... ROFL

Pay attention n00b; there's an i in there. AND there are tons of Indian people in Canada. DUH. AND the family I was talking about is the family I live with in NJ; it was a FAMILY VACATION. Six of us DROVE UP. NOOB OMG

My name is pronounced SHAH-rick. Not Sha-reek.

I'm already working on it. Left it out because I was planning on doing it as a bonus track anyway.

Nice. In other news: I talk too much.

The newest episode of the VGDJ Podcast is all about Rise of the Star! Go get it!!!

NO OVERRIDE Sounds like premade loops strung together. Nice try.

Larry and Zyko already wrote dissertations, so I'll keep my vote short (also because I'm lazy, but whatever ). I really like it. I think Larry's comment about liking it as a casual listener rung true for me as well. This is the kind of stuff I listen to when I'm driving home. Real smooth stuff; lots of nice variation and a good soundscape. Percussive elements are great, especially congas. NICE. The bass is a sexy girl that's out of my league. Can't so no to this. YES

Technobias! I wish the song just sounded more anthemic, but that's probably the fault of the source tune. It's a good remix of a forgettable source tune, and you did a good job of trying to make it as catchy as possible. The production is pretty tight; not too muddy, not too much reverb, everything is just right. The structure is okay. Not a lot of risks taken, but its solidly excecuted. Decent concept, solid execution; I give it a YES.

That was an error on my part, actually; I thought I had them tagged with the proper artist names. Apparently it didn't save.

FLAC files are lossess audio encodes. CD quality with no artifacts like MP3. There's a readme file included. For more information about FLAC, go here: http://flac.sourceforge.net/ You don't have to download the FLAC files if you don't want to; if you're using a BitTorrent client that supports selecting specific files, just deselect the FLACs.

Yeah, herocraw.com and herograw.net. Two different mirrors, yo.

Rise of the Star - The Kirby's Adventure Remix Collaboration Official Site: http://kirby.ocremix.org/ Project History Thread: http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=2277 MP3s are available at the official site, and both MP3s and FLAC encodes are available via BitTorrent. Please download via BitTorrent if you can from OCR's tracker (http://bt.ocremix.org/) and help to alleviate the bandwidth for the mirrors. This thread is for comments and feedback about the album! PLEASE ENJOY! -Shariq Ansari, Project Manager <()>

Just wanted to let everyone know what's going on. I've distro'd the MP3s to the people I've chosen to be mirrors; still need to send to a few though. I'm not going to make any promises concerning an exact date for the project release; however, I hope to have the album released sometime this weekend. This is not a promise or an official release date though; just an estimate. Stay tuned. ^()^

I just need webspace. If you can provide webspace that I can directly link to, then I can send the music to you beforehand.

Each track is a separate entity. There won't be any crossfading.

I'm going to launch the project when it's ready.

Thanks; and yes, it IS open season on typos. Feel free to let me know where I've made errors. I want it to be error free before we go to the subdomain of ocremix. Coming shortly; hopefully within a week or two. No promises, though. Nope. It's not ready yet. The music is finished, but I need still need to work out details of setting up the torrent and mirrors. I want to alleviate the stress on each mirror as much as possible, so the more mirrors, the better. Like I said, the more mirrors the better, so if you can offer some webspace, that'll be great. Awesome. Just so everyone knows, the links I have up on the site right now are just DUMMY links. They're there so I can test the design of the page and tweak how it will look. They're all just href="#". Since we're getting more mirrors, I'll kill the Mirror text and just have numbers as the links.

Again, sharp eyes. Thanks.

Sharp eyes. Both errors fixed. Thanks people. Still workin on it. Bear with me, it's finals season. ; In other news, I need mirrors for the release. If you can provide a mirror, let me know.

The header menu looks a little screwy in Opera. I assume it's supposed to line horizontally below the header image, like KiC does? In Opera, it's bunched against the right side. What kind of fag uses opera though? ... No it's supposed to be on the right.

I´m happy to see this project on a concept of success so fast. Moved to WIP forum, it´s a idea of the justice. Has some cool songs around here. And the ReMixers are doing that with responsibility. Thank you: Shael Riley, DarkeSword and to everyone involved on this project!! Hey hey; no need to thank me. I'm not really involved with this project. I just moved a thread.

Well I've got a WIP of the site up. http://shariqansari.com/kirby/ This is basically what it's going to look like.

Whole song's in a minor key bro. This mix feels a lot longer than it is. Harmony used the right word; cohesion. This mix lacks that quality. I like some of the processing, but it really seems to be a lot of the same lines and arpeggios over and over again. There are also the dead spots that Harmony mentioned. Too little material for this mix. Cool beats, but ultimately, a repetitive composition. NO

That about sums it up. Feels like it goes on for much longer than it is. HOWEVER! I don't think this is a bad thing at all. I really like the texture of the piece; the soundscape is really nice. The whole song is superchill. The pizzacato is really nice, and the guitar works well against the gated synths. Real slick. YES!
