Seems I'm in a chatty mood tonight, so I thought I'd throw up yet another thread of delicious goodness for my brethren on TL. A friend of mine introduced me to this little place called OCremix some years ago, and frankly, Alongside teamliquid, OCR is probably a twin in terms of dedication, creativity and general awesomeness.
OCR is a site dedicated to archiving and remastering videogame music. It's the haunt of the progamer equivalent of the game music community- extremely talented amateurs and freelancers who put up extremely impressive work simply out of passion. OCR has made a whole bunch of community produced remix albums for games like doom, chronotrigger, final fantasy and donkey kong. It even produced the official soundtrack for the XBL version of streetfighter 2.
The site has a very strict hosting requirement, with each remix/piece being evaluated by a panel of judges before being allowed up, so there's about one or two new tracks a fortnight. The results are, however, stellar. There's stuff for pretty much every taste:
If you like rocking out:
(DOOM)
(Chronotrigger)
maybe something a bit more stirring?:
(chronotrigger)
(zelda)
(halo)
Want to chill?:
(Seiken densetsu 3 (secret of mana sequel) )
(unreal tournament)
(linus spacehead)
Or just a hit of nostalgia?:
(street fighter 2)
(megaman 2)
And of course there's even the odd one for the psychologically deviant among us..
OCRemix is awesome, some of my favourite remixes are Another Inspiration and Gerudo Peeples by a remixer named Scott Peeples. They're pretty old remixes though... but I still like them
Edit: Oh man the Unreal Tournament song brings up memories of facing worlds. The original Foregone Destruction is better than the ocremix version though imo
