I have submitted Star Fox: Double Wing Damage to OverClocked Remix project panel. Now all we must do is wait and see what's next! Great job, everyone! I am so proud to have worked on this album and I'm appreciative of all your support and hard work! Everyone did awesome! We did Fox McCloud proud!

If no problem with that, I'd be glad to join this album too, for the first time. After all, there's no strict quality controls or anyone being nitpicky with mixing on this one, right? :D You say any source is okay, even if not VGM, but just asking: are original compositions allowed, too? Because it sounds more tempting to try something original but influenced by good weather (aka cold and snow haha). If this is only about arrangements/remixes of other things, the source I'm thinking of is "Ary" from Tales of Phantasia. The original is slow and chill as heck, but I'd love to try something a lot faster and upbeat, in the style of the so-called "doujin" artists from the 2000s like I-Chu, Akineko, U-Gen, etc. I can totally see the vibe fitting this style and still fitting the theme, kinda sounding like some weirdo is having fun running with a skate all around the streets of an empty city because everyone is busy at their homes with family and stuff, just a funny concept I'm toying with mentally :D

I just made a Christmas tune, a version of Gloria. I'll send it your way when I get a moment:)

I'm 100% in! The only question is, what source am I going to do. I have a couple of ideas.

Project update: Album's done, there are no more loose ends (When it was submitted in October there were one or two items that I was tying up behind the scenes). It's now entirely up to OCR and their staff to create the package, trailer, etc., and deliver some fantastic music for y'all. Thanks for your immense patience, it will be worth it!

You can count me in ON GOD

No idea if it still works, but I've still got a copy https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/1iu764dptjba85m7ek2dx/Overclocked_Remix_Adventures_V102.zip?rlkey=87uazvq5cd861scmeb2ykez3c&st=qx2jvkg6&dl=0

Project Director: @Darkflamewolf (Director of Arcadia Legends, Mizar Attacks!, and SeeDs of Pandora) Project Concept: After much prodding and poking by a multitude of people/remixers, wanting me to get this Star Fox album project off the ground, I decided it's high time to get the pitch started! Hot off my take on the SeeDs of Pandora album, I figured we could do a similar thing where we had 'themed' discs with tracks that best matched the core essence of what the disc was aiming to be. However, since I'm not sure the overall interest and response to this album, I'm not going for a large multi-5-disc album like the FF8 one. Instead, I'm going to start off with a smaller 2-disc scope and see if we expand from there or get enough tracks to fill the entire ambition. To sign up, you must join the Community Remix Album Collaborations Discord server. We use it to communicate between all members on the project and makes things insanely easy to coordinate and keep track of the project as a whole. Once there, you can find the Google Form to submit your claim on a track and be part of the project! Discord Link: https://discord.gg/CtJ2a8kjRy The two Disc types*: - ACTIVE: You can interpret your chosen track into any genre/type of music you want, but it needs to maintain the frenetic feel of the original track. It's basically giving the Star Fox fan more of what they want. They got a fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat Corneria theme? Well, we'll give them that and THEN SOME. Keep it active! Make it hard, fast, loud, crazy - go wild! These are tracks I want to really turn my speakers up high and just rage/rock out to! Let the walls pound with the beat. Note: But what if you want to remix a slower song from the OSTs into a crazy, active style? YOU SURE CAN! If it is active and fast, it belongs on this disc, regardless of the original source tune. - INTERPRETIVE: This disc is for everyone not looking for those crazy times, but wants to explore the melodies and themes beyond their original incarnations. Complete freedom of genre, style and mood. You can stay within the genre/style/mood of the original track or you can go off in wild new directions with it and remix it in a way nobody has ever thought of. Can we have active tracks on this disc? Sure, but those probably won't be the focus, but that's not stopping you from making some beats. This is truly the 'freedom to remix' disc. So, if the first disc was giving Star Fox fans more of what they loved, this is giving something they never knew they needed! Be unexpected! Don't repeat what has been done before - do something fresh and new with these tracks if you can! * - More discs and their types will be added depending on how big this balloons as a community project. --- QUESTION: What if a track has already been claimed by another, but it's for the ACTIVE disc and I want to do the same song more INTERPRETATIVE, can we both claim it? ANSWER: YES! However, this is the only instance doubles can exist. We can't have two Star Fox 64 Corneria's on the ACTIVE disc, but we can have one Star Fox (SNES) Corneria on the ACTIVE disc and one Star Fox 64 Corneria on the INTERPRETIVE disc. One variant per disc. Likewise, each Corneria theme is different from game to game, so we CAN have Star Fox (SNES) Corneria on the ACTIVE disc and a Star Fox 64 Corneria on the ACTIVE at the same time since, if you listen, they are different themes for the same place - this also applies to any track claims on the INTERPRETIVE disc. QUESTION: What if a track I want to claim isn't on these track listings? ANSWER: Then when you fill out the Google submission form on the Discord server, claiming a track, request it to be added to the list and that you're claiming it! --- TRACK LIST I am listing all available tracks from all Star Fox games, but that does not mean they all need to be claimed/covered. We'll take whatever we can get, but this album is meant to be a tribute to the series as a whole, thus the entire listing.

