Professional Game Composers and Amateurism

I'm of the opinion that an arrangement could have 5% or simply even the same backing chord structure and still be enjoyable and a fitting remix.

I dunno, I guess I just have a more diverse taste in music. (man, that sounds arrogant, sorry)

The Black Market rap remix on the "Bound Together" Earthbound album was hilarious, so was the older Chrono Trigger "Gato" genre-crossing remix on OCR back a few years ago.

With the recent FFVII "Voices of the Lifestream" album release, a few posters on a few boards said they couldn't recognize the theme in the fanfare remix track, but I picked up on it immediately. The remix itself was great.

This is free music, guys, I can't see how you would limit yourselves to the idea that "oh, I'm just downloading this because I like the original track, I'm going to shut this off if it doesn't sound like the original (even if the song is good)". Saying that a remixer can't go against the style of the original, as if the original song is a sacred god that must not be blasphemed... that's just plain retarded. With this mindset, we'd never have great reactionary artwork or literature.

And to add, I love the F-Zero jazz album, I listen to it regularly (I know, I know... my username is a bit biased).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'll see if I can upload it tonight for you somewhere.

EDIT: SHIT, beaten. Heh, well, I'll still try to upload it later.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

There's the link if anyone's interested. Good album, although if you hate "smooth" jazz, stay away.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
