The Minibosses - Oldschool game music with a new feel

Post by kojikun »

Anyone else heard of these guys? Great music. They do remakes of old
video game music, only using rock instruments. Castlevania, Metroid, etc.
Great stuff. And free to download!

Check 'em out at Minibosses.com. :D

"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

*cough* http://remix.overclocked.org *cough*

More remixers, more variety. Not saying that site ain't cool too, but... well, it's hard to find equal to many of those remixers... (Most notably the ones like Scott Peeples, djpretzel, FFMusicDJ, analoq... the ones that have are good that Square has hired them to do remixes for them.)

Thats true ... but what if you dont like electronic music ? -,- ... then overclocked is shit ...


I like the way the minibosses do some songs and i like the way OC remixes do someshit, but for the most part, i think OC kills fucking Castlevania way too much ... blasphomers

It takes a little looking, but you can find some good non-electronica on OC Remix. And yes, the Minibosses rock. And interestingly, there are those who choose to stay independent, and many of the artists on OCR have quite a few songs on their own site that aren't on OCR. One independent I ran across recently by browsing the Minibosses forum was Metroid Metal. Check it out.[/url]

Bull. Remix does not equal electronic. You didn't check out any of those remixers I suggested? Scott Peeples especially. He doesn't have hardly any techno.
