    *NO* Xenogears 'InkBlot . . . Carrion'

    in Judges Decisions

    Posted

    I'm the guy that once submitted a pretty bad "industrial" Xenogears under

    the name DJ Meiji...

    But now I use the name Conal and I have abandoned my synthesized music ways

    (mostly... just a bit of synth in this remix.. the rest being sampled

    acoustic drum kits with recorded guitar)

    is the URL

    the remix is of two songs. the quieter parts are Id's theme from Xenogears.

    the louder parts are Grahf's theme from same game.

    the overall remix closely resembles a song by a Japanese gothic death metal

    band, probably because i modeled the mix after the song... the two

    Xenogears songs seemed to fit into the goth song's style and phrasing,

    etc... so I just felt like doin it. it was a kind of strange indulgence...

    just sort of abandoning all self-influencial creativity and utilizing other

    music to achieve something slightly new.

    oh well, whatever.

    the volume is particularly low in the song...i tried raising it but it

    ruined the sound quality at points, so i guess just turn up your volume.

    that's me screaming in the middle of the song.

    hope you like it.

    Well, he seems pretty upset. I guess vgmix being down ruined his evening. Anyhow, we don't usually allow multiple subs at the same time, but if someone could check his stuff out and see if it's good, maybe suggest we vote on the best, that'd be cool. -djp

    Ok I've tried several (and I mean serveral times) to send in a remix here. Never once has it been posted, to the best of my knowledge.

    so here is my final attempt and maybe out of all the frustration only because vgmix down. I'm certain it's not because of low quality I am supremely confident that when you listen you'll enjoy my remixes

    Here is a site that I have compiled in my spare time with the songs, descriptions, and even screenshots.

    It is all mine, take whatever you like and butcher the id3/id2 tags all you want.

    Thankyou for you time, I do appreciate your input into this hopefully developing scene.

    *NO* Arkanoid 'Nintendo Meets Commodore'

    in Judges Decisions

    The FTP l/p do actually work -djp

    Hey dj pretzel!

    Before I go on to tell you where to find my submission and stuff, let me personally compliment you on your site. Overclocked ReMix is one of the coolest (and best designed) websites I have ever seen. I don't know how many songs I have downloaded from your site so far, and the talented ReMixers that you showcase are crazy! (In a good way, of course.) Oh, and by the way, Revival Day Impoetus plays in my headphones every day!

    Now, on to my song. After listening to slaveone's c64 ReMix, and just sitting in awe at how catchy it was, I knew I had to try this. I happen to be a pretty damn good clarinet and tenor sax player, so I do have some experience -- just not with electronica. I remember playing Arkanoid on my old NES, and I had happened to play Arkanoid on a Commodore at a friend's house. I realized that they go pretty well together, save for the fact that the Nintendo version didn't have much music except for the intro and GAME OVER screen.

    I might be a n00b at this (newbie, if you don't play FPSes online), but I personally like this song for a first try. Plus, in my friends' and relatives' opinions, it's really good for MTV Music Generator! ^_^

    Enough yakin'. Here's where you can find it:

    The username is _____ and the password is _____. This is the ftp to my online comic (that I haven't updated in about a month, because of schoolwork), so I am on your honor that you won't tell this to anybody!!! (If you do, I will curse the name of dj pretzel for life and become a catholic nun!)

    If I don't make the cut, then I'll try again. If I do, then I'll still do another ReMix. Either way, you might hear a Super Punch Out!! ReMix next.

    *NO* Final Fantasy 10 'The Spira Cup'

    This is a medley, and it helps to read the description quite a bit - djp

    Hi pretzel!

    Instead of just saying "here I am, please take this," I think this next

    submission heeds some explanation.

    Download it at:

    The idea behind this one is a bit narrative. I won't write a story or

    anything; hopefully, the music will do that enough. But the piece has

    been remixed in three parts: two halves "of the game" and then post- game; the first "half" borrowed from the FFX track "Blitz off!" with

    arhythmic drum patterns and "dotty" synths, and I wove in "Tidus' Theme"

    rather prominently there, as well as hinted at "Wakka's Theme"; the

    second "half" (after another, more brooding iteration of "Unwavering

    Decision") breaks into the heavy-metal material from "Otherworld" and

    continues to touch on Tidus' Theme, until the game comes to a close with

    a suspenseful buildup meant to illustrate the game-winning shot (which

    is obviously identified with the familiar FF victory fanfare); this

    quickly fades to the third section, which is predominantly a loose remix

    of Wakka's Theme, and then the section ends with a fanfare of Tidus, one

    last time, and finis. I should note "Wakka's Theme" isn't really USED in

    the game, but it is accessable by players as bonus (if you've plated

    FFX, you need to buy all the music spheres to hear it).

    So, there it is, just under the 6 meg cutoff; hope you enjoy it!

    And, by the way, thanks for plugging the Fate of Io project; that really

    was above and beyond. We're trying to get some of our people to check

    out OCR as a meager attempt of appreciation.

    Later!

    *NO* Ninja Gaiden 'The Mask'

    in Judges Decisions

    Posted

    Artist: Kilu

    email: kilu_mah@hotmail.com

    homepahe:

    Game: Ninja Gaiden

    Name: The Mask

    Original Composers: More Yamasan and B. Hasake

    Company: Tecmo Ltd.

    "Orchestral rearrangement of The Masked Devil music. Short piece with

    mindblowing melody. In my opinion, this is most likely the best orchestrated

    music I have so far rearranged. Only thing that bothers me is the end. Cuz

    there practically is none. So it could be better, but I had been doing this

    for almost whole evening and it was kinda late when I finished it, and I had

    no more inspiration left to invent better ending. So it will have to do.

