    Rare to hear a remix that's so elevated above the original. Reframing this as a duet is inspired. Vocal performances are gold. I'm with Larry, I think this is a case of us perhaps chasing perfection when what's in front of us is very comfortably above our bar. Love this. Thank you for sending it to us. It's a YES from me.

    It's a remix from kwed. Larry, you played this on VGF 20 years ago, and linked it in the show notes. The link is still active. I found this doing a forum search for the phrase "noisy pillars"

    Voting Guidelines Teams were tasked with writing three mashup arrangements of two songs each, one from a Streets of Rage game and the other from an Etrian Odyssey game. In order to make your vote, listen to the remixes and, for each pair, choose the remix that fulfills the following criteria (listed in order of importance): The remix arranges both source tunes in an interesting and identifiable way into one cohesive piece of music. The remix is well-produced within the conventions of the genre. The remix is enjoyable to listen to. Stream the remixes via Soundcloud or Download the Round 1 Remix Pack (MP3). For your reference, here are the source tunes for Round 1. Streets of Rage vs. Etrian Odyssey Fighting in the Street Labyrinth IV - Sandy Barrens [Dungeon: 16F-20F] Streets of Rage 2 vs. Etrian Odyssey II Never Return Alive Scene - Wings and Cherry Blossoms [Event: Ones with Wings] Streets of Rage 3 vs. Etrian Odyssey III The Poets II Cityscape - Between the Azure Sky and Sea You can also use this thread to leave comments about the tracks. Remember to be kind and constructive. Thanks for listening, and thanks for voting!

    Absolutely beautiful. Also incredible restraint in not just going full on Song of Storms here, hahaha.

    Folks, we are getting things started THIS FRIDAY on MARCH 21st. Make sure you HOP ON THE OCR DISCORD and join the GSM3 channel so you can take part. This compo is primarily being run on the OCR Discord, so you need to be on there to participate.

    OC Records is defunct now. We still sell some older albums on Bandcamp but we don't publish new work.

    Here are our matchups for Round 3! Streets of Rage vs. Etrian Odyssey II The Last Soul Labyrinth IV - Petal Bridge [Dungeon: 16F-20F] Streets of Rage 2 vs. Etrian Odyssey III Go Straight Labyrinth VI - Cyclopean Haunt Streets of Rage 3 vs. Etrian Odyssey Shinobi Reverse Labyrinth V - Lost Shinjuku [Dungeon: 21F-25F] Your team is responsible for writing three remixes, one for for each match-up. Each remix should aim to combine both tracks into a single, cohesive piece of music. Remember, you're not writing two separate remixes and sticking them end-to-end, but writing a track that captures both sources as a piece of music that stands on its own. Remixes should be at least 1 minute in length. Every remix you submit is worth 2 points just for submitting, so make sure your team submits all three remixes or you risk falling behind. Submission Instructions Remixes should be at least 1 minute long. Use the submission form to send me your remixes. Make sure you submit a 16-bit, 44.1KHz WAV file. I will encode MP3s myself. Follow the filename conventions laid out in the form

    There are a few weak spots but overall I really like the texture of this entire track. The hard-panned synth is a problem but it's not present for the entire song so I can get past it. It's transformative, and the contrast of industrial sounding percussion with a dreamier, synthy-er sound on top is nice. YES

    Love this game, and the OST is one I come back to quite often. The arrangement here is good, but the slow string articulations are killing this for me. You've setup a monstrous task for yourself: doing a straight sequenced orchestral version of a piece that uses live orchestra. In that comparison, it's absolutely going to sound lacking. Not that it can't be done but even on its own the production of this feels flat. It doesn't feel expressive. I think the Js all made some pretty thoughtful comments and I'm gonna come down on the side of the NOs. This is a valiant effort and I think with a focused approach to articulations, you could give this one a kick in the pants. NO, resub