Brandish - The Cursed King Remix

i dont want to submit my remixes, just want to share them here kindly. thx for the constructive feedback!

Co-signing with Chimpazilla and proph on this one. While your arrangement hews conservatively to the source material, I think the little additions like the reduction to the piano and bells at 1:20 before building back into the A section and the approaches to the melodic material on the guitar and vocals elevate this beyond a simple 1:1 cover of the tune. The production is the one big problem that's holding this one back -- too heavy in the mids, the heartbeat is eating up all your headroom, and the -2dB limiter ceiling, while maybe not causing all your production problems, only serves to clip the louder low-end elements (namely the heartbeat and the left hand of the piano). This one's ready for the front page with some tweaks on the mix, Azina! NO (resubmit)

"The bar was kinda crowded. Like the slave quarters of Rupture Farms. But that's a different story from another game. Couldn't even catch a glimpse of Robo Eggman and his big band through the thick clouds of smoke. Things were starting to get hot. So I went to the bar and ordered a hedgehog-friendly tuna shake. I sipped the glass slowly... ... and, of course, I reserved a pool table in the back corner of the bar to play a smooth casual game with my spiky-haired cutie and the affectionate, fluffy fox."

This is an old, old MnP track that I've resurrected (thematic pun very much intended) for the OverClocked Remix Halloween Album. This is the main melody of the source for the verses and the chords from the chorus of Bobby Pickett's - Monster Mash, but with the key adjusted to match the Psycho Pinball source. The vocals aren't final as yet, but I'd like some feedback on this advanced WIP; what works, what doesn't, music too loud, vocals too quiet etc etc. Many thanks!

I'm not familiar with the game or the original music in any way. But the remix sounds like a really good and humorous upgrade of the original soundtrack. The mixing also makes a really good impression. It is also something really different in terms of genre. So I would definitely submit it and give it to the judges at OCR for evaluation. ))

EDIT: Forgot the most important part... record scratch. Updated wip below. Katamari Stars 2025-06-24 2253.mp3 Source:

