    Well there's Orbital, due to their ambient side of electronic. And then there's BT, like Black Mage stated. This is way too vague to answer, but I could give a few artists for you to check out.

    Thievery Corporation

    DJ Shadow

    B-Flat

    Moby (I guess?)

    Suisse Modular

    ...I mean, just go from what everyone here gave you and just venture out. Only you would know what appeals to you. Hope that helps... (somewhat)

    which RR compilation CD is that? and also the tracks from RR that ended up on RRR were remixed versions, although the high spec demo disc from RRT4 has Ridge Racer and Grip as the 2 audio tracks, so they could have gotten it from there

    Well, for one, it was imported with R4 and it came as a grey CD in a very thin case. It contained not only a demo of the turbo version of Ridge Racer, but this CD as well. I looked it up and all that I found was the separate copy of it.

    What is wierd is, that on my friend's copy, it has the list of songs and Grip is indeed on that list as track 2, as it is on the game soundtrack (If I'm correct). If you look closely on the image, it's not even on there. So I'm not even sure anymore. In fact, I'm completely friggin' confused. My digital camera's completely D-stroyed otherwise I would've happily posted images of it up to better support my statement.

    But seriously, I don't know anymore. But then again, this did arrive with the...

    :roll: ...Japanese version. I think that solves it. Never mind.

    The PlanitB mixes of Hikari/Simple and Clean is the mix you here in the intro of the Japanese/International releases of Kingdom Hearts.

    Well, yeah. Slightly faster in tempo and about half of the original song is cut if I'm correct.

    just popped my copy of RR in the comp, and Grip isnt on there, at least on the Pal version. may be on the ntsc version, but idk.

    Well, I have a copy of an official Ridge Racer compilation CD and if I am reading this correct, it does say that Grip is on RR. If what you're saying is true, then I think that this was a mix-up of some sort...

    or it's only on the ntsc version. :?

    I am not sure if it was in RR (need to consult winamp) but it was on RRR, remix on RR V, and i am sure there are other remixes about. maybe it is just me that picked up on it. there are heaps of songs through out the RR series, and Rotterdam Nation is one that sticks out, but there would only be a handfull of others that would too

    Kingdom Hearts/KH II - Hikari(Simple and Clean)/Passion(Sanctuary)

    i am putting these 2 (technically 4) together because to me they both have equal standing, and are perfect fitting for both games. For the first one in particular, the PlanitB mixes are the ones that stand out.

    One, from what I just realized, Grip is on RR and Revolution. Along with Rotterdam, Grip was remixed at least 3 additional times. From what I've not only read, but asked around in regards to those tracks, there are Dance Dance Revolution mixes containing elements of Grip and Rotterdam in them... Sadly, those songs I believe were for some of the Jap versions of DDR. I'm not entirely certain if this is true, because I'm looking it up as I'm typing this, but I do recall hearing some really good mixes of Grip on a self-made album that's floating around somewhere.

    Two, there are sooooo many mixes of Simple & Clean that I've heard, and they are all pretty much mixed into a moderately-tuned, trance-oriented stuff. There was one that I recently heard (albeit nearly impossible to track down, I believe) that had a bit of a chillout feel to it. Very slow, had a lot of ambience to it and had some of the most unique percussions that I've heard in a while. "(Something) Strings 4 Me Mix" is all that I can recall at the moment. I don't have any info at the moment in regards to the artist(s) as of right now, but I'll definitely keep looking for it.

    I was going to say Mute City from the F-Zero series, but actually I believe Big Blue is more iconic, seeing as how there are many more versions of Big Blue in the games than Mute City.

    Agreed. I guess they just went more with the construct that people found Big Blue to be a fan favorite and just simply kept it. idk though, I kinda liked Mute City a lot more.

    1. Pac-Man/Ms. Pac-Man

    When you hear the "game start" jingle, you know what's about to happen. Many people have turned that jingle into some interesting pieces of music.

    2. Tetris

    B-type stands out the most for me, but probably not as iconic as I believe it is.

