Chimpazilla's Comments:
As our first collaboration (Cloudhopping) turned out wonderful, it's time for a second collaboration with Timaeus! This time we decided to go a little darker, into the creepy world of Plants vs. Zombies. We wanted a lot of variation in styles, moods and sounds throughout the song, and it was easy to fill up the remix with source due to the complex melodies of the tunes in the OST. Timaeus's dubstep breakdown with the "bungee scream" gives me chills every time I hear it. Thanks to Laura Shigihara for writing such a fun soundtrack for a great game. I still can't believe no one has remixed this game yet! djp, we hope you are happy that someone finally accepted your challenge of doing a remix for Plants vs. Zombies! About time, eh?

Timaeus's Comments:
This was by far the most complicated remix I've ever worked on with anyone, and I've never given so much attention to detail to one remix before. There ended up to be a whole bunch of drum samples, automations, and unique sound patches including a few of my own. If I had to pick a favorite sound, it would probably be that 12-string sitar patch Howard Scarr made for Zebra. This remix drew a little inspiration from zircon, Sole Signal, and Ben Briggs. Now, since this might actually be the first Plants vs. Zombies remix ever shared with OC ReMix, I figured it would be nice to include a quick little source breakdown (not NEARLY as precise as the last one):

0:00 - 0:04.5 = Original
0:04.5 - 0:09 = Watery Graves (0:00 - 0:02.5)
0:09 - 0:25 = Watery Graves (0:00 - 0:18.5)
0:25 - 0:38.5 = Loonboon (0:00 - 0:05.5)
0:38.5 - 0:45 = Watery Graves (1:03.5 - 1:05.5)
0:45 - 1:03 = Loonboon (0:12 - 0:25)
1:03 - 1:21.5 = Watery Graves (0:18.5 - 0:27.5 [The backup instrument])
1:21.5 - 1:39.5 = Watery Graves (0:27.5 - 1:03.5)
1:39.5 - 1:53 [Such a fun solo] = Loonboon (0:49 - 1:11.5)
1:53 - 1:57.7 = Loonboon (0:23.75 - 0:25.25)
1:57.7 - 2:15.25 [Havin' too much fun here] = Watery Graves (0:00 - 0:18.5)
2:15.25 - 2:33.93 = Watery Graves (1:03.5 - 1:21)
2:33.93 - 2:52 = Watery Graves (0:27.5 - 1:03.5)
2:52 - 3:10.2 [glitchy goodness] = Watery Graves (1:23.3 - 1:41.3)
3:10.20 - 3:28.25 = Loonboon (1:22.2 - 1:46.5)
3:28.25 - 3:37.88 = Watery Graves (0:00 - 0:18.5)
3:37.88 - 3:41.82 = Rigor Mormist (0:02.7 - 0:06.6)
3:41.82 - 3:46.38 = Watery Graves (0:00 - 0:02.5)
3:46.38 - 3:50.90 = Watery Graves (0:00 - 0:02.5) and Rigor Mormist (0:02.7 - 0:06.6)
3:50.9 - 3:55.7 = Watery Graves (0:00 - 0:18.5)
3:55.7 - 3:59.9 = Rigor Mormist (0:02.7 - 0:06.6)
3:59.9 - End = Watery Graves (0:00 - 0:18.5)

Overall, I'm really proud of the mixing/arranging work we both did. Cheers to the most awesome video game remixing site ever! :D
