BrothaDom Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Hi everyone! So I want to see what kind of interest there might be in doing a ReMix album for the Advance Wars series, specifically Duel Strike for the Nintendo DS. The games have very interesting and diverse soundtracks in my opinion, and have a lot of room for remix possibilities. Additionally, I haven’t seen any remixes on the site (except for a coming track on the Badass Vol 3, I believe.) This would be a great chance to fix that for such an excellent source! I figure Advance Wars: Duel Strike is a smart choice for the series, as it incorporates all but one of the major themes from 1 and 2. However, this raises a huge concern: Including only the character themes, there is a whopping set of 28 tracks…plus some more “important” tracks that would be really great to include. As I said, this is only to see who’s interested, but here is a quick outline of how I see it possibly playing out: Each section would start with the respective nation’s theme, and then have a remix for each character. Rinse, repeat. This would be the format for all five groups, with the other relevant songs mixed in. Additionally, upon re-listening to the soundtrack, I noticed that each nation seems to have a musical theme…maybe we could match that? But that wouldn’t be a rigid constraint. Again, this is all based on interest. Here’s just the nation themes to get started and a link to the full list: Tracklist - http://www.advancewarsnet.com/?g=awds&m=aud Orange Star Theme – Blue Moon Theme – Yellow Comet Theme– https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnB30IPINTk Green Earth Theme – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4KMwOl_pFY Black Hole Theme – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuYEU1QdHmo So yeah, just wanting to gauge how people might feel!

MindWanderer Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I've only ever played the first game, but I fell in love with the soundtrack immediately. I ripped each of the character themes as soon as I had them unlocked and slapped them on my MP3 player. And the soundtrack is full of catchy melody hooks, it absolutely screams for remixes. I'm a noob yet, and I know I'd have to audition for a project, but I would absolutely be on board (with a preference for characters from the first game, of course).

Chernabogue Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I'd join an AW project if I hadn't so much work to do. AW's soundtrack is really awesome, and needs remixes (oh yes, I'm responsible for the Sturm remix on BA3 lol). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey no problem, just trying to see who'd be up for it! Also, most of the characters in Dual Strike are in the first one! I'd join an AW project if I hadn't so much work to do. AW's soundtrack is really awesome, and needs remixes (oh yes, I'm responsible for the Sturm remix on BA3 lol). I thought it was you...I hope that's going well and can't wait to hear it. Of course, this project would be a good bit away from now, so I'll make sure to keep you updated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Main Finger Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 All my current OCR albums are released now and I don't have any new ones lined up... yet! Also, I love Advance Wars so I'm interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orangedragan Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 You can list me as interested. I'm not an arranger, but a vocalist; Bari/Bass. I'd be glad to lend my voice to anyone who needs it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I love Advance Wars so I'm interested Excellent! If we can get enough interest, that would be great! But I think we do need a sizable team, a group willing to do many tracks. You can list me as interested. I'm not an arranger, but a vocalist; Bari/Bass. I'd be glad to lend my voice to anyone who needs it. Cool! If you've heard the soundtrack, it could definitely be complimented with vocals. Also, there's sometimes soundclips, so it would be great to have you on board.

Kanohi Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I might be interested in doing a track! Somebody requested some tunes from AW2 a while back, and I came up with this remix of Sturm's Theme. It's not finalized because I started working on some other stuff, but I might want to start a new mix for a different track in here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrothaDom Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 Pretty cool. Seems to be some interest so far, hopefully we can find some more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damashii!! Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I'm personally not an AW fan, but Dom you already know that you've got my sword (and my horns... and my AXE!) if needed. I'd join an AW project if I hadn't so much work to do. AW's soundtrack is really awesome, and needs remixes (oh yes, I'm responsible for the Sturm remix on BA3 lol). saw the thread title and you were quite instantly the first person I thought of.

Chernabogue Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 If you really feel like starting the project, I'd advise you to keep the tracklist quite short (around 15 tracks max) and to expand it if some people show interest. AW isn't the best known series in the workd (it's not FF lol), so be sure to keep your tracklist "reasonably" short. Something like CO's themes (+ 1-2 other themes, like the main theme) would be perfect in my opinion. Just focusing on AW 1&2 (the GBA games) would also be a good choice. And if you feel like directing the album, I can lend a hand as an assistant director/give feedback. I'm too busy to handle multiple projects at the time (already helping for the BA3 album), but I really want this to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrothaDom Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 That does make a lot of sense. I have no problem with a shorter list, to be honest. Because really, it would just be nice to have some music from the series in general. I wouldn't mind trying to direct the project...I still feel kind of noob-level, so any help would be greatly appreciated! I agree completely though, I really want to see this project go somewhere.

begoma Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 My band has disbanded and I'm pretty open right now, so count me in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katajun Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I'd like to try and help out some on this. Just jammed to Andy's theme for about 20 minutes while reminiscing about playing Black Hole Rising and Dual Strike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aw man, shame about the band...but let's hope you can do some awesome Advance Wars stuff! I'd like to try and help out some on this. Just jammed to Andy's theme for about 20 minutes while reminiscing about playing Black Hole Rising and Dual Strike. Any cool ideas with that?

Try to send PM's to artists you'd like to have on the project and when you have enough interested people, launch your project. You can also send PM's to people who said they were interested in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remixing isn't starting too soon, so we gotta find some more people to join in:sleepdepriv: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolaggro Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 A bit late to the game but I definitely would be interested in an Advance Wars album. Some great music and the fact that theirs no remixes on this website needs to be rectified! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
