I figure, since the boards originated there, then there aught to be a thread here about it. Fav ReMixers and fav ReMixes plz. I personally can't really download anything new (as my comp is a POS 4.0GB and currently has somewhere around 50-70MB free, ouch right?).

I didn't really get heavily into any of the composers at OCR, just a few of songs I wanted (mostly Chrono songs like The Trial in Concert by Spekkosaurus, Time's New Scar by gutzalpus, and 600 A.D. in Piano by kLuTz).

Mostly I stuck with the ones that got lots of praise and were nice techno ReMixes of songs I already previously liked. The main ReMixers I got into were CotMM (Children of the Monkey Machine) mainly due to his Magus Theme ReMixes, Magus Temporal Rehab & Magus Decay of Hope and his Ocean Palace Wave Breaker ReMix. Both a few of my favorite Chrono pieces of music, and I love CotMM's industrialesk & ambient sounds.

I also really dug on DJ Seith's fast-paced scratching, although some of his ReMixes got cut a while back, I'm glad I got a hold of 'em (although I'm sure he's got 'em on a site of his or something somewhere). The two Water Warning ReMixes are nice side-by-side or alone to me.

I think Beatdrop & mp should definately work together more often. Mystic Mountain 2 LATE Mix & House Hornet are a couple of my favorite mixes. Beatdrops solo Man With Another Trance Machine (FFVIII), It's Difficult To Stand When You're On Acid (FFVII), and even Komplete Kontrol (Mortal Kombat)  are fantastic. Is it just me or does Darude's Out of Control fit nicely with Komplete Kontrol? It might just be aesthetics though...hmm..

Currently I think Mazedude is one of my favorites right now. His ReMixes on Doom 2 are great, and I love his FFVII ReMix Space Station of the Ancients. Of course, River City Rammstein is great too.

As for the host mr. pretzel, I've gotta say he's got the goods when it comes down to it. I enjoy his FFVI ReMix Morning After, Altered Beast's Resurrection by Breakbeat, and Space Harrier's Disco. I think his CT ReMix Revival Day Impoetus is byfar one of the best CT ReMixes, and one of the best ReMixes i've heard on OC easy. It fits nice with CotMM's Ocean Palace Wave Breaker too, neat!

I'm sure there are tons of others I could mention, and tons more I haven't heard yet, so do tell (man that sounds really gay)!

Ailsean, Spekkosaurus, and the "Team Gato" Team are three of the most owning owners that ever owned the Chrono series OCR scene. I just can't get enough of that Frog-meets-Steiner-meets-Ants Go Marching combo, Spekkio revealing his Scottish side, or Gato's "terrible" karaoke...

DJP's kickin' banjo fair mix, several of the Schala mixes, and JAXX's mixes also stand above the rest, but admittedly, most of the knock my socks off (CC mixes included).

I didn't particularly like CotMM's work with the Magus theme, but that style is also not something I favor in general. I did like what he did with the Ocean Palace theme, though.

Outside of the Chrono mixes, I don't have very broad horizons for what I've listened to or downloaded from OCR - yet. I've gone through the entire collection of mixes from the Metroid series, and I have to say, there are quite a few good ones there. Ailsean continues his trend of kickin' arse, Vigilante takes "atmosphere" to a whole new level by basically creating the feeling of being on Zebes with "Zebesian Midnight," and both AmIEvil and The Wingless contribute several excellent mixes to this group.

Outside of that, I've only listened to a few particular songs suggested by friends: Ailsean's "Terra In Black," The Wingless's "Godspeed," and Rayza's "Frozen Knuckles." Although, I have to admit, the vocals at the beginning of Rayza's Sonic mix, there, are a bit disturbing... Jamaican Sonic... ugh.

I agree, the Frog/Steiner song is excellent. As is, "Island of Zeal" and especially "Enter the Frog".

The new Sonic 2 remix is jaw-droppingly impressive.

IMO Another Inspiration by Scott Peeples is even better than the original CC Another World Theme
