  1. OC ReMix & Eidos Montreal Present Deus Ex: Sonic Augmentation March 20, 2013 Contact: press@ocremix.org FAIRFAX, VA--In collaboration with Eidos Montreal, OverClocked ReMix is announcing its 39th arrangement album, Deus Ex: Sonic Augmentation. This album was made as a tribute to the original Deus Ex, released in 2000 for the PC, and features eight tracks by ten artists inspired by the game's futuristic, dystopian world, with nods also to its sequels Deus Ex: Invisible War and Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Sonic Augmentation is featured for free streaming and download on the "OC ReMix" tab of Eidos Montreal's official Deus Ex Facebook page at http://facebook.com/DeusEx, with two new tracks unlocked each week until all eight are unveiled. The complete package, including lossless versions, is available at http://augment.ocremix.org. "In collaboration with OC ReMix, the world's #1 online video game music remix organization, original composer Alexander Brandon and the OC ReMix team have completely remixed and reimagined the slammin' sounds of the original Deus Ex soundtrack to bring them to you like you've never heard before," said Eidos Montreal's Adam Badke in an announcement on the company's blog. The album includes several heavy hitting OC ReMixers and game composers including Alexander Brandon collaborating with Jimmy Hinson (Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Mass Effect 2), as well as Andrew "zircon" Aversa (Soulcalibur V, Monkey Island 2 Special Edition) and Jillian Aversa (Soulcalibur V, Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary) and many more. Album director Larry Oji adds, "Even if you've heard other music from all of the contributors here, all ten of them presented ideas and sounds different than what you're used to hearing from them. Get ready for a different side of these talented composers and arrangers, as well as a different side to Deus Ex. With a focus on the original game alongside representation of both sequels, and Alexander Brandon himself being involved, there's a little something for every DX fan. Everyone did a great job capturing and expanding on the feel of the series in their own unique, interpretive ways - after all, sonic augmentation is what we do!" Previous OC ReMix albums include Donkey Kong Country 2: Serious Monkey Business, Mega Man X: Maverick Rising, and the official soundtrack to Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix in partnership with Capcom. One of their upcoming albums nearing completion is the highly anticipated, Kickstarter-funded Final Fantasy VI: Balance and Ruin.

