Diverse System

[天の龍]

Well - I picked up a few CD's while I was at TGS, and a few of them are from Diverse System.

I've not heard of these guys until now - and I must say, they're pretty good. I nabbed Dear Mr. Sota, Dear Mr. Slake and Dear Mr. TaQ. As is pretty obvious, they are remixes or Bemani songs from thier repective artists.

Has anyone else heard or listen to this person/group? Any thoughts as to how they are overall? I'm interested after hearing what I've hard so far!

Listening to Summer Vacation (Mainline Mix) right now.

There's a Dear Mr. Slake? What's on it?

[THD5%]

Diverse System CDs look ridiculously cool, too bad im cheap with CDs, and ******** doesnt exist anymore.

i really want Dear Mr. Taka, and Dear Mr. Sota, and somewhat Dear Mr. TaQ, they all look so awesome.


Is there a place online to get them (im offering to buy them if i can find them), or a torrent site?

Diverse System isn't a group, it's more like a collective of Bemani remix artists. Whoever runs it finds some of the better remixes out there and compiles them onto themed CDs.

Naota's site has Dear Mr. TaQ, and I think it may have had a couple others, otherwise you'll have a hard time finding them for free.

How you order is a mystery to me, but personally, I've never found a whole lot of the remixes to be that great. They're pretty original concepts, though.

I find most of their stuff to be pretty hit-or-miss, but I recommend snagging D9 if you've ever got the chance. It's the best DIVERSE album ever.

(As far as Dear, Mr. SOTA goes, Kind Lady (Amber Shore Mix) is made of lollipops and win.)

My experience with them: look for the albums cheap. There's always at least one track on the album I like, but sometimes that's it (and then again, in some cases, I can stick the whole thing on repeat for hours, so it's widely varied.)

Except Fujitsu. Fuck that album.

I'm slowly finding that out myself. Dear Mr. TaQ is awesome (era -shishibone mix- and trace the track were both instant wins), while Dear Mr. Slake is really hit and miss. Textraure is about the only one I like so far.

I'll have to put D9 on my list then. Are there any other albums I should look into - such as Dear. Mr. TAKA, Dear Mr. DESIRE or any of the "style" compllation albums?

Dear Mr. 180 and Hello, Boss come to mind.

Seconded. (Also, Dear Mr. DESIRE is great. Possibly my favorite Diverse System album of all, and I've not heard Dear Mr. TAKA to tell you anything on it, sadly.)

[darkamdusias]

Dear, Mr. DESIRE was decent, but nothing to write home about. Dear, Mr. TAKA is the slightly better, if only because it has "Abyss -The Dreams Remix-", which I absolutely love. Dear, Mr. 180 didn't really do much for me, but to be fair, I was burned out on PARANOiA even before I got to it. Finally, Hello, BOSS has "The legend of MAX -stab add ambience mix-" which is an interesting take on TLoM that I despised at first, but found myself liking more and more as time went on.

Oh, and I totally agree about FUJITSU. Don't bother with it.

Hell, I loved that one upon my first listen. The piano made that song absolutely epic.
