    in General Discussion

    I have talked to someone who owns the album. Here is exactly what it says:

    (BACK COVER)

    1. Invertebrate Retreat (Subterranean Remix) (Inspired by Earthworm Jim 2) Artist: Tommy Tallarico and Daniel Baranowsky

    (LINER NOTES - INSIDE)

    1. Invertebrate Retreat (Subterranean Remix) (Inspired by Earthworm Jim 2)

    <p> Tommy Tallarico Studios, Inc.

    Vocals by Daniel Baranowsky

    Guitars by Vig, Rap by Waleed Hawatky

    ---

    Phew...I'm relieved. Nonetheless, I had the feeling that they wouldn't go uncredited in the actual album. :)

    So...yeah...another congrats to those guys! Next accomplishment: get them to perform "Invertebrate Retreat" Live! :P

    I remember reading something in the press section of OCR about Invertebrate Retreat being featured in an Earthworm Jim album. Well, now we'll have to congratulate Daniel Baranowsky, Vigilante, and Zyko once again 'cause this song is also featured in the new album appropriately named "The Best of the Best: A Tribute to Game Music" from the link above! Awesome.

    Hmm...the song has an added "Subterranean Remix" in its title. Tommy possibly remixed it or something...even though I didn't notice anything different from the preview version. Speaking of that, there seems to be some really cool remixes in this album. I'm intrigued.

    Anyway, this is really cool news. Again, congrats to OCR and the dudes who made this awesome ReMix. One of my favorites. I just hope Tommy at least gives credit to you guys in some way. :)

    What's wrong with pop music?

    My problem with pop music is that everything sounds the same these days. Aside from some unique sounds from Justin Timberlake's latest release, I'm not feeling any vibe from other people. It's the same case with R&B.

    Man...the old days of George Michael and Micheal Jackson were the best.

    Love that Gooey bomb. An innovative and original weapon for Brawl. I wonder which game is it inspired from? It does look a bit like Morpheel/Amoeba from the Zelda series, and I do remember "Gooey" being Kirby's sidekick in Dreamland 3 for SNES.

    It took me awhile to adjust to the sound of the new album. Seriously, it's VERY different from the usual LP I know of.

    On one hand, excellent experimentation from their part. They seriously managed to pull off a couple of original stuff so that people will not call this album a "Hybrid Theory 2.0" or something. Love the fact that there are guitar solos now. Love Shinoda's extra contributions to the background vocals...especially the fact that he his own singing track "In Between"...I was taken aback by that one even though I know that Shinoda has a nice singing voice (he sang John Davis' part in the remix of "Pushing Me Away" in the Live in Texas album). Love the ambiance and classic rock influences in some of their tracks. The minimal hip-hop samples uses in some of the tracks manage to mesh well overall, too. Of course, Chester's voice is AWESOME. His vocal range is excellent as usual, and I think this is the first album in which Chester sings in an emotional almost-in-tears way (The first verses of "The Little Things Give You Away"). Personally, my highlights are "The Little Things Give You Away", "Hands Held High", "Shadow of the Day", "What I've Done"). Little Things and Shadow in particular are two tracks which really show the sound of their album.

    On the other hand, LP's hip-hop/metal hybrid tracks are officially gone in this album. That was THEIR sound. Now what's left of it is present in "Bleed it Out" (Rap and Hip-hop-like with the clapping samples and melody), although "No More Sorrow" has some pretty edgy metal riffs...could've used some rap vocals in that. It sucks that Shinoda doesn't rap except in two tracks and the hip-hop samples aren't present in all tracks...I'm especially in LOVE with "Hands Held High" and it's sad that this particular sound is gone now. I was also disappointed by the fact that there are some crummy tracks in the album...I loved every track of Meteora yet unfortunately there are some "Emo-ish" tracks in Minutes to Midnight which I couldn't get into at all..."Valentine's Day" in particular is just too emo. Their instrumental track, "Wake", quite frankly SUCKS and pales in comparison to the one they did for Meteora and one of the Underground Albums (Announcement Public Service).

    In short, LP's new album gives a very bad first impression yet some tracks in particular grow on you as you listen to them more. I feel that this is a love-it/hate-it album depending on who you ask.

