Oh wait, is very important? Great haste! Project of completion!

Looooooooool You guys are funny. Stay patient, I haven't forgotten about anything. We're in the process of polishing up one last critical track to make sure the album is as strong as possible. In the meantime, please feel free to continue idly speculating and bickering about the release date, your suffering makes me happy >:] No, seriously. The good news is coming and the time we're spending on these last few updates will be worth it in the long run. When you consider the number of tracks on this project vs. its lifespan, it's likely one of the fastest projects in OCR's history so you all don't have it *that* bad

This has fast become my favorite halc album to date. I love how you've embraced the chill with this one, while still keeping the glitchy, futuristic flavor that you introduced in your Zero-G series of albums. Retro Machines is definitely my favorite, but this is a great listen all the way through. <3

I'll hop on whatever car/plane/boat/etc. you're taking, I just need to figure out how to get back in time for classes, since they start the day after Mag for me... I'm not missing this again, though. I'll work something out.

Hi there, fellow Phoenix dweller Sorry I don't really have much time to leave a full-on review (I'm just listening to this on cheapo speakers on my lunch break) but this is REALLY nice Your soloing around the theme is just fantastic and you have a nice hybrid of sounds here. I could totally imagine sitting back in a nice lawn chair with a cold drink in hand, letting this song loop for hours and just drifting off into bliss. I feel like the first half would benefit from an acoustic hand percussion/shaker set instead of the electronic fills you've got now, and honestly I think you would be better off redoing the percussion overall. I think you've got a great opportunity to keep the organic vibe strong even when it goes into a dance groove by using an acoustic hand percussion kit, and I personally would love to hear how that would sound. Also, sorry for the derailment here, but kudos to Eradicate for the very amazing feedback that you've been leaving on WIPs lately. I don't comment on stuff around here as much as I used to since I've begun judging, but I really appreciate people like you taking the time out of your day to keep this forum moving You rock!

Yup. There's literally nothing I can add here, the song just needs some additional development on multiple fronts before it can pass the bar. I really do like what you've got now but it just needs something more to push it over the edge! NO (resub!)

I'm really digging your sound choices here. I suppose they're pretty traditional for a track in this genre, but the end result still feels very unique and personalized. The staccato strings are a really nice touch too. Ultimately, it's probably my favorite of the many Splash Woman tracks you've done There's definitely some performance/sequencing sloppiness throughout the track, but it's all so minor that I can't see it dragging this one down. YES

I gotchu man. I'm gonna throw the wip on the forums and we'll get you some feedback from other project members. I'll be in touch shortly!

Oh, sorry, I didn't realize that you hadn't submitted a WIP. Yeah, anyone is free to audition for a track that isn't marked as claimed on the first post. Go for it if you've got an idea you wanna try out Also, welcome XPRTNovice to the project! Your skills are definitely going to be invaluable going forward!! I'll get in touch with a project forum link soon for you.

There's a good chance that it just slipped through my fingers. I'll check it out when I get home today Sorry about that!

I'd appreciate it if nobody leaked any 100% finished tracks before the album releases. Sorry about that. Some great news coming in the next day or two though... hang tight everybody

Anything we can do about this? Thanks.

That's just temporary placeholder crap I threw together for the thread, it's not going to be included as part of any final artwork package as far as I'm aware of.

Update: Enchanted Riverbank is more or less done, now we're just waiting on Theophany to come back from vacation so he can drop Fishy's solo into his mix, finalize it, and then we can call this done Just a little longer!

As much as I'd like to YES this, since it definitely has a lot of merit as a track, there's certain aspects of it that, for lack of a better word, irritate me as a listener and I just can't get over it :\ The repetitive structure is just stretched out too far past my personal limit. I don't claim to speak for OCR's overall opinion on extended "club-style" mixes like this, but personally I feel like you're trying to push the very minimal number of patterns that aren't always conducive to repetition (like that slide riff on the bass) and by about halfway through I feel like it's just not going anywhere with the arrangement. I struggled for a long time with this vote because the production is great and your sound choices all work really well, but the arrangement would need to be trimmed down, or some of the later section filled out with additional instrumentation in order to win me over on this. NO (resubmit!)

I don't think this one even hit the judges panel, it got direct posted afaik. Either way, would have YES'd it anyway Absolutely amazing track, who are the rappers involved and how'd you find 'em?

Did somebody call my name-- oh.

Ok, some good and bad news. Bad news is, we're officially cutting our losses with the AkumajoBelmont version of Enchanted. We've been waiting almost 2 years for that track to come together and after going through literally 4 or 5 different iterations, it's still nowhere closer to complete than it was 2 years ago. As a consolation, I'll post all the works in progress that we had for Enchanted in the next day or so, so you guys can at least have some listening material for the time being. The GOOD NEWS is that Flexstyle, being the saintly hero that he is, has already started on a totally different mix for the source that should be finished in the next week. It's totally cheeseball and while it doesn't aim to mimic or replace what Akuma and co.'s vision for Enchanted Riverbank, I guarantee it will be fun and extremely catchy. So yeah, that means that we seriously can have this project wrapped up in the next week or so. The biggest bottleneck now is just waiting for Theophany to get back from vacation so he can finalize Beneath the Moonlight and Distant Dreams on Stormy Seas and render final WAVs for both of them. This is a major step towards completion, I hope you all will forgive us (read: me) for the huge amount of time spent waiting for these two tracks. It's been a hell of an ordeal but I can confidently say that we're REALLY in the home stretch now. I appreciate all your patience, we're ALMOST THERE!!

http://tindeck.com/listen/jgub You can find some more remixes by AMT, Brandon Strader, and urdailywater from the Sonic Remix competition that also feature Metal Harbor. Some very good coverage of a fantastic theme. Here's a link to the compo thread: http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=39652

I can now officially say that WE HAVE FISHY'S GUITAR SOLO FOR BENEATH THE MOONLIGHT IN HAND! This is happening! Thanks for the help Cain! We're getting closer! I'm not sure words can properly express how unbelievable it is to have Theophany, Harmony, Fishy, and Jeff Ball all contributing to the same track that clocks in at over 9 minutes in length. This will be a remix of legendary status.