Even today, people joke that when they're reminded of it, they immediately have to go and reinstall it. That's how infectious it is. A critical part of the game's indelible impression is the music, which is why I was excited when Kyle Augustson-Stallock, then Deus Ex: Human Revolution's community manager, floated the idea of us creating a ReMix album back in October 2010. When I asked the OCR staff and community to come up with an arrangement EP, I shouldn't have been surprised that they did such a great job capturing and expanding on the feel of the DX series in their own unique, interpretive ways. After all, sonic augmentation is what we do. Even if you've heard other music from all of the contributors here, all ten of them presented ideas and sounds different than what you're used to hearing from them. Get ready for a different side of these talented composers and arrangers, as well as a different side to Deus Ex. With a focus on the original game alongside representation of both sequels, there's a little something for every DX fan. Special thanks to Kyle Augustson-Stallock for originally commissioning the album and establishing the framework for us to work with. Kyle is great to hang with in person, and it's always an honor to collaborate with legit OC ReMix fans in the games industry who know we're passionate about what we do. A big thanks to Eidos Montréal's André Vu, Adam Badke, and Valérie Bourdeau for seeing Sonic Augmentation through to completion and working hard to get this music into your hands. Special thanks also to Alexander Brandon (two-time contributor here, how awesome is that!) and Michiel van den Bos for enjoying the album, as well as Deus Ex: Human Revolution audio director Steve Szczepkowski for his kind words on the project. Much love to the artists for their seemingly limitless creativity, Andrew "OA" Luers for some really slick album art that I did my best to augment, my wife Paige for her patience and encouragement, and David "djpretzel" Lloyd for starting OC ReMix, a place where video game music is celebrated as a true form of artistic expression. Last, but not least, thank you to you the fans who listen to OC ReMix and go out of their way to spread the word. We like you the best of all. - Larry Oji (Liontamer)
  4. ReMixer name - Mak Eightman real name- Max V. Kravchenko email address- userid: 32137 Submission Information: Title - "Find Me" link to remix - attached Name of game arranged - Castlevania: Bloodlines System: Genesis Name of individual song arranged - Mysterious Curse(password menu) Link to the original soundtrack - Vampire Variations II project Director: Chernabogue Hi! SD3's lvl-up theme was my best remix in my opinion. So here is another project and another short source - another attempt to make soething nice. Thanks!
  5. They make a good point. Where does "The Sky, Clouds, and You" (Chu Chu's theme) even appear in this arrangement? Damned if I know. It could be referenced somewhere in the first 1:34, but I'm not making it out there or elsewhere. All I recognize here so far is "Flight."
  6. Pretty interesting stuff back in the day. Definitely a liberal take on the Prelude, but I couldn't disagree more with the last comment. I found it very intriguing when I first heard it in '02, and while it lacks some polish in its age, it shows what can be done creatively with a piece of VGM.
  7. Or you're just anal retentive about what themes are allowed. That's pretty much it.
  8. The cutoff potentially seems purposeful for whatever reason AFAIK, as it's same length as the clean version (but there's different horn tomfoolerly at the end). But Stevo can shed more light on it. The project file for it was lost, so I didn't have the leeway to ask about a different version without the cutoff.
  9. Nice for this one to finally see the light of day! Glad to have had a hand in rescuing it the FIRST time Arek cancelled it. [Preparing for hate on PrototypeRaptor's "So Easy" in 5... 4... 3... 2... ]
  10. OC ReMix Presents Kirby Super Star: Milky Way Wishes March 11, 2013 Contact: press@ocremix.org FAIRFAX, VA--OverClocked ReMix today released its 38th arrangement album, Milky Way Wishes: A Kirby Super Star Tribute. This album was made as a tribute to Kirby Super Star, released in 1996 for the SNES, and its original music by Jun Ishikawa and Dan Miyakawa. It features 23 tracks by 21 artists arranged in styles including chiptune, rock, ambient, folk, hip hop, and ska, and is OC ReMix's second album dedicated to Nintendo's pink puffball following 2005's Kirby's Adventure: Rise of the Star. Milky Way Wishes also includes diverse, storybook-style visual artwork by a dedicated group of fans, inspired by the plot of Kirby Super Star. The album is available for free download at http://milkyway.ocremix.org. This album was produced to help promote video game music, was made by fans, for fans, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Nintendo or HAL Laboratory; all original compositions are copyright their respective owners. Alongside co-director Drew "halc" Wheeler, who organized most of the album's later progress, Niraj "Arek the Absolute" Sharma directed Milky Way Wishes for nearly 8 years, OC ReMix's longest-running development period for an album. "What an amazing journey this has been," Sharma recalled. "Suffice to say, the production of this was definitely a unique experience. Definitely stressful, but memories I would not trade for the world. I want to thank every single person who was involved during the development of this project." Previous OC ReMix arrangement albums include Donkey Kong Country 2: Serious Monkey Business, Mega Man X: Maverick Rising, and Sonic the Hedgehog: The Sound of Speed. One of their upcoming albums nearing completion is the highly anticipated, Kickstarter-funded Final Fantasy VI: Balance and Ruin.

  11. Cool; that's been wrong since before I even joined the staff then. It'll be fixed on the site the next time the database is synced.
  12. I'll definitely have a vote on this eventually, so please keep this vote open. I'd certainly like to compare this to the breakdown as many of you have done.
  13. Wow, what a youngblood. Always cool to hear what other fans discover first. You never know how relatively new it'll be!

  15. Yeah, I really wasn't a fan of much of the instrumentation. The string articulations in particular were poor and just came off as sloppy compared to nearly everything else. The oboe was flat as well. They're serviceable, but it's a shame, because a lot of the other instrument choices also sounded pretty sweet. On the seesaw of what works vs. what doesn't, at least more of it works. The arrangement carries it, and I liked the approach, but this isn't something I can get immersed in on account of the flaws. I won't make the perfect the enemy of the good, but if this were closer to perfect, that'd be nice. YES (borderline)
