What do you guys think about Ocremix?
I looked for a topic of this, but there was none to be found on here. Now I can assume that some of you are familiar with Ocremix if your not. Your going to have to look it up. I enjoy some of the songs that they released. In fact they even made a couple of remixes of the Monkey Island series.
Favorite songs from these guys anyone? I'll post mine after I do some thinking.

Oh yeah, I've been following it for years!!
I personally loved the Sonic and Knuckles album. I used to listen to that all the time. Some of the best remixes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpO50LDGfR4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gWbI0WxaHU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4vAL47g26o Albums tend to be the best stuff.

I think it is a website where people upload remixes of game soundtracks and music.

Incredibly critical and biased judging system. They seem to only accept a certain kind of remix there. I preferred VGMix when it was alive. Looks like it'll never see the light of day again anymore, however. And you're right, the albums are the best stuff there.
Now, Dwelling of Duels. There's a fun place.

By the way I can't possibly be the only person tired of Final Fantasy remixes am I? I mean, I own just about every FF album ever put out, so I hear enough variations of these songs as it is (or have at some time in the past). Just not interested in another Departing Midgard theme.

I love a lot of that stuff. That site has been amazing for years. I remember visiting it rather often once I had a computer that could handle mp3s smoothly.

It should be noted that Capcom's remake of Street Fighter II made a deal with OCR to include remixes from the OCR remixers as the game's soundtrack. The album is released on OCR as Blood on the Asphalt.

There are some serious streaks of gold on the OCR site, but you also have to dig laboriously and wade through a lot of dirt, I'm sad to say. There are entire albums which ruin one after another of your favorite songs from games, and that makes it hard for me to keep digging. Mostly, it's a matter of decidedly not searching for individual games, but separating the good from the bad arrangers/composers and stick with the good work.

Some tracks turn out to be very good. Other times they just make Zelda techno-rave remix bullshit.
My personal faves are Sonic 3 & Knuckles album and the two Monkey Island remixes they made. |

It's a big ol' mixed bag of crap and awesomeness, both nearly equal in amounts.

I've been downloadng mp3s from OCRemix for oh, a decade now I guess? It's definitely hit or miss, but I tend to only download songs from video games I've played so I'm missing a large portion of stuff

The only thing I was extremely disappointed about with Project Chaos was the Ice Cap remix which was just classical piano. Totally was wanting something epic out of that. I guess because everyone and their dog remixes Ice Cap that they thought going a different route would be the best idea. Well screw that! I don't care how well it was played! It was boring! And nothing on the Project Chaos album should have been boring!

Yup but as a whole I thought that album was one of the best.
the FFIV one can burn in hell as far as I'm concerned though.

Heh. I was asked if I wanted to do a remix on the FF4 album but I declined because I don't know the games that well. Thought it would be safer in more knowledgeable hands...guess not.
Also, a whole bunch of fans recently got together for Metroid's 25th anniversary and recorded a 2-disc remix album in celebration. It's not on OCR but was rather put together by Shinesparkers, but a lot of the big names from OCR are there like Mazedude and even Stemage of Metroid Metal made an entry. It kicks Relics of the Chozo's behind in oh so many ways. Harmony of a Hunter (Video Preview)
