Linger by The Cranberries, in a low-rez, GB-adjacent style.

The Cranberries - Linger - LowRezGB Version

A low fi, low rez, slower take on a classic.

Daft Punk - Something About Us - SlowRez Mix

Final Fantasy IV - Troian Beauty - Shift Mix

A rebuild and remix of the Cyber Sled "Entry" track- some really catchy synth action that snagged your ears and dragged your butt into the seats.

Cyber Sled - Entry (Overlord's Arcade Mix)

A rebuild and mix of the fantastic "Devil's Factory" / "Magitek Factory" from FF6. Uematsu be praised! Also, took me forever to find the anvil clanking effect...

Final Fantasy VI - The Magitek Factory (Overlord's Mix)

Slow and dramatic version of the Port City track theme from F-Zero. I tried to add some size to the original, as if Captain Falcon was walking onto the track for the first time.

F-Zero - Port City (Overlord's Orchestra Mix)

My humble orchestrated version of Hitoshi Sakimoto's brilliant "Decisive Battle" from Final Fantasy Tactics.

Final Fantasy Tactics - Decisive Battle (Overlord's Orchestrated Mix)

An 8-Bit rendition of a favorite track from FF7- played at the entrance to caves, outside Corel Town, and sometimes around Aeris. Dunno why I went 8-bit on this one...

Final Fantasy VII - Holding My Thoughts In My Heart (Overlord's 8-Bit Mix)

From one of my FAVORITE GAMES OF ALL TIME- Area 88/UN Squadron. Same as before, imagined what this might sound like in 1973- the rock organ and guitar combo just seems to speak to me here...

Area 88 - The Enemy Air Force (Overlord's Rocky Mix)

From my own portfolio- this is the theme of Kestra, an academic city home to the planet's prime observatory.

Gateways OST - Kestra City Square

From my own portfolio- A remixed battle theme.

Gateways OST - The Vicious (Vers. 2)

That's right, I made an **OOMPAH VERSION** of this amazing track. It works really well and I don't know quite why....

Final Fantasy Tactics - Tutorial (Overlord's Oompah Mix)

A rebuild and remix of the classic track from JSF. Went a little trance-echoey on this one...

Jet Set Radio - Electric Tooth Brush (Overlord's Echo Mix)

An experiment in more authentic PSX sounds mixed with modern sampling banks. Have you played these? They are AMAZING GAMES.

Lunar 2: Eternal Blue - Justice - Leo's Theme (Overlord's Hero Mix)

An experiment in progress... Something was up with my final render of the track and I got a ton of clipping and artifacts for some reason. I am going to render each track and instrument separately and then recombine in an audio editor. 

Will rebuild and upload a new version soon.

[FIX PENDING] - Final Fantasy Tactics - Ending Theme & Flourish

The haunting "Apple of Enlightenment" from Earthbound/Mother 2- I imagined Ness and his friends looking at the unholy machine deep underground in the distant past, with Giygas embedded in its evil heart.

What vision would the machine show to Ness and his friends, if Giygas was not there? Is the machine itself evil, or does it simply amplify the wickedness or the goodness in the heart of its user?

Earthbound - The Apple of Enlightenment (Dreamtime Mix)

A quick version of Mitsuda-sans' "lost" track from CT. I always imagined this hauntingly beautiful and melancholy track playing as Crono and the heroes look out over the ruined future...

Chrono Trigger - Scattering Blossoms (Overlord's Hidden Mix)

UPDATED VERSION HERE: https://soundcloud.com/otakuoverlord/sonic-cd-sonic-boom-blues-mix-v2
One of the catchiest songs ever written, in a little more R&B style. I sort of imagined what the Blues Brothers would sound like covering this track...

Sonic CD - Sonic Boom! (Overlord's Blues Bros. Remix) * SEE NOTE

My orchestral remix of the CT Intro, from scratch. I spent way too much time on this one...

Chrono Trigger - Intro (Overlord's Orchestral Mix)

A much harder remix of the Super Bomberman 5 Zone 1 theme.

Super Bomberman 5 - Zone 1 (Overlord's Metal Driven Remix)

A funky mallet-heavy remix of a really catchy track from yet another Konami classic. TURTLE POWER!

TMNT4 Turtles in Time - Starbase ~Where No Turtle Has Gone Before (Overlord's Mallet Mix)

Chrono Trigger - World Revolution (Overlord's Overtechnology Mix)

Just something I was playing around with today, probably could use some more work, but I sort of like how it turned out.

Donkey Kong Country 2 - Stickerbrush Symphony (Overlord's Synthy Mix)

Playing around with woods and strings, and this came to mind.

Startropics - Action! (Overlord's Woody Strings Mix)

I imagined what the original X-Com might sound like today if it was more like Mass Effect or Call of Duty... Your squad of underequipped soldiers is pinned down in a half-ruined skyscraper during an alien attack. It's turning into a desperate firefight against a superior alien aggressor. You can't win this one- there are dozens of UFOs on the ground and probably hundreds of aliens you can't even see. You've exactly one chance to make it out alive before HQ activates the nuclear option.

X-Com (Classic) - Geoscape (Overlord's Combat Mix)

A more laid back version of the Keen 6 overworld theme.

Commander Keen VI - Aliens Ate My Babysitter - Aliens Ate My Babysitter (Overlord's Mellow Mix)

Bagpipes, harp, some light strings. Nowhere near as good as the Celtic Moon collection, but hey, I gave it a shot.

Final Fantasy IV - Troian Beauty (Overlord's Highland Mix)

The opening stage of Axelay, interpreted as something you might hear from a high-end, late 80s arcade cabinet. 

Axelay - Unkai (Overlord's Vintage Mix)

Playing around with the incredibly catchy first level of The Last Ninja...

The Last Ninja - Level 1 (Overlord's Play Mix)

Imagined what the final dungeon theme might sound like if the game had been made for something like a Game Boy or a more advanced NES. Something with a few basic sound channels and one polysynth channel, maybe? Audio levels are not perfect, but I think it gets the point across.

Final Fantasy VII - Judgement Day (Final Dungeon) GAMEBOY/NES DEMO VER

Another stab at Sonic Boom, in an R&B/Blues style.

Sonic CD - Sonic Boom! Blues Mix v2

No love for Tifa these days, thought I'd put together a remix of her theme from FF7- all electric pianos.

Final Fantasy VII - My Seventh Heaven (Tifa's Theme)

Something.... interesting. No idea why I did this, but all the synth and orchestra and taikos came together and made something magical.

Final Fantasy VII - Wutai (Materia Mix)

Something I started playing around with when Chris Cornell passed... a funkier, electronic take on Burden in My Hand, as if it had been written on an early 90s Amiga or synth workstation, intended for a game or something? I dunno. It exists now. Here. Play it.

Hope you like it. Feedback welcome.

Soundgarden - Burden In My Hand - Synthetic Mix

Something I was playing around with... What if Dirty Laundry was played by somebody's C64 demoscene disk?

Don Henley - Dirty Laundry - Commodore 64 FAKE NEWS Mix

What you're hearing is the shit I'm throwing at the wall and hoping sticks. This is all generated using a Casio WK-crap, Oxygen 25, FL Studio 10, Kontakt 3, Philharmonik, Orchestral, and GoldWave. 

Please give feedback! I'd love to hear what works and what doesn't. I've been dabbling since 1994, but only bothered to start posting recently,

Thanks for listening!
