No More Heroes 2 Philistine "Retake" PAL Remix

[XRaider666]

This is the first version I heard, cause I have the European disc and it's still an awesome song :D!

[cristian4026]

OMG! it's fantastic!

[Stiglitz51]

It plays on my edition all thetime. I have the UK version and you can't play the original.

[Yokito121]

I think it plays during deathmach against her.

[EeveeLunice]

I may not like it as much as the original, but it IS still awesome

[istandidol]

This plays when you fight her as Henry.

[madhatten00]

REAPER REAPER REAPER REAPER IMA REAP YOU SEXY CHICK

[EbiNoUmmei]

Vocals from US Version + Instrumental from PAL Remix = Profit.

[KenjiYoza]

the autotune goes weird at parts

[Aishoogle]

This is actually the song's European version. I've just noticed it when I was playing on this stage: the theme was different from what I had heard before.

[BurningDesertSpirit]

MMmmmemeeeeeeeehhhh..... Its not as "battle music" as the one the US version got. Its okay...

[wazman]

@BurningDesertSpirit

......this one is more of a battle music

i liek the us version more, but its not as good for a battle than this one

[BRiTDRAG2]

better instrumental work but messed up vocals, it's a trade off.

[shadewings]

@BRiTDRAG2 not like the vocals weren't off key to begin with.

[Sciencebro]

NO MORE HEROES 2: DESPERATE STRUGGLE: THE MOVIE

STARRING:

T-PAIN AS MARGARET MOONLIGHT

[BRiTDRAG2]

@Sciencebro oh yes!

[SoraTenjou777]

still catchy as hell

[smbzfan2]

@SoraTenjou777 No, it might sound like it, but while playing it sucks compared to the american version.

[SoraTenjou777]

@smbzfan2 idk being a fan of the nmh series i think this version still holds up but that's my opinion

[FightingDuskstalker]

It doesn't feel right to synthesize Margaret's voice so much...

[dmld96]

This version is better then the NTSC.

[ZeketheGamer]

awesome

[grasshopper97]

This isn't the version on the OST. It's similar, but not it. I'm going to have to upload...

[Pokey3000]

I HATE this version, it sounds like a low quality version burned to a disc unsuccessfully. :3

[RedMK01]

In the French version of the game, the music plays during Margaret's fight.

[mugwhump666]

The faint part that kicks in at 0:48 is the best melody in the whole song, but you can barely hear it.

[killertrip10]

I hate auto-tune but it doesn't trump my hate for techno its just the new pop... if only they made this version without the

auto-tune. In short: WHY!? Q_Q

[mindmaster323]

FUCKING AWESOME DRUMS!!!!

[MegaPaoloFICAtion]

I'm Italian. I've the european version of NMH2.

When i fight for the first time margaret i've associate in my head something.

A sensation.

When i've download "phillistine" i've download the original version.

The sensation was different.

Today, when i've coming back in NMH2, i've listen this song.

I've re-feel in my head that original sensation.

It was awesome.

[ILLRICARDO]

i like this version over the others i have heard!!!!

[makonafan13]

Sexy. Amazing weapon. Love it all.

[MegaPaoloFICAtion]

@makonafan13

Yes. SEXY. So Sexy.

[DevonAlexanderHess]

I like how her whole motif is her song, and yet they completely butcher Margaret's theme in the PAL version. Not even that it's a bad remix, but it completely kills the feel of the original. Glad I get the US version.

[Smarty4789]

@DevonAlexanderHess I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to say. Could you elaborate?

[DevonAlexanderHess]

@Smarty4789 The song is supposed to have a hint of spookiness; A mix between Gothic and modern, just like Margaret and her gun. For the remix they went all-out pop, and I don't think it fits.

[Smarty4789]

@DevonAlexanderHess Oh I agree with that. But I didn't get the gothic/modern vibe from the US version either...

[zapper0856]

I like both original and this...

*grabs flame sheild*

[MissFJONES]

@zapper0856 Same here! :D

[CagezeroGear]

Fucking autotune, ruining music since forever...

[aba0302]

actually it IS played ingame. this is the actual boss theme during the fight on the pal version. was playing this a couple of days ago and decided to look it up.

i do like this one better though..

[MrAstrav1]

I'm going to pretend that Nadia Gifford's angelic voice was not raped by auto-tune.

[girpav]

I don´t get why they made a remix for the PAL version. Sounds good anyway.

