Such a freaking great source. You got a really nice vibe in this, real chill with sparkling elements.

Phew, well the licensing process sure took a while (way longer than expected), but the compilation (minus four tracks that were, sadly, too obscure to get a license for) is now on more platforms:
Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/album/game-remix-tracker-homage/1613279172 
Spotify: 
Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/music/player/albums/B09V22M3RB

Tidal: https://tidal.com/browse/album/219821547 
(You'll still get the best experience on Bandcamp, but some folks were asking about these other platforms, so here you go!)

It's results time.
Hleet received 6 points and gets the last place wooden spoon.
Souperion got 10 points and ends at third place.
And the winner of PRC441 is TheVideoGamer and APZX with 13 points.
TheVideoGamer and APZX both of you are the winner by unanimous decision. Both of you may pick a source for PRC443. Send the source to me (with a MID/MP3 file, otherwise send a second source with a MID file) by PM, other options are PM me @ ThaSauce or by e-mailing to bambombim@gmail.com (I prefer a PM @Ocremix). Send your source as fast as you can, but before this Wednesday (23 March 2022), 11:00 AM ThaSauce time (18:00 UTC, 19:00 GMT).
You may select any source from any game, but not a source with an OverClocked remix or a source which has been used in PRC before. An overview of the past PRC's can be found in the following links (I recently updated this site):

This is a real feel-good tune!

This is a real feel-good tune!

Compo: MnP (Meat 'n Potatoes)
Congratulations to Souperion for winning MnP129 and HarlemHeat360 for winning the MnP130 Free Round special! As a result of the special, which involved doing whatever the hell you like, Souperion moved his source pick to this round, which also contains HarlemHeat's pick, since he/she won the special. As a result, they both chose their own source for this month's MnP source!
Here's Souperion said about his pick: 
"Sector 4 Underwater Area from Metroid Fusion. A hauntingly lovely piece which gave me pause the first time I encountered it in game. It's slow, flowing, and delicately simple. Might work out well for a double dose round, too."  - Souperion
GAME: Metroid Fusion (GBA)
SOURCE: Underwater Area
VIDEO:
And here's what HarlemHeat360 had to say about his/her's pick:
"So recently I took a solo MnP (so to say lol) run at Chrome Gadget here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eacpzYZqmvc
If you know anything about my mixes, I really love vocals and I'll add them in anything if I see the opportunity LOL. Unfortunately there was just so much here that I wanted to feel here and I couldn't fit vocals in where I wanted to! So I said forget it, I'll just make the melody more prominent instead. Maybe I went too far lol. I wanna see what you guys do with it instead! Go ahead and feel the chrome of the gadget!" - HarlemHeat360 
GAME: Sonic 3 & Knuckles (Sega Genesis)
SOURCE: Chrome Gadget

MISSION STATEMENT
The goal of Compo:MnP is to promote that "meat and potatoes" conservative approach to remixing: this includes the mood and composition of source tunes. It is up to the remixer to create their own personalization, or to simply give it a sound upgrade. Moreover, the compo is a great opportunity to hone your remixing skills and give video game music the respect that is due. SOME reinterpretation is recommended, but not required.
MnP Instructions/Guidelines
Rules for Picking a Source:
All video game sources are limited to the 6th generation of video game consoles and earlier. This was due to community consensus, where people preferred to remix more retro games, than newer games. 6th generation includes: GameCube, Xbox, PS2 and Dreamcast.  I'm now restricting big name franchises (Such as Zelda and Mega-Man) to one source per year. This is to encourage more obscure games, that not many people will know about to be picked.  Make sure you provide me both a video and a MIDI of the source in question.  Note: This is subject to change. Also keep an eye out, if any special rounds come into fruition.
Guidelines:
Modifying the Source is fine, so long as it doesn't sound completely separate from its original intent.  If you're gonna do a genre change, at least make sure the original aspect of the source is not lost. Tempo changes are fine, as long as it's not a big change. I'm talking like, going from 80bpm to 140bpm.  Submissions must be at a maximum of 20mb (keeping in step with ThaSauce's file size max), and submitted as a MP3 file. Only 1 entry per participant. Previous winner cannot participate but can submit a BONUS entry.  Try to avoid making quality-based comments on submissions until after the Round is concluded.  It is to avoid a Bias in Votes. MISC/TIPS
- When picking a source tune, make sure it has a MIDI to make people's lives easier.
- In-game sound FX are permitted, so long as they don't comprise the whole track (i.e. replacing entire MIDI tracks with just sfx)

Oh man, I remember flailing around in Chrome Gadget a lot in my younger game days. And the game as a whole. Wish I hadda picked something that went with it better, but let's see...

Sonic 3 was my childhood. Both the game and the music. Maybe speeding up metroid to fit sonic might be a cool idea.

And I had a panic attack and re-installed/resub'd my E/W Cloud.  I'll hoboska-busk later, possibly much sooner than you'd think with the whole Ukrainian situation and possibility of WW3. 

Welp, I'm stoked for that Fusion source tune at least.  Just gonna warn you guys that I've decided to not renew my Composer Cloud East/West Play and am going to be fiddling about with other orchestral libraries like VSCO 2 and stuff.  Might grab some newer IK Multimedia stuff, idk.  E/W Play is just too janky (usually post-render, which makes it even more frustrating!) on my current PC build and/or DAW to justify spending $25 CAD a month, whilst I'm on Disability Benefits ha.  Poor Hobo-Itis.  Knock on wood that I don't actually become my name-sake.  Maybe I'll change my name to HoboSka and start buskin' around. 
 

HoboKa go go go! Do your best and make some lovely music happen with whatever tools you desire. Looking forward to your submission!

Was thinking of combining DKC3 with the Fusion theme.  But I'm a bit torn on that, b/c it's outside of the compo's rules.  So I might do a YouTube "Water themed" montage later.  I just don't see a good connection between Sonic 3 Chrome Gadget and Fusion Water Area.  Maybe there is a way to combine them, but it'd probably have to be an EDM tune of some form. 
Edit Also, thanks for humoring me and listening to my maudlin display.  I'll try to keep my chin up for the rest of the year and not burden the chat with my bullshit.  U da best

That's great news. Looking forward to what you've made!

Going for mixing both sources, got one done. CLOCK'S TICKING.

Source:
Fixed it.  Made an MnP styled remix of this tune.  Except it wasn't for MnP.  Just for funsies. 

I finally got my computer fixed and think I can get back into the compo. Let's see if I can whip up something in a week!

Very nice and dramatic. Adding touches of other themes like Shiek and the Zelda main theme was a great touch.

Hi everybody!
Here's the newest arrangement - Bolero of Fire from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time!
I made a Piano arrangement of it, but thought it'd be great to make an Orchestral version of it too!!
 
 

Thank you so much for the comments, critique, and help as well as the thanks. This round was so fun because we had so many people giving it their all! I hope we can have more people like this again. Im gonna nominate a sauce soon.

Sent my msg to VideoGamer. Good luck in the next round everyone! I hope we can have as many as this time~