It's July 6th. It's not time for Summer or heat, it's time to think snow! The chilly air! The tiny ice patch on the driveway that you didn't see and ended up making you fall on your ass. Yes indeed, it's time to start recruiting for the next An OverClocked Christmas album! We've got over five months before the due date, so let's see how many people are interested in taking part for the nineteenth entry in this (usually) happy, seasonal project. As per the norm, this project is open to any and all OCR members, regardless of whether you're a posted remixer or not. You want info? I got your info right here... When's The Project Deadline?- December 20th, 2025 at 11:59 P.M. EST. This is now a REALLY hard, non-negotiable deadline, since it's very close to Christmas. We've had lots of last-minute entries and updates over the years and, to be perfectly honest, it shouldn't be that way. With months of time, having to hold off as long as possible for people made things pretty hectic for myself and Dyne in the past. Treating this project like a college paper that doesn't get worked on until the last minute got annoying rather quickly when it kept adding up to lots of hurrying year after year, with last second updates to artwork and retagging/reuploading things. As such, you have until one minute before midnight EST on December 20th to get me the final WAV or MP3 of your song. After that, you're shit outta luck until next year. I need time to do everything, including possibly making a little website to host this project if Dyne isn't online for one reason or another. So this deadline's set in stone... PERIOD. What Information Does The Coop Need?- When you send me your final versions, I'll need what name you want to use (real or remixer handle) and the name of your remix. Please, come up with something when you send me links to the file, rather than just giving me a file called "ff6-owa-v3f.mp3" and nothing else. You don't have to tell me what song you're remixing, but I do need a name for the remix. What Can Be Remixed?- Any song, really. Traditional Christmas carols, video game music, published music by a signed artist, music from TV/cartoons/anime... whatever gets your heart racing and into that Christmas spirit. This isn't an official OCR album, so you can draw from more sources than just VGM. Plus, you can take a non-Christmas tune, like the Main Theme from Space Harrier, Stage 6 Mission 2 from Metal Head, or I Defend STM from Truxton II, and turn it into a Christmasy one. So know that it's not limited only to songs that are Christmas-like to begin with. All that said, do keep in mind that if you want to submit your song to OCR later, you'll need to keep this site's guidelines in the back of your mind. But for this album, you can take it in just about any direction you want and get as crazy as you'd like (but please, no "Silver Bells" done in farts or something). How Long Can My Song Be?- As long as you want it to be. There are no restrictions on this, so whether it's 1:30, or 9:51 with a five minute guitar solo ala Metallica, it's all good. But again, if you want to submit your song to OCR later, keep their guidelines in mind. What Genres Can I Remix In?- Again, the door's wide open here. Rap, Metal, Pop, Piano-solo, Orchestral, Jazz, 8/16-bit, Barber Shop Quartet, A capella, Death Polka... it's up to you where you want to take it. What Format Should I Submit My Song In?- WAV or an MP3 of at least 192KB/s quality. I'll be tagging the MP3s and making MP3s from any submitted wavs, so you don't have to worry about that. How About A Little Music To Get Us In The Mood?- To help everyone along, here's a YouTube list of Christmasy tunes made by Ocre a number of years ago... https://ocremix.org/community/topic/32727-an-overclocked-christmas-~-now-recruiting/?tab=comments#comment-676914 What's The Website's Address Again?- It's got a new home at... http://williammichael.info/aocc/ This album will still be downloaded there as well, as Dyne will continue to host the albums on his site. How Do We Contact This The Coop Person?- If you've got questions, comments, concerns, want feedback, or your track is done and ready to be sent to me, you can PM me here on OCR, or send me an E-mail at thecoopscorner@gmail.com. Just be sure you remember to include a link to your remix, or attach it to your message. So yeah, there you go. You've got over five months to get something done for the lovely people of OverClocked Remix and the billions of listeners around the world who've become followers of our project. Good luck, have fun and make everyone some Nice Work™! Artists involved thus far... The Coop (director, cover artist and remixer)

I saw this the other day and wanted to comment. Spread the good word, folks! AOCC is coming back again! 19 years... wow. I'm a proud papa. LOL. Good luck to everyone, do your best!

This is super conservative to the source tune, maybe almost too much so, but I appreciate the little countermelodies and additional textures added. The guitar is performed well. It's a nice, yet straightforward, arrangement. I agree with proph about the mixing, it's very dense and very low and low-mid heavy, giving the overall mix a muddy and sometimes boxy feel. I agree with him that some EQ is needed, to remove unwanted lows/low-mids and rumble from the non-bass instruments, vocals and drums, as everything is piling up and clashing in the lows and low mids. Having all these lows in everything also has the impact of stealing your mastering headroom. You'll have an easier and louder master after taming the instruments with EQ, as your limiter won't have such a huge task of smashing everything down. As it stands, this master is being pushed very hard, and also the limit of -2db seems very unnecessary. You can even see on SPAN how the frequencies are heavily skewed towards the low mids, with the high mids and highs severely rolling off by comparison. This is not a good overall balance for the track. I took this snip at exactly 2:13 in the mix. There are so many instruments playing at that point that everything sounds jumbled up and indistinct. I'm very borderline on this because part of me feels it could post like this. But on repeat listens, I feel that the mixing really does need to be addressed to make this completely passable and enjoyable to listen to. Please clean up the mixing and send it right back to us! NO (please resubmit)

