BTW, before the Chocobo precedent is decided...eligible, or no? It's from FF VI - Special Tracks, which I just found out about today due to the Mayn Event contest. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

C'mon, have you guys even listened to the track? It gets pretty good after 1:38.
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
It's from Final Fantasy. This is almost ridiculous to me. FELIPE NO

So was CHz's MintJam nom.
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Anything from Final Fantasy is too well known. Before you know it, we'll be having theme weeks with 7 Chocobo remixes and the theme from The Super Mario Bros Super Show.
How ya doing, buddy? |
EDIT: No this time I JUST noticed I swear There's nowhere I can't reach.

I was speaking idiomatically. |
I'm going to repeat this here:
I get the sense that this is all a roundabout attempt at invalidating CHz's MintJam nomination. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

No, I actually like this arrangement. I just wanted to get this one in before the vote was officially closed.
Also, your Metroid example isn't very good, because it's pretty much a MIDI rip with different instruments. The Special Tracks Chocobo arrangement has an entirely different style. FELIPE NO |

Oh wow, this reply is going to be buckets of fun.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe. THAT SAID
Besides, the Troian Beauty remix is better. Jam it back in, in the dark. |

I myself listened to the song in question, and thought it was a HORRID remix. At the same time, I enjoyed the song itself. Now, I could understand the lack of enjoyment of a remix because it wasn't faithful to the original tune (One of the main reasons I don't like OCRemix, or the remixing community as a whole). However, in SotW, judging based on faithfulness of the original is just plain unfair, since some songs (most) are original. I'm not saying I want to see this new Chocobo song in (but after listening, I honestly wouldn't mind [Okay I AM saying]), it's just that I couldn't find the point of that post.

Darkcomet, I didn't actually listen to the FF VI remix. I was simply saying that it's either a track that sounds very familiar because it's another variation on the Chocobo theme, or it's a track that is different enough to stand on its own because it doesn't sound lke the theme much at all.
In the first case, it's too familiar, even if it contains different instrumentation. In the latter case, if it sounds so little like the original, it has no business being called a remix.
Obscurity matters, in both the original source and the notoriety of the arrangement. If someone took a very underrated track from FFVI and arranged that, then it might stand a chance. Maybe. Probably not, but just maybe. However, when you consider that the chocobo theme has been heard and variated through so many different FF games, another arrangement is really a drop in the bucket. I used the Metroid arrangement as an example because it's a good demonstration of how a track's obscurity sometimes cannot overcome the melody's familiarity when eligibility is concerned. Obscure or not, 90% of listeners will recognize it as the Brinstar music. Seeing as that theme is well-known enough to have been remixed for use in Smash Bros., I'd say it's not obscure, even in arranged form. This is basically how I also feel about the FFVI track. I was speaking idiomatically. |
Can we get Dshu to start nominate some undeniably obscure tracks?
IT IS A CHALLENGE. How ya doing, buddy?

I meant that your example was inappropriate, not that the track was bad. The Brinstar track is barely different from the original, while I think the Chocobo arrangement is relatively unique, including different notes and chord progressions as opposed to merely a change in instrumentation. I saw a lot of people in the poll thread advocating a system where the difference of the arrangement is taken into account in the case that the source is fairly familiar.
And Kaleb, it's not my fault you guys change the rules every time I nominate. :P P.S. Can we get to people start spelling my forum name correctly? IT IS A CHALLENGE. FELIPE NO

Perhaps a source can be too familiar?
I believe that's the crux of the whole debate here. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
And actually, since we've banned film and anime music in Nomination rule 4, we should probably ban TV music too.
And besides, it's true. Ask Larry. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
