  1. I'm digging this one back up from the depths of forum purgatory to post

    . Koji Kondo was clearly inspired by this when writing the Zelda soundtrack, especially with the dungeon theme pretty blatantly using the riff at 2:00. I'm also getting a bit of a Link to the Past "Hyrule Castle" vibe during the orchestral break.

    Of course, this just makes me want to hear a Deep Purple-inspired remix of the Zelda theme now.

  2. Niiiiice, though I admit I am a little disappointed at the lack of 'Technodrome: Let's Kick Shell' here.

    MrBulbamike is probably my favorite guy on YouTube doing this stuff. For some great examples, check out his arrangements of

  3. Wow, it's been nearly 5 years since SoS was released, and almost 9 years since its inception. while there are a number of of things I do wish I could go back and change, I'm still proud of what we were able to accomplish with a project of this magnitude. I came across the SEMO review of the album recently, and it made me reflect on the album as a whole as well as the process of directing it. I won't disagree with anything Quintin said at all, and I actually found it rather nice to get some honest critique and feedback. It's an interesting read, for sure.

    This album was a learning experience for myself and I'm sure for the others involved as well, and in spite of its flaws in retrospect, I still stand by SoS as a great achievement. If you're still enjoying the album, or even just discovering it after 5 years, thank you.

    My vote for new character.

    I say all of this as a huge fan of the F-Zero franchise: I'm actually not sure we'll be seeing any F-Zero characters or stages this time. The series hasn't been relevant since the GameCube, and Nintendo was so disinterested that SEGA had to develop that one.

  5. If i remember correctly this wasn't like an anti piracy measure, but just simply a problem with the laser on the XB "Original", it didn't have the umph to push through the layers of a CD-R or something along those lines. I think the early 360's had a similar problem.

    Yeah, the cheap Thompson disc drives that Microsoft used in a lot of earlier manufacturing runs of the system was complete shit. Mine originally came with a drive that never read CD-Rs and died completely within two years. Eventually they started using Philips and Samsung drives that fared much better, but they can be pretty hard to find.
