Does anyone listen to video game music? If so do you know what ocremix is? I used to visit the website a long time ago but I just recently visited it after I forgot about it.Listening toall those classic NES games songs are so nostalgic.

I LOVE video game music! I made a huge list of games/series with music I like in another thread here.

Never heard of this Ocremix place, though. Does it only have NES music? Or does it have more than that?

I love Vg music just ordered 7 more cd's.

I have OC remixes for SFII that a friend gave me. Not bad stuff, but something I'm not overly into either.

Basically it has a bunch of remixed video game music uploaded by variousartists for all the systems that have ever been out. There are some really good ones in the bunch but they are hard to find. If you want help with finding a couple to get you started, I could point you in the right direction. I just happen to find the NES music the best because I'm so awed that these musicianstransformed that 8-bit music into a work of art.

This is a link to just one song. It's a mario medly.

Love VG Music, and I've found a lot of gold on OCRemix. Especially Atonement, But The Future Refused To Change, Seized With Fury, and The Winds Of Inishmore. They're all amazing.

Same here. For most games, the original music is great, plus it brings up thoughts of playing the game.

I really like game music as well. I haven't been to ocremix in a while, but that site used to be flooded with pop-ups. Are they better now?

Krool Intentions (a Crocodile Cacophony remix by Protricity) is one of the greatest pieces of music I have ever heard. An excellent mix of electric guitar, orchestra and techno.

I was a huge fan of Ocremix, but it seems like they have forced the submissions to not sound like the original source work except for very faint resemblances. I liked the older stuff where the main themes were stronger and more focused. I still think zircon is my favorite mixer though.

I listen to music from the Silent Hill games, composed by Akira Yamaoka. Without him composing the music, if there's ever another SH game it will never be the same.

Well anyway to those who have never tried listening to anything on ocremix.org, I would highly suggest it. There are handful of high quality remixes. I used to have a large collection but that was a few years ago. Now I have about 9 or 10 that I really like that still give me that nostalgic feeling.

Generally don't pay attention to video game music outside of the game itself. Silent Hill's soundtracks are an exception.

Most of my video game music mostly comes from my favorite JRPG franchise, Final Fantasy. Nobuo Uematsu is a musical genius.

I also listen to lots of renditions on electric guitar, like Contra, Duke Nukem and Double Dragon. I also listen to classic Castlevania tracks like Vampire Killer and Bloody Tears.

It is almost all I listen to nowadays, I prefer the originals, but a lot of remixes are good too.

The only videogame soundtrack I've ever purchased was the one for MGS 3. It's freakin awesome.

FFVII is good. Shadow of the colossus is godly. Spyro is awesome. MGS is also amazingly good.

I'm an avid fan of VGM, it being my favorite music genre. Never heard of Ocremix, though. I'll check it out, thanks for pointing it out.

VGM is amazing. I always wanted a radio station with video game music. The composers are musical geniuses and they received the recognition they deserve.
