History AwesomeMusic / OverClockedReMix

* "Malevolent Mansion" is a kickass drums-and-bass remix of "Mad Monster Mansion" from ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie''. Crunchy guitar riffs mixed with bombastic synthesizer and percussion work, and by the time the nostalgia-inducing xylophone kicks in, you'll be grinning from ear to ear. Even ''Grant Kirkhope'', the guy who composed the soundtrack for the original game called it "bloody marvelous!" ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSDzGIAN_fE stream]]/[[http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01773/ download]])

* From the ''Franchise/TalesSeries'' album:

** As well as [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6GMsJVP9fE "Rhymes with Elixir]], a [[TheLonelyIsland Lonely Island]]-esque parody rap song with multiple SugarWiki/FunnyMoments.

* Even disco gets its due on the site with the catchy, potentially EarWorm-y[[http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01368/ "Bust This Groove '81"]] (based on "Blue Knife (Bust A Move Edit)" from, well, ''Bust A Move'').

* Vigilante's "Beneath the Surface" ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZK4ACg3gI8 stream]]/[[http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01242/ download]]), from the fantastic ''Kong in Concert'' project. A mesmerizing remix of the underwater music from ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry''.

* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3'': "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80rTcuRdRnc Battle Rocks]]" by [AmIEviL], an awesome remix of the Hammer Bro battle theme.

* "[[http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR02411/ Amorelle]]", a {{Nujabes}}-styled remix of ''VideoGame/{{Shenmue}}'' music. Not bad at all.

* Neblix and AMT's mashup of the "Wily Stage 1" and "Flash Man Stage", [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1ZQZsVjT9M Light Your Way]], is an epic remix of the two which the remixers fully admit was patterned after Witchcraft by drum and bass/rock band {{Pendulum}}.

** Similarly there's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xsbTlrpkg4 Prancing Dad]] by Tony Dickenson. It's a remix of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI "Dancing Mad"]] with chanting similar/inspired by [[AwesomeMusic/FinalFantasy One]] [[OneWingedAngel Winged]] [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Angel]] and AwesomeMusic/DreamTheater [[EpicRocking style soloing]].
* From the ''Final Fantasy VI'' album ''Balance and Ruin'', take the opera tunes from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'', add a big dose of {{Music/Queen}}'s "Bohemian Rhapsody", and turn Draco and Maria into StarCrossedLovers à la Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet, and what you get is the epic rock opera "The Impresario" ([[http://youtu.be/7xFhULStbkQ stream]]/[[http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR02699/ download]]).
** In case that isn't enough for you, consider that Creator/NobuoUematsu's reaction to hearing this track was saying he needed to buy the creators a beer. ApprovalOfGod, folks.

* From the [=FFVII=] Voices of the Lifestream album, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpfe1BkP2HA "Beginning of the End"]]. A remix [=bLiNd=] made of the already kickass song "Birth of a God". Seriously, [=OverClocked=], get this stuff up on your main site!

* Preenus's (collab name for Jake Kaufman and Snappleman) only remix on the site "Full Mast" ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VV2Enalo0c stream]]/[[http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR02520/ download]]) Epic Pirates of the Caribbean mixed with Riverdance mixed with bombastic orchestral rock and you get this epic 5+ minute epic take on the Title music, Ancient Hero and Ocean bgms from [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker Wind Waker]].

* [=LuIzA's=] [[https://https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngH9ut0ayPM "... And in Her Self-Loathing and Despair, She Found Wrath"]] is a remix of Schala's theme, turning an ethereal, mysterious song into a grinding heavy-metal dirge that builds up only to restrain itself momentarily--then it explodes into the finale.

* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'': "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5NurUkRObc Bowser is Pissed]]" by [PriZm], an awesome and downright sinister remix of the original castle theme.

* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1": "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5NurUkRObc Bowser is Pissed]]" by [PriZm], an awesome and downright sinister remix of the original castle theme.

* "[[http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR02118/ Power of the Meat]]". You like ''VideoGame/SuperMeatBoy''? Try it with vocals.

