OverClocked ReMix – Unofficial Game Music Arrangement Community

If you have spent a portion of your life playing video games you have come to love (and to hate) certain portions of the music associated with those games.  If you are as old as I am, it may been a couple of decades or more since you have heard the music from some of the games you used to play for hours.

Now fast forward to today, you probably have to work, whether it be school work, or office type stuff and as you work you probably have the chace, or the need, to listen to music while you work.  Enter Overclocked remix.  Many dedicated fanboys have taken some of those classic themes and music from games and remixed them.  It is like a walk down memory lane if you played that game, but it is also new, fresh and compellingly upbeat (for the most part).  It keeps me going while I work and read and even when I surf.  Because they have very little, if any, lyrical content there is no distraction in listening to them if you are also working on other projects.

So what are you waiting for, get over there and check it out!
