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! -DJ Contrast

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! Curt

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: Artist: Trance-Canada E-Mail: trancecanada@hotmail.com Trance-Canada www.mp3.com/_trancecanada

Hi, I want to submit my first Remix. It´s the boss-theme from Super Metroid. My Artist Name is SonGoku-X and my email is: b_dibbet@web.de Hope you like it and put it on your great website. You can find the Mix at: bye SonGoku-X And sorry for my bad english

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! //David Öhlin aka Caesar ---------------------------------caesar--- caesar@kth.se http://w1.874.telia.com/~u87422502/

Ari, your diplomacy and tact are truly things of wonder

Anyone else? This one's been here awhile.

While debatable for this specific track, I don't get the seemingly widespread disrespect of fading out for an ending. It's a perfectly legitimate way to end a song, used by some of the best and/or most musically respected artists since it became an audio-engineering option. It's only a cop-out when the song truly called for something more dramatic or with specific closure - for the multitude of tracks that end on repetitions of a chorus, or any pattern within the song for that matter, I see it as an entirely viable conclusion. It troubles me that, perhaps due to the espousing of a couple of the more "known" ReMixers here at OCR, many now believe fadeouts to be a musical deus ex machina, or invalid, "hack" compositional vice. Far more talented, deservedly famous, and experienced composers, musicians, and engineers have used fadeout endings effectively than I care to mention. Perhaps it's been misused often by ReMixers specifically here, at OCR, and perhaps not. But even if it had, I wouldn't see that as cause to make any blanket conclusions that it's a musical no-no.

Credit to: SlightlyOddGuy E-Mail - slightlyoddguy@yahoo.com First remix, from a game that could use more coverage. Enjoy.

First off, this is SgtRama. My AOL account has been teh hax0r'd. I haven't gotten it back yet, it's messy, blah blah. Anywho, this is my dark wierd spooky ambient remix of Create 1 from Ultima Online from the little #ocremix comp thingy ma bob. Solidus was my UO char, thus the name, in the rare occurance it actually gets accepted and posted the name is of course subject to change to avoid confusion. anywho, so is located at...

Did I screw up? I thought we'd covered this one, but I guess not . . -djp djpretzel, I've probably sent an email every 2 months for the past 7-8 months trying to get you to post my Metal Gear Solid Remix, but to no avail. I'm trying again. Please check out the following URL: ReMixer: Nebyoolae (that would be I) ReMix: Snake Shake Length: 5'01 File: snake_shake.mp3 (128k CBR) Size: 4.7 mb Tools Used: FruityLoops, SoundForge, lots o' samples from MGS Please check it out, as even thought it's my first try, I think it's a cool electronic treatment of the old Metal Gear "Sneakin' In" theme mixed with samples from Metal Gear Solid. Sincerely, Nebyoolae

Hey yo ey. Well this is my 2nd submission, hopefully first one that gets accepted (or I'll cry.) This one is an orchestral sort of take on Act 5: Scene 1 from Ninja Gaiden. Mmmmm, anyhow, Mix Masta Munk - Ninja Gaiden Ninjutsu Symphony And if you could be ever so kind, plz rename it to be MixMastaMunk-NinjaGaidenNinjutsuSymphony.mp3 (and of course add OC Remix to the end if you see fit ) I can't name it like that for hosting reasons

I was on acid the first time I heard this. Must have been. Shoulda been posted directly, bypassing judges. Very sharp stuff.
