OCR00729 - Streets of Rage "Going Up"

[Disco Dan]

Yeah... it uh... it just keeps on moving... look at that. Anyway, this is just a placeholder so other people can review it, but the mix ain't bad anyway. I do kind of like the beat, despite the droning hi hat, because it reminds me of a sort of 80's sound... yeah I'm running out of things to say. This mix was fine. The end. Everybody review it.

Nice sound effects, they add ambience to the track. This guy knows how to keep the track moving and grooving. I like the strings, I can't put my finger on what have been done to them exactly.

U gotta love that kick. Boom. This had been mixed quite well, as that kick does take up quite a bit of headroom at times. What else can I say? Cool.

[Streets of Rage bum]

hmm, not bad, it is quite jumpy beat, even though it's just a big loop, it doesnt' sound that repetitive cause of all these changes it goes through.

for a 1st submission, not bad at all.

Was this tune from the final stage elevator to Mr.X? i hear lots of elevator sounds in BG but not sure if it was just thrown in......

[Ryu7x]

Im glad you guys enjoyed it.

This was not my first submission, my first submission was Guardian Legend - Liquid Corridor, and then Street Fighter EX - Pullum Summer Trance Mix 2002 whitch was actualy my latest remix, this remix was made after Liquid Corridor so it is a little less exiting compared to Pullum Summer Trance Mix 2002.

And yes, the track that I remixed was Round 7, the elevator stage before the final stage from Streets of Rage, I tried to give the listener a fell of moving up in that elevator.

[Beatdrop]

Well...

The drums don't do anything. They just kind of sit there playing the same pattern over and over again.

I like the strings though! Very nicely pulled off. The entire remix sort of reminds me of something from, say, Armored Core...

[Tex]

I liked the idea to add the original sounds from game: elevator, etc. This work is very enjoyable. But I think that some times, could have more beats. Beats with more power.

[OceansAndrew]

THough the beat simply goes on and on, there is a good deal of inspired work here, from intertwining synth riffs to a shimmering, flickering, bell part.

It sounds like the source was pretty short to begin with, but there is a decent amount of arrangement. It really doesn't stand up to repeated listens though, there needs to be a change in the drum patterns.

Christmas special review time:

it's an old mix but a good one to discover ryu7x.

ryu was able to keep the old electronica feeling we all feel when re playing street of rage all over again, with addition of those fun "city" noises.

[MechaFone]

While I prefer the source material, I've always had a soft spot for this remix. It covers my fave song from the SOR1 soundtrack, and the electro sounds make this a remix worth listening to.

[Captain Skyhawk]

This is the best remix I've heard so far from overclocked. It stays true to the original song from one of my favorite levels in streets of rage level 7 on the elevator. I'm using this now at parties when I play music.

[justinj212]

love the synths, the bass, the drums all sound great. the sound effects give it that extra sense of immersion, as do the elevator noises. really high production values on this one, enjoyed it a lot and will be coming back to it!

[DragonAvenger]

It's interesting to hear this track in a different light. I'm definately aware of how short the source is, so hearing how people can spread it out differently is a neat concept. ryu7x really takes what he can from this.

The song gets repetative for my tastes, and while DJP says in the write-up that he might overuse the 'new section added in' theory to mixing a song, I feel that it would have been welcome here. Something to break up the action could have really refreshed the concept and made further variations later on be more welcome. Overall, the song is decent, but it doesn't catch my ear.

Hahaha! Yeah, that was the first thing I noticed. Fun FruityLoops-style stuffs though for back in the day, and a great source tune!
