RECKENEFIN

I just took a look at the OP . . . wow. I apologize about the oversized video links and outdated info. Housekeeping done, should be easier to find stuff, and actually, there are 7 tracks available! Have at it!

The thread title is accurate unfortunately. We are still looking to fill some slots. I believe the original post has an updated list of open tracks. If you're interested, shoot me a message!

AS HAVE I! Obviously. Apologies to everyone. It has been a busy last couple of months, and things have admittedly been slow for a while. But I'm back, and we'll be getting the ball rolling again soon.

New deadline! September 30th! 3 tracks still available! . . . Mainly the 3 tracks still available part. That is all.

Just wanted something noticeable. Probably overkill, but ya know.

Sooooo . . . ahem. I feel the need to remind everyone that: 1. I will make official project posts. 2. If I need to communicate with project members about an issue, I will do it through email or PM. This thread is not the place for that. 3. If project members want to discuss tracks, WIPs, or project issues, they can PM/email me, PM each other, or post it in the project forum. Which has been publicized in giant bold print in the post above. Completely unsolicited by the way. 4. This thread is not for running the project, talking about issues, or venting. (*coughpreviouspostcough*) 5. This thread is for recruitment announcements, liiiike. . . 2 TRACKS AVAILABLE!!! Phew. Glad I got that out of my system. Carry on.

Haven't made a post here in a while, but since I'm not supposed to run the project here, that's okay. Just updating this to let everybody know that 2 tracks have reopened! "King of the Koopas," the final battle music is now available, as well as Chapter 4: Shy Guy's Toybox. I have the boss music from that chapter posted, but any music from that chapter is perfectly acceptable. If you have any interest in either of these tracks, shoot me a PM with some reference work, and we'll get the audition process rolling!

Yeah, I don't know about the title either. Best I could think of. Anyway, I had the news playing in the background today, and they were talking about a North Korean propaganda video. They played a clip, and I was like "Hey, wait! I know that tune!" You know you've composed something pretty memorable when a national government uses it for their propaganda.

And just like that, all of the main slots are filled again. Thank you to jnWake for picking up another track, as well as majorjazzman for taking on a track. As with the last time the roster was full, we're focusing on bonus track volunteers. And as previously mentioned, I mean bonus tracks as in not part of the main story section of the album. All other album requirements still apply to these tracks. Let's keep it moving along! The more the merrier!

It's been a while since I posted an update. So, without further delay, I'll let you all know that we have 2 tracks that have reopened in total. The first one is "The Story of the Stolen Star Spirits," while the second one can technically be anything from Chapter 1 (the Koopa chapter) of the game. I just left the Koopa Bros. track on as default because it seems to be the most well known of the Chapter 1-specific source tunes. Anyone up for a track? I've got two options ripe for the taking. And don't forget about the bonus section. Got a source that doesn't neatly fit in the Chapter divisions? Let me know and we'll see what we can do about it.

"Thomas Was Alone" has a pretty good soundtrack in my opinion. It's short and pretty minimal, but the mix of sounds emotion make it an enjoyable listen. (The game is pretty solid too but that's another topic entirely). More mainstream, you've got the orchestral stylings of either Super Mario Galaxy, the ethnic blend of Sonic Unleashed, and the nostalgia factor of Sonic Generations. Portal 2 wasn't bad either. A bit on the heavy side, and there's a lot of it, but I thought it was good too. Mixed feelings about the whole soundtrack, but any version of "Nate's Theme" from Uncharted also has my vote. Skylanders is also pretty well put together. A bit on the youthful, fun side, but still well put together. And nobody has put in a plug for Metal Gear Solid yet? Also . . . Can't really argue with that.

Bit of an update. Pl511 has expressed that he needs to withdraw from the project. After some talks, that was his final decision. However, he is still offering his piano skills to anyone that would need them for their track. This does mean that "The Story of the Stolen Star Spirits" is available for the taking once more. Let's not keep it open for very long. Any takers for this track?
