Opening piano sequencing was stiff but solid enough. The beats and pizz strings brought in around :20 were too loud. The soundscape was decetly filled out when the main melody kicked in at :41, though the instrumentation was kind of simplistic save for the effects. The electrosynths were pretty loud as well. The production was weird in that everything was pretty loud, except the countermelodic writing (mostly the bowed string parts; also the bass-like part from 1:39-1:48), yet the balance was off. The beats needed to be toned down instead of rolling over other instruments. Not a fan of the some of the generic synth sounds used here as well. Arrangement-wise, this was actually pretty decent, IMO. It can be viewed as aimless, but it's almost a quasi-improvisational arrangement that I wasn't too bothered by. It does come off pretty liberal aside from the one straightforward section, so grounding it with more source usage would be nice. Ultumately, I felt the balance among the parts was the main thing that held this back; the beats shouldn't be so loud, the loudest parts all need to be pulled back and the countermelodic writing needs to not be buried. Fixing those along with sprucing up some of the more generic/out-of-the-box synths in there could hook this up. NO

Finish dat shit!

Annnd we're back. Thanks!

While I don't mind what basically sounds like direct sampling, the lead at :49 basically sounds like the NES original and could stand to sound a bit more unique compared to the original. Not necessarily a huge deal IF there were more substance going on with the rest of the arrangement; sometimes that's the case, sometimes that's not the case. Agreed with the others that the structure ultimately is repetitive. The stutters at 2:51 were cool, but the track still felt like it was just being thrown on a loop with the stutters merely obscuring that there wasn't much else in the way of developing or evolving the arrangement further. I thought the production and balance were decent, but once the track picks up at 1:10, it's basically repeating itself until the end, and you need more dynamic contrast/variation than the what's there now, which is good and clearly headed in the right direction. In the effort to include some more ideas, you don't need to go crazy with over-the-top stutters or wildly changing what's here, but some subtle dropoffs and variations in your instruments and patterns could push this over the top. This is a good foundation here, Mike, so don't be discouraged! NO (resubmit)

Cool intro. Would have loved to hear more bitcrushed kind of stuff going on later. Well, there's definitely some personalization, and some more notable expansion via the freestyle guitar in the second half, but ultimately the structure still feels a bit too close to the original. It's tough to break off from the original when the tempo's the same and the instrumentation sounds chippy much like the original. It's really a matter of whether or not one thinks the arrangement, while possessing some legit interpretation, is still too conservative or not. It goes in the right direction, but IMO not far enough once the main portion of the theme arrives at 1:07. There are still more things that can be done with structure, or tempo, or rhythm, or instrumentation, or mood, etc. to make this stand more on its own. Good stuff so far, and I won't have a fit if this passes, but I don't think it's there yet on the arrangement/interpretation side. Just a bit too structurally conservative for me without enough compensation elsewhere. NO (resubmit)

Never a fan of those extremely generic electrosynths like the ones opening the track. Good stuff with the piano that came in much later on at 1:46. Whoa. Bass at :14 is definitely loud, but sounds rather muddy. The bass being so beefed up fills out the soundscape some, but the overall mixing sounds needlessly lossy. Would love to hear that tweaked a bit. You can have that beefy punch to the bass while clarifying the other instrumentation. That said, the annoying electrosynths only were a big issue in the beginning. This one's on the lower tier of what I could pass, just being transparent, but ultimately the sound quality was barely serviceable enough and the arrangement was solid, which carried it. YES (borderline)

