(Bit late, but The Coop had a point.) 🦇 Ahhhhhhh, yes. . . 'Tis the time, my children -- The Witching Hour *(GMT)! 🦇 Gather 'round!--for the Oogie Boogie Man has come to me bearing gifts on this eventful All Hallows' Eve! 🎃 It is (a)live, my darlings! The first ever 'Unofficial' An OverClocked Halloween, Volume I! 🪦 https://overclockedhalloween.boo/ 🪦 Get it now while it's *F R E S H* from the witches' brew, empowered by the fires of Hell and Brimstone!!! 😈 Have it in the background for your sordid partying affairs! Groove away the blasted day on-through till the dead of night with these wonderful tunes! I'd like to thank everyone who believed in this project: helped out, made the website, endorsed it, made their tracks for it (and placed them trustingly and lovingly into my claws to help produce and master), AND (lastly but not least-ly) those of **YOU** who're downloading the .zip folder *RIGHT NOW* and partaking of the treats (and tricks) this marvelous day! 🧡🌹 Thank you so, so much, from the bottom of my hearts (all three of them!!); have a lovely Halloween, and I look forward to spreading the spooky cheer next autumnal season, October 2026! ENJOY--and remember kids: "don't ever invite a vampire into your house, you silly [humans]. It renders you powerless!" 💀

If I do join, I'm thinking of doing "Another Winter" from Scott PIlgrim vs The World...

Nah, no worries, seriously! Organizing an album project with many people involved is not as easy as it might look like from the outside, and even less so when real life stuff gets in the way. It's very likely to miss things and commit extremely minor but somewhat embarrassing mistakes and more stuff like that. That happens to me ALL the time with my own stuff too haha, and I'm always doing stuff with lots of people involved. The thing with the right subforum to post the thread is not a big deal either. If I were you I might hesitate about bothering people in General, because maybe doubting about how appropiate or how important or worth it is, as I also tend to have this kind of thoughts. "Post your remixes" sounds more fitting if weren't because that's more like "Post OUR remixes" with so many other people involved. So totally understandable And regardless of all that, you did an excellent work organizing, seeking for people interested and especially on the mastering for all tracks. I wasn't confident with my own mixing but the way it sounds now in the album version I can quite notice the improvement, and how you tamed the annoying fluctuation of frequencies and other issues that are pretty common in my own mixes, and all sounds quite smooth in comparision. Can't wait for next year to craft more spooky stuff for this if you plan to do this as a yearly thing!

Hey! Kinda weird to post a comment on my own track, but there's just a couple things I wanted to respond to from what was said by the judges. First, @Chimpazilla the fact that you assumed this was @jnWake's own arrangement was like... one of the biggest compliments I got in a long while 🥰 You are right on how the original source totally fits his style, tho, and that's why I called him for keys. Also to @Hemophiliac, you are right on that more stuff could be added after the outro and voice clips. I can totally imagine more action coming, with the initial riff along with some drum hits caving the path for a somewhat funky section and then having a solos duet between guitars and keys. I note that for a potential future versions if everyone else involved agrees (maybe just toying on my own DAW with the additional stuff and then @minusworld adding the extra parts on his own mix project). And in general, thanks all 3 judges for the nice comments! I was quite discouraged after the first rejected track because that one was too much personal in many ways, so I'll consider submitting more tracks like this that, while proud of them, aren't that important in a personal/emotional level. In fact I was already toying with the idea of submitting the track 5 from the same Phantasia tribute album, which has a very similar lineup.

Oh, and just a note, since it was not included in neither the website or the txt inside the zip download, worth adding the credits list for my own track, because the way it's shown right now it might look like it's a solo track, and unfortunately I could never archive that level alone 😅 DeLuxDolemite - orchestral percusions (timpani, bells, taiko drums and cymbals) donut - clarinet jnWake - lead synths (organs, harpsichord, music box) minusworld - bass robshoppe - rhythm guitars Serrin's Toes - metal drums tibonev - lead guitars Unknown Pseudoartist - arrangement, programming, SFX, mix, etc I'm still planning to finnish a music video for it in my usual weird style but it'll take at least a few more days.

Oops! Haha, I commented in the other thread before noticing this one. So funny and also kinda ironic considering the plan to post it in General was to give it more visibility, yet I noticed the one in Recruiting first :D Anyways, glad to be part of this spooky cool thing! I finally managed to listen to all tracks and just saying everyone did an awesowe work! Special mention to the Golden Sun one, maybe a bit biased because how much I love that game, but still have nothing but sweet words about how great and original the reinterpretation is, since the source is that extremely different (more into the spiritual or mysterious vibes rather than dark or spooky, yet fitting so well as a soundtrack for a horror movie or whatever!

I agree that this subforum might be not the most appropiate if we want more people to notice the album release. After all, this is more like the place to find people interested to make something new, rather than showing the world the cool stuff that was just already done. As a former lurker in the scene (and including these forums) I might not even check here at all. But yeah, I understand the hesitance, and even more so in times when forums in general aren't as active as used to, unfortunately. So, if anything, my complain is that... why not adding the spooky front cover artwork to the first post too, instead of just the spooky Santa or whatever that creature is? :P

I'm still relatively new, but I'd like to participate.

I'm having the strangest sense of deja vu right now 😛
