    *NO* Rudra No Hihou 'The Hunted Chaser'

    in Judges Decisions

    Posted

    Anyone know the original? Sounds like it might be close just by the nature of the sequencing, but I don't know -djp

    Hi man,

    I d like to contribute to your remix collection so, I hope you ll like mine =)

    It s an arranged version of a boss track from Ludora No Hihou (Last Square soft game on super famicom) .

    The Hunted Chaser

    Waiting for your reply.

    Regards

    Rks

    UPDATE FROM DC13: The submitter didn't know the actual title of the game he was ReMixing, which is a shame. The song he ReMixed is from Rudra No Hihou. The original composer is Ryuji Sasai (You might know him for being part of the FFMQ music team). After sifting through about 60 songs, I found the original. You can download it here: http://66.57.177.30/darkcecil13/rnh-28.spc - Screenies for DJP (If accepted): http://www.vgmuseum.com/images/snes01/01/rudra.html (Yes, he could have easily found these, but, hey, I was already here)

    *NO* Maniac Mansion 'Maniac MoFo'

    in Judges Decisions

    Posted

    I'm not sure that this is quite what you're site is about, but this mad hip hop tune by the Desert Empire's hottest rap group should blow your socks off.

    "MoFo Maniac"

    based on the theme to Maniac Mansion for the NES

    Produced by The MilkMan Morgan for the Honky Mofos

    featuring The MilkMan Morgan and Kibbone the Naughty Caucasian

    Official MoFo Website is at

    the song is hosted at

    give it a listen. We hope you dig it and chose to host us on your site. Thank you for your consideration.

    *NO* StarTropics 'Underground'

    The submission.

    Hi there.

    Let me first say I've been a fan of your site before I even knew it existed! On the currently neutered napster and kazaa I had downloaded remixes with OC in the title. And those were ska arrangements - initially I thought it stood for "Orange County". I had no idea there was this HUGE movement for reviving video game soundtracks. Let me tell you, it's awesome to see I'm not such a freakish geek after all; well, at least in the regards of digging video game music.

    The timing of this discovery is rather providential, too. I just finished a Startropics remix this very day and was checking on Mp3.com to see if anyone else had done it, and ONE dude had. Fairlight - "Test of Island Courage". From there I learned of OC.com.

    So yeah. This is my first submission. I have arrangements in mind for other Startropics themes, too, and then other old skool games.

    Hope you like it!

    *NO* Samurai Shodown 'Nakoruru is Like Immortal'

    in Judges Decisions

    Posted

    Note: Thought about using the form rejection letter here, but the guitar playing is decent so I thought it at least deserved some feedback. Was I wrong? -djp

    I did a cover/remix of Nakoruru's theme from Samurai Shodown.

    It consists of the theme playing from NGPC version with sound effects from SS4.. followed by live guitar playing over it... followed by a metal outro.

    The address of the song is..

    I couldn't figure out how to do the ID3v1 tags on my mac but this is the info. I hope it isn't a problem..

    Hi Mr Pretzel,

    please consider downloading my newest remix.

    I wanted to capture the eerie atmosphere in the superb Super Metroid with this techno-ish interpretation. Did I succeed? You be the judge...

    *NO* Final Fantasy 4 'Cry in 1986'

    in Judges Decisions

    Posted

    Hey there, I polished up a remix tonight, and figured it'd be a good one to

    start off with, and see if it can get accepted.

    I dubbed it "Cry in 1986." It's a version of Cry in Sorrow from FFIV, with

    an *almost* power ballad feel to most of it. I guess I'll let you draw your

    own conclusions ;P

    Here's the URL.

    Thanks for the time

    I know i've submitted this before, but i've fixed it up

    It's a rock remix of and AOEII Music part thing. Since this is my first time actually submitting, i'm not quite sure what to put in this e-mail. I used Anvil Studio and a Keyboard to make it. Uhhh... yeah. it's at

    I don't have a website, yet.

    OCR00867 - Ninja Gaiden "Death of a Legend"

    in ReMix Reviews & Comments

    Posted

    "Bad transitions"?

    Not all classical music follows strict guidelines for key changes. Try listening to anything at all from the Romantic era (Mahler, Stravinsky, Schubert, et. al.)

    This is typical awesome Russell Cox fare.

    -steve

    Been there, done that, got the T-shit. Prefer Tchaikovsky, Wagner and Dvorak from that period, myself, but to your point: I'm not one to deem almost any transition as "wrong" technically, but "bad" is different from "wrong" and that's more where I was headed. Even if something is "acceptable" within a given genre, era, what have you, it still needs to work musically, and this felt abrupt and, as noted, forced. Everyone should be well aware I'm a big Russell Cox fan, but I also calls 'em like I seens 'em, and I wouldn't equate someone saying something is bad with them saying it's wrong, as one is subjective and the other usually implies objectivity.

