I have to agree with Rozovian that the buildup here is on the weak side. You've got a lot of source material left to use (or, if you used it already, in a bigger, more grand way) to make sure this tracks springs out. It IS quite nice, though! Just wondering: at which rollercoaster park do you work? Walibi?

Definetely agreeing on the Paper Mario connection, it sounds really funky! This one goes into my standard collection Have you subbed this piece? I'm not an expert but I think this makes a good chance of getting accepted [EDIT] It IS a bit on the short side, though, probably because the intro takes way too much time. And for one reason or the other I expected mroe epicness... Make it longer pretty please?

Awesome. It does sound a bit chaotic at times, though, I especially had that feeling around 2:23 but after a third listen it sounded a bit better... still, I think it shouldn't take me three listenings to get accustomed to it I'm getting that Jazz Jackrabbit vibe as well, which isn't such a bad thing at all. This, ofcourse, means that you'll just have to grind your teeth on a Jazz remix one of these days

I have to agree that as a standalone piece, it doesn't work. It IS a great start, though, and I believe you can push this track way beyond what you have now. It's very chaotic at times and that doesn't suit the track: it should be creepy, not chaotic. Nevertheless I'm quite surprised by this WIP

Fascinating... Too many years ago the original blew me off my socks and made me wonder if there were such people who remixed this stuff, only to discover when I finally had internet access that this tune was the most remixed / hated of them all... But this, this is magic. The retro in the title isn't a lame joke, it's real and it's absolutely stunning. Made of win, awesomess and with epic sprinkled on top Now I am wondering, though, when we'll get an Ice Cap mix a la The Baseballs. That would be pure awesomeness...

Seems Luke inspired a lot of people with his mix. While the influences of his mix are clearly present in this one, it's a great rendition. Well done

WEll that's good enough for me to know; means I can keep an eye out for this one for the time being

So... Are you still on this one Gecko? Haven't seen a post of you in here since you started this GECKO YOU'RE GREAT I WANT YOUR BABIES IF I WAS A WOMAN hysteria

First of all, I'd upload my files to here for teh time being; makes direct listening a lot easier. Second, your Coldman Rave isn't responding, seeing as the site that hosted it is gone; could you re-upload it please? So... Dynamoman. It sounds a bit empty at the start, a thing you fix a little bit later on, but I can't shake the feeling that the track misses a certain depth. Next to that, the guitar still feels "fake" and I think that a different soundfont would certainly benefit this track. I like the track, but the buildup itself feels rushed production wise; can you fix that? Of the three new mixes, this one is my favorite... Tenguman is relaxed, but again it feels empty. Here, a voice would seem the most appropiate thing to add, to give it a real jazz feeling. I think you can throw away the drums if you can let the bass in the background be more creative. The trumpet kind of... fails... Look into what a sax could do to give it more complexity. Astroman's source doesn't give you much to work with, but I think that in this case an intro with the original source would spice your remix up a bit. The use of the hi-hat to break-up the main theme is,,, awkard, IMHO. At 1:33 you add an extra instrument which is nice, I think the remix lacks such an addition to the "background" before the 1:33 mark... which I think is actually true for the rest of your mixes as well. All in all... you've got some stuff to work on, as was said by others too, but I think that in time and a bit more learning on your side, you can finish off a pretty decent remix album

I'm digging it a lot. The buildup is on the lengthy side, though, and I'd suggest that for OCR subbing you could better have a shorter intro; leave the longer one for people who are going to use it in albums so they can mix the tracks together. I'm still curious as to where this will lead but I think you're on to something with this

Yeah man, you really should finish this because it's full of win! It captures the 80's feel in a very unique way

I'm all for it, Street Fighter 2's remix album was awesome and I think that a lot of people here can do much better than a lot of the composers who did Sonic scores over the years...

Wow, an extremely cohesive mix. This certainly was a good decision on the judges' side, because this is great stuff. It doesn't feel like being composed of medleys at all but really has a cohesive feel to it. Great stuff, makes me wonder what the games have to offer in terms of music

Solid start and indeed not much more than a framework at the moment. I'm liking it, though, really hope you can extend this into something larger

It's a shame that you won't finish it, because it's got a great vibe going on! A bit mechanical at times, but it's still quite nice

I agree with Xenon on this one: you need to mix in a bit more 'oomph', so to say, to make this mix a bit more appealing. The choir in the background is nice, but the base sounds a little bit mechanical, which distracts from the tune a lot IMHO; as if you're using a stick to bash against a barrel while you've got a whole orchestra behind you. Like, what happen, drumguy fell asleep or something? And seconded: it's kind of short... You've got some great material to start off with here though

A great take on Hyrule Castle. This mix really has a very distinct, unique feel to it, and I agree with the judges in that it's a very unexpected take on the source but it really scream HEAR ME I'M AWESOME. Great job!

Very nice! It is what you said, a decent remix but not all too great. Tried a few other tracks but they really didn't appeal me, especially Tubelectric was a bit of a letdown. Thanks anyway for the heads up

Well that was an interesting source, count me in as follower!

Usually not a bumper, but getting this off page 2 for great justice! 159 views gotta mean something, right?

A high energetic track, I personally have the feeling that Vega's soundtrack should be more akin to this. I've wondered when we'd get something with such a vibe here on OCR. Great job! I am wondering, though, what happened to the other tracks. Was there a forum thread on trackitdown or something? Becaue I (and with me a lot of people I think) am really curious to hear what the others have remixed. Who was the winner anyway?

A very appropiate album release, with some killer music! Very nice

I'm notsure, but it sounds you're a bit off in the first part of the piece where you get into the main tune. You correct that later on, but all in all... it's a bit of a chaotic remake. I'm not actually sure if I like it or not...

Hey ReMixers! I downloaded the JJ2 OST a few days ago, and have since been hooked to the Dark Groove tune. Unfortunately, and this is true for a lot of JJ2 tracks, no remix has been attempted on this killer track, and I was wondering if anyone here has time to spare and thinks he or she can give this one a go. Trance and the harder styles are my forte, but hey, if this gets remixed you won't hear me complaining about the choice of style For those too lazy to search (can't blame you for it ) .Thanks in advance, I'm sure there will be a lot of people who will thank you for it

Wow. I was cursing and cursing because this songwasn't properly remixed yet, but you're doing one hell of a job. My only, single gripe with it as that only the source tunes don't come back that often. Especially the second part really wants some more sound time, IMHO. The way the tune goes away from source by going up in octaves is used way too often, I'm really curious what happens when you expand on the source, instead of deviate from it. Anyway... Really great work on this WAY to underappreciated track!
