    Pirates!

    Red Pearl was a heads-up pick! You'd have to know it rather than search for it, methinks.

    Retro Legends!

    These are some of the most legendary retro ReMixes I've heard in OCR's lifetime! They can either be chiptune, use basic waveforms, or bring an older genre into modernity!
  3. I'm on the side of the ninjas!
  4. Some of the most immersive/atmospheric OC ReMixes that I frequently return to :-)
  5. Rock/metal that will get you started on any morning or make for a good time!
  6. Woah, changing the melody to minor was really cool. I love it.
  7. Decided to keep it short and sweet this time! But I could see it making sense to extend the ending further!
  8. Caught this on rainwave. Didn't realize OA covered this before, didn't even recognize that it was him for a bit. Good stuff!
  9. Definitely quirky! I think the highlights for me were the copious uses of funny fx like at 1:40 with the phone and the... flexitone?? This ride was a little trippy, a little bit of a throwback, and a little weird. Maybe that was the point.
  10. Definitely not what I expect from hearing that Terra and Schala got combined 🤣 Luckily the mixing is convincing of the approach and intent. The vocal clips threw me off a bit, but I think they ultimately worked out. The sound design was a touch basic (such as the 3:15 saws and the 3:40 low chord stabs), but this was still enjoyable overall, and relatively smooth in the arrangement department.
  11. Kristina's been collabing a lot lately, really cool to see. I'm not sure if she's explored Drum & Bass a ton, but this was a neat exploration into that genre if she hadn't, and well-executed at an immersive angle if she has! I like the ending from Wes as well, adds a somewhat spooky element, but still maintained the bubbly nature of Kristina's usual mixes.
  12. Rebecca's name is quickly becoming synonymous with foresty ethereal orchestral music :-) Well done!
  13. Ay 😀 This was definitely a blast to write, and for me the challenge was in being able to replicate some of the original chords. Despite zircon's crisp production, he can write some tough chords. I couldn't just hear them and mouse them in, so I felt them out on my keyboard :) (Also Larry, you're really nailing Dave's wordplay and style 👍)
  14. Engaging indeed! Definitely would like to see this guy return :)
  15. Some cool chord progressions going on here! I also like the vocals. Good amount of cheesy.
  16. This may be one of my new favorite albums on the site. Some highlight tracks on the album: Life is Peachy - loved the chill vibes on here Road Rage - love me some metal A Translator's Tale - widely spans multiple genres, with smooth transitions :) Bonhomme de Neige - smooth sound design, cool distortion! Gold Soul - spot-on performances, and clean grooves! Desert Smash - nice to see Middle-Eastern music represented, and I like the changes into half time, double time, and regular time Sportsball - clean performances; relaxing, and chill Think on Your Feet - props on the bass solo, and the triplet drums in the middle :) (don't get me wrong though, every track on the album was good!)
  17. How has no one said anything? :( This is actually such a wide arrangement that isn't trapped in a single genre, I love it.
  18. Thank you for posting this! Now I know I can tackle other iconic themes. ;-)
  19. Happy 25th :D - I discovered OCR while I was making my Pokemon Crystal walkthrough on YouTube, and I was looking for background music each week. The first song I picked was "Beamsabre Beat ZERO v2" from Shariq. This was like 2009. - I've been a fan of these artists or become a fan lately (if I didn't list you I just forgot xD): zircon - intriguing sound design, surprising chord progressions, and crisp production Joshua Morse - well-established "distinctive sound", exciting arrangements, funky vibe WillRock - well-established "distinctive sound", shredding solos, nostalgic vibe Chimpazilla - well-established "distinctive sound", open-minded, friendly personality Big Giant Circles - clean production, wholesome personality, well-established "distinctive sound" Juan Medrano - guitar master, nostalgic vibe, clean production Prince uf Darkness - guitar shredder, clean production, magnum opus orchestrator J Damashii - crazy arrangements, creative mind, wacky personality bLiNd - clean production, wholesome personality, EDM master Sam Dillard - incredible orchestrations, expansive knowledge of dynamics, creative mind - Here are some of my favorite tracks of all time: The Unholy Wars (Juan Medrano + Dhsu) Become Death (J Damashii + me) Blast Beatdown (zircon + tefnek) Bleets of Lightning (WillRock) The God Machine (Vig) Tropical Paradise - ambient (Big Giant Circles) Beyond the Glass (Sam Dillard) Club King Bowser (bLiNd) There's a Zomboss on my Roof (Chimpazilla + me) Prancing Dad (Prince uf Darkness) Fossil Fuels (Joshua Morse)
  20. I wanted to see if I could mock up the first 2 minutes of Jordan Rudess's "Embers" from "Permission to Fly", this is how it turned out :) Took about 2 hours. https://app.box.com/s/kd953a98fc19e8insm5ur0zapxmiu7x4 Here's the original: --- I used: - Shreddage 3 Jupiter (lead) - Shreddage 3 Precision Bass - Shreddage Drums - Shreddage Amp XTC - TruePianos
  21. Ooh, nice and quirky stuff going on with the pitchy synth at the beginning. Reminds me a bit of Mazedude's stuff. Pretty cool jam!
  22. Lots of cool textures going on here! I'd imagine there were at least 30 layers. I really liked the bells/vibraphone! Cool solo section at 3:10 as well!
  23. Absolutely incredible! The detail work on this is much appreciated, and there are a lot of cool harmonic liberties taken to make the well-known motifs fresh. I especially liked the bass drone around the 2:50 - 3:36 mark.
  24. Coming tonight! This is a Middle-Eastern / World ReMix of "Evil Twin" that combines the Egyptian vibe of the original with Lindsey's 2012 Dubstep vibes!