    Don't hate it as much as I do.

    Overall, I think this piece is nice, and all "orchestral" music lovers

    should check it out... and give couple comments as well :D

    Of course, it's nowhere near Russells stuff. Bare that in mind...

    On side note; This game was called "Shadow Warrior" in Europe, and most

    likely in US as well."

    The mp3 has OCR tag, and is about 2 megs.

    XM is tested with ModPlug and XMPlay. Effects work most likely with ModPlug

    only. Size is about 2 megs.

    And as usual, no direct link, just download the damn piece from the URL

    below :D

    *NO* Sonic Spinball 'Lava Mechanics'

    in Judges Decisions

    Posted

    Hello, I am submitting a ReMixed track from Sonic Spinball, specifically the Lava Powerhouse level, and the unique name I have chosen for the ReMix is 'LavaMechanics.' Sonic Spinball is, of course, a 1993 game for the Sega Genesis. My artist info is as follows.

    Artist name: Catatonic Porpoise

    E-mail address: graue@fojar.com

    Web site: (just a list of songs right now, since at the moment I am more interested in making music than web sites)

    The ReMix URL is:

    Thank you for your time and for operating such a cool ReMix site! I also like the comic, which I used to read before OC ReMix existed.

    Sincerely,

    Catatonic Porpoise

    Pretty good stuff . . . - djp

    That's the url for the mix.

    If you decide that it makes the cut, I'd like it credited to klm09; however, I'd much enjoy it if you could mention in the ReMix write up that I'm a.k.a. Mikko Nousiainen.

    It's not exactly "my" website, but I'm involved with this non-profit game development organisation, Night Skies Productions; the url is http://nsp.davidr.com

    You might have to edit the ID3 tag a bit.. sorry about that. I missed the "http://" from the Album field; also, if it's not possible to have two urls in the URL field, take the second one out.

    If it refuses to download, it might be due to Angelfire bandwidth limits.. try again in a period of time. I hope I didn't miss out anything.

    Oh, my email is mikkonousiainen@ieatcatsforfun.com

    Thank you.

    OCR00943 - *YES* Sonic the Hedgehog 3 'Her Azure Eyes'

    in Judges Decisions

    Posted

    Hello DJ Pretzel!

    I have a mix I'd like to submit. It's called "Her Azure Eyes," and is a ReMix of Azure Lake Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog 3. This a shorter version of this mix was originally written for the IronMix challege, a mixing contest a few of the forum members and I do every week or so. The entire mix took me about five hours to do over the course of two friday nights.

    It's a dance/trance tune, but it's a bit more happy than usual, as it uses a flute and some nice strings.

    I'd like this creditted to DarkeSword.

    Thank you.

    *NO* Unreal 'Chasing the Skaarj'

    in Judges Decisions

    Posted

    Can anyone more familiar with the original than myself fill us in? -djp

    Please accept this donation; I think it should do more than just rot on my hard drive.

    Song Title: Chasing the Skaarj

    Author: DJ Contrast (Kevin Conner)

    Game: Unreal

    Platform: PC

    Producers: Epic Megagames

    Original Author: Alexander Brandon

    Original Title: 'Surfacing' and 'Dusk Horizon'

    Genre: Hardcore (electronic)

    Length: 3:02

    Bitrate: 192kbps

    The song can be found here:

    Put this in the description if you like:

    I wrote this sucker with the intention of putting it in a UT2003 racing mod that I got too busy to continue developing, and so it's now just a freestanding hardcore remix of two songs from original Unreal. The title is derived from the racing pace of the song and from the bad guys of the single player game, the Skaarj. The original songs are both by Alexander Brandon. One is called Surfacing, and is played when you arrive at the Nali city in the sky. The two main riffs are taken from that piece. One of the other riffs is taken from Dusk Horizon, which is played after leaving the prison ship when you're forced to fight for the first time. Another of the riffs is from some song from either Descent or Descent II, whose author I don't know. I just had the song in my head at the time and had to get it out somehow, and the riff fit in nicely.

    Thanks for running your site, it's awesome!

    Hi DJP!

    My name is Curt Castro. I've been a OC fan for a few years now, and

    I've finally decided to try and contribute to all the great work up there.

    I've remixed my roomate's and my favorite Chrono Cross song: the map theme

    of Another World. It's entitled "Sailing Chrono Style." You can access the

    mp3 at

    It's on the main page there. The site is bare except for the mp3. My remix

    name is Count Curt should you find the song to your liking. Don't worry

    about posting up my email or web page. Thanks for all your hard work and

    consideration. We appreciate all you do! Let me know what you think. Take

    care and God bless!

    *NO* Tetris 'Overture 1 - March'

    Posted

    Ok, I have been doing a lot of work since my first submission and I can tell

    you that this one is MUCH better. I have always loved orchestrated remixes

    as well and wanted to hear how Tetris could turn out, I got my answer and

    hope to get it submitted for ALL to hear. Anyway this is the first of a

    three-movement piece I'm working on; the other two movements will be the

    other two most popular Tetris songs, so here it is:

    *NO - djpretzel VETO* Lemmings (SNES) 'The Revenge of Mr. Lemming'

    in Judges Decisions

    Posted

    Hi

    I've made a remix of the tune Lemming1 from Lemmings (as it was named in the SNES-version at least), and it would make me so happy if it could be crowned OC Remix :)

    For your listening pleasure, the actual URL:

    The remix name is of course "The Revenge of Mr Lemming", and (this is the crucial info!) it's based on a midi I made six years ago. Sounds somewhat better now, though.

    Feel free to correct me on any errors in the ID3-tag. I'm pretty sure Tim Wright composed the original...

    And last but not least, thank you for a great music site!
