Monobrow Posted September 11, 2005 Posted September 11, 2005 hehehhe I listened to this tonight for the first time in a long while and I just want to say that I still enjoy it as much as I did when it first came out. Yup. Quote
The Final Minuet Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 Something doesn't seem right. I was on http://smproject.ocremix.org/ looking for the album, and I downloaded it. However, while I was converting the album to .mp3 for my own purposes, I found an error with track 7, Unsettling Nature (Miniboss theme). Maybe the file got corrupted somehow, I'm not completely sure. Just wanted to bring it to your attention. By the way, great job on the album! Quote
KingTiger Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 I'm posting for Ari - grab the full cover package including jpegs here: http://supertux.com/~aasulin/ROTC_Covers.rar The final covers that weren't released are also included; direct links to them are: http://supertux.com/~aasulin/rotc_front_final.jpg http://supertux.com/~aasulin/rotc_back_final.jpg Does anyone know why these covers weren't officially released? They are very good. 2 covers wouldn't have hurt anything, that's what the Hedgehog Heaven folks did. Quote
Lourde Incarnadine Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 I've never been an especial music buff before, but this project blew me aurally. Super Metroid had some great music to begin with, but after people like Protricity and Prophecy get ahold of it... This project is just so mesmerizing, so entrancing, that there's hardly anything I can say that would do it justice... And the album cover artwork (was that done by Rob Saunders too?) was as sweet as the music itself. Everyone who worked on this did an excellent job; my condolences for the loss of Avien. ::bows head solemnly:: Quote
KingTiger Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 you know, if protricity is reading this, i have a question for you...what crazy time signature is your "escaping retribution" in?! I can't figure it out for the life of me. and BTW, I agree, this project rawks. EDIT: I figured out what it is...it's 5/8 for most of the song, but it switches for 6/8 for part of it and 7/8 for other parts. Very nice job, Protricity! Quote
The Mutericator Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 If someone seeds this for me, I will be willing to seed it for anyone who requests it from me from here on out. But I can't bear the 2kbps download rate, and I'd really like to hear this without wasting bandwith (and getting my .wav goodness). Quote
kidThunder Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 meh...I say that Super Metroid was when the series started getting better!! The original was OK, though!! Quote
watkinzez Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 So.. now that Prot left ASU and has no more web space/deleted the site by accident/deleted the site because of his relationship with OCR, is anyone picking up something to fill in the gap? You could easily say that the torrent is an alternative method for new users to grab the project, but having a dead homepage is a bit unprofessional towards OCR.. Quote

The Mutericator Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 Does anyone want to set up a torrent for .mp3 quality instead of just .wav and .ogg? I found it really inconvenient to have to download the huge .wav version and then use Winamp to turn them all into .mp3's so that I could keep them easily... I'll seed if someone sets up the torrent for me (I don't know how, unfortunately). Quote
Demonicmaster Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 I have to say I grabbed this way back when it first popped out and loved it ever since, but because of a freak computer accident(small children and the 'Delete' button) I no longer have it and I am grabbing it again. I would also like to point out that friends of mine who didn't know it was music originally from a video game loved the collection. I can't praise this enough. I am of the nintendo generation and Metroid and LoZ have been my favorite games since I first bought my nintendo. All I need now is a LoZ project which if I remember in one of the forums it is already underway I can die a happy man. Quote
r-tiztik Posted May 22, 2006 Posted May 22, 2006 K this is a kinda random question, but I'm curious. Does anyone, hopefully Protricity, know the actual release date of Relics Of The Chozo? Thx Quote
OverCoat Posted May 22, 2006 Posted May 22, 2006 9/12/03 - Relics of the Chozo is officially out. Thanks to dave for the awesome spotlight! Thanks to everyone involved who made it possible. Thanks to SuperMetroid for being so frigin kick ass. Enjoy. http://smproject.ocremix.org/ Quote
The Mutericator Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 Okay, time for some critique: Pros: - Track blending makes it very, very nice. I always try to blend my own CD's. - Kickass tracks like Full of Life, Vast Inner Depths of Brinstar, Ebb Tide Manifest, Percieved by Cold Intelligence, and Escaping Retribution kick ass (yes, I said it twice, they're that good). Cons: - Tracks like Putting Down on Zebes (admittantly, not much source material to work with), A Change and a Passing, Metal Fatique, and Pyroclastica. Seriously, WTF? I've yet to see any music in any of Children of the Monkey Machine's works, try though I might to actually like them. It's like noise, made even worse by the fact that Protricity felt the need to imitate CotMM's style. These tracks, I think, really killed the project for me, to the point where I only listen to the last three tracks and various ones in between these listed; I can't stand listening to the half-noise tracks. So, yeah. This project could have been so much better, but at this point I'm considering just replacing said tracks with virt's Crystal Flash and making an awesome Super Metroid CD. Quote
Black Mage Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 Y'know, of all the remix projects to have graced OCR (most of which were great, love KiC) I think that RotC still rocks them all! Quote
Patrick Burns Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 Can anyone suggest a course of action for obtaining the wav .rar? edit: wow, somebody could have told me it was on the tracker. you can lead a horse to water, i guess Quote
mEtaLoRgY Posted August 13, 2006 Posted August 13, 2006 Just sign up a few moments ago just to say. I loved this album, it brings back great memories of my personally favorite game. Great job and im looking forward for your guys next project! EDIT: Just to let you know, I played super metroid again while listening to music. It brings a completely new theme to the whole game. It accually goes quite well. Just wished my cd drive would work so i could burn this cd . Quote
ShadowLord Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 I recently downloaded the project (in ogg format) and I've heard quite a few annoying clicks and pops so far. Mainly at the start of track #7 (Unsettling Nature). Is this intentional or not? Also then there's track #8 that crackles alot when the bass reaches loud notes. Am I the only one getting this? Quote

I should've taken actual time to look around the site. Thanks alot! Edit: Except it doesn't work completely. The crackling in track 8 is fixed, but I'm still getting annoying clicks at the start of track 7. Quote
jebushatesu Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 it's hard to believe how good this album is. I stumbled across it about a half year ago, and there is never a bad time to listen to it. Escaping Retribution is truly incredible. Is there a way to get Protricity condensed into liquid form and injected intraveinously? Quote
PassivePretentiousness Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 I never got a chance to listen to these as much as I wanted and probably never will because apparently itunes is never going to accept .ogg format. Would anyone be willing to re-render it as an mp3? Yeah, I know the sound quality would be ghey due to artifacting or whatever, but I'm more than happy to pay that price not to have to listen to it in winamp. also apparently the project thread has been pruned unless I'm blind.

The Unsung Plumber Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 First, http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=1972 Second, what I did was use the torrent in the first post of the thread. They are high quality WAV files, and those play in iTunes. And the torrent is really healthy, and I'll start seeding for it again. Quote
Jaybell Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 The torrent is not working for me I'm using Azureus. The Tracker status says "OK (:dht)", but it stays on the red face. I know almost nothing about torrents, so what does that meaaan? Quote