I've only heard the resubmitted version, for the record. From reading the decision threads of the previous submissions, the production and mixing of your sounds are what's mainly holding this back, Ben. That's still the case now, though everything's seemingly improved from version to version. The arrangement approach is in the right direction, but the instrumentation choices and mixing still don't sound quite cohesive enough. The intro sounded pretty sweet, though the bass around :48 felt a bit lacking in body (but got the job done). The electrosynth introduced at :53 was kind of vanilla-sounding, but serviceable. It didn't quite click with the other instrumentation. The electro-kicks started to stick out as too loud and busy at 1:27. It's got good body, but is (at least to me), too far upfront. Interesting use of the synth pad around 1:38; it should sound warmer, and so should the piano, which are both kind of dry. Basically a repeat of :52's build and verse around 3:24 (though the different lead and the addition of the chippy sounds was sweet). The dynamic curve of this piece was also relatively flat. The generic synths at the foundation of the mix never really changed up much once they gradually came in around :53; it was basically the synth padding, kicks, vanilla synths and piano hovering at around the same energy levels for about 4 minutes. I'd definitely need to hear the input of other Js to better articulate these issues and may come back to this afterward, but what I can say for now is that this still isn't quite there yet. Don't be discouraged, because I think you're already maybe 75% of the way there. Your arrangement creativity is there; now the harder part is getting all the sounds and articulations to click together properly and create more dynamic contrast in the way the piece develops over time. NO (resubmit)

I've only heard the resubmitted version, for the record. Very interesting and fresh arrangement approach here, Nicholas. The performances aren't tight in some sections (more noticeable e.g. :37-:55). When you have relatively few instruments and thin textures where the instruments are pretty exposed, very upfront stuff like the guitar should be performed tighter so that timing or note flubs don't stick out this much; we definitely allow for mistakes hear and there, but overall the flow needs to stay reasonably strong. Arrangement-wise, this was an easy pass. The sound quality sounded kind of lossy, but was alright. But the performance, which has a lot of quality and character, needs to be improved another step or two before this felt like it was fully clicking. Can't say enough how fully I agreed with OA, even having not read his vote until after I wrote my own; we're hearing the same issues. Don't be discouraged at all. I think you could definitely get the timing a bit tighter on this piece or apply those criticisms to your future pieces, but either way you're on the road to getting something approved here and posted if you keep at it. I loved listening to this one and hearing this creative take on Ky Kiske's theme. Let's improve it another step further! NO (resubmit)

Yeah, right from :47, the robotic stiffness of the guitar sequencing sticks out too much. Love the treatment of the theme overall though, which was a surprisingly catchy source tune. Wow, the track was SPARSE at the dropoff at 1:25. The drumming introduced there needs to fill up the space more while we're waiting for more elements to come in. The low encoding hurt the sound quality (we need at least 192kbps now, anyway), but totally agreed with Vinnie that the stiff sequencing was what ultimately dragged this down. I'm also agreed that more overt references to the source tune in the second half of the track would make the source use more obvious. Definitely resubmit this one, CJ, it's going in the right direction! NO (resubmit)

Pretty cover-ish, but nicely personalized instrumentation. The energy's a bit subdued due to relative emptiness in the textures -- it's arguably thin, but I think adequate; the space is filled out OK. The mixing's OK, but a bit weaker than it should be; it almost sounds like some highs got cut that prevents the performance from sounding as upfront as it probably should. Not a huge deal, overall. The ending was also a bit sudden and not a strong resolution, but that said, I'm feeling the arrangement all the way. It gets a lot more right than it gets wrong, and has a mellow approach that ultimately shows off a lot creativity. YES

OC ReMix Presents Final Fantasy: Random Encounter! June 18, 2012 Contact: press@ocremix.org FAIRFAX, VA... OverClocked ReMix today released its 35th arrangement album, Final Fantasy: Random Encounter. The album pays tribute to the original Final Fantasy, released by Square in 1987 for the Nintendo Famicom (a.k.a. the Nintendo Entertainment System). Featuring twenty-one tracks from twenty artists, Random Encounter represents the second directorial endeavor of Brandon Strader and is available for free download at http://encounter.ocremix.org. Random Encounter sports a diverse roster of musicians, showcasing veterans and newcomers from video game music communities OverClocked ReMix and The Shizz. The original Final Fantasy was the breakout game soundtrack for the then 28-year-old Nobuo Uematsu, who quickly became one of the most renowned game composers of all time. Album musicians honored Uematsu's influential soundtrack by arranging it in a number of styles, with a strong focus on guitar and heavy metal. Random Encounter was made by fans, for fans, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Square Enix; all original compositions are copyright their respective owners. "For the last two years, a group of brothers united in metal worked together to create the most brutal album to ever grace the halls of OverClocked ReMix. This album is the result of three things: 1) an immense love for Nobuo Uematsu and his work, 2) an immense love for metal, and 3) the kind of comraderie that only the most grim and frostbitten of metalheads will ever know," said director Brandon Strader. "Words can't express the level of gratitude I have for everyone who helped this album become what it is today. We're very happy with this album, and I personally consider most of these remixes to be the definitive fan-remix versions of these classic songs." About OverClocked ReMix Founded in 1999, OverClocked ReMix is an organization dedicated to the appreciation and promotion of video game music as an art form. Its primary focus is ocremix.org, a website featuring thousands of free fan arrangements, information on game music and composers, resources for aspiring artists, and a thriving community of video game music fans. ### Preview it: Download it: http://encounter.ocremix.org Torrent: http://bt.ocremix.org/torrents/Final_Fantasy_-_Random_Encounter.torrent Comments/Reviews: http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=40366

