  1. After listening to this more and more over the past few months, I now think this is one of the best arrangements on the site. The way each of the source tunes is tied together is absolutely brilliant, and something I probably could never imagine working until I heard. Seriously, nice work.
  2. before I discovered ocremix, i listened to video game midis and nothing else. i'm not kidding.
  3. stop trying to hit on her. she's happily married and told me she's thinking of issuing a restraining order against you.
  4. I was drunk and posting from my wii. that's difficult enough as it is without trying to sort through my naturally poor syntax at the same time.
  5. yes but YOU DID NOT PUBLICIZE AT ALL to the best of my knowledge. I only found it because I'm obsessive and would have never dug through all that random flash otherwise :3 what about the sm64 mix that liontamer constantly pisses and moans about. edit: or four vagaries of rapture and release or water music. well water music wasn't your best but just mentioning it before someone else does.
  6. Thank you. This is the type of answer I was looking for.
  7. most of his stuff is straight up covers, but one that I really like and is definitely ocr material is phendrana drifts. let me dig through my collection a little more.... when I make any assertion here, let it be known that I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ANYTHING IN MUSIC. ALL I DO IS LURK EVERYWHERE AND DOWNLOAD CRAP. Ailsean was releasing quite a bit through vgmix's second incarnation and in many dod's. many of his mixes are now probably borderline, even Dragon Dreams, which was very well received and won a dod one month. his only significant work that is certainly over the bar would be Trans-Transylvanian Orchestra, a collab he did with Chad Seiter and Victor Lawrence. I do have a special place in my heart for Zelda Sunshine, and now thinking about it, it might have a shot here even though it's pretty light on the arrangement side. chthonic never submitted Red Sphere, Blue Sphere from the s&k project. Please Let Me Help You (Come Inside) from the fruity loops project was pretty solid too, but it probably falls below the bar. Love Me All Night Long (D.M. Cruisin') by Dale North and Mustin is adorable and awesome, but I doubt they'll submit. I have no idea why Darkesword gave The Beautiful Traveler (Starlight Mix) to r:ts instead of ocr. In the Streets of Fayetteville by Diggi Dis is over the bar and released on the Bad Boys pseudo project. Ridley's Revenge by Dr. Fruitcake was not very well-received at vgmix, but I actually thought it was far superior to mario's tropical paradise, which was a very similar mix. Double Tall Chrono Latte by Fatty Acid was very solid and went completely under the radar. It's a departure from his normal style as well, even though it is still very chill. Planet Oil, a collab between gecko yamori and rayza, wasn't half bad and no one noticed it. Salutations by Halle-Bopp is an ancient dod entry that got no exposure because the metroid month there was so strong. Brinstar Minibossa by housethegrate came from the same dod and was similarly overlooked. israfel submit the rest of your crap for goodness sakes Welcome Home by Kaijin, another song off Bound Together Mazedude has a hell of a lot of unsubmitted stuff on his site from the all american project or whatever it was called. I was kinda meh on most of it except glow worm jim, which was mentioned above. was keyz to new junk city submitted? I forgot. if not, that too. Grapegarden, the "unnamed" arrangment by Neskimos is very good, although a bit drawn out. Magic Fountain by Nixdorux I felt is better than most of his stuff that made it on here. wait did that make it on here too... I'm confused... and not checking the factuality of my assertions. moonside meditation by po! never got on here did it? On Top of Jacob's Latter by Prophecy is a worthy track; as is a collab he did with Prophetess (whoever the hell that is) called Back to the Place I Once Knew If anyone missed them, make sure to check out Protricity's unsubmitted tracks from Kong in Concert, those being Rare Reminiscence and the unused Plight of Heroes (with vigilante). He also never submitted Tryst with the Enemy, the mix he used as an excuse to show up at vgmix and hack it. Quinn Fox has about a billion solid mixes from vgmix2 he never sent this way. Ryan8bit has been pumping out pretty good dod tracks for a while now... MUCH better than anything of his here. My favorite being Forlorn Dream, but since that really isn't my genre, I wouldn't know specifically which to recommend beyond that. SirNuts hasn't been keeping up with submitting his tracks here. The best of them I know is Interstellar Travelers. Scott Peeples had a handful of songs he never submitted. The most notable in my opinion was a remake of another inspiration, entitled Reiterated Inspiration. I also thought Decisive Battle and Quies Creperum were very good too. Shnabubula has an entirely unreleased opus based on Ender's Game, which he once told me was the best music he's ever written. I don't think they are hosted anywhere any longer. TO has a TON of solid tracks that are borderline here, but you'd probably like them if you enjoy the game's music. Most of them can be found on doulifee's competition hosting. Final Exam by The Wingless and Vigilante was never submitted for whatever reason. It's on The Wingless's site. zyko has made about forty three thousand remixes, few of which are actually here. I already mentioned the ones I thought to be most worthy... let me add Perchance to Dream with Waking Eyes and Of Futility and Hope to that list... although obviously they are both like 12 minute songs so he would have to recut them to submit them. again, this is done with zero fact checking outside of my hazy memory, so if some of this was actually submitted, excuse me.