[IDrumNaked]

>better than the original

WHATTHEFUCKAMIREADING

[NoMoreTy9]

@IDrumNaked

Trying to green text on youtube.

What the fuck am I reading?

[IDrumNaked]

@NoMoreTy9 its more sane than suggesting this version of the song is better than the original

[325areynolds11]

This one is better than the original

[spaceygirl7]

I don't know why people are so upset by how she pronounces Philistine. Technically it is correct just less common, like someone else mentioned. I'd be more concerned with her pronouncing the 'w' in sword. But at least you can understand the words.

[joeldipops]

She pronounces it correctly as far as I'm concerned. I'm not 100% sure, but the ancient Philistine people came from the same area as Palestine, which no-one calls Palesteen do they? Apparently it descends from Latin Phillistinus, which I can only imagine is pronounced like "mine"

[steeldragon95]

@joeldipops actually you are 100% correct that is technically the proper way to pronouce it but it is a whole type of toMAYto toMAto type argument

[Zormac]

I mean, autotune.

[Zormac]

Fuck the voice synth.

[JanembaJanemba]

What's the difference between this version and the Fukuda mix? =S

[Zalian]

@BongaFish

This is actually one of the accepted pronunciations. Not the most widespread, but technically correct.

[binarystar300]

this is a crappy audio of this song. go to grooveshark and search "no more heroes 2" and listen to how this remix should sound

[EasyGameFR]

This one is better

[Sokemon210Master]

I fought magaret and heard this music in the background

[sharpy748]

@Sokemon210Master What you heard was the Fukuda Mix, another version of this song and the one that was actually used for the battle.

[BongaFish]

She says phili"stein"

It's pronounced phili"STEEN"

Dumb bitch... If anyone's a philistine here it's her, damnit!

[imoyakichan]

@BongaFish Nadia Gifford (the singer) is half-Japanese and lives in Japan, and so is not used to normal English pronunciation and prosody, I think. The same pronunciation issues come up in her work for Steambot Chronicles.

[BongaFish]

@imoyakichan

I guess she's just sounding the word out the way it's spelled on her lyric script, then, and nobody bothered to correct it.

[BongaFish]

@imoyakichan

I just thought it was ironic for someone to mispronounce it.

[FalseScotsman]

I reckon it sounded better as background music; I didn't realise it was different in the US version until I went online. The full-blown track in the US version I must admit is far mroe distracting and somehow more annoying. :(

[squige000]

I don't like autotune why ruin a perfectly good song with it.......

[CarmageddonHero]

Hurray for autotune ruining one of my favorite boss themes ever. Thanks alot Suda, I hate you now.

[Evilguy951]

@CarmageddonHero

I actually like this version better than the original, however it does lose a good chunk of the symbolism.

[Kalimuri]

@CarmageddonHero

Wouldn't you have to blame Pal not Suda? Since Pal edited the game for Australia/Britain Idk if Suda get's much say so after giving them rights to dub the game

[kalil6]

whats the differencen between this one and fukuda mix?

[ColinMac93]

I like the original, but I think this version goes better with a fighting atmosphere.

[Jammyt5]

Both versions are great in my opinion.

[Foilsdown]

yay autotune kills everything

[XRaider666]

This one is better than the original, but this version is in the European version of the game, which I have and heard this one earlier than the other :P.

[Tinopa2]

like this one better for playing the game, but the other is better on my mp3

[CarmageddonHero]

The intro sounds retarded.

[jdteam0000]

still better than ke$ha

[TheIFR3AK]

@jdteam0000 Yeah! :D

[jdteam0000]

@TheIFR3AK glad someone thinks so, everyone i know prefers kesha .-.

[AzureKiru]

Other version is vastly superior, but I still like it.

[Imawiseguy2]

As much as I like the autotune in beginning of the song (has sort of a radio effect), it doesn't really seem to gel with the rest of the song.

[Slench101]

@Imawiseguy2 it doesn't quite fit her style...

[thenewmc2]

As good as this remix is, I thought the violins in the original were what sealed it and made it so perfect for the fight.

Doesn't change the fact that this version retains the almost toxic quality of catchiness that enters your head and never, ever gets out.

[sharperknives]

hey guys i hate autotune too am i cool yet

[theroyalpain]

@sharperknives lol exactly This isn't that bad, its when autotune is done tastefully its good, likw any other musical element.

[TearsOfTheSky]

@theroyalpain

Here here!

