Shonen Samurai Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Nothing more can be said about this mix besides "brilliant". Spanish: "Okay, it's MMXX Latino Radio, and here we are once again with Mustin's 'Proto Man Blues'. And just because I like it so much, let's hear another cut, a collaboration! The ears of nyKad, Dale North, Nate Cloud and Mustin speak--Needles!" I really don't get the last part, with "hablan las orejas". Is it a colloquialism? Not even my HS spanish teacher know what it meant, oither than "the ears of (person) speak." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberpsi88 Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 I'll probably never post again, but, since I'm bilingual, I'd like to translate what is said at the beginning of the track: "Okay! MMXX Latin Radio, and that was 'Proto Man Blues'. And now, just because I like it so much, let's hear another cut; a collaboration! Open your ears for nyKad, Dale North, Nate Cloud, and Mustin! Needles!" Just wanted to clear that up... P.S.- It says "abran las orejas." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Canabrava Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 It says "abran las orejas." Yeah... it's "abran las orejas". It's funny... I always liked the original, and this ReMix is a interesting view on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberiansam Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 This remix is so great that it leave me speechless! SOOO GREAT!!!!

Dr. Wily Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 Haha, that intro is great, funny stuff and more good old MM3 samples. Nice original take on the Needleman theme, very imaginative. It completely stays with the Spanish theme the whole way through, nice array of instruments included too, great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brim Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 This is the only mix of its kind, to take Mexican music and also have some conversing in the beginning (plus the reference to Music of My Groin). I enjoyed this mix because it is funny as well as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherman Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Perfectly done Latin feel, /beautiful/ solos, very amusing Music of My Groin reference. Live music is my favorite stuff on the site and you won me over with this one, gentlemen. Although no one could reasonably fault the playing or writing, I would have like to hear a little more robust sound on the secondary instruments, to match the vibrancy of the saxes. Other than that, fabulous work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoffrey Taucer Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Hace mucho tiempo que oye un remix tan bakan como eso. Eso es megasexy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talse Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 i really like the music! it's quite wonderful, all 3 odd minutes of it, but those first 40 some seconds, they're slightly annoying. anyway to get a version where it starts off with the spanish anouncer talking?

synthetic_realities Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Not too bad! It has a nice vibe to it, and a cool swing. It makes me feel like drinking tequila... I think the intro is cool the first couple of times. Afterwards, it gets a little annoying, and I found myself thinking "Enough with the appetizers, let's get to the meat!" Still, a good mix, and definately worth my time to listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meccaneer Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Yeah, man. This is awesome. The latin feel was well composed and well maintained. The 'music of my groin' reference is classic. And I dig the intro. It think remixes needn't be confined to just music, but also to place-setting. I'm very impressed by this piece. I would have added more crowd/partying noises throughout. That's about it. Why does MegaMan go so well with latin music? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bummer Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Listen to the Spanish station? That is so lame. ...until I heard this. As for many, I´m more of a music person so the conversation in the beginning is in my opinion kind of unnecessary. But it´s a little funny, specially the thing i quoted. And for the others, the remix starts for real ar 1:06, just so you know. I thought it was excellent. When all the voices has disappeared, all is left but a great saxophone with a full mexican band. Very nice indeed. I don´t know if they´re samples or if you guys played them yourself, but they sound so real! It has to be for real, or else give me the name of your samples. Except for the sax, there was an excellent piano that made its quick and passionate keyplay in the back. If this aint salsa, then nothing is. Maybe i should tune in Spanish radio more often. Gracias dudes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knotan Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 This remix is clearly one of the best songs there is. Really love the beginning of the track when they are checking all the radiostations. really really well done guys. 5/5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipp Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 The opening entertains me every time. And the OC references they make are very well done. I also like the pidgeon spanish, or at least that's what it sounds like. And then we hit the mix and I just can't stand it... ... naw, just kidding. The mix is great, with great flow, powerful sax, and good feel. An excellent mix, one of the OC classics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avaris Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 loved that intro and all the spanish references. This mix kicks serious ass 360 degrees all the way around. Can't say much more just listen to it and you'll be amazed. Oh yeah FYI bitchin live performances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KogeJoe Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 It was seriously an OK track. I thought the intro with the guys searching for a radio station was actually quite ANNOYING. It takes away from the piece. I thought it was actually quite innovative to use a different beat and give the melody to a sax. One thing I found kinda tacky was the stopping of the instruments during that middle bridge part. Like "who-ee! this is a wannabe latin track! ole!" Seriously kinda hammy. An alright track but honestly left much to be desired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubanubiel Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 the opening really reminds me of Queens of the Stone Age's album "Songs for the Deaf" especially how it switches to a Spanish station. This mix itself is pretty energetic and catchy but it's really the "Music of My Groin" reference that sold me. I burst at the seams with laughter from that unexpected reference.

ZealPath Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Well here's a classic I forgot to comment on. The intro is a really nice touch, and the continued latin theme throughout is just as good. I think the horns carry it well, with the piano making up the memorable background. Definitely one of my favorite Mega Man mixes, and there are a lot of those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 BAHAHA, oh wow. The intro is like a giant inside joke and is an inspiration of pure genius. It really situates this mix in an amazing context. I also like how the Latin flair is extended into the actual arrangement part too. Also the sax work here is amazing. This is so worth everyone's time and effort to download and listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Awesome intro - this is exceptionally classy. XD 1:49 is incredible, and easily the best hook of an already solid song. This whole track sounds like it was incredibly fun to make, and the enthusiasm is infectious. The sax solo afterwards was excellent, and really, high quality tracks with a lot of personality like this one is the kind of thing that made me think that it'd be fun to remix myself. Total classic. <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Doom Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) Holy crap, this is from 2001! This is superb take on the source. The sax is damn hot <3 Love the tango/spanish nature of it. The moment at 1:49 is indeed cool A true classic Edited March 9, 2015 by Black_Doom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
