  ABOUT THE ALBUM

  When the internet literally had a sound, that of the screech and whine of a dial-up
  modem...

  ...we had OverClocked ReMix.

  Older than the smartphone, before TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Facebook,
  Myspace and LiveJournal...

  Before there was even Wikipedia, and when this thing called "Google" was on training
  wheels...

  ...one fateful December night, as the world looked towards the new millennium and
  fretted about the Y2K bug, djpretzel started uploading a few of his musical creations
  based on rearranging video game music into new forms. Since then, OverClocked ReMix
  has been at the forefront of video game music arrangement and has stayed as the
  premier location for this art form for a quarter of a century. Not only does it
  look forward to the future with the encouragement and growth of new artists, but
  always has an eye turned towards the past.

  As a venerable location for the creative arts, especially in regards to honoring
  and celebrating what would otherwise be considered transient music, the fact that
  OCR has lasted for so long and kept its esteemed position is testimony to its mission
  and the caliber of its artists keeping its flame burning.

  In January 2024, so as to celebrate the impending 25th Anniversary, the challenge
  was laid down to make an album that took the focus away from the old, though well-loved,
  stalwarts of OCR and focused instead on the VGM younger than the site, to rearrange
  the new classics and to make new discoveries. Those who signed up for the album
  and were older than the site were forbidden from submitting work primarily from
  a source pre-dating OCR.

  That''s not to say that the old classics haven''t made it onto here, because what''s
  a 25th birthday party without some greatest hits? So, in the spirit of reimagination,
  a few old classics have made it onto here primarily thanks to the work of the younger-than-OCR
  artist JSABlixer.

  A foreign time period of sources was set upon foreigners, to create a new nostalgia.
  A real TimeShift.

  As the album progressed in its short timeframe, I was particularly struck by the
  spirit of collaboration and support that has been the hallmark of the OCR community.
  Everyone lifted each other up and, through our sheer determination, we present to
  you our celebration album.

  This is OverClocked ReMix at 25 years of age. We were here.

  Whether you take this album as a mere mile-marker or the source of inspiration for
  the next great work, the arrangers and I hope you enjoy this selection of ReMixes.
  Here''s to the next 25 years!

  DIRECTOR''S NOTES

  I''ve long been a fan of OverClocked ReMix, discovering it back in the frontier
  days of the pre-social media web. As an artist, I''ve always been attracted to the
  post-modern paradigm of taking something and repurposing it: and here OCR does it
  with my favorite musical medium, that of the video game soundtrack. Despite my eagerness
  for the site''s mission, I long held myself back from taking part in its community
  out of fear that my music and my knowledge was far too inferior. This was much to
  my detriment when this community is about building each other up.

  Second to this, I''ve disciplined myself to listen to OCR''s entire catalog chronologically.
  For many years, my listening collection never went beyond the days of "classic"
  OCR, back when the mission of the site was still very experimental, the OCR album
  was rare, and each ReMix felt more definitive because its post-modern upcycling
  hadn''t been done until that point in time. As I write, I am only just reaching
  the halfway point through listening to the entire catalog.

  So, once I came out of my time capsule and took a more active part in the community,
  and armed with my knowledge of ReMixes of yore, I wanted to give something back
  to the artistic movement that continues to inspire me. In all honesty, the album
  idea of taking older ReMixers and getting them to ReMix VGM newer than the site,
  and vice-versa, was a shower thought. So when I put forward the idea of the album
  to the community, I quickly realized another tenet of OverClocked ReMix: own the
  idea and make it happen.

  The call went out and soon it was answered. Suddenly, I found myself directing an
  album, and it has been a learning process for me. I''ve seen myself more as a facilitator
  rather than a director, with fellow artists being the moderators for the album''s
  content. Ultimately though, decisions about the music must fall upon the person
  in charge. Knowing that it has been a race against time to try and make one of the
  site''s anniversaries has fueled much of the drive for the album. It''s not had
  the time to bake for years like some of the venerable, classic albums. The music
  is immediate and, in some cases, experimental.

  But that has been one of the great draws of OverClocked ReMix for me: the experimentation
  of the medium of video game music arrangement. I wanted to capture some of that
  nostalgic energy that underpins much of the older portions of the OCR catalog. And
  so, that''s why the album is split into three parts, each named after an old color
  of a previous iteration of the OCR website in tribute, and headed by one of JSABlixer''s
  ReMixes of an old classic. The honor of leading the album was given to our special
  guest artist, Mega Ran, and the album itself is bookended with a ReMix of a remix
  for a truly post-modern twist. Truly, it is my hope that in doing this I''ve been
  able to pay tribute to the continuum of the past quarter-century.

  It has been a great honor and privilege to direct this album. My thanks go to my
  fellow artists for their hard work on their submissions and support, to Chris Kohler
  for mastering the album, to the judges and sages for their guidance, to the community
  for their faith in me, and to you, the listener, for taking the time to celebrate
  with us OverClocked ReMix at 25 years.
