Streets of Rage

Surgeon Pretzel's Warning: Listening to this ReMix at anything less than deafening levels could cause premature loss of soul, squareness, and severe mojo deficiencies. It's nice to see some new faces on the OC ReMix field, especially when their opening ReMixes are as balls-to-the-walls fun as MR_44's industrial techno take on the boss theme from Yuzo's masterful Streets of Rage soundtrack. Heavily distorted and cross-delayed synthage is the staple food, with some heavy drums, even more distorted industrial "shrieks", and lovely audio quotes towards the end as the satisfying ala carte items. This track opens strong and stays that way. Interesting sidenote - I tend to stay away from boss themes, myself, because they're often more repetitive than actual level bgm, but 44 has picked a genre and implementation that well suits this particular type of bgm, which is one of the better boss tracks to begin with. The ReMixer added: "made with a Yamaha rm1x, Waldorf Q, Korg Electribe S (sampler), Roland AX-1 midi controller keyboard (the kind with the guitar strap :) )and recorded to a Roland VS-840EX digital multitracker." Brother got some gear. Gotta check this one out - it packs a lot of whoopass into 2 megs.

I really wanted to love this mix, but even for only being just over 2 mins long it felt like it was really dragging. I would have liked to see some more ideas introduced here, it just didn't catch me.
Love the ending though. Nice touch!

and the last 7-post review bites the dust.
i loved the mix. a bit repetitive, but as a whole i thought it was great. one of those mixes i never got around to listening to, because i never played streets of rage.
nice work.

I am definitely sensing feelings of dire urgency and seriousness throughout this mix and not much else.
The vocal samples at the end aren't really used to their fullest potential, and everything before that, well..., there isn't really anything noteworthy before the vocal samples.
Ultimately, it's really too repetitive to be interesting.

Seems a lot longer than 2:11 to me. A bit too repetative for my tastes, combined with not really enough going on. I can't say I'm crazy about it personally.

Mortal Kombat anyone? I could totally hear the low voice announcer start listing off the MK fighter's names through this.
The transition between the solitary synth back to the full mix is all kinds of akward, but I gotta say this mix is pretty sweet; very driving, But maybe a bit too repetitive.
I remember seeing that movie, and it is possibly the worst movie I have ever seen that I loved.

apparantly, history isn't the only thing that repeats itself! great mix i just wish it wouldn't repeat the same verse over and over and over and over . . . and over again:banghead:

This song grabs you by the genitals and slams you onto the concrete. It could have used a little more variety even for a short piece but I still like it and had the nerve to bump it loudly in my car.

Thank you, Mr. 'Nuff.

Hey that voice sample is from that movie Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon. Cool! I loved that movie and so this remix ROX! 8)

One of my favorite songs to kick ass to. This has a spot in the "get carter" soundtrack.
Who's the master?
Mr. 44!

I love very deep 303’s. This mix defiantly has a lot of that going on. As well as a whole bunch of awesome distortion, and some kick ass vocal samples to wrap it all up. I must say Mr. 44 this one is a treat, excellent work.
