Haven't seen any word on this being up yet. It's a bummer cause I'll be with out internet access starting tomorrow. So I'll have to give it a listen after Christmas has come and gone. I'm sure it will be good as usual though.

Dear god Shulk. He deserves to be in there now as a full fledged Smash Bros. representative.
My full list though;
1. Shulk
2. Pit
3. Quote
ALTHOUGH.... one character that should've been on this list is Shovel Knight. I would've voted Shovel Knight as my third choice had he been on there. So next time don't forget him.
-
Just found out it was released.
Can't seem to see Volume 8 up... no tab for it, and the album cover icon doesn't link either. So right now all I can do is admire the cover art.
-
I just hope someone does a Christmas take on Winter's White from Earthbound eventually for one of the the releases....
A guy can dream. That said I disappear again....

We would love to have you on board, since this project is just beginning, you can also choose to join a little later and everything.Hell yes, Golden Sun!Man, I really love the games and the soundtracks! This is great to see that a project for these games! I'll see if I'll have enough time to ask for one track!

Go for it, during the process of preparing this game I played through both over again just to get a good feel for the songs and atmosphere.Never finished the first game, but I did enjoy it and I remember the music kicking ass, so count me in! I think I'll have to whip up some demos or something to see if my ability is up to the standards you're after here, as I am a newbie here. So I won't claim anything just yet.I'm definitely gonna go back and revisit the first game actually. To get some inspiration.
I would enjoy some sort of example of work you've done. It really helps to see where your musical style lies. If you have nothing posted anywhere already whipping up a quick demo is great.
Bonus points if you got instrument training as well. I'd like to expand the amount of variety we have in sound.

Done and done.Please remove % completion status and information about deadlines - this is a purely recruitment forum.Edit: Also the OST link in mp3 form.

Well there's a possibility of splitting the two songs up, but if you can give it some thought and listen to both songs, and consider whether it is something you are able to do or not.
Forcing medley's is not something I wanted to do originally, but in order to try and cut down the number of tracks we try to produce, I'm trying to encourage some creative mixing with some songs. Although within reason of course.
Again just think about it, brain storm a little, and if it can't be done then we could split them up, just let me know and everything. I'm all for flexibility.
-
Confirming that I've put you down for "On that Night, 3 Years Ago". Thank you for joining the project, I encourage you to join the project forums one day, but it's not critical at this point.On that Night, 3 Years AgoI wants it. Bass solo included plz.
And yea, I guess I'll take the other track too.
I can't wait to see the wonderful bass powered solo too considering the work I've heard from you
EDIT: Also just thought I'd ask, you are aware that you have to work in Satorus + Menardi's theme into the song right? Shouldn't be a problem for you though considering that Satorus and Menardi is totally a song that like wise has a lot of bass in it. Part of the reason why I put the songs together.
-
Well I've gotten some bites in other sites so I consider that a good thing.Best of luck to everybody involved with this. Golden Sun has needed the album treatment, and it's about time it got some. Thanks for organizing everything and making such beautiful artwork for it already, TheMaverickk.

