Any chance we could get vocal versions of all these instrumental tracks? It's not that I hate music without vocals, but it's so bland and meaningless without a message or story being told. So yeah, if someone could get on that it'd be great. Thx.
Sure, I'll see what I can cook up.

Hey, I got what you were going for, I've played the game dozens of times.
But I think there was a way you could have worked it in so that it ended less abruptly, which was the big complaint (though not from me).Hey at least there aren't any vocals in it.

I was sad that the panel NO'd Roller Disco, I really enjoyed that song. They just DON'T UNDERSTAND, man. I like how it's actually fairly disco-y and has some retro-sounding synths and drums. Also the gate synth near the end is really epic. Oh well. At least it's on the album.
Thanks for the kind words. I was (still am) surprised at the attention my song got when I slipped onto the project (that was over 2 years ago!), but I'm not suppressed it didn't pass the panel. I not sure how none of them "got" the ending though

As much as I hate the rating boards, this is a very good usage of it. Team fortress is definitely rated 15+ in most countries, and really its not a very graphic and vulgar game. However, I would never give it a lower rating because people under 15 on average simply wouldn't mesh well with the game's target audience. Likewise, every online game worth it's salt is at least rated 13+ despite any game content because the gamer simply because -I- know how I acted when I was 12 and no one would want me on their team, heaven forbid with a mic.

Thanks for posting my track! I've got some more stuff I can send over but I'm not sure what your policy is for multiple submissions.

Thanks for the recognition on the radio show. It's gonna be a kick-ass project!

Awww trust me I went through a lot of names before happening on Zylance. Speaking of which Larry you are right I like the capital better.
Geoffrey I already contacted Wes about it but if you'd like to take action right a way that's all good with me. I told him "zylance" lowercase but go ahead and uppercase me.
-
It was a consideration. And yeah, the more I look at my logo the more I get confused.
-
are you absolutely sure about that logo though it looks more like ZVIANŒ
Haha no its a work in progress. I don't have a website yet. Thanks for the criticism.

Thanks for the protip. You figure I've been around here long enough I would know to ask larry.

...and is replaced with:
Just as charmander must one day evolve into charmeleon, I too must hold back from pressing b and evolve into a more 21st century name:
zylance
Reasons, for those who care:
1. I was tired of being associated with this "Zoola Records" thing (try typing zoola into google)
2. I came up with that name in 6th grade as a joke - hell it was my first email address on AOL of all things.
3. I have changed significantly as a remixer since my first (and only) mix posted here, and with the upcoming release of the monster DKC2 project I feel like this would be a good time to make the change.
I would like to leave my mix on this site tagged as Zoola, especially because it was so long ago and would just be annoying to go back and fix it. However, look out for some new mixes by zylance in some upcoming projects and maybe a few OCRemixes.

If you would like to use my recently released commercial album that can be arranged. Give me an email at johntorkington@gmail.com if you are interested.
You can find the album at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/torkingtonjohn

Nice!, I don't think I've seen a netbook used as a DAW before. Cool photo too.
I wrote 3 songs on my latest album using my 701 EEEpc running Cubase SE3 with stock VSTs.
-
I can't believe you would have the AUDACITY to take my beautiful, COMPLETED town remix I made nearly 5 years ago off the project.
Actually, thanks. Did you listen to that atrocity? I don't even think I have a copy anymore.

Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls

Sorry for the double post, but my album is back in stock if any of you were waiting on orders.
-
Glad you all are enjoying it - I'm seeing quite a web hits from here. I'm sending more CD's to be printed, so don't worry about the "Currently out of stock" image. Or of course you could get yourself a digital copy.

Congrats on finishing a project like this.
Poked around the previews a bit... No Headphones Required (the track) sounds like Tranquility Base - Surrender.
I'm taking this as a huge complement- I love Tranquility Base.

Greeting, OverClocked Remix community.
I am proud to present you my very first commercially released album, No Headphones Required.
Written and produced all 2009, John Torkington's first commercially released album is finally making the rounds. What has been described as a powerhouse of sound with a decidedly clean feel, this dance trance electronic blend is sure to please all fans of electronic music.
The first half of the album is John's venture into electric-rock, house, and electronica with a hip hop feel. Be prepared to be immersed in glichy beats, thick pads and melodic basslines.
New to John's mixes is Katie Hardy, a silky singer with a powerful performance in two of the 10 tracks on "No Headphones Required". These tracks are a side of John never heard before- lush vocals topping an immense sound bed, reaching into the pop genre with "I Didn't Mean to" and cooling down with "The Silence".
Just when things start to mellow out, John brings out a sonic assault with "Mindful Prospects", a clear throwback to the trance of yesterday. After the nostalgia John ends the album with the epic trance / R&B title track "No Headphones Required", a seven minute trip through the fundamentals of electronic music.
As a bonus, two tracks written and released in 2007 are available on "No Headphones Required". "Mechanics ('07)" is the basis behind the track of the same name in the official track list, and "Anatrance" combines a traditional trance sound-scape with a big-beat feel.
Before I even begin to explain to you how thrilled I am to release this I just want to let this community know that without the support, direction and influence OCRemix has given me over my five year stay here this work would not exist. Tying music to videogames is exactly what my 14 year old brain needed to get me back into preforming and certainly to start writing. I have met so many fabulous musicians at such a young age that music has become ingrained in my persona.
Sappy stuff aside, I am stoked about this release. It is my best work by far, the product of a year of the labor of love. I am clearly influenced by many of the talented artist of OCR, namely our favorite son Zircon (who's work clearly convinced me to write in the first place) and his breaks, Fishy and his guitar-electronic style, bLiNd and his clean trance sound, and many more.
There are many links to samples and write-ups about this album - pick your poison.

PS: To those of you whose projects I'm on, sorry for the delays! This is what I've been up to!

How can anyone like that "It's called a road it's called a rainbow road" track?!
You are thinking of the Gamecube version. That guy sings along with that one.
-
I have an idea for a mix based on the final bosses of the mother series, so I'll place a tentative dib on that if possible. It will probably be a while before I can get anything done as I am dependent on a guitarist friend of mine.
-
Ok that was the best 2 v 2 I've played in a while.
-
I had no clue you were T-Bag...good job on your DKC 2 track
Haha, thanks man. I changed my handle to something a bit more... edgy.
And thanks, I can't wait for the release.
DKC2: Serious Monkey Business Listening is finished!