* "Dueling Consoles" ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jN_mh2rx-o4 stream]]/[[http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01485/ download]]) by Shnabubula is a remix of ''VideoGame/SecretOfMana'''s boss theme with a ConsoleWars twist. An NES and a Sega Genesis start competing with each-other in the arena of chiptune music. It starts with the two sources alternating, then playing at the same time, with both sides trying to gain dominance. And then, at 2:00 in, the two sounds ''fuse together'' into a rendition of ''Danger'' way more awesome than either one could be alone. 8-bit music has never been so ''metal''.

* Navi's [[http://youtu.be/VxJCC7Ezf98 Remix]] of ''ParappaTheRapper'' has some serious flow.

* "Hell March To The Apocalypse", which takes the already intense "Hell March" from ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert'' and adds orchestration. The result is guaranteed to kick your teeth in. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNcw6znVZN0 Stream]] / [[http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01884 Download]]

[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNcw6znVZN0 Stream]] / [[http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01884 Download]]

* Darangen's "Atonement" ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nm53E2s6lj0 stream]]/[[http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01377/ download]]), a howling metal remix of the always-popular "[[VideoGame/ChronoTrigger Battle with Magus]]," with a twist.
* [[http://symphonic.herograw.org/final/CD1/Chrono_Symphonic_11_The_Masamune.mp3 The Masamune]] by ellywu2 from the "Chrono Symphonic" album. An awesome mix of "Frog's' Theme," it really gives you the feeling that you gotta ''earn'' that sword of awesome power. A shame it's not up on the main site.

* A brilliant remix by Darangen, "Finally Home," takes the "Temple of Chaos" music from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyI'' and turns it into, of all things, credits music. And it works really well, actually ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnKaMAfqiHs stream]]/[[http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01451/ download]]).
* Darangen had made a mix of the same song a year before hand known as "Warriors of Light," which is just as awesome. It turns the song into a trumphant battle type of background. Perhaps not better, but definitely still awesome ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-XK09vh5fU stream]]/[[http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01339/ download]]).
* Newcomer katethegreat19 made an excellent first impression with her lyrical version of ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX FFIX]]'''s "Rose of May." Note that all the vocals ''and'' the harp, guitar, drum, and recorder are all done by her. ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNHtbw4Kyf0 stream]]/[[http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01859/ download]]).
* "Messenger in the Key of Black," a remix of ''Final Fantasy IX'''s Dark Messenger. Nex and lightwarmth managed to turn the theme into a grand piano piece that still manages to fit Kuja to a tee ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZCSV_rFkyo stream]]/[[http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01238/ download]]).

* From the [=FFVII=] Voices of the Lifestream album, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpfe1BkP2HA "Beginning of the End"]]. A remix [=bLiNd=] made of the already kickass song "Birth of a God." Seriously, [=OverClocked=], get this stuff up on your main site!

** There's also [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcHepO6VX1Y "Metal Mage"]], as well as [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXUETrBRlSU "Almost Fell for the Trojan"]], which is a beautiful and mood shifting remix of "Troian Beauty."

** As well as [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6GMsJVP9fE "Rhymes with Elixir]], a [[TheLonelyIsland Lonely Island]]-esque parody rap song with multiple [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Crowning Moments of Funny]].

* From the ''Final Fantasy VI'' album ''Balance and Ruin'', take the opera tunes from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'', add a big dose of {{Music/Queen}}'s "Bohemian Rhapsody," and turn Draco and Maria into StarCrossedLovers à la Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet, and what you get is the epic rock opera "The Impresario" ([[http://youtu.be/7xFhULStbkQ stream]]/[[http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR02699/ download]]).
* Also off ''Balance and Ruin'' is the super catchy remix of Phantom Train, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NL-Q0TLsu6k Gobble, Snarf, Snap]]

* Though his name is comparatively mundane, Tyler Heath took the minimal ocarina tunes "Bolero of Fire," "Requiem of Spirit" and "The Song of Storms" (or "Windmill Hut") from ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]'' and created the incredible "A Storm in the Desert" ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo9g5pFgDWk stream]]/[[http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01153/ download]]).

