Benjamin Briggs Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 I'm chthonic, for those of you who don't know. So basically I'm working on an album. It's going to be neato. The concept is this: Think of the word "Remix". Now think of what it meant before we drenched it in things like "arrangement" and "deviance from the original". Yeah, I'm talking oldschool game remixes. 90s shit. To give you a better feel for the genre, I've made a preview thing that spotlights three of the tracks on the album... get it here. The reason I am posting this here is to give you all a heads up and ask you to start spreading the word or whatever, but also to see if any of you have ideas about which tracks I should do. I'm looking for C64, NES, and Game Boy stuff to work with, although I might consider SNES and Genesis and even later stuff. Basically, if you have a theme you want to hear actually REMIXED, as apposed to arranged/remade, tell me here. I won't tell you which ones I choose right away, but I might let you know. Thanks in advance, guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickenwarlord Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 You want old Gameboy stuff to remix? I'd pay good money (15$) for a cd that included a 'We're Back' remix/rearrangement or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.M.P. Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I would kill for a remix of Lode Runner PC music.I can get you clips at a later date. Oh hell yeah. I always loved the jungle theme music!! I always end up playing that short melody snippet when practicing or goofing around on piano/keyboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neminem Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Dang, way to make me think you'd put new material up, that I hadn't already heard before. Ah! Alright, you put in a few more seconds on Bag It! than I'd heard previously, so I'm happy. I suppose I'd pay a few bucks for a net release, or possibly up to 10 for a real, pressed cd with good art and everything, if there were enough good mixes on it to justify buying. So yeah. I already knew about this (and have told you that it's an awesome idea several times). It's an awesome idea. Even if I hang out on GYBO a lot too, so when I think of the word "remix", I do still think, "tracks that sample the original but use primarily original samples". Remix in this case being opposed to mashups, which are tracks that sample original songs and use only at most a small quantity of samples that were made by the song creator. Anyway, I might get back to you on songs later, knowing now that you want them. By later, I mean "next time I feel like listening to OSTs".

watkinzez Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Great idea, Bin Breggs. Of the few true remixes you find around, most tend to be rather lacking. The only suggestion I have is more Game Boy mixes- lots of good stuff there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Briggs Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 Your search - you are not john stamos nes chiptune - did not match any documents.

Red Shadow Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 If we can still suggestimate, do you remember that "Knuckles Chaotix - Tachy Touch" track I bugged you about a while back? That's what I'm suggesting if you didn't infer it. Also I'd paypal you some monies for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILLiterate Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 LOL I remember you sent me a folder with some MP3s of this SUCH A LONG TIME AGO Yea it's awesome For an NES track you have to remix a track from Journey To Silius and if you do it good, I promise to pay for this album, even if it is $238472938472983747897249 and I explode from bankrupness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antipode Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 First of all - I LOVE the concept for this album. This stuff would be great. I would almost definitely buy this album. I love what I hear in the preview. My suggestions for others - - The train ride theme from the first Wario Land for Gameboy. (Emphasis on this one) - Maybe the main overworld theme from Metroid 2. - You might be able to do some cool stuff with the main overworld theme from Super Mario Bros 2. - Perhaps one of the main themes from Kirby's Dreamland would work. Get lots of good and unexpected Gameboy tunes and I'll be happy as a clam. If I come up with any other suggestions, I'll be back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
