OCRemix has released its newest album, Pokémon: The Missingno Tracks, right around Pokémon's 15th anniversary. Go get it!
Why would you do that? said:I don't usually like game remixes. One reason why is because, a lot of the time, they seem to include that heavy metal guitar for no reason.
However, I feel like I should give this one a shot.

Suairyu said:EDIT - OH GOD the opening two tracks are even worse on a second playthrough. Just fucking terrible.
Suairyu said:Actually, let's play a game of spot the OCRemix tropes!
So the opening tracks have 'god awful metal version of original arrangement, no changes other than tempo' covered.
Third track has 'play the original 8bit music first, then transition into remix like you're the only one who has ever done it'. (It is a pretty boss remix of Palette Town, though, so no knock against the quality of the track)
Oh he's skilled alright, but an uninspired musical device is an uninspired musical device. It was a pointless and clichéd intro into a fantastic piece of music.Murrah said:All of halc's songs on OCR are fantastic; one of my favorite remixers to ever hit the site. If you haven't already you should check out some of his other stuff if you're into chiptunes

This and portions of DKC2 are the only OCR albums I actually like.Crewnh said:I really loved OCR's DKC album, will listen to this.
Pretty much this, and I don't care how good a vocalist you/your friends are, please none of it, it's usually just really awkward. I always hate, too, when people just take a track and try to shove it into this "epic orchestra" kinda genre. More often than not it's just not very good, especially when there's more than one (this particular bit really soured the Chrono Trigger OCR album for me). You always have to wade through the usual dreck on these albums to get to the good stuff. (Though one notable exception, IMO, was the DKC2 comp, very few terrible trope-ish tracks on that one, solid mix project) HOWEVER what good stuff is there is usually very, very good.Suairyu said:Yeah, the OCRemix regulation 2+ tracks of "same arrangement, swap out intended instrument for electric guitar AND PLAY IT FAST" are there, but there are a few gems tucked away inside.
EDIT - OH GOD the opening two tracks are even worse on a second playthrough. Just fucking terrible.

Nekofrog said:Mark me as someone who thought the DKC2 album was pretty terrible -- my song excluded (but I'm biased). But I'm of the opinion that a lot of OCR albums are awful, outside of my contributions. The FF4 album was probably scraping the bottom of the barrel.
But you guys are going to be surprised at some of the stuff we're working on now. I can honestly say, if you at all enjoy any of my stuff, what we have waiting in the wings is going to blow your socks off.

Downloading this now. I don't have high hopes but I do hope to find one or two favorites.
I've always been against the singing tracks, but A New Place and Us Monkeys Together made me think that exceptions can be made, some times.
Nekofrog said:Not collaberators, I didn't work with them on any music. Compilation effort, bro. If a song sucks, it sucks.
Crocodile Cacophony was meant to be a spoof of death metal, that's what I set out to make. Since death metal for the most part is pretty terrible to begin with, I think I achieved what I set out for.
Andrex said:Congrats on deliberately making a lame song then?
