halc Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 this track totally rocks. i could totally imagine brawling it out to this. great stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I gotta say, I also wasn't quite a believer before this was finalized, but it really works awesome in the actual game. BGC's take on the theme would have been awesome as well, but I'm feelin' the Red Cyclone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwordBreaker Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Shael, pat your band buddies on the back for me, will you? Seriously, when I first listened to this track in-game, I was shocked because it sounded so awesome. I didn't recall being that attracted to the Asphalt version this much (no offense to the original remixer) so I kept wondering whether the HD version was a completely new track or the same one remastered. Also, I noticed "The Grammar Club" in the game's credits and kept wondering which track did you guys contribute to. Anyway, enough of my blabbering. Loving this track. Don't have anything in particular to complain about aside from Capcom's "short length" stipulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big giant circles Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Whew! Finally glad to hear this! Man, you guys put on a rockin' performance of this track, Shael! (If I actually make it to M7) I want to hear this live, yo! Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Not enough reinterpretation going on here. Way too short. If it is intended to be in a game, then there are no problems with it, but I do not think it fits with the standards of this site. Plus the guitar lead which plays the main theme (00:24) needed more power. You guys could do much better than this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillRock Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I'm not sure about this one. I'm loving the arrangement, it has lots of energy. The sounds don't quite mesh well to me tho, I'm especially not a fan of that guitar sound Don't take that the wrong way tho, I do like it Not to mention I haven't played the game - YET. If it works with the game - and it does very well according to reviewers here - thats good enough for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Fox Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 The bass tone alone has that Zangief sweat n' muscles all over it. I also like the guitar tone: I don't think it needs more power, more flash, more wank or anything. It's gritty, rough, indie, and totally friggin awesome in a totally mad-Russian-fighter way. This is the right song for someone who trains in Siberia, probably wrestling with polar bears without the use of cheesy karate and fireballs. Again, Shael gets it all. Edit: Wait, are there any polar bears in Siberia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe_cam Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 There is one person above me that should stop talking. Very hot song, Mr. Riley and company. This is very much making me want to drop the money to buy the game that I probably won't really play anyways just to hear it in the game. Fuck the haters, Grammar Club is sexy.

kaijin Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 There is one person above me that should stop talking.Very hot song, Mr. Riley and company. This is very much making me want to drop the money to buy the game that I probably won't really play anyways just to hear it in the game. Fuck the haters, Grammar Club is sexy. Hardly, I like most of the work Shael did on this project, but this song seriously ruined the game for me. There were a few tracks I was iffy about while playing the game, but this one sealed the deal. I had to exit my game and switch the soundtrack to classic, if only to avoid having to hear this come up again. No offense, but Zangief's theme is as sacred as Sagat's to me, and I'm just keeping it real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negativeions Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I don't know if this is the same as the HD one but this rocks! I love it. It's one of the best remixes on the HD remix soundtrack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Downunder Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Beefy bass? Check... Killer guitar? Check... Plenty'o attitude...? ... Definately in check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Great arrangement, it's loose and burly, just like Zangief is (or so I hear), and I really love the scratching breakdown. I do agree that the lead guitar could have used a touch more sustain, but it does have a pretty distinct indie vibe to it. THe punctuated sections near the end were great, very strong work there. Mastering is like Clamato in that it is super hot and I needed to reduce my normal listening volume a lot. Not a huge fan of that, but it's probably just the Capcom way of making sure it sounded uniform on all TVs. Nice work guys, keep on rocking.

zyrkain Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I'm curious as to why Red Cyclone added to OCR's library seems to be little more then a merging of the 2 seperate Red Cyclone mixes found in the new album? seems a little silly to me...

Some fans only download singles mixes, some grab entire albums. We post individual mixes created for our albums all the time. Nothing precludes an arrangement from an album being posted to the site just because it was on an album. Otherwise, no tracks from our other 11 albums would be posted as individual mixes. Albums aren't required to meet individual OC ReMix standards for interpretation or production, so being posted as a solo mix is another matter entirely.

Project R2K Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I love this! The scratching kinda reminds me of Linkin Park. Great work Grammar Club. I look forward to hearing more in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Penwald Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Love the sound of the guitar, and the scratching breakdown is great. Though I wonder how well this version fits into the game (which I haven't played yet, lol PSN Europe). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwordBreaker Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 This is much better. The vocals gave the power this song needed. Makes me wonder why didn't the band submit this instead of the instrumental. Don't get me wrong; the instrumental is still as addictive as ever to me. But the vocals version is just beyond cool!

The Xyco Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I've had multiple tell me that this mix really brought out the best of the source -- bringing to light a song that was previously unlistenable and forgettable, and turning into something infinitely more enjoyable and memorable. I couldn't agree with them more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 ...and I thought the instrumental was good. I've had multiple tell me that this mix really brought out the best of the source -- bringing to light a song that was previously unlistenable and forgettable, and turning into something infinitely more enjoyable and memorable. This really sums up what they've done with Zangief's theme better than I could have. The vocals really add another layer of awesomeness to a good mix. I also agree w/ Swordbreaker. can we get some lyrics? Please and thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You broke every single bone in my body when I was blown away by this impenetrably awesome track. Can we get some lyrics? Pretty please?

Battery Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 It's not perfect, but this is what I've pulled from the song so far: From the highest mountain to the deepest sands Yo I got the kind of moves Make you clap your hands Full of trained [super supers??] like it's on demand The kind of discipline none of you could understand Every day is a challenge Every day is a test Traveled all the way here just to prove I'm the best March into this land and it's in the victory Me holding the ground is just how its supposed to be Bring on the game is on Bring the take down If ya ass beat'em then I'm going to right now Shut the match in the closet, your shot Skills too weak for the strength I've got With just one move I will take you down 'Cause allow me to introduce you to the ground Extra large when I take to the skies Will suprise most but I'm leaving here with the prize I've wrestled with my demons Wrestled with bears At this altitude nobody compares Hit you with the sleeper Then I broke some wrists Nothing like the pound that I hold in my fist Always like my odds Even one against a million You should not be confused 'Cause I've never been the villain Don't know what to call me You can call me what they call me back home Red Cyclone Life is a battle and It isn't over until I say so [son this is?] me and you You're gonna be my tornado And I don't know why I live to fight Stuff it in right with a bottle of vodka Burly man laugh if you're done it will sock ya Not here for dough but I'll drop the elbow Breaking you in half when a [??] fiasco? Check here right now Check your pulse I'm here to stay While you're out like a ghost Pretty young things just get in the way 'Cause I'm not here for work baby this is just play I get a little more hardcore Over here It's all in the fear The name you revere Every challenger I bring them down Throw'em through the panel Exposed at what's happened And you better change the channel Always like my odds Even one against a million You should not be confused 'Cause I've never been the villain Don't know what to call me You can call me what they call me back home Red Cyclone Life is a battle and It isn't over until I say so [son this is?] me and you You're gonna be my tornado And I don't know why I live to fight I don't know why I live to fight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
