YoshiBlade

For those who want a special sneak peek before the album drops on three of the album's tracks and you missed @Rexy's podcast this past Friday, here is a recording for you!
https://www.radiosega.net/content/podcasts/SEGA Mixer Drive/SEGA Mixer Drive - WF-2018 Special - 14 December 2018.m4a
Skip ahead to block 3 if you want to skip straight to the preview! (but seriously though, also follow Rexy and her podcast too!

Looks like YoshiBlade has out done himself. I finally have a capstone DK2 mix. I'm not talking about quintessential DK2 (Tricky Swamp!). No, I'm talking about the mix that goes beyond the game. The one you could loop for an hour and be glad you did it (totally serious). That's this remix. I love how the start tape sound and end tape sound are timed perfectly, on repeat.
I'd also like to say that I don't find Stickerbush Symphony to be a town bicycle or anything. Sure its in the top 50, but not the top 25. Of the pure ones I only had the DnB and piano version, both rather far from the original feel, in my opinion. So thanks for trying what others have already tried before, YB. You've certainly put yourself on the map with this one.

Phan-tom-tastic and funny episode.

The OverClocked PodCast returns from the grave,
For music and mixes, a post-mortem rave.
We’re rhyming again with the spooky word “morgue,”
Because nothing else rhymes with OC ReMix.org.
There’s an album just lying in wait for you.
It’s sweet and it’s spooky; it’s Candy Corn II.
From the zone of twilight steps YoshiBlade,
With strange-but-true tales from the songs that he made.
Like a vampire’s unholy bite that will drain ya,
MajorThird sinks deep into Castlevania.
So savor this time when you still have blood vessels,
For the OverClocked PodCast Halloween Special!

Really? Its gonna have to be me? I mean Ive been fairly quite as of late but I cant let this comment section sit so barren. This is 190 proof distilled 80's served with a twist of Castlevania...I mean the samples? the Game Samples?! Used as perfectly as they can be used?! And those tom fills are brutally 80's ( feeling a strong Far Cry Blood Dragon vibe here).... in fact this track is more 80's than several years actually from the 80's ( looking at you 1980 and 1981) but for real I really don't know what else to say, a game from the 80's remixed in perfect 80's emulated style...not sure if I can say emulated cause it feels fairly authentic, but as Im fairly sure its 2017 Im just gonna have to enjoy it for what it is 2 things I love Castlevania and High energy Sythnwave

I see you there nn19, I do enjoy 2 things in this world Reason and Castlevania...This track fulfills both.

Despite his namesake, bLiNd has his eyes clearly on the prize with this one. There's something about the way bLiNd can wield the bass that causes it to resonate with every atom in the body, the grimy thud blend perfectly with the pumping bass. If this track deals in Kings and over which Kingdom they rule, bLiNd clears has sovereignty over the low end of the equalizer, where here reigns unchallenged and may he reign for 1000 years!!!! 

Unfortunately, the Staff Roll tracks have already been taken by @Slimy as a part of his Ode to Star Fox remix. 'Come in Corneria' as you call it (or 'Game Clear Demonstration' as my source file calls it) has not been claimed, but now that I've submitted the project to OCR (even though I changed the tracklist one last time just after I did), I'm reluctant to change the tracklist any more than it already has been. I'd offer you the claim as a bonus track, but you already have Clipped Wings on the way!
That being said, I've considered adding a narrative element to the album after the last conversation we had regarding a 'radio play' approach to SCRAMBLE - we boiled it down to the vocals we have at the beginning, but I still think it's a cool idea. @YoshiBlade's Candy Corn album was a big inspiration to me in this regard; listening to that whole thing gave me buckets of ideas for possible future projects.
I'll consider this over the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, everyone: feel free to let me know what you think about this.

I've received @M_Blacki's Sector Y update, and he's now let me post to the WIP spreadsheet. He's gone with the SF64 version instead of the waltz from SF SNES - give it a listen and let us know what you think!

I respond to the response of my response, but that was not my response...this is my response ------> Thank You

Official status has been granted, @Darkflamewolf - good job on initial organization, let us know how we can help, and keep at it!

