IrateResearchers Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Hello. I am requesting that someone might remix one of the great old strategy games. Certainly someone here must have played it, and certainly they've heard the music as their armies of machines did battle with one another. I give you this request for several tracks to be remade. Ambush in the Passage: link Attack: link Forest Green: link Warpath: link Fire and Ice: link March Unto Death: link Brutal Battle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WulGs5aDCb4 Futile Attempt: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jx1hWRDt3tg&feature=related Death and Decay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DPok-2ciik&feature=related Where Am I?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGD0B7arXY8&feature=related Licking Wounds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ormnmIE_aLY&feature=related I think that's all the tracks I'd like to hear. I'm now going to wait to see if anyone is interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obtuse Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I use to love playing Total Annihilation. You could actually play it over dial up with friends. We'd have peace treaties so we couldn't fight each other for 20 minutes rather than just rushing each other. Good times. I don't think I ever played with the music on so i'll check it out. I remember I used to play this with Gustav Holst's "The Planets" in the background. It fit so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember I used to play this with Gustav Holst's "The Planets" in the background. It fit so well. It ran surprisingly well online: less lag than C&C. My friends modded it to be 'balanced.' They were quite cutthroat, although we'd have agreements, like "no flashes, Peewees, or nukes." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obtuse Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 This music is extremely epic. Take a look what else this composer has done ... Jeremy Soule to name a few ... Oblivion Morrowind Secret of Evermore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obtuse Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 The March Unto Death is incredible. It reminds a bit of Baroque but with an epic twist. I also really like Forest Green. There's no way to remix these orchestrally and do them justice. They're absolutely incredible on their own. Some type of electronic mix may work however. I'm going to add these 2 to the list.

Oblivion Morrowind Secret of Evermore I'm not surprised. He has KOTOR music as well. Klepaki and Uematsu come to mind as other epic game composers. He also submitted an FF remix here! http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01130/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obtuse Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 He also submitted an FF remix here! http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01130/ Oh man. Thanks for directing me to this gem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish you you luck in your endeavor! :salute: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrateResearchers Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 Oh man. Thanks for directing me to this gem. I found it while looking at the composer... saw FF6... Remixer: Jeremy Soule I listened, and downloaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obtuse Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I'm considering using a string quartet with a piano type format for the 2 tracks I mentioned. I can't stop listening to both of them. I'm not great at orchestration, but it doesn't hurt to try and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dafydd Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I've had a few attemps with forest green, but all of Soule's music is so complex that it's hard to change anything without making stuff sound terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dafydd Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Well, I still agree with you that it needs remixes. It's just hard, that's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrateResearchers Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 Well, I still agree with you that it needs remixes. It's just hard, that's all. Knowing that, that makes me want the remixes all the more. The result of the hard work for something such as this would probably be amazing to hear.

Skummel Maske Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I approve of this. This soundtrack deserves some remixer love, but it seems pretty hard to remix as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrateResearchers Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 Hard to remix, but I'd like to believe the end result would be well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