Welcome to the Golden Sun ReMix Project!
This project seeks to recreate, and reinterpret the wonderful and exquisite soundtracks found in the original Golden Sun, and it's sequel Golden Sun: The Lost Age.
With careful coordination and passionate work, the hope is to represent the music found in both games. This thread has been created as a meeting point for the project on the OCR forums, and with the hopes of finding more people who are passionate about both music and the Golden Sun series. Although if you've never played any of the games, you are more then welcome to still be apart of the project.
Project Status: Currently Unofficial
Current Stage: Launch & Recruitment
Project Guidelines
Hello there, I’m TheMaverickk. This project came into fruition after I talked about possibly heading it, and my pal Brandon Strader threw it out there that I should certainly go for it. The Golden Sun series is one of my favourite RPG series of all time. I have fond memories of reaching the end of the game only to encounter the “To Be Continued” ending, and then waiting 3 years for it’s wonderful sequel. This is a title I’m quite passionate about, and not just because the games were great, but have one of the most powerful and moving soundtracks in a game ever. I started recruiting and inviting people to be involved with this project around April. The project has slowly been growing with some WIP’s being produced and one song even being completed.
The one detail about this project that I have been adamant about is that both the original Golden Sun, and it’s sequel, The Lost Age, be covered. One with out the other would feel incomplete, much like as if you were to play only one of the two games. Between both titles the diversity of musical styles and sounds are amazing. It is that diversity I hope to recreate in new and exciting ways, to do the Golden Sun series justice. With E3 2010 drawing near, Golden Sun is sure to be on every ones mind as new details surface about Golden Sun DS. So there has never been a better time to show love and appreciation to this epic adventure game.
Claiming Tracks:
I’ve sent out invitations to people across the ReMixing community (stretching from OCR, VGmix, and all you hooligans who hang out on the Shizz) and those people have first choice on tracks. If you didn’t get a personal invite though, don’t worry because at the end of the day the people who are even more valued are those passionate ReMixers who love Golden Sun as much as I do and come here and claim the track they want with a determined look in their eye.
If you want a track, it’s a pretty simple process of posting which track it is you wish to claim. I’ll be checking back frequently and updating the list with songs as they are claimed. There are a few conditions to claiming and it goes as follows;
- If two people claim a track, I give first dibs to who posted first.
- If you claim a track, I will send you a message to confirm a track claim
I should also note is you haven’t noticed already is that the track list lists certain songs together (as indicated by having a “+” symbol). Those who claim these tracks are expected to represent each of the tracks in their ReMix. If songs have been combined, it’s for one of several possible reasons. Either the songs carry a similar melody (Kart and Agatio’s main theme is sped up into the Karst and Agatio Battle Theme), the songs represent a certain event in the game (Colosso Starts and Colosso Battle Theme), or I simply felt that the songs carried a similar atmosphere or tone. The purpose of combining tracks was to make sure every track is represented in some way, while cutting down the amount of songs needed to complete the project.
Songs potentially can be broken apart, but I would like to encourage ReMixers to take on the challenge and work within these guidelines.
You are more then welcome to claim more then one song, but I’d like to recommend that no one go over working on 2 songs at a time. If you can adequately complete 2 songs and want to take on more you can, but again finish what you start first.
Additional Points
If you have any questions or things to suggest regarding the project, please feel free to contact me with a PM. When working on the project I will say that the best way to keep in touch is by using the Unleash the Alchemy forums, or to PM me on OCR. Keeping in contact through Instant Messaging isn’t the best since I’m barely on it, but I check forums and messages pretty frequently. Contacting me by e-mail should be a last resort in general as there is always a chance your letters will be lost into the junk pile.
Also I’d like to keep as much of the project under wraps from the public until it is ready for release. So I’m asking that you refrain from submitting songs into contests like Dwelling of Duels, or to be judged for OCR ect ect. If you really really really want to though, at least let me know and talk to me about it. The goal should be that when it’s released that people be surprised to hear ReMixes that they haven’t heard already.

Teaser:Here some of the work that's already been done...
* I really need a video editor, if you have video editing skills and the spare time it would be great if someone could fix the YouTube teaser. It wasn't supposed to get squished, and it may have not been edited to the best quality. I did it relatively quickly myself and I still have much to learn about video editing. If you want to video edit, your first task will be to fix the trailer which I'm well aware is not the best it could be.

There is not a single Jet Force Gemini remix on this entire site. This is so wrong.
There are at least three tracks from this game that could produce stellar remixes; unfortunately, the best one (IMO) I cannot find on the web in ready-to-listen format. So, here are the other two I have in mind:
Water Ruins/Lost Mine (Gets really good at 1:25)
If you want to hear the best one (Abduction) or need the other two in MP3 format, let me know, as I have all three.
I'd say if you wait and be patient that a Jet Force Gemini project will likely get underway in due time. I am personally a huge fan myself and want to see the game get some proper cred.
You guys should just keep an eye out in the future... although I can't say it will be as immediate as you may be looking for.

I noticed there was no subtitle to this album, for some fun I thought I'd throw out some nifty ideas;
DKC3 - Gone Banana's
DKC3 - Monkeying Around
DKC3 - Barrel of Primates
Well just thought I'd get the ball rolling on possible album subtitles to really add character to the project.
I may be up for doing the art for the project, but I'd say I'll wait till the projects at least half way done. I'm personally going to be heading up something that is going to be very time consuming in the next few months so we will have to see.
EDIT:
Actually I'll take up the project as long as I'm not expected to to have a completed product for at least a year. I actually just had a brilliant brain storm in terms of cover and art for this project. If you want to hear it PM me or message it, just trust me when I say it would fit and do Donkey Kong Country justice.

Ever heard Muda Morning done by cacomistle, chronolever and TheBeautyofGrind. Great song ... had it on my alarm clock to get me up in the morningActually, I'm looking forward to the vocal tracks, just to see if they can be done right. So far, the only track in OC Remix history that managed to get the vocals right was Injury's wonderful "Permutation".
Set the tone of my day right.
-
Why did you have to take it down off of YouTube?we just had to remove the video from youtube...i was just having fun fun fun. i knew this would happen. so i downloaded it
I would think that this is something that they would allow. Mind you I didn't see the video.
-
There's only one criticism I could make about the song... and that is that I've heard it before.Well, it's not exactly a negative review. He seems to only dislike Taucer's track.It was in DoD's Sidescroller month last year. It was awesome then, and it's still awesome now. I personally know I was secretly hoping for a new take on the Mines track, as it's one of my favorites.
I am curious to the changes to the song done to Trapped in the Minds, it seems to have been subtly changed to be a bit more a bit softer and a little more hazy and more atmospheric.
Anyhow I know this album has been in work for roughly 2 years though and obviously some songs have been released individually starting in 2009.
Still good though, can't argue with the quality of the song work. In the end it is about the product as a whole though. Which I think is a fantastic mix! If you have a song that good you may as well make sure it gets a proper release.
-
At the end of the day reviews are simply that. It's not like this review should keep people from listening to the album and discovering it for themselves, as it's being released free of charge across the internet.
Also at the end of the day I can see where personal taste cuts into the opinion, and the reviewer obviously prefers certain sounds over others. In any case press is press. Perhaps a few more people will check out the project then they originally would've thanks to that article.
Once the album is up and out then I'll post about it on some sites as well. Can't wait for the listening party! Not sure where it is though... someones hiding the location from me I bet.