Very good atmosphere here, more good stuff than bad so Its easier if I just name the stuff I wasn't grooving to....In descending order from most noticable
1) 2:09 the gating just really pulls me out...I know what your trying to do and it should work, but Ive never been able to pull it off successfully, maybe something... faster? less sinewave-ish?
2) 0:27 the toy-box/ kalimba pluck, is really dry...maybe soak it in reverb for 20min then hang dry?
3) The kick jumps in towards the end which sounds nice, but with all the glitching going on it remains fairly static, maybe a few fills?
 
Odder-den-dat, I like it the samples, they were used tastefully and clearly and this represents a nice project to be fleshed out

I opened them finally. Got a sweet morph ball powerup!! And the top of the metroid is loose plastic so it's squishy!!!

The big eevee pillow is now on our couch as a throw pillow.

Yeah, I know, this has been done before, but now i'm doing it so THERE. 
I've been wanting to listen to an artists full collective works on ocr for a while to document their growth, also so I can analyse their style and hopefully use that info to improve my own
I'm going to be picking artists from random but depending on the length of their collective works, it might take me longer than others to finish my full review. In many cases I may split my reviews into multiple parts.
Any feedback anyone has on how I decide to approach this is welcome, I am open to any suggestions to make things a little easier in terms of reading.
Without further ado, LETS DO THE THING!

I received my gift from Rexy! (I was out of town for a few days but it was waiting in the house for me!) I got a Chrono Trigger (favorite game!) shirt, a waterproof notebook, and a pack of "writer emergency cards", in addition to a thoughtful note/poem! Thanks so much, Rexy! This is awesome and thoughtful. My phone is giving me image upload issues so here's a link to a photo of my gifts- http://imgur.com/De57z5H
 
Happy holidays, all!
 
(BardicKnowledge, glad you received your gift! It's one of my favorite novels. Enjoy!)

Oh myyyyy!  @Wiesty, your physical component came in the mail!
 

 
What a colorful Aku Aku polyester shirt!  This is something I'd definitely flaunt during the Summer; thank you soooo much!
 

Got my present from my secret santa! At first I was a little skeptical of the box it came in...but inside were some adorable Eeveelution pillows! Thank you very much Ryan (and Addie!)
 

well the good news is i'm probably going to be doing most of my sleeping in Jamspace so i likely won't miss any of that

I'll be attending as part of the Radio Hyrule party this year!

Someone also made a YouTube playlist. Awesome!
 

Hello. I released this quite some time ago, but I wanted to share it here for those who might enjoy it. Feedback is appreciated. Thanks for listening!

I'll be performing with The OneUps this time. Swing on by if you want!

My library did this and I helped with procuring some of the games! From seeing it unfold over about 2 years, make sure people know that the library has games...I know right, but so many titles just sit on the shelf and never go out simply because people don't know they're there assuming a library just wouldn't have video games. XboxOne games don't really move that much, the 3DS titles are usually what I see out most, Ps4 tends to hang around, less than XboxOne, but still its amazing that people pay to rent games at a Redbox. Also check the policy of your library some make it so you have to get from a special catalog, which can limit your options. We also did a Retro-Duo rent out with vintage SNES and NES titles and it actually worked. My suggestion would be to get the 2-3 NES-HD ( if you can find one) and rent that out, people really like the idea of plug and play, lot of adults casually see the retro-games and say " Hey I remember that/those game! And I can check it out for 1-2 weeks?! Sure add it to the basket!" I would say if you wants circulation points ( how our library determines whether to continue buying new games) you could play it safe and so with multi-copies of popular games, boring and you can end up with 5 copies of COD BO2 in 2017 that nobody really checks out anymore, or get the more unique titles and try and pry open a few minds to a less traveled genre or game.
 

Hey, I know I'm not really active here anymore and I don't really do VGM remixes anymore, but I did have this last minute idea playing the halloween event the other day.
I had to add a lot of original material and embellishments given that the theme is very short, but I think it turned out good for what it is. Happy Halloween!
