Siamey Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 Out of Control very clean and crisp in every way, love that build that you have after palying the country names and the F F F Fight! i wouldnt think the melody would work good as a dance song but it does! omfg its awesome Quote
Dhsu Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 Hahaha...brings back fond memories of the Vega vs. Chun Li fight. Thank you, SF Anniversary Collection. Although, it also brings back the unspeakable terror, dread, and utter helplessness I felt as a child whenever Vega would jump onto the wall, knowing full well that the cheap little punk would inevitably jump off and claw me and that there was not a thing I could do about it. And then he'd retreat and do it all over again. Curse you, first-grade reflexes. Ahem... Errr, right...about the mix then. Anyway, yeah...for some reason, when it started, I couldn't help feeling it sounded slightly n00bish (mostly because of the familiar-sounding synth/sample and because omitting the original bassline notes there creates odd harmonies). I quickly got used to it though, so I don't have too much of an issue with that. Effects and percussion are used intelligently and effectively throughout. I think my favorite part was also the country names/"f-f-f-fight" thing. Very nice touch...Rayza always seems to know how to use sound clips/game samples in a discreet and generally non-annoying manner, unlike many other electronica remixers. I also like the break/transition/whatever-you-techno-people-call-it at 3:15. Overall, very competent and well-executed remixing work. Recommended to any fan of Vega (and/or Chun Li's panties ). Good stuff from Rayza as usual. (P.S. R.I.P., Chris and Charles...) Quote
DJ Riott Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 Hey, cool song here. Love the theme! I like the 8-bit noises in the first thirty seconds. The chopping and panning are very creative and I like them! :59, I like that synth off the bat. But.. I got sick of it FAST. eeh. But the more listens to this song, you do get used to it I suppose.. -- 1:21-23 that note in there fades out too fast.. The layout and arrangement of this song is amazing, yet that lead synth just ruined it for me.. sorry. Good use of Vocal Samples. The F F F Fight started sounding a little bit like 'Heil' after a while.. (This isn't a wolfenstein remix.. haha) But that's just me messin around. Good pumped up techno all the way through. I'll check back this review thread later to see if anyone agreed with me... 8/10 Quote
Vortex RuneCutter Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 Always been a big fan of Rayza's way of remixing. Love the beats. Nice job! Quote
lazygecko Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 Overall a pretty good and very solid mix from Mr. Rayza. Great work on the lead as expected from a Rayza mix. My only problem with it is that the bass and kick aren't LOUD enough, as they should be in this type of music. Quote
Julio Jose Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 ur bass synth and beat go so well together. i will say it again though, i dont like the wavy lead synth to much, but it isnt that bad. Im an ultra fan of vegas stage music, this gets EASILY a 9/10 Quote
Julio Jose Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 Curse you, first-grade reflexes. hahahaha gotta love that. And then you think about those days, and wounder why u sucked so bad. good times good times. Quote
RimFrost the Tourianist Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 Great melody and beat , but as Gecko said it should have been more powerful ! Anyway good job Rayza Quote
versus Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 A street fighter remix and of one of my fav characters. 3 thumbs up! Quote
mrjag Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 Creative use of original vocal samples. This is something I ask before, but often we see here. Gives a nice touch to the track. The tribute of first country is something that I really enjoy, thanks. Blanka would be proud too. Rhythm is our name. OMG, the bass is something that really works here. It can't be improved in any aspect, anything beyond this point is personal taste. This guy has a style, classic outro. Turn the lights out and let the music flow. F-f-f-fight. 11/10 Quote
Luis Posted October 16, 2004 Posted October 16, 2004 I don't like it. I mean... It's Street Fighter, right? Quote
grayfox9996 Posted October 16, 2004 Posted October 16, 2004 I listened to this back when it was a WIP...I loved it then, and love it now. Gotta love the way Rayza can work those beats. By the way, the country name samples were a very nice touch - something I wouldn't have thought of, that's for sure. Keep up the good work! Maybe some more Streets of Rage next time. Quote
Epic1044 Posted October 17, 2004 Posted October 17, 2004 The styling of this one is impeccable. Very clubbish. I appreciate that the melody wasn't watered down from the original. This is a remix chiefly because the background chords were stripped of their latin flavor and given a convincing nightculb feel. The tempo has been slowed down just a little to bring it into the "danceable" 120bpm range. The lead instrument is a loud synth. This might have been a grating choice, but good use is made of effects and slides to make the synth sing. My favorite part of the entire piece is the extended wrapup, with "hit" samples woven into a typical snare-fill club pattern. Quote
Oruroku Posted October 17, 2004 Posted October 17, 2004 Whee. It's great when the new layer comes on about 36 seconds in. I kind of wished there was a bit more variety in the sounds here, but it's still well done. Quote
isoo Posted October 17, 2004 Posted October 17, 2004 with such a great and upbeat remix, I'm wondering myself why Rayza hasn't done more Streets of Rage remixes. Perhaps a tribute to Avien's Slow Moon Groove - still one of my favorite remixes ever. Quote
Strife. Posted October 17, 2004 Posted October 17, 2004 Amazing club like mix. I really wanted some neon lights to drop down from my ceiling so I could dance to this mix. The beat was kept fresh and constant. Great job. Quote
kablammyman Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 it was cool mix and a somewhat original idea. I am not a fan of this type of music, but it had a good melody but, Vega's theme seem to work with this type of music and it was well done. Quote
Carboman Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 the sound of it was very flat, no real styling of base- kept as steady as if it were a march. High quality, sound samples are GREAT work. although good trance music, its flatness makes it hard to get into unless you're doing circut kick boxing. 8/10. Quote
Red Shadow Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 i still cant make out what the very first country he mentions is. he loses a sliver of a point for that. otherwise, its good enough for me to hum while listening to it on my mp3 player, effectively disturbing everyone around me cause my voice sucks. Great track. 9.9/10 Quote
Julio Jose Posted October 31, 2004 Posted October 31, 2004 god dammit, thanks for encouraging me to waste half of a day playing street fighter 2. jackass... good song. Quote
mirrorsheild Posted November 11, 2004 Posted November 11, 2004 i never realy played streetfighters and don't realy remember any of the music from it but still loved this song. It's probobaly one of the greatest ocremixes Quote
mirrorsheild Posted November 11, 2004 Posted November 11, 2004 i never realy played streetfighters and barley remember any of the music but sitll loved this song. it's awsome, probably the best ocremix so far i give a ten out of ten Quote
