Comment: Ocremix.org is a site for music
activists and artists who are being enthusiastic for searching and creating with
regard to the videogame music. This time a bunch of artists who have created 23
compositions are being keen to pay tribute to such men as Dan Miyakawa, and Jun
Ishikawa who created a game called “Kirby Super Star”. However, do not make
adverse opinions about the issue because that hint does not mean this
tremendous mixed bag involves 8-bit/chiptune/chipbreak progressions only. There
are also up enthralling guitar driven and orchestrated (with or without brass sections)
opuses with obviously different sound quality rates. For instance, Sixto Sounds
exploits punchy metal drums, powerful guitar riffs and overwhelming
orchestrations with a hint at mariachi music. PrototypeRaptor reveals his preferences
in the vein of hip-hop, soul, and R`n`B music, of course, set out in his own
terms. By going on, gentle melodies and light-hearted, volatile motives are
also represented over there to spawn good sentiments and touching sensations for
you. In fact, the release is a tickling quest for the listener to rediscover
new undercurrents, sonic plateaus and highlands and densely crossed styles being
still possible to be dug out from some compartments of pop music. There are
represented such musicians as halc, Insert Rupee, Geoffrey Taucer, Usa;
PROTO-DOME, Ergosonic, Sir NutS, Brandon Strader, Hylian Lemon, Mazedude,
Benjamin Briggs, OverCoat, Monobrow, OverCoat, Sixto SoundsPrototypeRaptor, The
OverClocked Plaid Muffins. Few tracks are composed in collaboration between some
of the aforementioned artists. In a nutshell, let`s listen to this smorgasbord of
two discs and find out your cup of tea.
