    The Dark Side of Phobos

    I'm sorry, but I just can't agree here. In a lot of ways this is my favorite community project has put together yet. A lot of great tracks, a good feel for the original tunes, a lot of BUILDING on the original tunes. That's what OCR is ABOUT, really. Taking the original tunes, building on them, exploring new things, helping them grow into something else entirely. Something new but still reminiscent and nostalgic. The BUILDING is an important part in every OCReMix (Ok well...post 1000 and something, anyway). Anyone can take a midi of an original tune, open it up with Cakewalk, slap on a few guitar samples and synths, throw a drum loop over it, and call it there own, but is it REALLY? OCReMix encourage GROWTH as a musician, hell the SITE mission says it pretty clearly points that out. This is a gross exaggeration and completely ignorant statement. There are a lot of electronic songs on OCR, sure, and a lot of electronic style songs on this particular project, but they by NO means make up all of EITHER. I wouldn't even say most of either. Both OCR and DSoP have a wide range of styles, and it's insulting to the artists, artists who work hard to share something they love with others, and ask nothing in return, to say that they're untalented and stuck in a single mode of music. I could repeat everything I've said before, but really it's not even worth the time. And even if OCReMix can't please EVERYONE, it sure pleases a lot of people. A lot of IMPORTANT people, at that: http://www.rome.ro/vgm.php All that being said, anyone who HASN'T heard these tracks yet, I wouldn't let the above, QUITE biased, reviews deter you from checking them out. There's some really excellent stuff on this project, and a lot of people put a LOT of time (close to a year now) into it FOR YOU.