track is hard-limited to -2dba and has some visible waveform clipping. opens with some very verby elements - piano, muted guitar, and electric guitar in octaves. lot of panning. a huge, heavy beat comes in at 0:39 and it clips pretty hard there. there's some other pad elements but everything feels so loud that i can't really hear what's going on. at 1:01, the texture thins out again, and there's some neat little bell elements. we get a transition into 1:35 where the melody's in the voice. there's a very loud, low piano part that's unfortunately causing more clipping here. the kick comes back in at 2:08 and exacerbates the clipping and distortion that's going on. it's unfortunate because what's here - the piano swimming in reverb, various lead elements, the bells - sounds really cool, but it's just very crunchy in a way that doesn't sound intentional. there's an outro flourish and it's done. most of your elements are not EQ'd at all, to my ear. at the very least, you're going to want to apply an EQ to each instrument that cuts unwanted frequencies. right now several instruments are pushing sound below 40hz, and it's causing everything to sound cluttered and muddy. turning everything down overall and then ensuring that instruments aren't transmitting in ranges you don't want them will help a lot. you have several competing instruments in the low range as well - stripping that back a bit will also help. this is a really, really cool arrangement, and i love the approach especially in your lead choices between the guitar and voice. if we can clean up the unintentional clipping, this could be really stellar. NO

I'll endeavour to throw my hat into the ring this year. :)

Well, good news regarding my track: I already managed to assemble an awesome team of performers to join! 2 guitarists (for rhythms and leads separately), bassist, drummer, clarinetist, keyboardist... that'll be like a real great band. I got some progress with the video already, which, sure, not a requirement for the album at all haha but I'm doing it more of my own, as a kind of concept thing to better show the ideas. Basically inspired by classic horror movies in general and Nightmare on Elm Street in particular. All is going really well so far and everyone involved has plenty of time, so unless shit happens last minute, I have some good expectations with it. Excited to see what everyone else is cooking as well :)

I was wondering if someone could do a remix of the track Beneath the Earthen Womb (Song). Maybe done in a style evocative of a mother's lullaby to her child. Not necessarily with Lyrics, but something soft and warm

can confirm that it works!

No. It’s still there. I’ll look into why it’s not showing up.

Hey all, I wanted to put feelers out for a Halo album since there's not much OCR content for it. Some notes: Timeline/Production - I'm gauging interest now and would plan on formally starting production in January/February 2026. - The plan would be to have it out-the-door right around Halo 3's 20th anniversary date of September 25th, 2007. - For visual assets, I can do a lot of branding and stuff directly. My girlfriend and I team up on art a lot (she illustrates), so we could most likely do key art for it as well. Remix Guidelines - Even though it's Halo 3's release date, sources from all Halo games are allowed. No "original trilogy only", spinoffs permitted, etc. to maximize the number of sources. - Similarly, no restrictions on genre or production style as long as it fits OCR's submission standards. - No tracklisting set in stone. We would just see what gets finished and sequence the tracks by vibes. If needed it could be more than one side/volume/disc. - Related, no "slots", within reason. If 3 people want to all cover Covenant Dance, that's fine, as long as we have more than like 5 tracks. - References to songs other than the source tune, non Halo-tracks, etc. are fine as long as the source is dominant. I have a list of popular/interesting source tunes in my next post, which covers Halo 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 (Infinite), as well as Wars, ODST, and Reach, which are spinoffs. There's a couple other spinoffs I'm not familiar with, mainly Halo Wars 2. Halo's early soundtracks are somewhat unique because they have a lot of Medieval and World influence despite being military sci-fi shooters. Each game tends to lean into a few genres for flavor - Halo 2 incorporates New Age and Alternative Rock, while ODST is a noir-influenced spinoff set in Kenya, so incorporates a lot more piano and saxophone, pounding tribal drums and basslines, etc. Additionally, if anyone is interested but is unfamiliar with the sources, you can give me some info on your style (or even reference tracks) and I can look for some specific source tunes for you.

