OC ReMixes by fans who later became pro VGM composers

OC ReMixes by veteran game composers

Some complain there's too much coverage of major franchises, but are you REALLY gonna nitpick these lesser-known games from them?

Not only arranging VGM, but directly channeling the instruments and vibe of music outside of games

Playlist of some DoD winning tracks that have been posted on OCR!

Lucky number 7

The longest OC ReMixes ever, none shorter than 11 minutes!

8 OC ReMixes featuring odd and/or variable time signatures.

For some background, I was retracing my steps and figured out when I first found OCR. In 2007, I would have been checking halo.bungie.org (a Halo news fan-site) almost daily, and it highlighted Nick Singer's Forerunner Mix duology (later trilogy), which also came out around Halo 3's release and peak popularity. Me keeping up with OCR is why I would have also noticed Yellow Valkyrie getting posted not too long after. I didn't burn it to a disc like JHSounds, but these were the first 7 (later 8 with Samus' Lonesome Waltz) ReMixes I would have been listening to on my giant iPod Classic at the time.

One of my first ever posts to the OC ReMix forums back in the early aughts was about a mixtape I had made from a selection of ReMixes available at the time. Of the 11 tracks I picked, 4 have been ReMoved from the site since then, so I've substituted one released around the same time. Given that 8Track playlists restrict the number anyway, it works out. Despite me calling it a "Tape", it was actually a CD-R. The name is catchier that way.

OC ReMixes with sword (or synonyms of sword) in the title!

Get your head out of the clouds! (Or don't, see if we care! :-P)

Skip the obscure games at your peril! Do you WANT to miss out on great music?

Here's an 8Track of remixes by me that I consider my personal best!
