So what's on it? I can't read the label.

[Turbo D]

  I'd love to have that 

[Necromancer]

105% awesome. 

[SignOfZeta]

Its only awesome if the tunes on it are cool. I assume "Gate to Heaven - (DJ Fei Long X Beat Mix)" is on a CD somewhere. Does anyone have it?

[nat]

105% awesome. 

I wonder if it's 85% new?

[awack]

That is cool.

I wonder if it's 85% new?

when some one says that a game system is 85% new on ebay, does that mean its 15% used?

[offsidewing]

105% awesome. 

I wonder if it's 85% new?

HO-LEE SHIT.  I haven't been on the forum in 8 months and this joke has not died.

I love this forum.  More than I love my own children...

Actually, it did die 'bout 1 year ago, but it twinkles on in my heart. After Necromancer's comment, I couldn't resist. In an odd alignment of the stars, you just happened to pop up right after. That in itself is probably funnier than the joke itself.

This would only be cool if it were the actual soundtrack taken from the original masters (assuming they were better than 16-bit 44.1Khz audio).  I don't give a shit about some guy who calls himself DJ Feilong.

[SignOfZeta]

Well, its a 12" in a plain black sleeve. Its obviously for club use, hence the remix. Actual game music isn't very good for clubs most of the time.

I'd rather have the actual soundtrack on CD, and save the 12" for the remix, as is the normal practice with most music.

[Joe Redifer]

But how does one know the remixes are any good?  Tons upon tons of self-proclaimed "DJs" over at OC Remix are dogshit on a stick.  And DJ ≠ musician.  DJ = someone who plays records and sometimes scratches them back and forth as homies spin on da cardboard.

[SignOfZeta]

Well, in a real record store that caters to DJs you just listen to it before you buy it. Since this seems to be an official release, its probably somewhat OK, but its anyone's guess as to it being good or not.

Since I'm not hip to "DP", I don't know if these are for sale from a person on a forum or in an actual web store. Can I just buy this for $10 or what?

Either way if you think, "DJ = someone who plays records and sometimes scratches them back and forth as homies spin on da cardboard." then you are almost certainly not going to like this no matter what it sounds like. My guess is that it would fall into the "bad trance" genre knowing Japan and Konami and all that, but its anyone's guess.

EDIT: I found a review of the CD that has both of these tracks on it (or at least versions of them).

EDIT 2: This 12" seems to be 10 years old, so probably not easy to find. I just pirated the Fei Long thing. Its a sort of pidgin pastiche of different styles of house using some phased samples from...some game, not sure which one not being a huge Vampire fan. Basically I won't be seeking this record.

[offsidewing]

Yes indeed.  The last time fortune shined upon me like this was years ago when a buddy of mine told me about something called an 'iPod.'  4,000 shares of apple stock later...

For those of you scratching your head, and perhaps some vinyl, at 85% new, check out the link entitled "Wow..." in the Turbo Discussion section.  This was the best idea that never was.  Almost like your laser discs...