Hey all, I wanted to put feelers out for a Metroid Fusion EP/album. I have a more specific tracklisting/direction in mind than the Halo album idea, which is meant to be more franchise-wide. Timeline/Production - I'm gauging interest now and would plan on formally starting production in January/February 2026. - The plan would be to have it out-the-door right around Metroid Fusion's 25th anniversaries; either November 17th, 2027 (US) or February 14th, 2028 (JP). - For visual assets, I can be in charge of it unless someone else wants to be, along with my girlfriend helping with key art illustration. - The album art will probably be split down the middle because of the album theme. Remix Guidelines - This is similar to Double Wing Damage where there's a "traditional" half and an experimental half, however there are no restrictions on genre. Jazzy Sector 1, Breakcore Sector 3, etc. are all fair game. - The "traditional" part is that the first half's arrangements would be dominated by the source tune. Small references to other sources are fine. - The experimental or "Depths" tracks should fuse the Sector tracks with other sources, as only a few "Depths" songs exist in-game, and only one (Sector 4) is exclusive to that area. Tracklisting/Direction: The album would use "slots" and be 13-15 tracks total, with an A-side and a "Depths" side, like how Metroid games have expanded "depths" areas on revisit. Examples include Brinstar Red Soil's area or Phendrana Drifts Depths. Side A 1-1. Intro (I have something in mind for this) 1-2. Sector 1 (SRX) 1-3. Sector 2 (TRO) 1-4. Sector 3 (PYR) 1-5. Sector 4 (AQA) 1-6. Sector 5 (ARC) 1-7. Sector 6 (NOC) 1-8. Optionally there can be an interlude, probably referencing the Restricted Zone. ("Warning: No entry without authorization!") Side B (Depths) Not every Sector has "depths" music, so incorporating other sources is encouraged here. These can be area bosses, adjacent areas, etc. Some examples of non-Fusion Metroid combos could be NOC (a dark area) with VS Dark Samus or ARC (an ice area) with Phendrana Drifts. 2-1. Sector 1 Depths. Related sources: VS Arachnus-X, VS Neo Ridley 2-2. Sector 2 Depths. Related sources: VS Zazabi, Barrier Core-X, VS Nettori / Chozo Statue First Form 2-3. Sector 3 Depths. Related sources: Security Robot B.O.X., Sector 3 Emergency Situation, Crisis Mission 2-4. Sector 4 Depths (Underwater Area). Related sources: VS Serris/Yakuza 2-5. Sector 5 Depths. Related sources: VS Nightmare. (ARC + Nightmare = mix could be named "Cold Sweat"?) 2-6. Sector 6 Depths. Related sources: Security Robot B.O.X. 2-7. We can either end with 2-6 (vibes permitting) or have a dedicated finale/outro track. It would probably involve either Final Mission, Crisis Mission or the Credits theme. Note that the related Fusion sources aren't all-inclusive, and there's a lot of wiggle room. For example the BOX robot and the SA-X fight Samus in multiple sectors, Facing a Huge Reaction plays in like 3-4 sectors, etc. As long as you have a reason for your secondary source it's probably fine, and multiple people having the same secondary source is allowed. If there's interest I was thinking about taking either Sector 2 (TRO), TRO Depths, Sector 6 (NOC), or NOC depths and doing the Dark Samus thing I mentioned above.

I'd like to offer my availability for drums, percussion, and related sounds if so desired.

Mayhaps doing NOC with either VS Dark Samus or VS Metroid Prime (from, ofc, MP1) might be interesting. :)

@The Vodoú Queen there's a 50/50 chance I can do something for Golden Sun - Jupiter Lighthouse. I should know for sure by late September, if that's okay.

@pixelseph Yo, dude, I finally finished the guitar part and the whole remix project. Gave some of my best shots in terms of my momentary composing, instrumental and mixing skills. So I'm really lookin' forward to your critical opinion of a professional guitarist. )) I posted the full version of my remix in the forum "Post Your Game ReMixes!". The remix is called "Crisis Core - Final Fantasy 7 - Wings Of Freedom (Master Mi Remix)".

Definitely like what you've got goin on here.

Hey there! Apologies for the delay -- I have been extremely busy as of late, sorting a lot of stuff in my head and dealing with the auditions for an OCR album that recently had a resurgence. ^_^; I'll get back to this in no time! Thank you! Welcome aboard! :D I'm a big fan of creepy stuff, too. :) It's not too late at all. ♥ But if you have a rough WIP you'd like to send me via PM, I'd love to hear it, especially if it's the Boss Theme from Terranigma inspired by Bloody Mary herself! :P And I didn't know that about Terranigma's anniversary, so that would even be more hype! I'm happy to take it for a spin, and you're welcome to go find people to collab with, for both/either performing something or mixing the track. It might be best to do it via OCR's Discord server and ask around, but I plan on trying to master the tracks myself, so if you can find someone to help you do the mixing, that'd be ace. Would you like me to add your track to the list? ^_^ Sure! That'd be great. You can send me a WIP of it, or the complete version of it that is akin to the one you submitted to the Judges' Panel via PM here. It's OK if you cannot do an unmastered WAV of it, tho -- we can work around that somehow. :) Would you like me to add your track to the list? :D @Troyificus@The Coop@Unknown Pseudoartist -- I did receive your individual PMs, and I will get to them and reply ASAP. Once I get my head above water and see the results for the audition tracks come past the 30th of June, I'll be in a better spot to focus-in on your work. :) TYSM for your patience in the meantime, and sending me the mail!

