That was a good round. Great job everyone. Thanks for the feedback to all who voted. I didn't find a moment to vote myself, I might reply here with a little feedback later. --Eino

Gotta give props to the smile your lady manages to pull off. The baby makes the best face though. That takes me back. Wish I'd thought of taking a group shot! Huge congrats! Our daughter (now almost 2) also says hi - she seemed to find the picture endearing as well. (: --Eino

Time to figure out which of the ideas in my ReMix TODO to kickstart with this.. pretty sure many are previously un-ReMixed! --Eino

Haha, thanks HoboKa! (: Uploaded! --Eino

Cool. Interesing news. The trailer looked fun. --Eino

I have a decent start as well, I hope to get some more work done on it before deadline. --Eino

Well, there is one mix, so I wouldn't say it's omitted.. but sure, more Tyrian would be niiice. Magellanic has submitted one mix to the panel recentlyish. --Eino

I've been listening to both of these, and am pretty hyped about both of them! Great takes, and both feel very source-appropriate. Still looking forward to working on one or the other, need to finish some other stuff first. --Eino

An update was made! --Eino

The album notes were quite fun to read from vgmdb in advance.. I always like to hear people's stories behind their work, pretty cool that Emunator and Flexstyle turned out to live in pretty close proximity. I'm sure that made a lot of things a lot easier (and fun) for you guys! --Eino

Happy birthday to a helluva rockin' guitarist! --Eino

Quite a nice tune! Again, lots of directions one could take this to. Much simpler source than last time, too. --Eino

Indeed! --Eino

A pretty rocking, varied arrangement of frankly, not the greatest of sources. The combination of those two chords and that melody in the first part feels kind of stunted (which is quite sad for the plant-themed Wood Man). The ReMix doesn't break that impression, resulting in a strangely low key tune for such rocking instrumentation. I don't think it embraces this feeling like it could either, so it falls a bit mid-way. I'll have to say, though, that I love the guitar part at 1:56! --Eino

Hey, great to hear that you could wrap this up in time. Looking forward to hearing it! --Eino

The guitar goes really well with the electronics in this one, very well done combining them. I also really liked the transition around 2:30. High point of the track! As for criticism, the judge decision thread has a lot of good points. I personally wasn't fond of the eurodancey bass/beats, and many of the drum fills, especially as the bassdrum doing the fast notes didn't add to the energy, but seemed to lose it. (All of the those notes seem to be at full velocity - varying it might make it work better). Overall the beat of the song could have flowed better, it feels like its dragging down rather than building up and going forwards. But apart from the bass and beat, I enjoyed the synth sounds, and as I said I admire how seamlessly and effortlessly the guitar is incorporated, and that 2:30 bit keeps me listening to this piece again. Congrats on the well deserved first post, and I'm looking forward for more! --Eino

from Touched! is a long track that'd be fun to hear ReMixed. I've had some other ideas for the Touched! soundtrack, so yeah, maybe perhaps!--Eino

Once again I've started something.. this time, I began with source, so I should be able to submit something, even if it ends up being just a sketch. Hopefully, I'll have a bit more time to work on it. --Eino

This was my piece from KNGI Game Duels EP vol.1, that I'm touching up for OCR submission. release candidate: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/v4k1kk3qgbn9hw6k2qcrf/eino_keskitalo_-_ninjan_graali-20250108-rc.mp3?rlkey=9z7vmrdurm3o1u752bh57gtka&st=50rct5h0&dl=0 Sources: Aquaduct from Ninja Gaiden (Xbox): Title Screen from Knight 'n' Grail (C64): https://haxel.bandcamp.com/track/title-screen Ghost Castle from Knight 'n' Grail (C64): https://haxel.bandcamp.com/track/ghost-castle Source breakdown: The arpeggio from Ghost Castle plays almost throughout The two-note figure that plays in Aquaduct 0:00-0:38 is played 0:00-1:00 (though in 6/8 and 7/8 instead of 4/4) Dropping the bass to C# in Aquaduct at 0:20 is reflected at 0:45-1:00 (although the bass does come back to D# in the arrangement before going back to C#) The melody from Title Screen plays at 0:28-1:00 The melody from Ghost Castle at 0:47-> is played in the background at 0:45-1:00 Aqueduct 0:39-> is approximated at 1:16-2:07 The two-note figure from Aquaduct plays at 2:07-2:38 The melody from Ghost Castle is played from 2:07-> The bass also follows Ghost Castle chord changes. Old: Current WIP (2013-03-09) Changes done since the EP version: better mixing more attention to stereo image unbusify, define parts better spice up the bass a bit rename the piece twice A little of each seems to have done a lot. It's amazing how much chipping away at levels and EQ does. It did take me hours and hours though! --Eino

There's this feature: http://ocremix.org/forums/tags.php?tag=ska But not all the threads are tagged. Tracks with LuIzA involved have a good chance of including ska elements in it. One not mentioned is Materia Junkie. You might also like this one. Not sure if it really fits at all to the genre criteria, but it came to mind. --Eino

Yup, it's great to hear how well this project has progressed! The soundtrack is full of great stuff (I was practically introduced to it via this project thread.. yup. Looking forwards to the finished album! --Eino

They added two more items to $10 and over tier (Hotline Miami EP and POP:ME1), and also added seven more days to the counter. The $10 tier bonus list: Hotline Miami: The Takedown EP POP:ME1 Joypad Records EP Skyrim: Main Theme cover by Lindsey Stirling and Peter Hollens Kanto Symphony EP Adventures in Pixels Jottobots I thought the previous GMB's $10 tier rewards were such a horn o' plenty, that this ones looked quite pale in comparison (though the main offering was very good). Now it's starting to sound much more like it. Of course, that's just comparing it to previous bundles.. it's all way worth more than $10. Not that I could give more than $1 this time, quite sadly. Check it out folks, it's good stuff. --Eino

Having just replied to a Kickstarter thread and started another in succession , I think a collected thread is a great idea. Thanks for doing the moderating! --Eino

Here's one that's just a couple of thousand short and a few hours to go - one I'd really like to see get made. Hero-U from the designers of Quest for Glory.. I played and enjoyed QfG1 (the VGA version), and this sounds like a game with great potential. Please support it (and quick) if you're a QfG fan! edit: yessss, successfully backed! --Eino
