Ginnsu Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Command & Conquer 'On the Prowl Redux' YES! I love Command & Conquer (the Red Alert series may have been better, but still) and I love Scott Peeples. Why don’t we mash the two together and see what happens. Massive action flick style cool song madness! My only suggestion would be to give this one a tad more power, because it sounds a tad soft for Command & Conquer. Besides that, I can only say that this is one that you shouldn't miss. Peeples always sets us up with awesome tunes, never fails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mDuo13 Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 This one starts out a bit soft, but you can already tell that it has the Peeples seal of quality. The melody is laid back and jazzy, but with a bit of rockin' to it. Peeples doesn't let us down on this one. Not his best though; it could have used a little more of a strong point.

Nobbynob Littlun Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 As has been mentioned, there is no actual climax within this song. However it does brings to mind images of commandos slipping into an enemy base at night; movie stuff with a sophisticated set designer and a director who gives the 1-up to typical Hollywood exaggerations and giant explosions. These hollywood commandoes don't make a fuss, they don't make empty threats, they slip in do their job (cleanly and professionally) and try to get out alive again. An interesting way to give a recommendation for this song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beatdrop Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 I dunno what the hell you guys are talking about; I loved it. This is the song that really made Peeples become my favorite recurring OCReMixer (and I say recurring because if mutagene would post more often, he'd be my favorite). I've long considered Frank Klepacki's work to be really damn cool, and hearing remixes of it was just So anyway, I love the little verbed-out bell sound. It helps retain a lot of the whole sneaking-around vibe that the original had. The drums are pretty groovy, as has been already mentioned. The bass should be made note of because while it has a certain dominant presence, it doesn't overpower everything else, and that's definitely a good thing. Anyway, this remix rocks. Download it. Now.

01seven Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 great stuff. Even if I wasnt a C&C fan I would have liked it just for the music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreedomForTheMasses Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 This is a pretty good mix, but kinda repettitive(oops) cool in its own right, and also a question: where the hell are all the RA:2 mixes? i wanna hear some of those m'kay?

OceansAndrew Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Groove-heavy and funky, if this song won't make you do the DJP, nothing will. There is a good amount of variation, and the scratching break is fantastic. The source tune itself has a ambient-style melody, and Scott's treatment of it is spot-on. I especially like the way the bass gets mixed up early and often. It plays several varations of the original groove, and keeps things fresh. I guess i've described the song as both funky and fresh now, so my work here is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkofevil Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 You gotta love Klepacki for his source. But I find that this song is actually more suited to command and conquer (TS) than the original soundtrack.Great job peeples! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Wow, I never commented on this? Shit, I really thought I did. This was such a big favorite of mine in my olden days in '02. monkofevil's comment that this arrangement actually works better in a C&C environment than the original was something I realized as soon as I first listened to it. Really solid, chill material from Scott, it's a classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonAvenger Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Very chill in it's own right. The bass is what really brings this together. I also want to give props for the background synth that works pretty nicely. Someone mentioned that this doesn't really have a climax, which lends itself to sneaking around and subtly kicking ass. Nice work, though it works as a background track more than anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutritious Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Soundscape is the name of the game here and I think Scott does a good job establishing that. The individual samples might not stand out a whole lot taken individually, but as a whole, this track feels like it would be at home within the C&C soundtrack. I'd say samples and some production issues are the main thing holding this back from being a breakout, but it's definitely listenable in its own right.

Magellanic Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Woo, Command and Conquer has had some OCR love. A very chilled and ambient mix. The soundscape is really eerie and mysterious. The beat and other choices of synth give this a kind of James Bond/special agent feel. I can certainly see what DJP said about it being a on auto-pilot in some parts. Depsite it being a chilled and steady mix, there could still be a little more life injected in to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc0il Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Great remix, very smooth! Love the fact this track is included in the C&C Renegade X game's jukebox! If you haven't heard yet, C&C Renegade X is a free game made on the Unreal Tournament 3 engine. Plays like the original with a few improvements, but most importantly, beautiful graphics!
