Sinewav, thanks for that clarification on VGMix. That actually helped me understand a bit of the history behind that site. Still, it doesn't explain what happened to MusicallyInspired's Chemical Overdose disappearing from the ocremix, despite him giving me confirmation that he DID in fact submit it here a long time ago. He did state that it was rejected, but I figured even rejected mixes would have some sort of searchable archival system for confirmation. Also, I'd love to give you guys the names of other remixes that I had on my college PC, but I can't recall any others. I DO know that some I enjoyed ARE still findable on ocremix, but there are definitely others that aren't. I'll try to rack my brain for names. Many more thanks to souldragon for posting the link of yet another version of Chemical Overdose. It's so cool to see different versions popping up in this thread of a song remix that I loved so much! I also agree, the drums are very notably toned-down when compared to the version Slygen linked. I linked Inspired to this thread in one of the recent e-mails I sent him; hopefully he'll check it out and let us know. He did mention in the e-mail that he's learned a lot since making the mixes we're talking about, and he hopes to give Chemical Plant another go!

I sent Musically Inspired an email; he confirmed that he did, in fact, submit Chemical Overdose to the ocremix, and that it was reviewed and rejected. I don't see how anyone can argue with that!

THANK YOU SO MUCH SLYGEN THAT IS DEFINITELY THE SONG, WITHOUT QUESTION But, it's also not exactly the version I remember. As Nick R said, it seems the song progressed through several versions. I'm not sure what version I heard back in the day, but it was not EXACTLY that one. Though, that is without question the same song. And it was definitely made by Musically Inspired. Whether the version I heard was a "work in progress" and the one you linked was the "finished product," or vice-versa, I have no idea; nor do I have any way we can identify this, barring contacting Inspired himself. I took the time to send him an e-mail, so if he happens to shed some light on the situation, I will pass it along. But nonetheless, that download was more than I could have hoped for. Brings back such memories... Also, with reference to Nick R's post, if anyone is able to better explain the difference between the OCRemix and the VGMix sites, I'd greatly appreciate it. I know I can't be crazy in thinking that a wealth of remixes I loved back in the 2000-2003ish era disappeared, since Nick R is alluding to the same sort of idea. I have no idea what the "VGMix" was. I just remember coming to www.ocremix.org, searching for games I liked (Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasies, Secret of Mana, ETC) and finding a lot of great remixes I loved. Now I'll search those same titles on ocremix and find SIGNIFICANTLY less hits, and I'm wondering where it all went... or if it still exists! Does this mean that VGMix and ocremix were linked at some point? I only ever recall typing www.ocremix.org in my browser when searching for vidgame music. To further clarify (or perhaps confuse), I did not recognize a single song in the list of songs in that site. And I listened to all the removed Chrono Trigger, C.Cross, Final Fantasy, and Secret of Mana ones on that list.

First post ever: I used to browse this site when I was college 4 years ago. I loved it, and would download songs from here regularly. And when I got a new PC after college I came back to this site to re-download some of the songs I fell in love with. But MUCH to my dismay, about 80% of the songs I was looking for were gone. Most had really obscure names and are now pretty much impossible for me to find. One of the songs that I can remember the name of is called Chemical Overdose; it was a Sonic the Hedgehog 2 remix of the Chemical Plant Zone stage. If anyone has any information on why I can't find any of these songs I loved so dearly, or with a link to Chemical Overdose, I would greatly appreciate it. To specify ever so slightly, I am assuming that there was some sort of copyright issue with a lot of the music on this site. If this is the case, what precisely constituted "infringement" such that a lot of the music I remember to be removed from the site, while others that I definitely remember are still here? And if I'm completely wrong about all of the aforementioned assumptions, please feel free to correct me
