Hey all, I'm on a bit of a binge of increasing my music collection. I was wondering if people could post their favorite things from www.ocremix.org? I'm not looking for anything specific, but I know you can find some good shit on there. Thanks.
My favourites:
Zelda 64 - hyrule party mix
Battletoads - Bird guy jam
Yoshi's island - ElasticNewYear
Megaman X - Dreams come true (and everything else by star salzman)
I would recommend leaving ocremix.org radio on, and downloading any tunes that take your fancy
It might be worth simply grabbing the batch torrents and taking a listen, deleting whatever you don't particularly care for.
Something to note about the batch torrents is that they contain songs that are no longer available for individual download from the site, including several very good songs that were removed because they were actually original compositions using assets from the game rather than a true remix.
Final Fantasy 7 - "Fight On"
Mega Man 2 - "Dr. Wily Haunts Flashman"
Really, you ought to just browse through the entirety of the Mega Man games. Quality soundtracks to begin with.
Super Metroid - "One Girl in all the World" - It my be a different, but similarly titled one, but the one I'm thinking of is am ambient piano-centric piece.

Bolded ones are highly recommended. I may have missed a few but those are all on my "Best of OCR" winamp playlist.

0:10 - hrm, a slow start but I'm still hopeful
0:30 - zzz....
0:53 - huh?! YES!
1:00 - YESSSS
1:06 - YESSSSSSS
4:03 - noob friendly guitar tab found
4:07 - noob friendly guitar tab etched into retinas.

Thank you for making my entire day, sir.
PS - If anyone finds the full tabs, let me know! :-(
Years ago, I had a full album of Donkey Kong Country remixes, I'd love to find it again but I can't find it on OCRemix. I remember the aquatic level track had a really deep chant in the background.
Terra in Black is the best game remix I've ever heard.
Pretty much. Any competent guitar remix sounds pretty damn good though.
Which reminds me, the same guy who did Terra in Black did this non-OC remix of some music from the original Final Fantasy.
Screw your orchestral arrangements of FF7 music (honestly if they had just used anything other than MIDI for the game in the first place nobody would make such a huge deal out of remixing it, let it die already), this stuff is where remixing genius really shows.

Edit: is there an easy way to find live tracks on ocremix? Stuff that's not done entirely on a computer?
