Fear not, hearty OCR-goers - while it's been slow the past two weeks and posting will probably remain slowish for the next couple weeks, we're definitely still here, alive, and kickin'. We recently experienced a server upgrade to the latest version of PHP from a few versions back, which went smoothly, and the future holds some interesting possibilities. But enough of that - the core of the site has always been and will always be the music, and Gecko Yamori's been waiting for something of his to be posted for awhile now. This Streets of Rage ReMix features a late 70's / early 80's disco electrogroove with a robotic drum-machine beat, overpowering and deep synth bass, some tasty brass hits, an initially static-laden, atmospheric electric piano, some wah-guitar hits, and about halfway through a very slick, reverbed violin motif and moving synth pattern. If there's a downside, it's that the last third doesn't really introduce any new musical constructs but instead sorta summarizes the first two thirds by switching off a bit, then ending on a delayed synth bit. This is a good meat-and-potatoes mix that doesn't try for anything too fancy but gets what it is trying to do right - the sound is sort of between eras, with elements of 70's and 80's genres, and works well with Yuzo's style. Good, solid stuff from Gecko, very enjoyable to listen to and not abrasive or boring. Kudos.

This track is definitive proof that a basic sound set is no obstacle to a fantastic arrangement when used tastefully and executed with aplomb. Superb bridge trippin’!

Used to listen to this one constantly. Just a classic. Love the filtered lead and that iconic string. A personal favorite.

The drumline to start is kinda dating; the ReMix is GM-y, perhaps, but it's done well. The string line in the middle is imo the best portion of this, as well as that driving bassline; such presence in the deep. The end evokes imagery of the sun setting over the bridge for me...

I wasn't into Streets of Rage back in 2003, so that's probably why I missed this back then. Glad I joined the Review Bomb event and found so many gems (this one included). This really takes me back to the early 00's from all the samples or libraries Gecko used. Amazing and nostalgic stuff!

Not me casually walking across a bridge to this fat bassline, no sir. Definitely tied my shoes nice and tight before the transitions knocked me off my socks. 10/10, would groove again.

Mostly a sound upgrade with a few flourishes and some additional personalization, I really loved the warm piano with the record crackle effect, and throughout, the soundscape keeps changing, but always sounds cohesive, due to that bass and drums. Even the solo violin sounded decent.
A pretty groovin track, even though the drums are pretty mechanical.
This mix has held up pretty well, and is a good listen.

Conservative arrangement, too conservative in the big scheme of things in terms of being a slave to the original's structure, but definitely well personalized for the time. I was always a big fan of the original, and Dan did a nice job spicing it up.

Ahhh my favourite theme from SoR enhanced by the ever reliable G.Yamori. Gecko this is yet another fine piece of ReMixing. Love the bass, the beat, the groovy 80's style intro but the piano leading up to the beautiful violin has my full compliments. Solid, sound work from Gecko.

Groooove. The violin is most certainly my favorite part, but the too-bright piano is nice and I adore the crunchy static background. Of course, love the bass and the wah, the drums so go with it. Good stuffs.

OHHHH MY... this is a pieeeece of cake! very well arranged and near the original and love the original one, the piano, violin, backgrounds, special effects is very perfect and I can say after the first minute things started!! and all the others seems too good for me. thanx for your perfect new remix.
but there is one thing I didn't like the piano was too loud, seems like middle frequencies, I don't know maybe Gecko Yamori wanted it like that to deliver a special feel, anyway Gecko Yamori you did a great job I waiting for you next Remix

Yeah, great tune man. The groove is there, the vibe is swingin', and the bass is kicking.
on 2003-06-12 21:43:56
Great sounds and stuff, not much else i can say... Nicely done, recommended, wish i had more cd's to put these songs on.. *sigh*

I love this. I don't know why, but especially at 1:47. The synth rocks there.
on 2003-06-11 02:24:30
Great work. I honestly thought about passing this one up. I'm glad I didnt because I really enjoy the different style applied to this peice. It really touched down on familiar roots but yet kept a certain new-ness to it thats hard to explain. Definately give this one a listen to