If you compare the other one, it's kinda of more the basic of the two, guitar rifts, changing tone, swaying mood of the song, I really like this version~

It's so... sublime~

[MrZirkusaffe]

@sharperknives year of course :D

[UsernameInOtherPants]

I prefer the original, But this isnt bad at all.

[jeshie123]

I actually prefer it. I didn't take notice of the song when I fought her during the game so I'm not sure if it's only in the Australian edition or something or it's just in the rematch.

[MrFoxInc]

@jeshie123

No, it's in all PAL-versions, always. I don't mind it either, though. Fits the fight just as well.

[hanataruofangirl97]

pretty cool depends wat u like

[IAMCARBONDOG]

its decent could be worse

[deviltetsuo555]

sounds like it's playing inside of a radio at the start

[DoomsdayKirisame]

I'd prefer this instrumental with the original's vocals...Someone needs to make that.

[JedininjaZC]

She sounds like T-Pain now. I like the original.

[hentaipleasemalcolm]

Honestly I like this one better.

[ShadowLexis]

Wish I had the other to listen to...it's better.

Not that I mind this version, t'was fun to sing along while I fought Margaret.

[Hiwatari3]

I like the other remix better as far as the two go, just because the guitar melody comes out more so you don't just listen to a distorted guitar/bass in those seconds. However, I think I still prefer the original.

[timeparadox888]

Sounds like Ke$ha, but less drunk.

[Romidamn]

@timeparadox888 Awesome comment XD

[TheHolySemiColon]

This version might have been better for the fight, but I like the regular version for listening on my mp3 player.

[Zepthire]

@TheHolySemiColon yeah agreed this one is really fucking epic to fight to, but the other version is nicer to listen to out of game

[ChaoGuy2006]

Didn't even realize we had the PAL version remixed. Or, does this not play in game?

[ArceusDX]

@ChaoGuy2006 Yeah it plays, played her match on Death Match today and heard this version, so yeah, we PAL users get this mix

[AnimeC0NAN]

anyone know what the .bstrm file on the disc is called?

[AnimeC0NAN]

NVM, found it.

for anyone else who wants it, it's called

"B1200_Hondalady_retake.brstm"

[CallumDark]

I'm pretty sure this is the music in the PAL fight. It is pretty awesome.

[ZeldaFan1985]

I prefer this than the original.

[taloscal]

i prefer the original version personally, but this is still pretty good :D

[iamloganharris]

this video can cure cancer

[AshmoreVid]

This version is miles better in the game and is much more tense.

Seriously

[tomontherun99]

I have the PAL version and this works better in the context of a battle but the original is still better outside of the game if that makes any sense

[AshmoreVid]

@tomontherun99 yeh I agree.

[Mike209000]

@tomontherun99 Yes. Yes it does.

[RaxisESP]

i just love philistine. all three versions.

[XRaider666]

@RaxisESP

Is there a 3rd?

[RaxisESP]

@XRaider666 yup: fukuda mix

[kyokusinagi]

what the download link i want this song

[ZerbanDaGreat1]

This song plays instead of the original in the Margaret battle - at least in the Australian version it does. My only problem with it is the vocals become a little too soft to hear over the fight.

[drizzitdude]

ugh i quit after 2 minutes the other one is so much better

[CrimsonSuccubus]

@drizzitdude But you obviously loved it for the two minutes you watched it, right?

[Mitsuuuuuuko]

I...Kind of like it more than the US version.

Then again, I'm totally gay for Autotune.

[N00bishshinobi]

@Mitsuuuuuuko Let's get married.

[OriginalTopRooster]

I like the original version better, but I love the instrumentals on 1:31-1:52 in this version.

[KeroroCanti]

I prefer the other version. There's just too much auto-tune in this version, and it kind of reminds me of Ke$ha, who I absolutely DETEST. It's still an okay song, though.

[SolidAdamo]

Her voice has just been Auto-tuned, thats the only difference I can see to the US one, i sort of prefer this version to be honest

[timeparadox888]

@SolidAdamo The original has more synths and drums, PAL has more guitars and the voice is autotuned.

[gooddarkjedi]

it does not mather where you live this music was done in japan so its not like its competision.

[gooddarkjedi]

favored

[gooddarkjedi]

i guess this is sudas way to say sorry that im late.

[CheetahBlood321]

For me personally, this version runs circles around the American version. The American one sounds like a half-assed all-girl band (not to say all girl bands suck) but this version seems more fitting for her character. I'm still not a fan of the lyrics, since it sounds like they put as much thought into it as the Hot Pockets theme (or slogan?), but this sounds like they put alot of thought into this mix

But I know other people are nuts about the other version and I at least respect their opinion

[stoneyaurora]

A REMIX OF PHILISTINE?!?!?!?

