Congrats Souperion! Next round is up!

A really fun round, congrats everyone!

This was a fun round, I enjoy having to get creative with short sources. Good job all, I'll try and find a nice source for the next.

Compo: MnP (Meat 'n Potatoes) Congratulations to Souperion for winning the last round! As a result, he get's to choose this month's MnP source! Here's what he had to say about his pick: "Bonds of Sea and Fire" from Xenogears. I've never played the game, but a friend directed me to the song. It's another beauty by Yasunori Mitsuda (Chrono Trigger/Cross, among others), delicate and delightful." - Souperion GAME: Xenogears (PlayStation 1) SOURCE: Bonds of Sea and Fire VIDEO: Deadline: 7th July @ 1PM Closing Date: 9th July @ 1PM Vote Ends: 16th July @ 1PM MnP ARCHIVE - made by Trism submit: http://compo.thasauce.net/rounds/view/MnP125 MISSION STATEMENT The goal of Compo:MnP is to promote that "meat and potatoes" conservative approach to remixing: this includes the mood and composition of source tunes. It is up to the remixer to create their own personalization, or to simply give it a sound upgrade. Moreover, the compo is a great opportunity to hone your remixing skills and give video game music the respect that is due. SOME reinterpretation is recommended, but not required. MnP Instructions/Guidelines - Now Updated Rules for Picking a Source: All video game sources are limited to the 6th generation of video game consoles and earlier. This was due to community consensus, where people preferred to remix more retro games, than newer games. 6th generation includes: GameCube, Xbox, PS2 and Dreamcast. I'm now restricting big name franchises (Such as Zelda and Mega-Man) to one source per year. This is to encourage more obscure games, that not many people will know about to be picked. Make sure you provide me both a video and a MIDI of the source in question. Note: This is subject to change. Also keep an eye out, if any special rounds come into fruition. Guidelines: Modifying the Source is fine, so long as it doesn't sound completely separate from its original intent. If you're gonna do a genre change, at least make sure the original aspect of the source is not lost. Tempo changes are fine, as long as it's not a big change. I'm talking like, going from 80bpm to 140bpm. Submissions must be at a maximum of 20mb (keeping in step with ThaSauce's file size max), and submitted as a MP3 file. Only 1 entry per participant. Previous winner cannot participate but can submit a BONUS entry. Try to avoid making quality-based comments on submissions until after the Round is concluded. It is to avoid a Bias in Votes. MISC/TIPS - When picking a source tune, make sure it has a MIDI to make people's lives easier. - In-game sound FX are permitted, so long as they don't comprise the whole track (i.e. replacing entire MIDI tracks with just sfx)

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but was this song (well it's alter-ego, "Jupiter Jazz") used in the show Cowboy Bebop? It feels like it was at some point for one of the chase scenes, and not just happenstance be the title of episodes 12 and 13, also called 'Jupiter Jazz'. ...I swear when I YT'd it and listened to the Underground Resistance / Galaxy 2 Galaxy version, I had heard it in the show before, but I am unsure. It's been literal years since I've seen it, TBF. And to clarify--whether it is or not--what I mean in my song blurb is that I incorporated some Bebop fun stuff into it. ^^ Unsure if the song was actually used in the show, but based on its namesake, thought I'd do a couple of nods to the show and episodes themselves, based from the same name of the alternate track.

Mine's in.

Sea and Fire? Can I get away with a fire-focused arrangement....

Bonus entrant out!

Yeah, what stuck out to me, was how fast it was, and that made me confused. Thanks for clearing it up for me! I'm used to hip-hop going between 70bpm to 120 bpm, and this felt like 130-140bpm. (Well ok, trap music is 140-180, but i often feel it as 70-90bpm because of the way the patterns are structured. Also this felt like a breakbeat, so that might have been why i was a bit confused.). Again this doesn't make it bad, it just felt fast to me, so i wanted to get some clarification. Also i do listen to a fair bit of hip-hop, so i am familiar with the tracks linked. Update: I think there is a spelling mistake that might have trigged the confusion. You've listed it as Trap-hop, and i assume you mean Trip-Hop, unless i am wrong. All in all, i still think you did a great job on yours! It's all good.
