The Joker

Hm, I'm no sure I would be all riled up after seeing Cameron boobies, if right after, I had to cut the chest cavity open & reach in. It would just sully the whole thing. I think, if given the chance, John would return to the "present", even more world weary than before. With a newfound chip on his shoulders. Probably leading up to T4 salvation. Kinda like the last Hulk movie could be a considered a sequel to Ang Lee's Hulk, as a continuation of the TV series, or as a new standalone movie. That's how I think they originally intended the show to function as. All in all, I loved this episode. The storyline really kicked into high gear the last few episodes, & I'm left wanting, considering that that was probably the series finale... on Fox. They only own the rights to first broadcast I believe. Technically, the guys that are doing T4 produce the show. So, I hope the show keeps on, keeping on.

I uploaded my mix already. So, I'm done, right?

Like I said, there is jo list. Those bosses are just off the top of my head. I'd really like for artists to have the flexibility in this project to remix a boss song of their choosing, from any game, as long as it's a boss fight. Like, say, if they ever wanted to remix that mini boss theme from SMB3, they could do it. It's not on the list, but it's a boss theme, so it's good.

Also, if, like the coop & evktalo, you wanna remix for this project & think you might not be up to the task, send a wip anyway. The idea & the arrangement might be awesome enough that we can find a way to boost the production value as time goes by.

So, Luiza is once again part of the Boss Themes project. Awesomeness.

Also, evktalo had been brought on to give some feedback on the wips board, once we have some wips. So, yeah, awesome! Also, I'm contacting various people, get the ball rolling, get some more songs.

You could do a mashup, but I'd still say it should be focused on one theme over the other. More a cameo appearance than anything.

I appreciate everyone giving suggestions, but the only way they're making it on, is if someone claims them, & shows me a good wip. Get the word out!

Exactly. Like the Zelda OoT mini boss theme is not specific to anyone, but it's still a boss theme, so I'd take it. Also, BGC, that's awesome. If you could do anything, that'd be sweet, if not, it's still cool you checked us out.

So, we got 2 new joins! Yay! Welcome Rozovian & jmr! Also, Hands, whenever you get a wip that sounds good eneough to you, send it over & I'll give it a listen.

I think some people missed the part where I said that I'd add more bosses as the project went, & artists wanted to do them. I really want SoR2's boss themes in there as well, someone just has to say they want it, & show me a wip. i just really put the bosses off the top of my head on the list, I really hope this gets bigger & gets more obscure boss themes.

So, yeah, relaunched! http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=22663 Anyone who was a part of this, & still wants to be a part, PM me, with a wip. Also, Admins, I'd like to ask that this thread be locked.

BadAss The Boss Themes Project Volume 1 Trailer: BadAss Volume 1 is now locked in! We're this much closer to unleashing hell on an unassuming populace! Can you feel it?! Can you hear it?! Thats the sound of Ass kickery of a magnitude previously unheard of! We're gonna change the OCR remix project game! So, yeah, Ass Kickery! PURPOSE The reason for this project is to make an album that celebrates the awesomeness, as well as kick-assery, of the Villains of the games we love. Why, you might ask. Simple, I'd respond, ”Cause they're badassed, that‘s why.” Boss & Mini boss themes, Mini Boss Battle themes, & Villain character themes are the order of the day. Other tracks from the respective game can also be added to add some flavor, as long as the meat & potatoes are the Bosses theme. GENRE Although I'd like to allow a wide range of styles for this project, I'd like to keep it in the dark, aggressive territory. A spiritual sequel to Dark Side of Phobos, in a sense. I'd like anything from ominous, creepy ambient trip hop (like Akira Yamaoka), to aggressive rock, to bombastic pounding orchestral, to fight electronica (kinda like TCM or Prodigy), & genre mashes filled with awesomeness. Basically music that sets the stage for ass-kickery (hardcore style). TRACKS SELECTION So, track selection is open. You can choose any boss theme, from any game, even if it's not listed. To reiterate, if you want to do a theme that's not listed, let me know, & based on how good your wip is, I'll add it. No one is a sure thing until I or a another coordinator (at a future date) tells you, which means even if you get a track up, if someone comes along that's a bit better, then, we have a old west duel. Best "shooter", or in this case track, wins. Best in this case not necessarily the most pro sounding, but the most creative & evocative of the project. Also, access to the Boss Themes sub forum at http://www.kngi.org/phpbb3/index.php(it's a new urly). You know you wants it!

I'm gonna go on record & say, I love all my children*, even the ugly ones. *children meaning songs.

Some of my older stuff was a pain to try to rework. Cold Memory in particular, It was actually a lot more dynamic, & quite a bit quieter, which is what I intended it to be. I had to up the volume for it to fit with the rest of the tracks, so, that's probably why it sounds fuller than it was. My favorite solo track from this is Standing up, as it's more current with what I can do now, as well as different than a lot of stuff I usually do.

You know, I wish the alternate tracks got more attention. It's really interesting to hear where other people arrived when they approached Arche's theme. Also, I'm amazed at how different the project version of "Cold Memory" is to the initial finished one. Plus, I wonder how "Chronometrical (teh epicness edit)" is being recieved, as opposed to the project version. Quick note, I listened to the project in one sitting, while I did other stuff, it is indeed an exquisite ride. I'm really, really proud to have been a part at what was, & will probably continue to be, the best project I've had the honour to be a part of. I shout , "We had some good times, didn't we?" And you'd whisper back, "Yeah, I guess!" Then blue dong appears & destroys a city.* *I watched the Watchmen the other day. There was a lot of dong in it. Both blue, & of bird. it had boobs, too, so it wasn't a complete sausage fest.

I was gonna wait until you got to all my tracks, Evk, but I really do appreciate all the time you're spending on my tracks. Good & bad that you find, it's awesome that someone is actually picking them apart. I think, for the most part, the things that are irking you are the things I tend to do on purpose, because I'm weird, & have strange tastes. Though, I am a bit surprised that you liked what I did to the ending of Momentary, as I thought that section was the weakest in the track. But it's awesome that you're putting that much thought into your critiques. I love reading them!

Awesome! I blame the years long wait, & dementia.

Um, I've got a newer version of my track. I'll upload asap. So, yeah, I like tacos.

Kinda. Lea did the majority of the arrangement, but it lacked dynamics & an ending. So, that's where I came in, I just polished what she had, added an ending, & produced the thing. It's still pretty much her baby, though.

holy crap! you mean, we actually released this mother sucker!!!! I'm so stoked. It really has been a wonderfull experience working with these guys, now I get's to hear the finals versions, & I'm a gonna write another post in this here.

Am I late again? Oh well, Happy Belatedness, ya'll!

I really enjoyed this album. Omen & Warrior's Dance being the standouts. It's really hard, & i can imagine getting into some Ong Bak fights with this as the backing music.
