And the award for wittiest ReMix name of the year goes to . . . ^^ Starla has been pumpin' out the ReMixes lately and has been very hard to keep up with without seeming like I'm playing favorites just because she's a chica. More than a chica - a chica that digs retro analog synths. But I digress - I'm pacing myself. Opening with a very strong bassline that sounds flanged to my ears (very electrofunky regardless), she takes it into major key MegaMan technoland with with thick sequencing of eletronic sounds, but makes sure to break things up with a really cool piano run that dives in and out of chromaticism in a way that just makes this mix for me. Well, okay, a sample at the end of her saying 'Somebody set me up the Bombman' in the whiny-ensign voice would have sealed it, but would have been musically . . . questionable. grabit.

The synths used were pretty fat and mixing overall was decent; though i'd prefer the percussion to have a bit more bite, specifically the kick. The hats were a little too robotic for me as well.
Arrangement was pretty basic, without a ton of expansion, but there are sufficient breakdowns and instrumentation to give this one it's own identity.
I did enjoy the mix but would have preferred a bit more arrangement.

Still, I actually didn't notice this remix until just yesterday, when I stumbled upon this thread. Thanks guys. :)
Overall, I'd give this nice piece of work a 4.5/5. MegaMan fans should be pleased.

Someone give me a controller, I want to play some Megaman. Mute the TV and put this on the stereo. Yes! That’s what I’m talking about. In case you haven’t already noticed, I suppose I should let you in on a little secret: I love this mix. The thing that gets me into the groove with this one is that bass line. It sounds like the authentic NES bass enough to bring back the memories of those old games (not that I ever played Megaman in particular,) while still adding enough sweet electronic spunk to make me want to dance. And by the way, it also hops into some awesome piano inserts a couple times, just to spice things up.