For everyone to enjoy!
To commemorate the completion of this project, I give you victory fanfare music for all to enjoy.
Diddy's Victory
Dixie's Victory

Now it's only a matter of time until the listening party!
I'm bringing the rum and coke!
Sadly I think I can only share with myself unless Microsoft enables MSN to send physical objects through computers.

I was a tad sad to hear the N64 get hated on towards the middle of the show. Cause personally the N64 had so many awesome titles...from Super Mario 64, Star Fox 64, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Golden Eye, Banjo Kazooie, Jet Force Gemini, Perfect Dark, Mario Kart 64, Super Smash Bros., Rogue Squadron... also I actually had more fun with friends with the N64, as you had games where you could have 4 players.
But I digress... still a great show. Totally think Mega Man Zero series has an incredible soundtrack. Should be covered more.
-
I can always use a slave for life, so I may take up that project as well.If you set a Jet Force Gemini project in motion, in the name of Beanland, I will be your slave for life.I'd love to be a coordinator and motivator recruiter in those two projects. Since that post it's been brought to my attention that I should head some of these and I may just do that. First up though I think I'm going to head up Golden Sun once Serious Monkey Business is released and after Essence of Lime is completed as well.
So keep an eye out in May for these projects to possibly start. As soon as I have a bit more free time things may materialize.
Also Beanland is awesome, his musical style is memorable and iconic. Jet Force Gemini has one of the best soundtracks from a game done by Rare, it's so atmosphere and at other times mysterious, or driving. It needs a lot more attention and love then it has yet to receive (the game included). I hope I can find people on the site who would be interested in participating.
-
Everything you do is awesome, Mav. I wouldn't worry.
Thanks I really appreciate it!
I've had a lot more time with Essence of Lime, I jumped on this project probably 3 to 4 weeks ago.
I'm gonna go on a bit of a break after a while, but my next plans are to create album art to motivate people into doing remix projects centered around Golden Sun and Jet Force Gemini... that's right if I do the art maybe it will motivate people to remix the albums, lol.
We will see... I think art is a great way to recruit people into a project, so the next covers I do will be for projects that have yet to start.
-
I hope people will enjoy all the art that goes with the CD.
Completed the the disc art options yesterday and everything seems to be in line in order for release. Can't wait for the release myself!
-
I'm interested in it myself, would be a lot of fun. Not sure if I could do it 102% as fast as possible mind you. I've never speed run the game, but I know I can beat it really fast.Oh man, I'd love to do a race like this, but it's been far too long since I've 102%ed it. Anyone up for a fastest straight playthrough competition?I've memorized pretty much everything in the game by heart I've played it that much. So at least I'd know where everything is.
-
I have no problems with someone taking more time, I hope more people can be just as patient. I mean lets face it this project is what can be called an endeavor of love for the music of the game.Looks like I might've been too optimistic
- but just so everyone knows djp has been working real hard on his song. I know he has poured a ton of time into it, so let's relax here. Its been on high priority with him for a while.If someone feels a song isn't complete, or that they are unsatisfied with it then they should be given a bit more time to tweak. Cause in the end the final product should be something all who worked on it are at the very least satisfied.
Although I totally understand the way of an artist, always hoping to improve and make something better... some say art is never truly complete even. The mere hope is to find satisfaction with a piece of work.
By the way I thought I'd mention I've finished work and submitted the cover art up to OA, here's hoping he gets it. I believe every aspect of the packaging art has been completed and is set to go, Emunator was doing some final touches on portions of the cover art, and said he had finished his part, so this would make it complete now.
Also... is there still time to put in a donation through pay pal or something? Has the goal been reached? I know I'd personally shell out a contribution if there is a vague chance of getting a physical copy at some point.
Just curios on it all, lol. Can't wait to see the released product!

I see everything, and it both makes me so happy to see this finished, and simultaneously sad because I couldn't bring this project to fruition. ; _ ;
There are a lot of feelings inside of me as I listen. It is a beautiful remix of that happy village theme.
