Next year is the 75th anniversary of DC Comics' classic character, Batman. They're planning on pulling out all the stops with a lot of crazy stuff going on in the comic books. This is an idea that came up during on of the OCR Talkbacks: there've been a lot of Batman video games over the years with great music, from the old Sunsoft games all the way up to the new Arkham series. It makes perfect sense for OC ReMix to release a Batman album to help celebrate the 75th anniversary, filled with remixes of these songs. I won't be running this project myself (no time, too many projects, etc.), so I'd like for someone to volunteer to take the reigns and organize everything. The only thing I will say is that it should remix music from Batman video games, not music from any of the Batman TV shows, cartoons, or movies. We are OC ReMix, after all. Anyone up to the task?

We?

The Kindle version of The Way of Kings, by OC ReMix fan and awesome fantasy author Brandon Sanderson, on sale on Amazon for $1.26. Many OCR staffers are fans of this book. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003P2WO5E?tag=brandsande-20 GET!

Brandon you should throw the character themes in a google doc spreadsheet or something and link to that. Better to not maintain pertinent info about the competition in two separate threads. That way if people have questions about sources they can ask and have them answered here, in the main competition thread.

Pretty good man!

Hey are you interested in doing a chillout track for the end with either Smash or Injustice? Last year we did Pokémon as the chillout track, sort of the "everything was super hype for the weekend but now let's just relax on the drive home." I think it's a nice way to close out the album. If you take one of the games, I can take the other, and we can decide who does the chillout track.

You are super weird.

Jeff wasn't on Sixto's track. That was an error on my part (Jeff worked on another track with Sixto for a different project I'm running, I mixed things up). That track was 100% Sixto.

Feel like funking this one up? Local VS Player Select

Not a clique.

Jason can I get you on King of Fighters?

The physical copy is coming out in a couple of weeks. You can pre-order it on CDBaby. Theoretically yes, but it's not something we're planning on pursuing. I can see where you're heading with this and I want to stop you right there and make something very clear: Capcom approached us on this, and we're selling this album because that was their desire. We got a good deal set up with them concerning licensing costs and other stuff, which is why it was worth our while to do a commercial album. But the situation with Capcom is not typical, and we don't want any project directors to start getting dollar signs in their eyes with this kind of thing. As stated elsewhere, OC ReMix's main focus will always be a by-fans-for-fans community, providing music at no charge whenever possible. As indicated by this album, we're not opposed to working closely with publishers to put out fully-licensed commercial releases that help fund the site and give back a little to the artists, but the vast majority of music coming out of OC ReMix will be in line with what we've been doing for nearly 14 years.

Short answer: yes. Slightly longer answer: they wanted to put out an album or two to celebrate the 25th Anniversary. So they contacted us because they know that we know VGM and have the people do it well. We worked out a nice deal with them, and that was that. Another bonus: because of the licensing deal we have, we are actually able to SELL the physical copies at all of our convention appearances. I can't tell you how many times someone's come up to our merch table and said "hey can i buy sound of speed/apex 2013/final fantasy xvivxivxivxvix?" and one of us just has to make that "eehhhhhhhhh" face and start saying "wellll because of copyriiiiights and licensiiiing we reeeeaally can't sellll the albums..." It's just the worst, man. With this album we can actually say "We have an album for SALE! You can BUY it! With MONEY!"

Nope. YouTube specifically precluded under terms (can't sync to video), and we're licensed to sell, not give away, so downloadable mixposts are no good either.

Hey everyone. Need final tracks by NOVEMBER 30th. Apex 2014 is in January during MLK weekend. We have to have PHYSICAL copies of the album ready to distribute AT the event, so November 30 is a critical deadline to hit so that we can get the physical order in and done. Thanks!

Please stop saying "selling out." It's incredibly insulting.

Uh huh.

OCR is and always will be very much about music by the community and for the community. Free mixposts and free albums constantly rolling out year 'round. You will never run out of free music to listen to from us. Commercial albums produced in collaboration with game companies is a fun way for the site to support itself. You won't see these often, I think. Just in very specific circumstances when the terms are favorable for us. I don't want to say too much or go into too many details, but Capcom set up a pretty good arrangement with us for this album, which is part of why we did it.

Hopefully if we ever do something like this again we can get you in on it. I loved your GMRB track from way back when!

Very proud to finally present this album to everyone. I hope everyone enjoys what they hear. Please let us know what you think!

I'm incredibly pleased with how this album turned out, and I'm very excited for everyone to hear it. I hope everyone out there will enjoy it as much as I do. Here's to 25 more years of Mega Man!"
