Shouts
The SIE shouts:
The high squicky sounds are hurting my ears and for me they work distracting, but besides that I do like this version of the outrun saga remixes. Thats why I still thinks it deserves a Yellow one. Well done..
migu shouts:
Captures the Sega feeling and reminds a bit of modern Sega games' music style.
Mordi shouts:
Energetic and nice - the drums sound good. It's a good arrangement. Sounds very wide. Although I feel like it's been done before.
chilli_uk shouts:
A nice take, squeeky but bloody fun. Not for all tastes but I Like it. Nice work
mfe shouts:
Flimsy instruments really detract from what is otherwise a nifty take on this song. Takes me back to my Megadrive days.
Gungung! shouts:
This feels really 70ies disco like. Very well chosen synths. Red one! Brilliant!!
LaLa shouts:
Gret remix in the original SEGA style with a dash of 70s disco feeling thrown in for good measure. The lead's high pitch is a bit annoying, though.
Foxfield shouts:
I bet the composer had something like this in mind when he was building the tune, before he had to bring the s**t down to just 3 simultaneous voices with beeping sounds. Pays respect to the original and gave me the vibes I did playing the game.
infamous shouts:
Used to really like Rexy's stuff from the old vgmix/ocr day's and nothing has changed (im assuming its the same rexy anyway by the quality of the sounds).. Anyway yeah this is a lovely little laidback well produced and interesting remix
Jojje70 shouts:
After a few more listens I feel this one deserves at least a yellow. Has a nice Sega feeling and some great ideas, still not fond of the pitch bending though. But overall a good remix.
zine shouts:
Great nostalgic impression, one of the best OR mix
Zilog shouts:
So happy'n'fresh tune!!!!
exocytosis shouts:
A faced paced master piece that cuts no corners!

Overall rating

Of the dozen, or so, Out Run covers that currently sit on Remix64/Kwed.org, Rexy's take is one of the most fast paced, up-beat and technically balanced versions out there. True to its original, Out Run (Pool Party) flies over the slopes in a way that almost makes you feel the wind pressing against your face. It's a five minute long speed fest in the higher octaves with a few technical surprises that should make any true Out Run fan clap their hands with joy!