  8. I agreed with everything you said in the rejection. I'm no mixer, but it doesn't seem like it would take too much effort to spruce up the drums and flute, which alone would likely get it passed. As I said, tighten it up a little bit.
  9. you people are testy. I was just wondering. the links from google are sketchy and mostly useless. that is why I asked this forum since maybe one of the many geeks here would have personal experience regarding its abilities and limitations. and even though the output is crap, it's still awesome to use it to watch youtube videos and such.
  10. i'm just wondering whether there has been any progress screwing with the system on a higher level, like the geeks who loaded a new os on the xbox.
  11. shut up. i'd rather use the big tv in my basement than my sketchy laptop if possible. stop being so anxious to act retarded
  12. anyone have any idea where/how i can add more browsing functionality to my wii? it doesn't play mp3s and refuses to load videos that are longer than 30 minutes long
  13. songs besides madame balamb: Unsubmitted due to Submission Violations: Timeless Hero by Luiza Suicide for Two Pianos by Bladiator virt lol Unsubmitted for I have no idea why: Linear Groove by chthonic (YES I'M STILL LOOKING AT YOU CHTH) JAZZ PIANO by Shnabubula Shiny New Ferrari by Luiza Warrior in my Longjohns by Trenthian Obsidian Ocarina by Unknown The Underdog by zyko and po! The Unforgiving Mist by zyko Chronicles by Sixto and Geoffrey Taucer (after they tighten it up a bit) Vector Point Engineering Water Buffalo by Prophecy La Hora es Tarde by housethegrate Norfair Tenement Blues by Neskimos ROBOTS vs. The BS Samurai by Mellogear The Ness Shot by Joshua Morse Medical Insurance by Joshua Morse Winters & Morse by Joshua Morse Peaceful Bean by Joshua Morse Everything else unsubmitted by Joshua Morse Rose of Solemn by Ashane Oil Spill by analoq Psi Piano Omega by Shnabubula that's all I got for now.
  14. complexity != better. there are two ways of looking at it. 1. whatever floats your boat, as long as you keep an open mind 2. music as art, with whatever definition of art as your objective standard. If you think everything is art, see 1. Most definitions of arts consist of attempting to portray an idea and to communicate something that can only be communicated through that medium. There is no reason why pop music cannot approach this level, although it may be hindered by trying to reach a broad audience. I don't see how Bach and Beethoven were any different in this regard (outside of being more talented), since, just as Kelly Clarksen follows the arbitrary rules of today's culture, classical dudes were similarly constrained. Probably even more so.
  15. you have a bizarre and annoying post style. are you high?
  16. wait now I remember something I don't like about pop. every song is 2:30. it's hard for any song to be that interesting if it's so short. honestly, almost all my favorite songs are 6+ minutes long.
  17. you know, forced memes are rarely considered a positive
