OCR00841 - Contra "Bases Loaded"

[OceansAndrew]

Nice percussion, but definitely old and repetitive. That drum sound is great though.

Great for getting work done though, as you don't get distracted by the melody, you just get pumped by the drums.

Not the easiest source to remix as there isn't much to it. Arrangement-wise this would definitely be a good source to mix with something else. This mix, though, is a great update of the original. It would fit pretty darn well into the game. As a piece of music to enjoy by itself, it falls a little short. What I do like about it though is it provides and good healthy does of nostalgia.

One of the first remixes I listened to. Love the sound of this, though a bit conservative throughout the entire track. This piece really sounds like it could have been played in place of the source track; It seems to really fit that same feel. I think the heavy chiptune-ish synths help out with that a lot.

This one holds up surprisingly well! I'm not really familiar with source tune, but I would guess it's a pretty safe arrangement. The track certainly gets repetitive, but it's also quite short, so it's not a big issue after all. And yes, these drums are super sweet. Not mind-blowing overall, but worth a listen for sure.