    3. Metroid (Pick one)

    It seems that every single one in the series has the same appearance fanfare. Not that it's bad or anything, but when you hear it I guess that it's just a reminder of the stress that you're about to embark on.

    ah that would be Rotterdam Nation '94. There is a Rotterdam Nation on the first game, but it is this remix that i remember too. another iconic one from the Ridge Racer Series, at least for me, is Grip, but it would be a tough choice

    That's funny, because most who have played the series religiously don't even remember Grip at all. In fact, I've had one person tell me that it was only on the original Ridge Racer, and not Revolution. Very sad, it made me.

    Well, I have two...

    Ridge Racer Revolution: "Rotterdam Nation"

    I don't know why, but every time that I decide to play any Ridge Racer game, I find myself thinking of that song. Weirdly enough, they remixed it for the one for PSP. Added some bass to it and got creative with it.

    Castlevania: (Ha, pick one) "Bloody Tears"

    Everyone that knows me knows when I've just finished a session of pretty much any one of the series. Damn you Michiru, you make your tunes easy to hum, whistle and drum to. :-P The openings of the themes vary with each game as well as carrying a unique tone for the depth into the game. That's usually what catches my attention when it coms to this track. Not only the variants of this track, but the usage location. Builds tension into the game somewhat.

    However, the only other two Castlevania tunes that instantly pops into mind at will are Blood Relations from SOTN and the Final Stage's music from Bloodlines. Luv those tracks.

    Edit: I would also say the original boss theme from Gradius, but they just keep switching it up and remixing it in some way shape or form. Few would actually know the theme unless they actually beat it, though. I guess this is up for debate.

    Is This Man Ripping Off OC ReMix?!

    Those are just two...

    Both songs from different artists on here...

    He does have other songs but I am not aware if they are OCR... these I'm already aware of.

    Yep and a piss-poor job at ripping off OCR. This is gonna get interesting.

    Edit: The dude's profile is enough lolz. "I altered some of the tracks"?

    How much were they selling the Gold Cartridge Zelda for? A store here is selling a new copy for $25.

    $17.84 and it would've been an automatic lie if the chick (my aunt) didn't have a receipt...

    haha WOW.

    Ya' know... this game acutallly doesnt look THAT bad!

    Very creative on using the source material and using it for a fight system!

    I wasn't really aware Moonwalker had a game. Does he transform into a whatever it was in the end?

    Yes and my guess that it is a mech-car-a-ma-bobin. Yes, that's my final answer.

    OCR01603 - Pokémon Red Version "TEEM.ROKIT"

    More background information please.

    I personally had difficulty trying to figure out what this track was at first, due to the beginning up to about 1:14. I had to break my neck to find a source tune of Team Rocket's theme so that I didn't get totally confused. After listening to that tune, the remix became so much clearer. The added expansions are slick. Especially from 2:02 into 2:40.

    What I was trying to imply (before the 404 got me) was, this was more than a shock to me (not in a bad way, either) since for a while I was wondering if Team Rocket's theme could ever be remixed. But I was thinking more of a metal theme, though.

    There's going to be a fair amount of people who might turn their noses up to this remix, but I don't think there's going to anything that'll top this anytime soon. Nice.

    (My bad, LT):oops:

    Well, it's your choice... I mean, you don't normally come across games like that in a store. Especially since my Aunt just recently found a fresh copy of Zelda (NES). Gold Cartridge. I wouldn't stand hearing less from her other than it being ab-solute luck.

    However, in your case, you have two options...

    Buying the item from the store that you're talking about... or buying it from OUR store...

    Can't you just make a new icon for the Recycle Bin and link it to that feature? Sort of like "New Shortcut" when you right-click on the desktop?

    :banghead: ...That's where the 6 hours of wondering how did he do it came in. Oh, and the "New Shortcut" Option isn't even on the list. I found that hilarious.

    I know this sounds stupid, but have you checked underneath the other icons on the desktop?

    I, myself, have managed to stack other icons on top of my R.bin several times effectively hiding it.

    Yep. I even moved around every desktop file just to see. It's not even registered on the HD. I'm tempted to tell my buddy that he's fucked, but there has to be some sort of insanely simple solution to this.

    Edit: I'll make another attempt at it when he gets home from work. Until then, I'm gonna pokemon myself to death.