    For fans of FFXI (me included), new expansion has been announced.

    Confirmed!!!

    Parasite Eve 3 Mobile

    Kingdom Hearts unvieling at TGS

    FFXIII and Versus XIII trailers same as Jump Feista but with a few new scenes.

    FFVII 10th Anniversary Ultimania announced (damn it SE, just announce the real freaking thing >< )

    PE3 mobile?! Are those guys nuts? Hopefully there's a platform version in the works. Seriously, you can't just move this really cool yet underrated series to a mobile phone.

    As for that FFVII title...seems like an enhanced port for PSP or something. I highly doubt it's the PS3 remake we've been all dreaming of since it's impossible that it'll be released this year.

    The Jack Thompson LOL thread

    lol...Jack can't touch Rockstar with any lawsuits after Take-Two finally stepped up against him in court. This so-called "settlement" between Jack and Take-Two is because Jack backed down like a coward. What an ass.

    Unfortunately, he can still speak freely of how games are "bad" for kids...which is what he's stupidly doing now. I mean...WTF with the whole "Wii/Manhunt 2" thing...this is just sad...it would be even sadder if Nintendo abides to Jack's parading and cancels the Wii version...

    If you ask me...Thompson is acting just like a kid, getting more attention than needed...

    Contrasting Extol, Martist has some pretty clear vocal samples. Maybe he intentionally put a lot of reverb on tbe vocals of the former track?

    My favorite track was always the intro one (Prophetic)...everytime I used to start the game I was so excited, bobbing my head as I pressed the start button. lol.

    Anyway, good luck on this, Prophet man. I agree with you about the game...its gameplay was just as good as the soundtrack. It's the most innovative version of Tetris I've ever played.

    ok, so the reaction I'm getting from this is pretty sweet.

    SwordBreaker, I have gotten your vocals and they're pretty rockin'. I'm just wondering if you're using a pro/semi-pro mic? The quality sounds a little weird when trying to mix it (otherwise I've found out I suck at mixing vocals D=!!)

    Plus it goes pretty well with Taucers guitar =D

    andyjayne, sweet sweet sweet sweet piano/e-piano. Is it possible to get each individual sample from you? High encoded MP3 is fine.

    Thanks, man. Glad you enjoyed it. :)

    I'm using a Shure SM57, which is what this community highly recommended. The weird quality could be a byproduct of the production I did with the vocals...it could be that I overcompressed them or something. Or it could be because I don't have a decent soundcard; I'm using my laptop's default SoundMAX soundcard and I'm plugging the mic directly into my laptop's microphone jack...

    BTW don't forget to post the track with everything mixed together. It'll be nice to hear the results.

    Mario Strikers Charged Intro FMV!!

    The first one kicks ass multiplayer-wise. Also, is it me or am I the only one who loves the soundtrack of the first one? Doesn't seem generic at all to me. Seems that the same composer is working on the sequel's music, but as you can see from the trailer it seems a lot more grittier.

    see this i think is pathetic

    HOLY CRAP THE GAME HAS ONLINE

    that shouldnt be a big deal

    It shouldn't be a big deal, but it is in Nintendo's standards. As the only console (not handheld) which hasn't adapted online gameplay to its full potential, this is a big deal for those who own a Wii. Granted, I wholeheartedly agree with the fact that it sucks that Nintendo's kind of late into 'the game'. Better late than never, though.

    Well considering that Strikers Charged has an online mode, I guess that the single player replay value will be quite good. It sucks that the online mode is regional instead of being worldwide, though.

    Man...I can't get enough of that FMV. Whoever remixes that rock track for OCR would be my hero. :P

    Thanks to The Hylia for bringing this teaser site to my attention. Man, oh, man...the FMV ROCKS. I love the atmosphere and style of Strikers Charged...it's even a lot cooler than the prequel. 11/10 for awesome cyberpunk-based style. 10/10 for music...awesome guitar-riffs. The only thing that annoys me is that there's no lip-syncing when characters yell out their catch-phrases, a problem which was also present in the previous game...

    If they make a real Mario action/adventure game with this type of cyberpunk graphics style, count me in (as long as they don't overdo it like what they did with Bomberman Act Zero for 360). Seriously, this type of freshness is what Mario games need.
