Neat. I love this organic retro feel. Especially with those distinctive lo-fi rhythm flutes.

Good to hear more ReMixes with exotic scales. This one is full of energy. To be expected from timaeus. 1:17 rhythm reminds me of Kaufman's Shantae. And you don't get flexatones every day. So props to that.

Reminds me of GrayLightning. Both because of the instrumentation and because it has "Phoenix" in the title. A word Gray also used in some of his ReMixes. This is a highly enjoyable piece. Certainly does the source justice. And it's from RoeTaka! (I still love his Chaos Legion track). A keeper!

Protricity just shared an unfinished WIP of Bubble Crab: Always enjoyed his stuff. Even the unfinished WIPs. This one might be on the high end of frequencies. But it still has his style written all over it. The delayed arps have a dreamy feel. And the drums have an old OCR flavor!

I think this sort of stuff fits well with fast-paced music in particular. It gives the illusion that more than one channel is being used.

Loving this. Lots of rich harmonies. Lots of good sounding drums. It has a more dramatic, sudden death feel than the original. Congrats, RushJet1!

Bundeslang, it works fine to me. Maybe your download was unsuccessful. Try again : )

I have some VGMixes which weren't on VGMix Archive: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0hfwl3l85n2i716/VGMix.rar

Mazedude is the Bill Plympton of VG Remixing.

Well, I like the music in this game. And won't let brands influence my musical tastes. Really nice cover. Love the synced lead and the acoustic guitar outro. I'm just not too keen on the drum writing (with the kicks all over the place at times). But that is typical of this type of metal. And so a matter of personal preference.

Get Jukebox, load the rom into it, play a song and mute all but the drum channel so you'll be able to get the sounds with a WAV recorder. Good luck. And welcome to OCR!

Really digging this. I think it's on par with your Solar Jetman track (which was already incredible).

Heh. I like the way you represent voices on the visualizer.

I really enjoyed timaeus222's track. Lots of energy. Makes me want to check out the original (can't do much better than that when remixing game music). Also, this is a neat concept for an album. Makes me wonder what a Gunpei Yokoi EP would've been like.

Man, I just checked your YouTube channel. I'm blown away by your piano solos. Glad to have a friend with such passion for music. And the source here is one of my favourites from a game I never played. Fantastic stuff! Great to know you're still kicking!!

Only watched the first episode. My favourite part was the Toriyama cameo (as if he was worthy enough to have his face stamped on money, heh). I like it when he makes fun of himself.

My brother was passing by and told me this sounds like comedy stand-up music, heh. Really enjoying the final version, Markus. While I still think a vibraphone could be appropriate at a certain point, I get that you prefer limiting your instrument choices. And yet you manage to hold my attention all the way. Also, I know I said this before, but I commend you on your source choice. It shows that you have good taste in music and a bit of class when it comes to you and your chiptunes : ) This will stay in my morning playlist. Superb stuff.

Not familiar with the game. But I love synth metal (which is not a genre I expected from you, but it works well). Synth brass was a highlight for me. Did you create the vector animation yourself from scratch?

Piano section sounds too quiet compared to the rest. Intro was short and the transition at 0:17 was too sudden and in a different key (which makes the intro feel detached from the rest). Add vibrato to your leads to prevent them from sounding straight.

Try improving your drum work in future pieces. The snare sounds too mechanical with no notable velocity variation. Open hi-hat sounds too loud, while ride cymbal sounds too quiet. Leads are where the track shines.

Your spin doesn't do much to set it apart from the original. It is almost the same, but with slightly different instruments: so what is the point? A half-hearted effort at popularity won't get you too far.

The whole track sounds muffled. Drums are on auto-pilot. And the original song has a more varied instrumentation than this. But the guitar lead reminds me of U-GEN's own MMX arrangements, which is cool.

Hey, everyone... It has been 10 years since VGMix 2 was forced to "shut its doors". So in order to celebrate the positive impact it had on the game music scene, I am sharing 29 remixes from my old backups (I have more than that. But honestly, I don't want to share music that no one could possibly like). None of these tracks are on VGMix Archive, which means many of them will finally see the light of day after a whole decade! I tagged each song and even included comments from the artists themselves, when such info was available for me. https://www.dropbox.com/s/0hfwl3l85n2i716/VGMix.rar I hope you enjoy!

This is a childhood favorite of mine. High replay value with friends. Too bad the kickstarter game wasn't promising enough to get funded. But I think the main problem was poor video marketing.

Kuru Kuru Kururin for GBA. One of those "reach your goal" type of games with unique gameplay and appealing graphics/bg animation. Not to mention the wonderful music by Atsuhiro Motoyama.