Oh, nice, I don't know how I missed this project, but I love the idea! I just love creepy stuff (how creepy that sounds like! haha) Maybe a bit late, but I have a very rough WIP for a track that I think it'd fit this album pretty well. It's a dark/horror/creepy/whatever arrangement of the boss theme from Terranigma, highly inspired by that annoying boss, Bloody Mary. Terranigma's anniversary is in October too and I'd love to make a video with it once it's finnished, so the plan is just ideal. So far it's 100% MIDI but the structure has plenty of progress. I'm pretty confident with my arranging skills and ideas but everyone in the VGM scene seems to hate my mixing haha, so since this project seems not to be that nitpicky it'd probably be just fine. Still accepting help from performers or even in mixing/mastering if anyone is interested, tho. I can share the latest WIP as reference if that's needed.

Much better! About the arrangement, could you give the source? What I can say now. I really like the first half and the end after transition. About transition at 2'02-2'30, I find it sounds empty. Only the synthe and the bass drum before the rhythm really start. Even if I like the idea of a break before restart. I think it needs more development, by adding of some details. Maybe some minor rhythm variations, or adding of some note of high piano to remind other parts of the mix. You conclude by a fade-out, I’m not sure it’s appropriate for this kind of music. * About mixing, I can tell you what I feel, but I’m not familiarized with this kind of music. I think intro with synthe need humanisation. And also for other parts where this same synthe is in the foreground. At 2’35, I feel the snare is too a little too loud. Maybe it’s the same level as in the first half. But I feel this at this part. Good luck !

Nah, no worries. ;) I'm glad to see the representation here, as is! ^_^ These guys are fire, and it's well-deserved.

Thank you! If I were allowed more than 8 tracks, I would have included Chozodynamic in this list, for sure ♥

♥ Much love to the brothas and sistahs here around the community. :D ♥ Thanks for making this and the other 8Tracks, and your appreciation for everyone's work! Keep at it -- meanwhile, Imma listen to this one, right now.

Tracks updated! ♥ I might be utilizing the forum's 'CLUBS' function here for this, as suggested by DarkeSword himself. :) I've also got access to the CRAC server as admin / album director, so I will be adding channels for AOCC and AOCH there as well, soon. :D Here's the link to the server, if you're not already on there! -- https://discord.gg/wKyadaTT And as a bit of a surprise, The Coop and I are working on the front and back covers for this!! Yay! Progress! :3 Official website details are still up in the air, but I'll be touching base with @tibonev & @colorado weeks on that ASAP. Hang ten, guys! Looking forward to hearing your WIPs! 🎃🥰

Oh wow, this is definitely super indulgent. I was already impressed enough with the idea of putting DDD in a minor key, and bringing in a nod to "Piranha Plant's Lullaby" had me sold - but three movements of the source, in three completely different emotional packages, contextualising the development of a relationship whether romantic or even platonic? Now, THAT hits deep. From the lively treatment of the source in the initial build and two-step section, to the more intimate-sounding EDM second section, to the outright broken nature of the heavy metal section with eventual blast beats and quadruple kick pedal (!!), there's so much contextually that has something that a listener can easily interpret this ride of an emotional bond in their own way. With that ambition also comes its way of being placed together. Obviously the tones are all well put together, whether it be synths, guitars, percussion or various other effects. Brad can say what he wants about the transitions being jank, or disjointed, but that's part of the anticipating of seeing where the direction would go next. The only thing that stuck out as concerning for me was the un-synergized tonality between the lead guitar shredding and the more minimalist chords, which makes sense concerning the different tuning put in play. It's no irk for me, as at the end of the day, timings and performances are tight enough to let the section run through in its intended (chaotic) format. It's a very easy vote - super ambitious, obvious use of the source BGM albeit twisted in more ways than one, all wrapped up in a powerful package. Let's get this on board. YES

