It is fixed now. Hope people enjoy it, and another big thank you to both GSM1 teams who were a part of its original creation and compositional/mixing growth. ♡

Interesting idea, and as a sketch you have a lot of cool ideas here (although the marching snares a minute in need some groove tweaking to sound a lot less stiff). The staccato bass towards the end fits especially well.

Quite lovely I thought! I love this scruffy kind of chippy style. It sounds slightly broken and melancholic, but pretty!

Hehe, the detuning is pretty intense. I'm pretty close to falling offboard with it! But I didn't. I'm pretty delighted to hear an OCReMix in this style, and I also think it rearranges the source tune in a very interesting way.

This was simple, lovely and awesome! That bass was super clean and this was a treat to listen to! :)

Grandfathered in, since this would be a Standards violation for how it leans on the samples vocals as the source tune connection. I wish the beats evolved more, because you gets the untz untz (not “units units”, you dumb phone, don’t autocorrect me!), and not much more. I’d have not had the beats sound out over the top of the vocals so much, but it’s a style. :-)

Good expansiveness per mp’s usual. I’d argue the intro sounded the best, then the rest sounded dated, yet it’s a creative in terms of the arrangement. The autopilot drums for the closing section were disappointing, but for its time this track does stand apart from the original well, and even in comparison to the rest of the Radical Dreamers flood set.

Sweeping, powerful and epic! This was a fantastic remix and really brings a strong set of emotions to the table emotionally, and I've never even played OoT!

I really like the vibe and groove of this remix, it's super cool. I was definitely boppin my head along. Great job on this!

There are some very cool lead synths going on in this remix, they are the highlight of this remix for me. This remix reminds me of the Gunstar Heroes soundtrack in a way. Excellent stuff!

This remix definitely bursts with positive energy! Those drums are goin to town and this fits a racing game remix perfectly. Excellent job on this remix!

The potential was there to further develop in some different directions, but the genre interpretation was fun. Beats were meaty, the production was spacious for its time, it’s a good rendition. Loved the sampled NES music intro; sounded extra ominous and VRC6-like!

Around 50 seconds in, when those vocals came in along with that heavy hitting percussion, things definitely got kicked up a big notch! The ebb and flow this remix has is quite spectacular. This was very well done, bravo!

For the early days, this is pretty solid. Though much of the instrumentation is rigid and dated, the arrangement has a ton of character, and the lead piano (not the left-hand part) and the organ in particular sounded strong. Very creative approach by mp!

E for effort, as Saunders himself admits. Feels MIDI rip level with no depth to the sounds, and no meaningful transition between the two songs. A product of its time, the good ol’ days. :-)

Hefty beats here that fill up the soundscape well. The saw lead’s too abrasive for me personally, but I’ll live. Cool to sample the “GO!” vox from the original. Some patience/restraint shown by not getting to the melody until later on, which helped this take stand apart. Didn’t realize how overlooked this Sonic 3 theme was; it was a great stage theme from a fun zone. :-) No stress playing that level back in the day!

Good changing of the textures over time. The saw was the weak point, since it was very vanilla. Enjoyed the breakbeat loop thrown in there in the second half, which I’ve heard in other tracks. The dropoff at 4:35 was well done, with good bass writing followed by getting subtractive with the textures. Shows its age, yet has good arranging/interpretation fundamentals.

I don't think I've heard any Ice Cap Zone remixes with a triplet time signature, so I did one. Still a lot of work to be done here, but let me know what you think of it so far. Ice Cap Skip And Slide [BETA].mp3

Thank you so much for your comment, CJ! :) Unfortunately, not long after your listening to it I went back and listened myself, and it's come to my attention that this version is not the one originally attached to the e-mail submission for ESD. I had actually went back and redid the vocal mixing and production on all the other elements across the board, in the spirit of making it be beyond its album incarnation and more for the OCR front page. ...I hope at some point, some day, that updated, re-tuned version will come to light on OCR, but for the moment I'm glad you really enjoyed the album version of ESD. ^_^; If it does, I hope you revisit this tune as well. ♡

I used to use a plug-in similar in appearance to Genny called YM2612 (free on kvraudio). My main issue with it is that it is not compatible with sample rates above 44.1kHz. I'm not sure if Genny has this issue. I also grabbed RYM2612 because with the free VGM player RYMCast, it is possible to port instruments from VGM into RYM2612. Matter of fact, this cover contains modified Shinobi instruments, while my cover of Better Off Alone (by Alice Deejay) is primarily modified Sonic 3 Ice Cap instruments. Also got RYM2612 for the legacy filter and ladder effect options, as well as the ability to bitcrush audio via audio routing (route your drum sample track to RYM2612 for DAC). It even has a DAC prescaler for custom compression amount. BTW if you ever wanna use Deflemask, RYMCast can output instruments for it. Again, drag and drop.

In the event anybody listens to this track before it gets fixed, the youtube video and presumably the individual download link, are for the wrong version of the track. While the track was a marvel on its own being done in a span of one week, the amount of effort Angelique put into refining it into something greater is being missed with this version.

I've decided I'd like to jump on for this one, too! As the kids say, I'm 'old', so given that, I'd like to claim Animal Crossing: Wild World.
