depose the luigi's mansion remix

Sauvemente!? . . .Ay, mi los dios, suavemente. ♡ I'm sure I can come up with *something* for it. :P If you need help with anything else, just say.

YOU HAVE UUUUUUNOOOOO I mean hell yeah I’ll sub one for this

hello world 🤖 in these uncertain times, i think we need a little levity to get us through our day to day. we're all seriously serious about studying our craft within the context of VGM music; why not get a little silly with it? that's right baby, we're doing an unofficial OCR album for April Fools Day!! Questions: Q: Why "FishMas?" Certain Francophone cultures, as well as Italy, Belgium and The Netherlands call April Fool's Day "April Fish." It's less of a mouthful than "An OverClocked April Fools Day." Q: What can I FishMix? A: Unlike our other seasonal contemporaries (AOCC, AOCH) you are only limited to VGM music for this album. as much as I would love to hear some more Gangnam Style electric kazoo 9-bit remixes, I gotta draw the line somewhere to keep it somewhat within the OCR umbrella. FishMixes of other ReMixes are very welcome! Please submit your covers of a cover of a cover of a cover of "Hotel Dusk!" Q: What can/can't I put in my FishMix? Cooking up a FishMix, however silly, still requires some care. - Please keep FishMixes between thirty seconds and ten minutes. Multiple entries are allowed but are limited to 4 per arranger. You're welcome to collab on as many as you like, though! - No hate speech/slurs targeted at particular groups or other individuals. It's poor form to punch down in comedy. - There's nothing funnier than 34518s, paulstretched PINGAS or some sensual liccing, but please no explicit depictions of sexual content or heavy violence. (Gunshots as percussion or an occasional sexy moan is fine and will certainly get a chuckle out of me.) Other than that, anything goes! Keep in mind that this is an Unofficial OCR album. You are not beholden to their (impossibly high) standards, but if you're interested in submitting your FishMix to OCR please consult with their Submission Standards and Instructions page. Q: Can I submit previously written material? Absolutely, as long as it hasn't appeared on a previous FishMas album in its current state! We welcome all DoD Alts, Oops All Shitposts entries, PRC/MnP/etc. compo entries, and auditory shitposts you torture your loved ones with as long as you're the one who wrote it. Q: Can I submit entries made with GenAI song generators like Suno? No, but you're welcome to make your own AI-pril 1st album somewhere else. Q: What format should my submission be in? WAV, 16 or 24bit, 44.1kHz or 48kHz, peak -6dB pre-master. Please no limiters on the master bus to achieve this. Any deviation from this may result in your track not sounding how you'd like on release. Q: How do I submit? you can send your WAV file (or a link to the file) via email to a1@coloradoweeks.io or to @coloradoweeks through Discord. Please include info in the email body about your title, your artist name, and any other collaborators. Please keep your file names descriptive, it makes wrangling all of this much easier. Q: What's the Deadline? Deadline is March 22nd, 2026 at 11:59 EST. Q: I want to participate, but nothing's biting. Can I get some inspiration? Sure you can!

I wish I didn't have to concur, but I do. This is a dynamite arrangement and superduper fun idea. But the samples are not even close to good enough or working here, the fast runs on strings and brass in particular sound so unnatural. I love the idea of mixing the orchestral with electro, but the electro samples are sounding super dated as proph mentioned. The drum kit sounds not only dated but weak and unfitting as well. I also hear zero sidechaining... that's not a dealbreaker, but sidechaining at least the bass and a few low-mid and electro elements would add so much groove to the piece and also let the kick be heard. I'm not sold on the glitching, as with the samples I love the idea but not the execution. To me, this glitching sounds more like rendering errors than something purposeful. I don't know what technique you used for it, or what plugin, but this one just doesn't work for me. Each time it kicks in I think something is wrong with the render or my Cubase. So yeah, I concur with proph and Wake, awesome concept and very strong arrangement and good instrument choices, but all of it just sounds way too weak and dated sample-wise for prime time in 2025. NO

Yo, Master Mi, these remixes are 🔥! Mystwalker's take on the Battle themes really brings a fresh energy to the classics. The Triumph Remix, in particular, is a standout those electric guitar riffs after 1:33 hit hard. I appreciate you sharing these gems. It's always exciting to discover new interpretations of retro tracks. Looking forward to more from Mystwalker and the community!

It feels extremely odd to me to be judging a Gario track but here we go! We begin very similar to the source with some orchestral samples that definitely show their age, remind me of the sound of the Final Fantasy Tactics or zircon's games. At 0:38 we get some glitches and I thought my PC was malfunctioning for a bit but it all made sense a few seconds later! What a fun way to do that transition from orchestra music to, basically, the genre named Gario. Now we have the orchestral instruments playing on top of a fun electronic/chippy backing. I feel the melodies have a bit of a hard time standing out sadly, mainly since the orchestral samples are a tad wet. At 1:31 a synth lead takes the lead and the music takes more shape immediately. Being nitpicky, the lead sample is a bit static, I'd love to hear some vibratto or something of the sort. I do love how the strings on the background are treated here, with the glitch effects and such, it sounds great. Somewhat abrupt transition to chiptune at 1:55 but at 2:00 we're back on the orchestra/Gario mix, here the brass sounds more clear. At 2:25 there's a quick break and we then continue on a slightly more chill vibe before a full orchestral break at 2:49. I like the upbeat timpani rhytm and the soft electronic elements present on this section. At 3:38 we transition back into the orchestra/Gario soundscape, fun transition and this whole section sounds great. There's a string ensemble "solo" at 4:13, interesting idea. After that there's a couple more upbeat sections with trumpet as lead and we close with a quick chiptune to orchestra moment. Arrangement is a ton of fun! I love the idea behind the soundscape, although you claim the synth+orchestra concept isn't as novel as it was back then it's definitely not something I hear frequently in the cover space and much less in your particular brand of sound. Structure of the arrangement is great, with a large amount of variations and breaks to keep it interesting. I'm fairly sure the arrangement could be trimmed down to be shorter but there's no section that jumps at me like something to be cut completely. Source usage is evident and present in basically the entire track, every melody is directly from the source. No doubts about eligibility. Production is where I'm torn. On one hand, the classic Gario electronic elements sound great, percussion is punchy and the trademark glitchy chiptunes and synths sound excellent, although I found the chiptune solos sounded a little dull. The main issue is, as you'd expect, the orchestral samples. They're definitely quite retro sounding, my main issue with them is they lack definition, sounding very airy and wet, which is a big contrast with the electronic sounds. In sections like the combination at 1:01 you can feel the struggle of the brass trying to stand out on top of the other instruments, and it becomes worse with other samples like the flute that comes later. Overall, I'm feeling very torn here. Despite the retro sound of the ensemble I like how it sounds (since it gives me PS1/PS2 vibes) but I understand if any judge rejects just on that. My main issue, however, is that the lack of definition on the samples makes the orchestral samples hard to hear on top of the electronic ones. I'm not 100% on my vote because there's definitely a lot to love here but I feel this would benefit a ton from layering some samples with more clarity on top of the current stuff or simply replacing the orchestral samples with more modern ones. NO