Loved this theme as a kid, so always glad to hear someone transform it. The sound design's pretty cool, and I appreciate giving this a not-dour-yet-darker edge; very exploratory, and I didn't expect the... let's say indulgent... rock turn 4 minutes in. :-) Dayum, son, where’d you musically incubate? Arriving here all fully formed and shit… :-P YES

opens with some heavily filtered arpeggiated elements and pads, and some really ringy vocals. the big hit at 0:31 reminds me of another remixer's penchant for huge transitional synths. there's some trancey keys doing the arpeggio and eventual melody line, although they're not particularly idiomatic. i found the wide spacey synth with the long delay on the attack to be a little too fast for how slow it was, but i liked the vibe for sure. there's a big transitional element into 1:39, and there's some really wild sound design here that's fun. i appreciate that it never quite settles down to a normal - it's constantly changing and evolving. 2:10's a hard drop in style, and the keys here sound like they're releasing early which is interesting. the lack of sustain compared to earlier feels is unsettling. another big build into 2:44, and there's a particularly filthy bassline synth that i really like here. there's also a lot of rumble which i'm not as big a fan of. the lead here is outrageously mean and over-the-top extreme, and the transitions are all really janky, so this is very intense. 3:30's long falling action functions as a great palate-cleanser to that intensity, and we hear the docks come back much clearer this time around. the sfx in here on the vocal clips is enough that i couldn't tell at all what was going on in them. i don't know if that was intentional or not. the piano in here is a little too high and piercing for me, and combined with the overtones from the vocal clips, this was kind of uncomfortable to listen. we finally reach the third section, and it's a much more straightforward, heavy feel. most of this didn't seem to be clearly able to be mapped to the original in any way, but there was some clear intentionality at 5:11, and later when the keys come in at 5:41. the intensity of the drums especially is nuts through this whole section. i found myself liking the setting more than everything that the lead was playing - especially initially, that low bend sounded nowhere near the key that was being played. 5:41's a significant falling action, and this is clearly the end of the road here. there's some sfx to end it, and we're done. what a ride! this is so broad from start to finish, showing a ton of versatility and stylistic influences. i certainly don't think it's perfect, but what a broad spectrum of approaches and concepts. i certainly don't know of another DDD concept that comes at the original from so many different directions. it's easy to nitpick something so broad, so i'll just say that i really enjoyed it, there's more than enough source for it to count, and the perspective here is intense. nice work. YES

The O in Of probably shouldn't be capitalized. It looks weird to me, and it's against what wikipedia's referenced style guides recommend. Dealbreaker? No. Bugs me? Yes. eval: The drums are strangely weak. The whole mix is a bit too soft. Not much. Find some remixes from here with a similar sound or style, and compare how loud they are. Try to put yours on roughly the same level. Err on the soft side, but make it louder than it is now. I'm not a fan of the choice of snare sound. It's too short and snappy, and too same-y when it feels like it should be more dynamic. I don't like the guitar sound either. There's a weird tapping sound at 2:30, probably part of the cymbal rise. I don't particularly like the piano-reverb sound. There's a sound probably from the piano's mechanisms that becomes rather prominent on the higher notes, and bleeds into the reverb as well. It might be possible to filter it out of the sound. If it's recorded audio, and includes the room sound, it might be difficult to get rid of it, but you can experiment with eq to try to reduce how prominent it is. The sound choices overall are good imo, but there's those little things that stand out. The arrangement is quite conservative, but the instrument choices are in part different, and the sound and elements like your piano intro set it apart. Can't say if it's sufficient, but I know I've been needlessly critical of this stuff in the past. Tough call. It sounds like a nice arrangement for a real band, and many of its shortcomings are because it's not played by a real band. There's a lack of detail to many of the sound choices and performances that I think a real performer would have done something about. Drums and acoustic guitar in particular. Dulcimer (or whatever) too. Electric guitar is well handled and shouldn't need more work imo. I think it's a mediocre remix. I don't mean that in a bad way. In many ways, it's neither notably good nor notably bad. It'd be nice to hear a higher level of performance (or illusion of performance) here, because I think the arrangement is worth it. Whether it's suited for ocremix is difficult to say. I'd definitely sub this, I'm just not sure how much work I'd put into it before subbing. Definitely raising the levels, looking into the piano eq thing, and trying to get more performance into some of the instruments. Just not sure how much. Nice work.
