Mega Man Zero 2 - Ice Brain (YM2612 Cover)

[@bryal7811]

Would LOVE to see more MMZ covers. The YM2612 could really do some justice to songs that the GBA couldn't

[@MastaGambit]

I don't like advertising myself on someone else's videos, but I've actually started covering some MMZ tracks using instruments from Sonic 3, over on my SoundCloud. (profile name is same as my KZbin name). Of course it ain't much compared to what Gecko/SR can pump out, but it's something. :'D

[@VertexTuner]

I keep coming back to this, easily one of the best YM2612 - SN76489 engineered compositions. Your mastery of the chips and their quirks are a sight to behold. I love how your covers even use limited size samples for the PCM and don't go overboard like some people do, such as the fantastic Better Off Alone cover which uses high quality PCM samples the system could handle, but would never have appeared due to the sheer size of the file. There's a noticeable crunch to your drum and base samples I appreciate for the authenticity. Outstanding work. I would LOVE to see what you'd be capable of manipulating the YMF292 chip into producing within the confines of a 512kb ram pool.

[@DuoDynamo]

This remix is simply masterful. There's that fine tastefulness to it that doesn't come around often. As expected of Savaged Regime.

[@Himecuts]

Amazing arrangement! The part at 0:55 gives me strong MM8 vibes, I love it haha

[@KaiTheLegend]

SAME

[@giovanniprovost]

If he did MM8 tracks i'd have a happy stroke good gawd it'd be legit

[@CaptainVulcan]

This entire arrangement gives off a mix of MM8 and Contra: Hard Corps vibes, overall. Absolute banger!

[@NerfPlayeR135]

I first heard this song in Dr. Robotnik's Ring Racers (it's used for Technology Tundra). Instant favorite.

[@DeconTheed92]

This whole arrangement is solid gold, natch, but I’m particularly impressed with your recreation of the little synth loop at the beginning; it’s damn near spot-on to the original sample (which is itself one of my favourite well-rinsed sample pack loops). Good show, SR~ ✌️

[@HaveYouTriedGuillotines]

What sample library does it come from?

[@DeconTheed92]

GravianS If I remember right, it comes from Methods of Mayhem: Industrial Toolkit (which is *very* widely used in VGM).

[@HaveYouTriedGuillotines]

@@DeconTheed92 Hm... I might have to look into it then. Seems the Prodigy made some use of it, too. Not surprising. I've found a whole bunch of samples from different games in the old Datafile CDs, not to mention all the rave stabs and other dance noises from all over the place.

[@TechBlade9000]

I was literally just playing Zero 2 yesterday

[@EvilCoffeeInc]

I can't stop listening to this. The nuance to some of these sounds is so technically impressive, especially that bit at the start. It's awesome to hear FM synthesis being used to its fullest potential.

[@PCFROMVCS]

I love the percussion in this one. The drums are emphasised way more than the original and sounds like I'm in a shady nightclub from Batman Beyond

[@leandronc]

Man, you're fusing my 2 favorite consoles and making me so happy. Thanks for this.

[@arcane0nex122]

i'm not familiar with this tune, but sounds amazing and clean.

[@MegamanStarforce2010]

listen to the original Ice Brain too, it's fantastic

[@blues03]

Someone needs to acquaint themselves with the Zero/ZX series.

[@jonathant2761]

Same

[@RT55J]

always nice to hear GBA songs on hardware better than a tin can on a string

[@rudeboyspodcast]

Shout outs to the Zero and ZX remastared soundtracks. If you haven't, go listen to them ASAP.

[@HaveYouTriedGuillotines]

Sega Genesis synth is ｃｒｕｎｃｈｙ

[@FlergerBergitydersh]

YEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Thank you, Zero/ZX collection, for bringing attention to these underrated tunes! And Thank you, Regime, for making such an awesome cover!

[@modeseven8100]

MMZ2 is like my favourite MM game and OST, thank you for this~! Getting inspired to cover Passionate in FM

[@neothunderx]

You absolutely should

[@GLXY23]

Hope you do it

[@ddduv]

OH THE INTRO IS SO FREAKIN AWESOME!!!

I'm a simple man, I see Savage Regime's video. I click. Also fan of MMZero's music.

[@MegaDriveProfile]

Tight

[@MegaMacTV]

Stellar rendition. One of my favs from Zero 2 and married to the YM2612 makes it really sing.

[@polknolastmane9352]

Been Listening to this for years and will never stop

[@trippy9865]

I never thought I'd see the day I'd see a remix for this track. My day has been made 100 times better.

[@GaliMercury]

You took one of the dearest games of my childhood and made it sound better. You are incredible.

[@masterlee1988]

Yeah I even like this version better than the original.

[@deprecated8036]

I literally just got Mega Man Zero 2 on my phone yesterday and the game is really cool! I call this a coincidence

[@robertlupa8273]

How can you play Mega Man Zero 2 on a phone? Heck, how can you play ANY Mega Man game of a phone? It's not a matter of 'how is it possible', it's about 'how can you play such a game on a phone, it'd be ridiculously hard'.

[@MastaGambit]

@@robertlupa8273 gotta hook up some sort of controller lol

[@isoito5927]

get the collection damn it

[@deprecated8036]

@@isoito5927 I said I can't afford it, so I my best option is to get old roms on the GBA and play it. I can get the collection on the DS, but I like the GBA more

[@deprecated8036]

@@robertlupa8273 I use Retroarch for Android. Retroarch is a frontend emulation app. I have an Samsung s10e so I can play on every emulator with very little to no lag. I beat Mega Man X, X2, X3, X4, X5, Zero, Sonic 3 and Knuckles, Metal Slug, Metal Slug X, Earthbound, Mother 3, Pokemon Yellow on my phone with a PS4 controller.

[@darthixion957]

You oughta consider releasing compilations of your Genesis/YM2612 covers. I'd definitely buy 'em.

[@Pan_Z]

Isn't there legal complications selling covers of others' songs without permission?

[@dredahalomaster1]

Oh god I can already hear the sweet sound of Aegis Volcano Base

[@rudeboyspodcast]

Was JUST playing Zero 2 again yesterday. Brilliant timing, my dude! The bass sounds absolutely delicious, and I'm glad the little computer synths come through as well!

[@NoahNCopeland]

Excellent work as always!

[@sixteenbitter]

Incredible work!

[@BedrothVGM]

Very nice cover. Good use of the YM sounds!

[@AquariusCaMousse]

Just as I was jamming to the arranged version \o/ Sick rendition, gotta love these sweet drums! And the rest is just so clean as well. Real good job there.

[@supermariobro93]

Wow, you really nailed that cover! Even right down to that intro synth! 😁👍 I’m very curious to hear “Departure” with your FM+PSG magic!

[@Qsmashbro]

Favorite song out of Z2. Great as always.

[@yosho43]

I love your work

[@neothunderx]

Fuck yeah dude, on the hype with collection release! Keep em coming, shit! I'd love to hear any song you do from this series, of course like crash 1 or 2, but honestly I think if want fighting fefnirs stage from mmz2.

[@Namworth]

This is my favorite song out of the Zero series. And you knocked it out of the park! Well done!

[@sebastienretrogaming4051]

Again a great cover and superb rendition ! You are the best.

[@Gael32]

Hell yeah! Somehow I didn't get notified about this upload? It was in my recommended videos and I thought the time said 9 months ago instead of 9 hours, lol. I'm late, but just in time to get my YM2612 perfection fix!

[@ryzmaker11]

I don't know about the original tune yet but some crazy sounds have been crafted here. Awesome job man!

[@LyritZian]

God *damn,* nice job! Underrated song done justice.

[@azure7635]

My favorite of the mega man zero levels. Nicely done 👍

[@getter7seven]

Cool stuff

[@Poin7less]

the best remix of ice brain

[@blara2401]

It's a terrifying feeling, really, sitting their with a stupid smile and a partly agape mouth with hand slowly sliding the cursor, as if magnetized to the Like button. Please don't stop being amazing.

[@drewmaster10]

Awesome cover, man.

[@Matthew_Singer]

So beautiful

[@gildedlink]

this is fucking fantastic and absolutely makes me feel like the megadrive would've been the best platform for this song.

[@aceofdatabase]

Listening to this every day now. :p

[@tylerwerrin41]

awesome

[@Yuushz80]

The PSG track fits soooooooooooooooooo well *-*

[@LaySuperMarioLover]

This sounds awesome! It would be really fitting for an opening title theme of a video game! It tells you ''There's something bad happening and we are gonna do something about it! Let's go on an adventure!''

[@Cam3mix]

This reminded me to check out more of the gems in the MMZ series' soundtracks. But I daresay I love your arrangement more. Another banger, fam!!!

[@MirWasTaken]

Very good.

[@woobinthescrub]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@ninjacat230]

when I heard this in Ring Racers, I flipped

[@dorianmoreno5517]

Had this on my playlist for a long Time, gotta say that it's amazing. (3 years at the momment i am writing this comment)

[@ericjp2000]

On my quest to get 100% completion in some of the games on the Zero/ZX Legacy Collection, (I say some, becuase screw most of the minigames, and Zero 1's horrible E Crystal grinding) I heard this song a LOT, I also rediscovered some bangers, as it has been some years since I played the Zero series, I would love to hear the theme for Pegasolta Eclair's stage get "Megadrived" (I'm from the US, but "Genesised" dosen't quite roll off the tongue)

[@beautifulrust1]

Tasty.

[@dynastesgigas6996]

This is solid gold. Any chance at getting more YM2612 covers from the MMZ/MMZX series? In the Wind (Floating Ruins), Mountain Rider (Area B), Wonder Panorama, Snake Eyes, Destiny (MMZXA), and most tracks from MMZ would be awesome to hear you work your magic with.

[@Matthew_Singer]

So good

Sooo goood shadow dancer plz ç.ç

BEAST.

[@tokyobassist]

I just asking my buddy going through the Legacy Collection if he's heard this slap yet lol. Zero 2 is legit one of my favorite Rockman OSTs. Please cover Passionate. It needs blast processing!

[@emmanueloverrated]

You're making instruments sound I didn't know YM2612 was able to generate the way you're using it... flabbergasted.

[@ashkirby8896]

Nice cover!😄🤩😎👌

[@davidspyro]

Nicely done Regime,Im glad you are still making these Genesis/Snes covers,I hope you start to 8-bit covers as well.

[@kilizero1979]

FREEZING LOVE

[@dredahalomaster1]

You should do more MMZ tracks, they go great with the Genises

[@rattango9819]

If you have more megaman content I would subscribe but I'll just keep an eye on the channel for now. Megaman zero, zx, and to a certain extent starforce has some bops. I hope you can cover them as well.

[@keeperofbucket4537]

I was wondering what you use to make these? I'm more familiar with doing SNES covers of songs but lately I've been really into Genesis music your stuff is really good btw

[@GenoBlast1717]

Subing for sure, Hoping you'll do some Phantasy star 4 ;)

That intro synth is impossible. I love the sound of this though
