DarkeSword Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Super Metroid: Reserve Tank ~ VARIAtions ~ A Get-Well-Soon Community Album for bLiNd ———————————————————— http://reservetank.darkesword.com/ ReMixer bLiNd was pretty sick. We wanted him to feel better, so we did a remix album of his favorite game, Super Metroid. Veterans and newbies alike participated. I think it was a great success. Please don't post this to digg or slashdot or anything like that. It's not meant to be a big OCR Project release. It's a small project just for the community; also, I don't want to have to pay extra for bandwidth/hosting issues. The quality of the tracks also covers a broad spectrum; like I said, veterans and newbies alike participated, and it shows—though I think everyone here will enjoy the music regardless. I could still use some help for mirrors. If you can help out with that, please get all of the files and upload them to your webspace and provide me with a URL. It's very easy for StarZander to add a mirror, so the more the better. Also for the artists who didn't provide a write-up: if you still want to, we can add that in. Just PM me. Before anyone asks, no, there isn't a torrent, and there are no lossless versions of the tracks. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Author Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 A souvenir of the days I believed I was a remixer Man, I wish I could make better music for occasions lie that... Oh well... please don't hate me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitoriJaNai Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I heartily agree with Jade, in this regard. Listening to some of the music right now while I download the rest. Its astonishing, really. It may not be an official OC ReMix album, but its right up there with the good ones. W00t! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audio fidelity Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 yay! - it's out! - i think this reserve tank did the trick bLiNd is coming back in full force - wait till you guys hear his golbez track for the FF4 project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antipode Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 At last! Downloading. I've been in need of some Super Metroid love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivi22 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Glad to see it released. Makes a nice early Christmas present. I'm downloading it on a crappy hotel internet connection. I hope everyone enjoys it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friendlyHunter Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I didn't think you were going to use that cover art! Here's the full-sized one if you want: http://img165.imageshack.us/img165/7795/blindcover3be2.jpg Can't wait to listen to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLyGeN Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I agree with the notion against digging this album, etc. However, I think it would be really neat if, in maybe a year's time, someone spilled the beans. And then the whole internet shits bricks. "They did what??" And it would spark the same excitement that we're feeling today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadofsky Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Finally! Downloading it now, 1st track is mighty impressive! Way to go guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHands Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I can feel the love for bLiNd, and I am jealous. Amazing work for an awesome cause. This is the kind of thing that makes me happy to post here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulinEther Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 The Fuck Happened To My Cover Art!!!!??!?!?! Heh, that's precisely what I thought, and was about to make a comment to that effect, but ... the main purpose of this album was for bLiNd to get better w/it, correct? So... I dunno.

friendlyHunter Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Aha, found it! I still like wingless's cover the best =) http://www.thewingless.com/reservetank_front.jpg http://www.thewingless.com/reservetank_back.jpg (seems the track list on the back cover is a bit out of date though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 It doesn't have zyko's track, which is partly my fault, because the tracklist I posted didn't have zyko's track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mutericator Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 1) Thank you, DarkeSword, for hosting. But wouldn't it have been wiser to create a torrent and/or a zipped version of all of the songs together to save bandwidth? 2) I'm skipping to random tracks, and from what I've heard... this is better than Relics of the Chozo. There, I said it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antipode Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 2) I'm skipping to random tracks, and from what I've heard... this is better than Relics of the Chozo. There, I said it. Well - I don't know if I'd say that. I still think RotC has a lot of charm and is really cohesive with prot's edits (and it did have some REALLY good tracks on it). A lot of it's a matter of taste since RotC went for a very different, more atmospheric kind of style. But I really did enjoy a number of these! BGC's track, Jose's track, zykO's track, and bLiNd's bonus track are my personal favorites. Considering how short the notice was, this project wound up being pretty impressive! You've got to keep in mind how quickly and efficiently this was done when you're listening to it (despite the release date). I'm glad I could finally get some new metroid material to listen to!

dish Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Yay! Thanks for hosting this. The website looks nice and slick. I'm also quite surprised that you use that as cover art instead of Wingless' (but I'm not complaining) :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emunator Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Wow, given the time limit, many of the tracks on here sound better than a lot of songs you hear on standard projects. I'm very impressed by all of this, but I guess when the cause is worth it, it's much easier to put together something this great in such little time. Bravo! It's great to hear you're doing as well as you are, Blind - my dad is suffering from the same thing and I can only hope he recovers as fast as you did. Best of luck to you! I gotta say, The Wingless' track is probably my favorite on here. I thought he was bragging earlier about having 2 tracks on the album, though - am I creating false memories, or what? I wish there were 2 Wingless tracks on the album! And, of course, it's great to hear more from Blind himself, too - stellar as always!

A lot of it's a matter of taste since RotC went for a very different, more atmospheric kind of style. I have to admit, I am rather biased - I can't stand Children of the Monkey Machine's "music", since it sounds more like background static than anything remotely resembling a medley. And Protricity's hand in everything meant that there was less variety on the whole (though, admittedly, I <3 Bound Together, which throws "genre" out the window and is basically the polar opposite idea). So yes, I'm loving the variety here. Energy Recharge and In Your Prime are my favorites thus far, as I'm listening in order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhsu Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Haha, Bundeslang's track is the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sengin Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Woo! Thanks Darkesword for hosting this. To the people listening, remember: we had like less than a week to do everything. Great stuff people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyXIII Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I echo what everyone else has been saying - Darkesword - THANK YOU! I didn't want to say anything until it was officially released for the community so bLiNd could enjoy it first - but now that it's out, I'm excited.

joe_cam Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Any chance of a zip file or a torrent with everything at once instead of having to download them separately? Or am I just missing it somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
