One of my finest moments.

Thanks for your thoughtfulness on this info and I'll answer this as best as I can. 1. Have at it. 2. We need to get those added back on the live site, and they are indeed part of the catalog. djp needs to either find the old writeups or just put in some new ones if the original ones are lost to time. 3. That's more of a question for the MusicBrainz community. We use straight quotation marks, but the style on MB doesn't matter to us. Keeping this consistant across many entries is a huge pain, but hopefully something can be scripted. 4. What DarkeSword said is correct. That said, I don't mind the "ReMoved" designation. It's not a naming convention that was official from OCR, sure, but it's a logical fan-made styling for pieces that were previously part of the catalog, and I understand the desire to track that (I have every "ReMoved" track myself). 5. The implication there is that the track in question was somehow stolen, which it wasn't. It was posted, but then we discovered that the source tune originated from a Pokemon anime score rather than the game it was referenced from, so the source tune was deemed ineligible for an OC ReMix. It could be called "ReMoved", sure. If it were a case of literally stealing material w/o attribution (which we've had before in the very early days), then it wouldn't merit an entry. 6. Have at it, and we're just honored that @CyberSkulland others give their time to ensure everything is cataloged!

HEROES TRIUMPH with BadAss: Paragons & Renegades!! December 1, 2020 Contact: press@ocremix.org FAIRFAX, VA... THE WORLD NEEDS HEROES!! OverClocked ReMix today released its 75th arrangement album, BadAss: Paragons & Renegades. Rather than marshaling a fourth BadAss album centered on video game villains, BadAss album series directors David L. Puga & Pieter "Pavos" van Os have returned with a new focus, celebrating several of the most BadAss heroes of video games. The two-disc album features 18 unflinching arrangements that honor both stoic & heroic "paragons" as well as bold & audacious "renegades" in styles and genres including cinematic orchestral, piano, rock, EDM, punk, funk, and more. BadAss: Paragons & Renegades is available for free download at https://badass-pr.ocremix.org. This album was made to highlight how BadAss these video game protagonists are, and honor them with music worthy of their heroics. BadAss: Paragons & Renegades was made by fans, for fans, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of the publishers or developers of the original games; all original compositions are copyright their respective owners. "I felt like the trilogy was complete and I did everything I could with the BadAss formula," shared album co-director Pieter "Pavos" van Os. "But David and I (and others) always teased each other with 'Well, one day there should be a GoodAss…' And since GoodAss isn't a great name, and since we went for a separation of genres (bombastic and/or more peaceful on disc 1, and way more aggressive and raw on disc 2), this is: Paragons & Renegades! And who knows, perhaps there will be a Paragons & Renegades: Volume 2 in the future?" 21 artists from around the world collaborated on musical tributes to many of gaming's most heroic (and some unlikely!) champions, including: Caleb (Blood) Cecil Harvey (Final Fantasy IV) Crono (Chrono Trigger) Death (Darksiders II) Doom Slayer (Doom series) Duke Nukem (Duke Nukem 3D) Earthworm Jim Eshe (Sundered) Ezio Auditore da Firenze (Assassin's Creed series) Fi (The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword) Firebrand (Gargoyle's Quest) Geralt of Rivia (The Witcher 3) Madeline (Celeste) Magus (Chrono Trigger) Nero (Devil May Cry 5) Samus Aran (Metroid series) Simon Belmont (Super Castlevania IV) ToeJam & Earl BadAss: Paragons & Renegades is OC ReMix's fourth album in the BadAss series, turning over a new leaf after the villain-centric predecessor albums of BadAss: Volumes I, II & III released in 2011, 2013, and 2016. "This is a hero-themed album & maybe we can all use a reminder to better days when defeating evil and being a hero was as simple as loading up a game and pressing a few buttons," recommends co-director David L. Puga. "It's become harder to see the better days, and even harder to see the heroism in the world. My hope is that this album leaves you energized, feeling badass, and most importantly, with some good-ass memories."

It's about damn time, and I'm proud to present the newest in the BadAss line, Paragons & Renegades: A BadAss Heroes Album! It's finally here, you guyses! To commemorate this occasion, I'm gonna tell you a secret: I first started BadAss to have a different sound and tone when compared to what OCR had been putting out to that point, at least in overall style. Much as I loved all the albums to that point, I wanted something meaner and darker; I had just come off of The Dark Side of Phobos and wanted more of that while at the same time not being tied down to a single game, so we joined up with KNGI and made it so. The making of BadAss 1 and 2 were some of the most fun moments I've ever had making music & I look back fondly on those days. We made some kickass tunes, but I like to think it was the friends and memories we made along the way that make these albums good & I think that's pretty kickass! When Pieter and I first started planning a hero-themed fourth album in the BadAss line in 2019, the only goal we really had was to have fun. I can't speak for Pieter, but I missed having fun making music. I'd been doing contract work composing & sound designing and I was getting burnt out by it all, but I remembered those days making BadAss 1 and 2 and how much fun it was. We were experimental & I think the tracks that come out of a BadAss album show that. So, we started BadAss Heroes if only to be experimental, to let the music guide us, and to just have fun. A lot has happened in the world since then, and so have my reasons for working on this album. This is a hero-themed album & maybe we can all use a reminder to better days when defeating evil and being a hero was as simple as loading up a game and pressing a few buttons. It's become harder to see the better days, and even harder to see the heroism in the world. My hope is that this album leaves you energized, feeling badass, and most importantly, with some good-ass memories. And, hell, if we can inspire a little bit of heroism in you hardcore style, well, that'd be awesome too! - David L. Puga Welcome to Paragons & Renegades: A BadAss Heroes Album! A true spin-off from the main BadAss series focusing on heroes this time around and having two discs with their own feel. Why not a BadAss: Boss Themes: Volume 4? Well, as I wrote in the album write-up of BadAss 3, I had been working non-stop on BadAss since its never-released spiritual predecessor, Crescendo to Chaos. BadAss 1 was really an experiment for us (I was just an assistant director then) and so was the music. A genre-style album, not focusing on a certain soundtrack, born from the KNGI community almost more than from the OCR community… it was new in many ways. In BadAss 2, I think David really found his niche of genre and we made it even rawer and focused than the first one. With BadAss 3, I took over as director and had my own staff without David. It gave me the opportunity to grow more as a director and give it more my (genre) niche and vibe: more eerie and more bombastic - more like a movie soundtrack. After that, I felt like the trilogy was complete and I did everything I could with the BadAss formula. But David and I (and others in the project threads) always teased each other with "Well, one day there should be a GoodAss…" And that day has come! We're going back to something new, something fresh. Bringing different genres to the mix, having a new focus, being able to welcome new and additional mixers to the BadAss family and trying to figure out how to make something work all over again... It was the fresh energy I needed to direct another album, this time with David beside me! It has been a difficult one-and-a-half years for me (i.e. medically speaking), so making the time to work on this album and make a mix for it was very challenging for me this time around. But it has been a great experience slowing down and picking up again with David picking up when I couldn't and vice versa. In the end, it was really fun doing this as it felt like two buddies making something new! And since GoodAss isn't a great name, and since we went for a separation of genres (bombastic and/or more peaceful on disc 1, and way more aggressive and raw on disc 2), this is: Paragons & Renegades! And who knows, perhaps there will be a Paragons & Renegades: Volume 2 in the future? - Pieter van Os (Pavos)
