BRUH It's the

Yooooo this is fantastic, definite Princess Mononoke vibes here, Joe would approve.

I might be minority here but I use AIMP, a free audio player available for Windows and Android, designed by some Russian group of folks. I like it because within Windows it allows me to add my already meticulously organized folders of music and play them from that folder structure without creating a zillion playlists, although I can if I want to, and it's also got smart playlists, remember those? The one useful thing about iTunes? Like "If this song has been played in the last 3 months take it off this playlist" kind of smart playlists? Yeah. Cool shit. The Android player is marginally less full of functionality, no smart playlists there, but you throw audio onto your phone, add the folder and it will automagically create a playlist with the name of the folder it came from. It's served my needs admirably for years, and it's also cheap as free. www.aimp.ru, and just search AIMP on the Android app store. Give it a spin, lemme know what you think.

Dammit old man you almost made me cry. Hahaha this is such a far cry from the old unmod 'twas, families and warmth and repairing messed up relationships and genuine gooey emotional holiday shit... It's almost like we've grown up around here. Well done. Merry Christmas. :)

Holy shit Coop. Lemme get some coffee before I read your doctoral dissertation.

Great, thanks! I fell off the edge of the world when I met my girlfriend in 2008, got married, got divorced, realized I gave up every part of who I was for 12 years for that, met and got to know myself for 5 years, ended up back here as part of that! So just stuff. Listening to the entire back catalog on shuffle right now, about 650 mixes into 4800ish... Y'all been REAL busy while I was gone!

COOP! I was just asking about you in Disc yesterday lol how the hell are you old man?

I'll use my words, since no one else will! BACKED, Sam! I have pretty much all your stuff. Metroid Cinematica & Recharged, Chrono Cinematica, actually listened to Xeno Cross this week (I would also back a WHOLE-ASS 10 disc album of that idea BTW). But I've always adored the Mana soundtracks, especially Kikuta's SD2 and 3. I hope you get this off the ground, and I'm so looking forward to it!

Yeah my dude spits the truth. You can beat this game beginning to end in an hour, but I can think of 4 times in that hour that the experience just blew my hair back. I agree it's an experience, almost an art piece. For the love of all that is good and holy though, play this cranked on either your best cans or better yet a full sound system. Just turn it up. And then go buy the soundtrack on Bandcamp because if you're reading this at all you're the type of person who will want it and I felt a need to give the dev money somehow.

Wow David. 21 years I've been coming to slash lurking on this site. Downloaded every SINGLE mix posted on this site between mid-2003 and mid-2009; like Hu said above, OC ReMix was absolutely the soundtrack of my high school and college years. I bought my first MP3 player years before the iPod to store more mixes than a CD could hold. This site has always been home to some incredible artists, and oh the memories. I remember when Jillian Aversa was Jillian Goldin. I downloaded Shariq's first mix the night it was posted... I was floored by Relics of the Chozo, had it on repeat for weeks. I remember unMod and I was there when it shut down. Years and YEARS of reading the Coop's 'Twas' every Christmas lol... Good times and bad lurking about for 2 decades. But I want to say in no uncertain terms that I think you, David, personally, have done some incredible work to not only legitimize game music as the art form it is, but to create a place where hundreds could find like minded people to hone their craft with. Danny Baranowsky, Big Giant Circles, Brandon Strader, Joshua Morse, Andy and Jill... the list of folks composing or involved in audio engineering and games specifically goes on and on. Not that any of them wouldn't have been successful without what you created here, but you were responsible for planting the seed that began this amazing community. I'm still not a musician, doubt I ever will be. But from the moment I downloaded your very own 'Sunken Suite' in 2002 and heard what could be done by musicians who loved a song as much as I did? That changed my life David, in some small way, it really did. Thank you for that. Thank you for 24 years of sharing your best with us, thank you for what you've created and the legacy you've started. Here's to you, your family, your free time and your next mix. We'll be waiting for it. Cheers brother. :)

Yo can we talk about this though? https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/12/a_merry_hyrule_christmas_album_blends_zelda_classics_with_beloved_festive_carols

Those are cute! Woulda liked 'em for my wife anyhow. Meanwhile, in other news, I'm almost at the end of Mass Effect 2 for the first time, and you all did some BANGIN' work on that soundtrack. Not only that, I'm pretty sure it's one of, if not THE best paced/written game(s) of all time. Props!

Yeah... I mean I have NO musical skill and I could make a dubstep mix. The basics of it certainly aren't that complex, but if you take the time to really work with the song beyond LFO's and bass drops, amazing things can happen.

Just wondering what people round here think of dubstep. I've hear it referred to as "technicians, reproducing other people's sounds and amplifying the bass." True, most dubstep I've heard is a remix, and true, dubstep doesn't seem to have a ton of tools in its arsenal. Oscillators and bass drops. But this site is kind of about remixes anyway, isn't it? You might like it, you might not. But damn if it isn't the most amazing experience in the world to get blazed out of your mind and put it on your surround sound system. Anyway! Talk it up. How do you like it?

I know. Larry talked me into changing it in a moment of weakness.
