  1. Well, now this is a coincidence for me.

    You're that guy who done that Samurai Champloo Shiki No Uta mix a few weeks back, right? XD I search every other day on youtube for remixes of Shiki No Uta as i wanna remix it myself one day. I came across yours during my search. Liking what you done with that, nice.

    ...and now looking through your channel i just realized i must have come across your youtube account again because i was looking for PSO remixes just yesterday and found your beat sampling Red Ring Rico's tune!

    And now you're here! Small world. Even smaller on the internet! :D

    Nice work on the Mario game over tune. I'm also liking that Sonic R one as well. Good stuff.

    I am a rapper. A British rapper, actually. I would certainly love to rap over a beat of yours, though being honest i wouldn't be able to commit to anything just at the moment as i've got a few other projects sitting in my priorities list.

    But, if you're down for it, i might come around and get at you some time in the near future for a collab or two.

    Oh, if you need to hear my take on rap then feel free to check out this tune here. I just recently got posted on OverClocked ReMix along with Tryezz -

    Keep up the good work, man. Feeling them beats, there. *goes through your youtube catalogue*.

  2. Gotta love Ivy's design. It's a nice blend between her classy style and the whole dominatrix flex she got going on. To me, this is probably her best costume so far. Loving the complimenting colours too. Very stylish.

    I read somewhere that Ivy's age has stopped at 32 as well. Hey hey hey~!

    I'm still holding out and hoping for a Turkish character to appear in this. I can't see how Soul Calibur has gone 4 games so far, all of them set during the Ottoman Empires era, and not one single Turk has appeared in this yet.

  3. Its kinda like that awkward guy during a party being the only one "bouncing,"
    Hahah! Yeah, sounds just about right! XD

    No no, in all seriousness i actually agree with you though. I added that section in more as an after thought rather than flesh out the idea of it properly during development of the tune. The bounce sounds like it needs a bit more oomf to give it that proper party feel.

    Cheers for digging it though. I am happy that people who don't normally listen to rap are at least giving it a chance :)

  4. Also, Dj Mokram needs to do a lot more music... or rather, we need more Mokram music! And disco.
    Yeh, i'll agree with that! I gotta try and work with the dude at some point too. He understands my style of rap and i love the level of quality he brings in to his work. It has to happen. The time will soon come!

    I was saying to Stevo, i'm kinda impressed with the amount of praise this album has received. I know NiGHTS was always a bit of a niche kinda game, not many people got to play the thing back in the day so i was always a bit worried as to how far this album would travel online ...but bloody hell has it surprised me. Total kudos to the whole project, i feel we went beyond what our target was.

  5. I still listen to this and wonder just how on Earth we actually ended up with such an epic version of D'Force Masters. I could have never imagined such a tune being the climatic point to this little OCR album that we have here.

    But i remember hearing the WIP for the first time and thinking this was going to be a ground-breaker. You don't need to be in to opera or classical music to appreciate just how awesome this has turned out.

  6. Always had been a fan of Jose's work so seeing him take interest in this song had me excited from day one. You gotta love this, it gets the mood of NiGHTS so spot on it's hard to picture this song for any other game other than NiGHTS.

    I remember when i first heard it, i was totally caught off guard by the NiGHTS flute jingle at the end of the tune. I had to rewind it. It was the perfect homage to the character in an already great song. That jingle is NiGHTS' trademark. To have this album with that jingle present somewhere was like the cherry on top of the ice cream cake. Just brilliant.

  7. Coming from me who's been in and around the NiGHTS fan community for too many years (lol), there's only SO many times you can hear DREAMS DREAMS before you get fed up. So, when this Lucid Dreaming project landed on our NiGHTS forums doorstep the first thing i thought was what they could possibly do to make DREAMS DREAMS different.

    Then Robbie turned up with a disco mix! XD It was absolutely everything DREAMS DREAMS needed. Seriously. A complete run through a totally different genre, and i fell in love with the track all over again. This version is so fresh yet still manages to get you those emotions you felt from the original, it just worked. Then Stevo turns up with the guitar and that pretty much sealed the deal, for me.

    Bloody awesome tune, mate.

  8. I just want to say a massive thanks for the warm welcome. I know that rap ain't everyones cup of tea ...and if that wasn't enough, to throw British vocals over the top of it could have almost been considered madness by some, lol. But seriously, thank you for giving me a chance here. It's truly appreciated.

    Tryezz has always been one funky dude. I've been a fan of his music for years and i figured getting him on the Jackle tune would be an almost perfect match. I just never expected him to say yes, what with him being so busy. But here we are! It was an honour to work with him XD

    As DJMokram mentioned, there's definitely G-Funk in there too, mixed with elements of New Jack Swing. This was the direction i wanted Tryezz to take it in. The Mantle tune was always the funkiest song from NiGHTS and i wanted to keep that funk part of the main genre for the tune.

    The lyrics themselves were formed on the basis that the boss Jackle was designed by Sonic Team around the 'Death' and 'Grim Reaper' character. I wanted to play off of that concept while still making slight references to Jackle himself, such as the 'Jack-in-the-box' and 'Guillotine' references as those items make appearances in his stage.

  9. It's been one crazy journey and i loved every single second of this project. It's been something of an honour to have been able to see it unfold, right from the very beginning all the way to today's release.

    Also, much congrats to Danielle and Ryan! Just listening to 'Dies, Nox et Omnia' now as i read that, actually.

  10. Hey Niyazi, did any more NiGHTS mixes ever end up getting made? ;-)
    Not sure, i think i saw you guys mention something on twitter but i only skim read it :P

    Haha, oh man. I actually remember creating this topic too.

    It's crazy to see how much changes in a few years! Thanks for bringing this back up. I just had one hell of a trip down memory lane.

  11. Lol, today we saw NiGHTS' actual concept creator and designer Mr. Naoto Ohshima 'LIKE' the Lucid Dreaming trailer that was posted on our FaceBook page! XD

    ...yes, it is the real Ohshima. What do you think this is? Twitter? D:

    Can't wait to send the next bunch of CD's out to Tomoko Sasaki and rest of the original composers, they're gonna loooove this. Iizuka emailed us today to remind us to send them over when we get some more in, lol.

  12. I met with Yuji Naka and Takashi Iizuka yesterday for a chat at the UK Sonic convention 'Summer Of Sonic' and handed them both a copy of Lucid Dreaming each.

    They were very impressed by the look of the physical copy but a little bit of explanation was needed. After the translator described exactly what the CD was and why we had done it they both smiled and Iizuka seemed really keen on the album, even going as far as asking me if i had more spare copies on me as he wanted to take some back with him to give to the original musicians for the game, such as Tomoko Sasaki! Unfortunately i didn't have any spare discs with me but we will most definitely be sending them out to Sonic Team japan when i get the fresh batch in.

    We didn't have time for them to listen to the CD while in their presence but i sure as hell know that they'll be listening to this whole album later. Stevo man, i think they got your message :)

    Ladies and gents, our work here is done. Well, almost. lol.

  13. Been about for a fair while, just not posted... you and TRiP need to come around our place sometime soon DiG' to hang out with me and Becky.

    Brandon: Don't worry, I've no clue who you are either... and are just as enthused about finding out. :<

    Indeed we do! We shall arrange something.

    Also, it's just dawned on me that you are one of the very few people to have heard Lucid Dreaming in it's entirety. Check you, being all V.i.P like.
