Brandon Strader Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Welcome to the Album Thread for Final Fantasy VIII: Collision Course. The concept for this album stretches back to 2010 where a tracklisting and title were chosen for what one would have dreamed would be a great Final Fantasy VIII album. With your help, I'm hoping to make that a reality. Right now is the recruitment phase, so if you are a posted ReMixer, feel free to make a claim -- first come, first served on any source. If you are not a posted ReMixer, you are still welcome to join the album roster if you can produce high quality mixes, or are capable of producing a high quality arrangement and structure, then delivering your stems for mixing/mastering. Please submit an audition. Mixing/Mastering would be handled by me for anyone who requests it. There is no genre restriction, however please give much consideration to preserving the spirit of the source. tldr: first come, first served for posted remixers other artists, please submit an audition! mixing/mastering available on request if it's an emotional piano source, I reserve the right to bounce back your gangsta dubstep screamo mix Also if you're going to claim something like The Extreme, keep in mind it's gotta be excelsior TRACKLIST ReMixer Works in Progress posted here First Half Liberi Fatali (claimed by HeavenWraith)Balamb Garden (claimed by Chernabogue, Tuberz McGee, Furilas)Blue Fields (claimed by Chris Porter)Don't Be Afraid (claimed by Tuberz McGee)Find Your Way (claimed by Wiesty)The Landing (claimed by Sagnewshreds)SeeD (claimed by Manji)Breezy (claimed by RiverSound)Force Your Way (claimed by Ivan Hakštok)Waltz For The Moon (claimed by XPRTNovice)The Man with the Machine Gun (claimed by Gario)Julia (claimed by Geoffrey Taucer)Roses and Wine (claimed by Brandon Strader)Junction (claimed by DjjD)The Mission (claimed by jnWake)Only A Plank Between One and Perdition (claimed by shadowpsyc)Slide Show Pt. 2 (claimed by bluelighter)The Stage is Set (claimed by Larsec)Movin' (claimed by fxsnowy)Martial Law (claimed by JJT)Succession of Witches (claimed by Vled Tapas ft.

jnWake Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Awesome! I'm not sure if I want to claim anything yet but I wish you luck with this. VIII has some damn good songs. EDIT: Rexy should claim Find Your Way and write an awesome piano piece for that . Brandon Strader 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gario Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I'm making a claim for Man with the Machine Gun. FFVIII arguably has the best soundtrack in the series, so if I finish this one in a timely manner I may do more. Let's do this.

jnWake Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Actually, if it interests you, I could claim the track The Mission, which isn't on the list. It's quite cool Also, someone (Jordanius *cough*) should do The Winner. Brandon Strader 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordanius already did The Winner, but he did it for the FF2 album. I kept asking him to do Victory but mashed up with a different theme from the series, I guess I messed everything up though. I mean I'd love to have him on this album for sure if he stops hiding and comes back.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnWake Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I could pick up some guitar players (probably Brostok haha) if I write something with guitars, but I'll see what I come up with first Brandon Strader 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Hakštok Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Force Your Way is mine. I actually had a WIP for it since I started working on it ages ago, but it's not up to my current standards so I'll be doing it from scratch.

It'd be hard to find a guitarist who could cleanly play those lines anyway, so it'll be interesting to see how you tackle them 9 minutes ago, Ivan Hakštok said: Force Your Way is mine.

Chernabogue Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I need to listen to those tracks before choosing. I'm not familiar with FFVIII but I'm sure there's some cool music to be remixed! Brandon Strader 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djpretzel Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Just chiming in to say I've got full faith in @Brandon Strader to bring this one home & do it right... very psyched to see some great names already popping up!