    *NO* Breath of Fire 2 'Glory to God'

    in Judges Decisions

    Posted

    Hello, I am Kentaro, a new potential contributer to OCR. This will be my first submission, and I thank you for your time. The song is a remix of "Decadence of God" from Breath of Fire 2 for the SNES and GBA, also I believe your first submission for that game as well (disregarding regected submissions, of course). The Remix title is "Glory to God", and it is done in a symphonic metal style. I, as might be clear from listening to the mp3, use SoundFonts personally, and this makes use of a collection I have been amassing for nearly a year now, yet I have been composing and remixing for far longer than that.

    The file can be found at yes, there are undescores there), ID3v2 tag complete. It is about 1.8MBytes

    Thank you again for your time. Even if your judges do not find this particular song worthy of the honor of appearing on your page, I am constantly trying to improve my ability, and you may hear from me again in the extended future.

    ~~Kentaro~~

    *NO* Seiken Densetsu 3 'Another Winter'

    in Judges Decisions

    Posted

    Hey Pretzel, I'm back with something new! I made my new track in about 18

    hours after I submitted my last mix, and it turned out a lot better than

    might be expected.

    Track: Another Winter

    Game: Seiken Densetsu 3

    Remix name: Another Eternal Winter

    Track location:

    Style: Orcestral Mix

    I took the time to get an MP3.com account for more reliable uploads. Damn

    Geoshitties and their awful bandwidth rules >_> If my last track didn't

    download right, it's uploaded at the site as well.

    While we're talking about Seiken Densetsu games, there's fault in a couple

    of submissions.

    Seiken_Densetsu_3_Electric_Fields_OC_ReMix = Not from Seiken Densetsu 3.

    This is most definitely from Seiken Densetsu 2/Secret of Mana instead...

    Forest track... and Elinee the witch's track in one...

    Secret_of_Mana_FearOfTheHeavensFlow_OC_ReMix = Original song with simple

    percussion on top. To quote the submission guide - (under "3. What are the

    general guidelines for what / how to ReMix??")

    "In other words, don't just take the original and drop a few drum loops on

    top."

    Eh, I'm not trying to be nitpicky, it just pisses me off to see people who

    try to get away with such things. The first track is just misplaced, so it

    simply needs to be moved. Now, to find a spark of inspiration for my next

    track... hrrrmm...

    *NO* Final Fantasy 7 'Lord of Destruction'

    in Judges Decisions

    Posted

    This is my first submission to Overclocked. I've been doing remixes for about 3 years now but never really thought they were good enough to submit, until a friend of mine bugged me into sending this in... Anyways, this is a remix of "One Winged Angel", FFVII, last boss theme. I kind of noticed there weren't many battle remixes on Overclocked, so it seemed appropriate to send this in. This is mostly a set of guitars, distorted and rock... yeah... I'm not good at describing music (never took music theory in school...) Oh and also, the actual song file is set to loop infinitely, but for submission purposes I let it go through one loop then faded out... kind of long as is anyways.

    My handle is Moagim Reborn, website is at

    *NO* Donkey Kong Country 2 'Mora Mare'

    in Judges Decisions

    Posted

    Hey, how's it goin? Recently, I listened to my Brambly Rivers remix and almost vomitted, so I started work on a piece using some of my brand new equipment (i.e. Korg Triton) and a better understanding of music in general. The result was this short but sweet piece, titled (in Italian) Mora Mare. As I absolutely love the Bramble theme from DKC2, I felt I needed to do it justice, and redeem my past mistakes.

    Where to get:

    Who to credit:

    Wintermute (wintermute@cvinternet.net)

    Thanks for considering this song for posting on your fine website!

    Here's my submission:

    Please credit this submission to "gutzalpus".

    ID3 tags are set up as you described in the submission FAQ.

    I have this up on vgmix.com and some of the people there recommended I

    submit to your site. I'd be interested to hear your comments on this

    arrangement. It's a solo piano arrangement of the intro theme to Chrono

    Cross.

    Thanks,

    Joe

    OCR00849 - *YES* Castlevania 2 'No Flesh Allowed' *FT*

    in Judges Decisions

    Posted

    Dan was right about it not varying much, as it repeats an earlier part later on, but it's still way up there on the quality scale as far as I'm concerned.

    Vote: Yes

    For the record, I concur - Dan is usually a bit stricter than other judges and often I agree with his hesistance on mixes that are otherwise praised. We do want to keep a relatively high bar. Here, though, I think it was pretty clear to me at least that this ReMix is worthy.