Pretty cool story behind the arrangement, with Brandon using halc's first 38 seconds as the inspiration and base behind the arrangement, then building his own pseudo-halc/Strader collab. I wasn't disappointed by anything here. I thought the structure worked out nicely, keeping a pretty steady energy level and providing variations through subtle instrumentation changes and dropoffs. Loving the creative treatment of the source the whole way through. Nice work, and a solid part of a VERY stacked FF1 album. Props to Brandon for his dedication bringing all of it together! YES

Any luck on uncovering the old files?

Didn't hear the first version, but just throwing a quick co-sign on this one after the fact. The handling of the source was relatively straightforward, but the original was there in spades. Even if the dropoffs and early builds could make this seem liberal, I didn't find it to be. I thought the only thing SonicThHedgog made was bad posts. Congrats, bro, you're the new Nekofrog! Welcome! YES

Offhand, ilp0, fredrikd and Vurez sound like potentially great fits for this. It's not controversial, but I noticed that too before seeing the Q here, so might as well double the ask about that. Also, would the composer retain ownership of their soundtrack (e.g. same situation as Super Meat Boy)? It's just one opinion, but I find composer's retaining rights encourages them to promote their work harder, since there's more incentive.

I saw this thread and thought it was an interesting idea, so I made a big list. It's just my personal feel for "quirky" (peculiarity of character) as a song descriptor, mostly thinking of mixes with "quirky" rhythms, instrumentation and/or deviation from the mood of the source material. That said, I just did a short sweep, so it's not the be-all-end-all comprehesive list, especially for such a subjective word. Anyway, have fun with it and TRY EVERYTHING! --------------------------------------------------------- • 7th Guest 'Fat Dance' by "The Fat Man" George Alistair Sanger http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00741/ • A Boy and His Blob 'Cyborg Blobby' by Mazedude http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00881/ • ActRaiser 'Fill More Funk' by djpretzel http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00541/ • Adventures of Bayou Billy 'Trippin' on Alligators' by Mazedude http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00808/ • Akumajo Dracula 'Mucho Dollar Care a Junk CIA' by Shnabubula http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01289/ • Banana 'Slumber Party' by Grodan Grobi http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00059/ • Battletoads 'Bird Guy Jam' by Kumeelyun http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00292/ • Battletoads 'Toads in the Suite' by Mazedude http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR02396/ • Blaster Master 'Amphibian' by wRenchpilot http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00350/ • Bubble Bobble 'Hillbilly Rodeo' by djpretzel http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00014/ • Castlevania 'garlic' by posu yan http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01776/ • Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance 'Behold the Winged Cathedral' by Shnabubula http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01456/ • Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance 'Swingin' with Death' by Nase http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01924/ • Cauldron II 'It's Binary, Baby!

Your post is ridiculous. You're unreasonable for treating one post as representative of the collective consciousness of an entire community. One person saying "God sucks" doesn't reflect anything about OC ReMix. Some guy was dumb on the internet. It happens. OC ReMix isn't a God-hating forum. Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Atheist, Agnostic, Wiccan, whatever, all are welcome, because our community isn't about exalting or bashing religions, it's about video game music. Move on.

The FF7 album had a FLAC release, so no worries about those 2. Thanks so much for Jueeeeeeese.

Loved it from the moment I heard it. Lovin' the groove bias.