* The Wingless's "One Girl in All the World," a fantastic take on the "Red Brinstar" music from Super Metroid. ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyjTNnQD36A stream]]/[[http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01048/ download]]).
* "All the World in One Girl," also by The Wingless, is the jazzed-up counterpart to the above. Yes, it's the credits music for ''WebAnimation/{{Haloid}}'' ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbUOSL69iXQ stream]]/[[http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01080/ download]]).

* From the same album (''Reserve Tank - [=VARIAtions=]''), there's also "In Your Prime," a great mix of the Brinstar music by Big Giant Circles ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=188xD74SpKw stream]]/[[http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01820/ download]]).
* Children of the Monkey Machine make creepy, atmospheric music. For example, "Drowned in Exile," his take on ''Super Metroid'''s already ominous Maridia 2 music ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLlfA-LD49o stream]]/[[http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00850/ download]]).

* [=DarkeSword=] is awesome, Sixto Sounds is awesome, so what do you get when you put 'em together? A high octane remix of course! This being the case for [[http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01712/ "Metamorphic Rock"]]. A sweet remix of "Green Hill Zone," "Marble Zone," and "Final Zone" from ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog''.

* Also from ''Sonic 3 & Knuckles'', Jivemaster's "Lava Reach" takes the Lava Reef Zone themes' status as CrowningMusicOfAwesome UpToEleven. ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfus3YXKmmQ stream]]/[[http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01376/ download]])

* "Devastation's Doorway," an electro-orchestral-epic remix of the Bowser stages from ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkksNk5mPtA stream]]/[[http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01611/ download]]).

* There's also "Alpha Blade," the trance remix of "Suck a Sage (Chipp Zanuff's Theme)" by Beatdrop ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYV7Rdehblk stream]]/[[http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01664/ download]]).
* "[[Franchise/StreetFighter The Ken Song]]," by jdproject. The lyrics may be a bit tongue-in-cheek, but the guitar is excellent, the vocals are solid, and the tune catchy. Realize your Ken! ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEpucWDZZL0 stream]]/[[http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01266/ download]]).

* Anyone into heavy metal will want to check out goat's contributions. "The Raven," his remix of ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaI'''s "Wicked Child," is a good place to start ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Llewpvyxb9E stream]]/[[http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01173/ download]]).

* "That's What You Get," a mix of "Graceful Assassin" from ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories'', enough said. The only thing making this mix awesomer is that it was made by [=DrumUltimA=] and [=MomUltimA=]. That's right, a mother and son remixed this together ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DS04jD4LNC0 stream]]/[[http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01729/ download]]).
* Speaking of ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'', sephfire made an awesome remix for [[VideoGame/KingdomHearts the original]] called [[http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01229/ "Above the Rising Falls]]." As apparently the Hollow Bastion music is just ''that awesome.''

* Star Salzman's "Pillar of Salt," a jammin' ''VideoGame/{{Xenogears}}'' remix with lyrics in Arabic and Hebrew ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXj3Fy3JSEM stream]]/[[http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01225/ download]]).

* Bladiator and The Orichalcon team up to give us "Clairvoyant Elegy," a not quite funk, not quite pop, but definitely awesome remix from ''Final VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nD_hl5AcsA stream]]/[[http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01285/ download]]).

* "Frame of Mind," a silky-smooth ''VideoGame/BeyondGoodAndEvil'' medley by Aurora, destructo and [=SGX=] ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2uMVmKkEIs stream]]/[[http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01189/ download]]).

* From the [=FFVII=] Voices of the Lifestream album, [[http://ocrmirror.org/ff7/MP3/4-08%20bLiNd%20-%20Beginning%20of%20the%20End%20(Birth%20of%20a%20God).mp3 "Beginning of the End"]]. A remix [=bLiNd=] made of the already kickass song "Birth of a God." Seriously, [=OverClocked=], get this stuff up on your main site!

* Shnabubula and Prince Of Darkness's Jazz/Blues Fusion cover of Cyan/Cayenne's Theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHFO71wxX_w The Hot Pink Of Blues]].

* "Absolution Comes in Dreams" ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWtdLdi2USU stream]]/[[http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01975/ download]]), an acoustic remix of [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 "Dreams of an Absolution"]], with some of the work done by Cyril the Wolf. No more needs to be said.
