If someone else wants to direct such an album, I'd give my full blessings - such posts make it tempting to start such a project, but I think the allure of doing other game soundtracks grips me more.

That'd be nice, I already made a Flame Mammoth w.i.p

Maverick Rising also missed most of the boss themes, so there is material for a sequel!

Here's a little random tidbit - the name of the album Maverick Rising came out of me recalling the Judas Priest song [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jazmdoxlpY"]Judas Rising[/URL], and just the thought of a maverick assault rampaging through made Maverick Rising such a natural name to me.


As a testament to how great Maverick Rising was (everything I'd hoped for, but I can't judge it in comparison to the public hype), I came up with another pipe dream... a Maverick Rising volume 2 that includes, but is far from limited to, ReMixes of Launch Octopus, Flame Mammoth, Wire Sponge, Toxic Seahorse, Volt Catfish, Web Spider, Storm Owl, Split Mushroom, Jet Stingray, and Magma Dragoon. The project would require all of those 10 Mavericks to be ReMixed in either 1 or 2 tracks, with free selection amongst the other tracks, with not yet ReMixed pieces encouraged, and a total of 3 discs (30 to 45 tracks) if a 4th disc would make things too difficult.

Oh, my, god, Iron Will March, is so amazing.

This is easily my favorite OCR album (though I do have significant bias, Mega Man X is my all-time favorite series). So many good songs and a few tracks that are unexpectedly awesome despite my dislike of some source tracks.

An insane soundtrack, with awesome sounds. Well done! But there is enough here to keep even old fans busy with playlists. =D Nice

"@BahamutWC I really enjoyed it."
Right there is the composer to Megaman X3 as well as a few other games approving of this album, you can't do much better then that.

Hmmm, It didn't feel as good to me as most of the other albums on this site to me. It felt almost empty on some of it for me, even. I don't know why. There are some great tracks on it, though. I look forward to the next album.

Congratulations guys on a staggeringly awesome album.
This album took me 2 days to listen to due to so many songs.
First of all i gotta agree with kyle below about Cyril the wolf in crushing gravity, dude i gotta say when i heard that scream, it blew me out of my chair, i was stunned, well done sir.
There's many great songs from this album but the greatest thing about this album is that it includes remixers who don't seem to have any posted remixes on OCR, such as BONKERS, ergosonic and M-H who i know from DoD, as well as those who seem to be newcomers such as washudoll, krow, brandon snell and devastus.
As for the use of soundclips, i personally feel they add to the songs
This albums greatest achievement however is bringing the plaid muffins back together, guys you don't realize how additive that song is, i end up randomly singing it at work.
All in all a great album all round, so great that it makes me want to go through the entire series, to experience it myself, and to me that is a mark of a truly inspiring remix album.

If there's one thing I can say about A Flea and His Giant, it's this: DAT DRIVING BASSLINE. That song is so fucking awesome. Wish I discovered this guy earlier.
This album has a lot of rock songs, and I love that! This is definitely one of my favorite albums on OCRemix

With that said I have a question about Disc 3 track 5, Bullet Fists of Lightning Fury by Ergosonic. The two source tracks mentioned are Spark Mandrill Stage and Boss 1, however the start of the song is Stage Start this is mentioned on the website but different on the tags and file name. Is it both or just a mistake?
Anyways slowly making my way through and liking what I hear. Thanks for the music.

Don't like it, don't listen to it.
There are 3 songs that use Iris Voice clips.
Big deal.

Ah yes, you're correct - vgmdb actually used to call it Boss Intro instead of Stage Select. I was going somewhat by memory.
