Album: Super Dodge Ball: Around the World

Ah. Whoa. I move that dodgeboobs be ocr's new logo!

A Ultima Carimbada has some wonderful melodies. The melody from 1:18 to 2:21 feels like... poetry? to me. It's so pleasant and seems to open up something nice inside. And the outro from 2:50 is particulary powerful.

I Lost My Balls in Moscow is officially the greatest name of any remix on site. Such a fun piece, too. Love that bite. :3

Doppelgaenger is rather pleasant, despite portraying a deadly fight of shadow rivals! Keen. I like the sort of trilling effect that comes in at 1:10 and goes in and out throughout.

Six Dodge Balls and a Lotus Flower. It could fit in a KOEI historical game. Very cool. Soothing, even. ^__^

Birmingham Beatdown makes the English... appear cool? How did you do that? We're not cool. It's a playful track with great drive.

Lightspeed. What a beat. Inspiring! And serious bizz-ness. ^-^ Also, the effect at 0:48 reminds me of 8 bit racing games. c: 2:24 to 2:51 is my favourite part.

Almost Frozen. A slightly scary track, despite using a lot of chill effects. Tense!

Friendly Fire kicks ass.

I thought Robbie didn't send "I Lost My Balls In Moscow" because the source was a Russian folk song anyway?

Oh yeah, there is that too.

Almost Frozen is gonna be the 5th Super Dodge Ball Around the World single. But will it be the last? Whatever happened with "Six Dodgeballs and a Lotus Flower" and "I Lost My Balls in Moscow"?

Six Dodge Balls was rejected and Lost My Balls was never submitted because that song was about 6 years old at the time the project came out. Robbie did try to revisit it but couldn't get much out of it, and had no interest in submitting a track that old. Almost Frozen will probably be the last track from the album released on OCR.

Hooray! It only took over a year...

Looks like Almost Frozen finally passed the panel. One of my faeeevorites from this solid, solid album.

Dodgeboobs are gone from the front page. It's the end of an era.

Any chance we'll be seeing a full album review from you, Eino?

Not sure if I have the time. I've been listening to the album a couple of times though, and I enjoy how it has consistency, not only in quality, but also a consistent energy throughout. There's a couple of tracks that are a little more mellow, but even they don't really let go of the high energy vibe. Could be exhausting, but it works.

I find the whole very listenable. Nice bonus tracks too.

Whose bright idea was it to use that cover art? Whoever it is, he must have been really in need of some poontang when that was created...

It was a drawn by Otakatt, who is a female. It was her idea. She sent it to me and I thought it would be hilarious if it went up on the front page of OCR. djp agreed. Now it is there, and it is glorious.

Seriously, it's hardly even sexual. It's just funny.

Interesting album. I'd never have thought that such awesome music would come from an NES sports game based on dodgeball!

Nice album ! Thanks

Only just d/l'd.

Wow.

So that's what you guys've been cooking up for years.

I have to applaud you guys. This album is not only great, but it's consistently great. Not one dud to be found. It's a very rare OCR album that pulls off that feat, but you guys did it.

You've set a new bar for quality and my hat is off to you.