OH MY GOD YES

[KobunLord]

I think I may prefer this one a little more. I've never played the PAL version but this one seems more unstable, like Margaret herself. The US version's good too. They both have pros and cons.

[BrianMcCallister]

Is there a way I could download this version?

[DeathMasque]

maxkills98 is cleary 12 years old. Do your parents know you're playing a game as mature as NMH?

[Shikamarukan]

@DeathMasque Yeah, I mean , I'm 12 and I don't act that....er.....How would you classify it? Uneducated? Just plain stupid? Retarded even? Well, whatever, maxkills98 you REALLY need to act your age and check up on your grammar.

[NitroTitan]

BTW, how comes the guitar solo at 3:42 is so QUIET? It's much louder in-game (PAL version of course, US version doesn't have guitar solo XP)

[PurpleHearts10]

Naturally people are going to prefer the standard version since its been out there much much longer, this I believe is exclusive to us in the PAL Region and since the game only recently arrived, people used to the, still good, original version are crying foul.

Awesome remix though anyway, makes the fight more enegertic.

[NitroTitan]

USA'ers don't understand their NMH was the unfinished version.

Alice "MOONLIGHT"(Twilight) anybody?

[DeadEndScreamer]

Probably doesn't sound bad while playing the game but still a lot worse than the original.

[DeathMasque]

I honestly think it trumps the original in all aspects. This is way better to fight to then the bland 'American' version.

[Belisarius]

Once I listened to it again it wasn't that bad, though I think I still prefer the original

[TylerTheHaxor]

ahahahaha this is retarded, why would they even do this?

[IAmTheSecretOfMana]

@TylerTheHaxor Because it's better. I'm glad we Englishmen got this version. It shits on the American version

[PurpleHearts10]

@maxkills98

You sir make your fellow Americans looks like intollerant pricks, so I suggest you shut the fuck up for their sake.

[Shikamarukan]

@PurpleHearts10 Ugh I know. I'm American and I love the original, but I really like this one too.

[RagingFerocity]

@maxkills98

.... Thank you. Thank you for making our entire nation look like jackasses, you goddamned idiot. Kindly go jump into a lake with a pair of large rocks tied to your feet.

[TheGodKefka]

@maxkills98

You! Out of the Gene Pool!

[trewerd]

I would have preferred THIS version in the north american version. Then take the song from the NA version and add it to a soundtrack CD.

[troglodytesrus]

Eurgh why did you do this to a great song?

[RedLightBulbs]

It's pretty cool but the original sounded cooler, says I.

[SethSandwhisper]

This boss was just great. I saw Margaret in videos of the game. Then the PAL version came out and I got it. The whole stage was awesome. About a hundred opponents to face before the boss fight and then, when the fight started I heard this remix and was like HELL YEAH!!! Oh, and thanks for uploading this version in good quality.

[blastyrant]

this would have fit better in the game!!!

[Romidamn]

Sincerely this one is cooler to listen to while fighting, but when listening to it without playing, I prefer the American version

[Akoena009]

@Romidamn I completely agree

[ultimachocobo86]

This just sounds terrible in comparison to the original.

it may be faster paces, but the sound in this one is just garbage.

[MaxiMaxuro]

i prefer this one, more appropriate for a fight for me

[Nesveri]

I'm kinda confused about which version I prefer. The US one is awesome, like HELL YEAH AWESOME but this sounds slightly more chaotic and inhumane which I think could be more appropriate for NMH.

[anAngryHamster]

Oh god Margaret what have they done to your masterpiece?

[MangaPlCTURE]

preferring this over the US version <.<

[FandeJay]

...catchy as hell!

[Dementolo]

This is good, but I still love the US version a ton more~

[CanineV3]

Still catchy as hell.

[commecalala]

I actually prefer this one over the NTSC version. (even though I heard that one first.)

It sounds much more organic. There's just more substance to it...

Or maybe the mastering is just better on this one.

The autotune is a nice touch. ...adds that little something.

[IAmTheSecretOfMana]

@commecalala I'm PAL, so I heard this first, so when I heard the US one, I was actually appauled. It sucks compared to this. Far faster paced and crazy, just like NMH and Margaret herself.

[sharpy748]

Everything sounds better autotuned.

[CROSSSCYTHE99]

What he said  V:
