They said they'd be releasing remixes of SC2's music periodically but it's been more than a week since the last remix. Two weeks per remix would take an eternity to finish them all, which makes me wonder how much they've really got done so far.

Just who the fsck do you think you are Shiver.
These people are doing the work for free, as a hobby, because they want to.
They dont have to conform to any release schedule just to please you.
If you want more remixes, go make some.

Feel the love. 
I think passing judgement on the remixes at this point is premature -- to me, they sound unfinished, most likely because (gasp!) they are. And even if you don't end up liking the final versions of the remixes, noone is forcing you to use them. They are but one of a multitude of options available to you.
If you've got constructive criticisms of the tunes, (and for the record, you do, re: vocal samples as bed music for a game with spoken dialog) by all means voice them, as many of the people on the remix team read the forums, and I'm sure appreciate the input; but for the love of all that is good, please try to be tactful about it. The fastest way to get on a musician's list of "people to kill" is to tell them that they suck.

*grins* heheh, dont i know that ^_^
i voiced my concern now since they ARE unfinished.. since when they are finished it would be alot harder to change them... i think... in anycase, i dont plan to use the remixes myself but that dosnt and shouldnt stop a person from giving some input...

My comments on the remixes:
1.Shofixty: should sound somewhat like Juno Reactor's Samurai and not as part of the 8 mile soundtrack.
2. Ilwrath: More ambience is in place, there's a part of the tune where it becomes ambient and stuff and you can actually imagine the evil spiders at work
3. Orbit: too much like the original, but good.
4. Take Saibuster's hyperspace mix for this project.
Praise Riku and Mark Vera
Eagerly waiting for another 'mix.
GOD:"Look mommy, I made light!"

I rather like the Ilwrath remix. I was indifferent to it at first ,but since then it's grown on me. My only real complaint is that it seems about 15 seconds too short. It just seems to need something else in there.
I liked the orbit remix, too. I think that one is just about perfect.
The Shofixti remix, though... ugh. The voices within would get annoying as had been stated and it just feels off. I likely won't be using that one, which is a pity since the original Shofixti music is one of my favorites.

Just who the fsck do you think you are Shiver. Blah blah blah...
Why, I'm fscking Shiver. And try using a fscking question mark, a fscking comma, and spell "fscking" right next time you ask a fscking question because typing like that doesn't make any fscking sense.
Ahem... you're missing the point. I asked this because the update with the Orbit Remix said that they had most of the remixes already done so I thought it was ridiculous that they would wait so long before releasing more. A moderator was nice enough to inform me that they had to fix around with the files somehow before releasing them which was the response I was searching for. So think before you go ballistic.

Spathi? What spathi? You're imagining, hunam.

Welp, since the new probe remix is out, this thread is getting a bump.
I actually like this one a whole lot. It strays distantly from the original..but then, the original wasn't exactly one of the standout pieces. I don't see how you could've not strayed from the original, and managed to remix it at all.
It does do the most important things, imo. It sticks to the spirit of the sylandro probes, doesn't completely eradicate the original theme of the tune....and it's melodic enough to not make me want to do anything possible to get out of the conversation. I swear, at times I blew up slyandro probes just to make that orignal song stop.
Gotta wonder though, if it will ever be fully appreciated in-game. While only 3 or so minutes long, most of the 'conversations' with the probes last about 10 seconds. Doesn't make for full appreciation of the tune. I reckon it will be a lot like Riku's orignal mycon music - that piece was extremely well done, but it was long, and most of the conversations with the mycon were very short. Wasn't until long after I finished SC2 that I found out just how much there was to that selection.

Even though the new "remix" of the Slylandro Probe "music" doesn't really have any connection to the original other than the phrase "We come in peace." (correct response: "Then you go in pieces!") both forwards and backwards, it's a well made, funky drum and bass sort of thing. The question is really "Does it fit the probes?", and I'd say the answer is a yes. We are talking broken but very high tech atmosphere here. The sort of low-key unemotional determination a Melnorme 2418-B would have, right there in the relentless beat.
It's a bit too early to tell, but I think the "final" remixes seem to be a lot more thought out and polished than the previews released earlier. Keep up the good work, guys. Now, if only I could convince those pesky probes to talk to me a bit longer without executing a "priority override". I hate debugging programs that fail unsafely. Cripes, you'd think that an advanced civilisation like the Melnorme would have heard about failsafes.
