Disco Dan music

[Saunders]

I only have one copy of Wily 3 Impendium, and it appears to be only slightly different than yours (I'm thinking just an older encoding): 4:45, 160kbps, 5.45mb.

Just in case I have something that someone else doesn't have, I just copied all the Dan mixes I have into a folder and shared it: https://app.sugarsync.com/iris/wf/D7279007_4768505_6400117

It's still uploading though, so some things may not be available for a bit. Also, please ignore the naming convention (as there isn't one). I have such a mix of old OCR, VGMix, new OCR, etc. that it's all pretty much the filenames they were at the time I downloaded.

Thanks for this. Disco Dan has always been on of my favorite mixers on here. I find his mixes generally simplistic, close to the source material - and there's just something how they tend to be chill and exciting at the same time.

Awesome thanks for this. I grabbed a few from there and here are my observations:

1. Two versions of Wily 3 Impendium: just different bitrates (160 vs. 192), otherwise they sound identical to me / same length.

2. Two versions of Hard Man Hard Knuckles: same thing, 160 vs. 192

3. Two versions of Bubble Man Mix: These are the same remix, just different names & bitrates:

Bubble Man (wants to get) Funked Up OC ReMix @ 112kbps

Bubble Man (Disco Dan's Bubbly Bubbly Mix) @ 192kbps

I'm organizing these, dropping the lower-quality encodes and retagging/naming for consistency. Will upload them once I'm done, and hopefully we'll have the "ultimate" Disco Dan compendium!

All told though, if you go with the "unofficial" higher-bitrate versions of OCR tracks and add in the remaining official OCR Tracks, you should end up with a Mega Man Series - Disco Dan Redux Playlist of 20 tracks total!

This is a great album, is there any track order? And does anyone know if he's done a Boss or Wily Boss theme?

[Bundeslang]

I have a song called "Boss Crap" or something like that, which is a remix from the Boss theme of MM3.

I'll upload it later if it isn't up already.

[Bundeslang]

Anyway, here's the link to that Boss Battle Remix:

02 Mega Man 3 'Snake Man Get Down' OC ReMix

03 Mega Man 3 'Magnet Man Goes West' OC ReMix

Tracks highlighted in blue bold are the official OCR versions; the other tracks are unofficial and/or variations (including higher bitrate versions) which are in the zip file I linked above.

EDIT: Adding in the Boss Crap remix posted by Bundeslang just above (thanks for uploading that one!).

The source is the boss battle. After each level (Snake, Spark, Gemini, Needle, Shadow, Hard, Top, Magnet) there's a battle with the miniboss. The source of this battle is the source of the Boss Crap song.

I think it's the best to add it after the Needle Man stage and before Get Equipped With Strobe Light.

The only MM3 song Disco Dan didn't remix so far (as I know) is the final boss battle song.

Yeah my own playlist was somewhat arbitrary/just one suggestion. I just generally followed a "beginning to end" flow: Intro - Stages - End Music, with other stuff sprinkled in between. Bundelslang's suggestion for where to put Boss Crap in your playlist probably makes more sense.

Dont forget the ending songs.

sooo... does this mean i get to gush over my favorite song ever of all time again??

i <3 green amnesia

[JRDad]

Gush away my friend, cuz thats on disc 2 for me. Disco's music is really good music to listen to, I especially love Bubble Man wants to get funked up also...

[Kadano]

Trying to complete my Disco Dan collection. Thanks everyone for posting various mixes and things, I didn't realize I had missed so much Mega Man. It's like discovery a trove of never-before-heard mixes for one of your favorite artists!

Unfortunately, Kadanos' mediafire link is dead - does anybody still have and/or could post up the following?

• Hard Knuckles remixes (both - first mix and final 2008)
  
• Wily 3 impendium (both versions - are these different? I have only 1)
  
• Into the Fray
  

Also, is the first Hard Knuckles mix "incomplete"? The version I grabbed from this thread is 3:06 long and just ends abruptly. Wasn't sure if incomplete or file corrupt.

Hey. Haven’t been here for several years, haha. Those files are still up, but Mediafire changed something so username links don’t work anymore. http://www.mediafire.com/folder/s9x1lcdnghbbt/Disco_Dan_Mega_Man_3

This includes a 2008 version (8:51) of Blue Lightning that is different from (and imho superior to) the other 2008 version (8:45) that you included in your upload. Probably the same Xenon Odyssey posted as both have 192 kbit/s.
