Peeples dials in with another winner, a groove-based ReMix of music from the original C&C. I have to confess, I never really got into good ole' C&C, but when Red Alert came along I did play that quite a bit. With a good beat, some very nice and ghostly pads, a dominating bassline, and some nice scratching to complement the drum loop, the required elements are all present and accounted for. Basically, this track is everything you would expect a decent C&C ReMix done Peeples style would be - that's primarily a strength, but with this particular ReMix I did feel at certain points that Peeples might have been on auto-pilot. It's never bad, and DEFINITELY warrants a download, I'm just sayin' that while it's a quality track that isn't markedly below Peeples' VERY high standards, it doesn't sound like a piece that would have challenged him. I enjoyed it all the same, and you probably will too :)

Wow, I never commented on this? Shit, I really thought I did. This was such a big favorite of mine in my olden days in '02. monkofevil's comment that this arrangement actually works better in a C&C environment than the original was something I realized as soon as I first listened to it. Really solid, chill material from Scott, it's a classic.

You gotta love Klepacki for his source. But I find that this song is actually more suited to command and conquer (TS) than the original soundtrack.Great job peeples!

Groove-heavy and funky, if this song won't make you do the DJP, nothing will.
There is a good amount of variation, and the scratching break is fantastic. The source tune itself has a ambient-style melody, and Scott's treatment of it is spot-on. I especially like the way the bass gets mixed up early and often. It plays several varations of the original groove, and keeps things fresh.
I guess i've described the song as both funky and fresh now, so my work here is done.

This is a pretty good mix, but kinda repettitive(oops) cool in its own right, and also a question: where the hell are all the RA:2 mixes? i wanna hear some of those m'kay?

great stuff. Even if I wasnt a C&C fan I would have liked it just for the music.

this is extremely cool.

this was my 2nd most favorite song of all the great command and conquers and peeples did a great job with it

I dunno what the hell you guys are talking about; I loved it.
This is the song that really made Peeples become my favorite recurring OCReMixer (and I say recurring because if mutagene would post more often, he'd be my favorite). I've long considered Frank Klepacki's work to be really damn cool, and hearing remixes of it was just 8O
So anyway, I love the little verbed-out bell sound. It helps retain a lot of the whole sneaking-around vibe that the original had. The drums are pretty groovy, as has been already mentioned. The bass should be made note of because while it has a certain dominant presence, it doesn't overpower everything else, and that's definitely a good thing. Anyway, this remix rocks. Download it. Now.

As has been mentioned, there is no actual [i]climax[/i] within this song. However it does brings to mind images of commandos slipping into an enemy base at night; movie stuff with a sophisticated set designer and a director who gives the 1-up to typical Hollywood exaggerations and giant explosions. These hollywood commandoes don't make a fuss, they don't make empty threats, they slip in do their job (cleanly and professionally) and try to get out alive again. An interesting way to give a recommendation for this song :wink: [/i]

This one starts out a bit soft, but you can already tell that it has the Peeples seal of quality. The melody is laid back and jazzy, but with a bit of rockin' to it. Peeples doesn't let us down on this one. Not his best though; it could have used a little more of a strong point.

Command & Conquer 'On the Prowl Redux'
YES! I love Command & Conquer (the Red Alert series may have been better, but still) and I love Scott Peeples. Why don’t we mash the two together and see what happens. Massive action flick style cool song madness! My only suggestion would be to give this one a tad more power, because it sounds a tad soft for Command & Conquer. Besides that, I can only say that this is one that you shouldn’t miss. Peeples always sets us up with awesome tunes, never fails.
