ReMix:Marathon "Neo-Pacificist" 3:24

This is definitely a sweet little chill-out track. The delayed electric piano sounds good, and there's a lot of neat percussion padding other atmospheric sounds and effects going on. Well built, inspiring and enjoyable!

Nice. I love it when a mix makes absolute perfect sense to me. There is nothing overly complex to listening to this, despite the music actually being deceptively dense.

Funnily enough, this reminds me of the sounds of a flowing river (not a space station crawling with enemies) in that 10 seconds is all you really need to "get" where the sound is coming from, where it is heading and whether you like it, but you could listen to it for hours.

I also think this channels some of the early djpretzel tracks, as well as some of McVaffe's stuff. And I think we all know there is no better company to be compared to.

Fantastic, understated and ultra-cool electro-ambience. I like.

Ultra laid back and groovin, there are some nice textures filling this out and a solid chord structure with bass and pads. Great electronic sounding percussive textures. This is perfect for looping, which is exactly what i've done for the past hour. Really nice stuff.

Smooth, Jazzy, Dark, Atmospheric yet light-hearted-ish.

It is noticeably repetitive, but to me this seems like it'd be the background music for a cave level, so it can be forgiven.

This is music worth downloading and studying by.

yeah i'm feelin this

Yes, smooth and smarmy it is. However, it is also rather boring and not great for anything besides ambiance. There's no "voice" so to speak. Not actual singing, that's not what I mean. I just mean there's nothing that really happens, no instrument to speak to you and tell you something, a story, as so many of the remixes here do.

This is smooth. I like it a lot

Thanks.

Nope.

Okay, here's an on-topic thing:

Once again, in the judges panel commentary and so forth in the editorial/introduction, I'm struck by the disconnect between what this site purports to be about - "remixes" - and what it actually is. What we have here is the literal definition of a remix... and yet it was accepted only grudgingly, because OC "Remix" is more and more about creating new works that only sample or are inspired by the existing music.

That's great if you're an artist, I suppose - it gives you lots more room for personal creativity - but (and this will probably make me unpopular) I'm strictly a consumer and a fan of game music. I come here to find interpretations of music I already like. If a song is completely transformed, I have to wonder what's the point of connecting the new work with the original, except to note inspiration?

Perhaps a rename of the site is in order, to better reflect its actual content.

EDIT: I'm not saying people should stop making new stuff. I'd just like there to be a bit more acceptance of songs that "merely" rearrange what's already there in fun and interesting ways.

Plain covers/remixes are a dime a dozen. Read the FAQ. Read the submission standards. THAT's what the site is about.

Flame wars aside...

I liked it (The song).

Very smooth.

i hated marathon. i don't know, something about it just pissed me off.

i disagree with you guys who say it's better than doom. have you seen what they're doing with doom lately?

i'm sorry, but marathon tries to be like system shock and fails miserably.

that said, the mix is nice.

Finally, a Marathon remix at OCRemix. 3

Very chilled. Very peaceful. Very lazing-around-on-a-space-station music.

Kinda reminds me of the Acme Station level from Marathon Infinity.

Well, except for the life-sucking lack of oxygen and the hostile alien troops on board.

Marathon Trilogy for life. Best shooters evar, IMHO.

PEACE OUT!

Nice Chill mix with lots of ambience. Good for when you're surfing the net or whatnot.
