OCRemix, rediscovering video game music
by KyuHello world! well, first i’d like to apologise for my interrupted blogging pace, actually am designing a new theme for the blog (so that i get aquainted again with css / php / xhtml 
) i will try to post more regularly though
Now, you might be wondering about the title right? no? well doesn’t matter, i’ll tell you anyway xD
OverClocked Remix is a site where users can post their arrangements or “remixes” of soundtracks from video games. Well i know, put like this it sounds somewhat banal,
but i really like this site because the remixes are often not simple enhancements to the original tracks but complete reinterpretations of said tracks in a completely different genre.
Being a geek from the NES (or its pirate little brother the “family game” :P) generation, and then having owned a SNES and Megadrive, rediscovering those soundtracks which represent a large part of my childhood (ok ok, early teens, its all the same anyways :P) was really cool (nostalgia etc, fans of final fantasy / chrono trigger will understand what i mean )
by the way, speaking of chrono trigger, one of the best arrangements i’ve heard on OCRemix come from this game, Magus’ theme
, the saturated guitar just adds something to this soundtrack, excellent 
Also of interest is This version of “materia junkie” (FF7), or the battle theme’s remix
this compilation of arrangements from FF7 is also excellent. am not specially a fan of all those soundtracks, but i must admit there’s some excellent work put into that o_O some tracks are even much better than the original, <3 :D
After quickly going through the “games” category, i must say i was impressed by the variety of games (pc / console) they had. it varies from 1988 Nes games to 2006 ps2
games (up to where i’ve browsed)
a word of warning though, if you get to see games that you like, you might be tempted to download all the related soundtracks :P
