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.

nice trippy lil' mix on the Bombman Stage, yes, it does get reptitive at certain parts as well. There is some effort in trying to mix things up as most old NES games could only have so long a music track. Still, it's the only Bombman mix on the site, so check it out.

Clever name. :-)
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.

sounds like something they should put in megaman powered up

Great piano together with a cool synth and beats, I like it really much. Just a tad to repetive, the new loop didn´t have much new material until 2:40.

That opening synth beat is so addicting!

Hey Hey, I like this. We really need some more analog synth songs on this site. This baby is a keeper.

This song like with so many of the Megaman remixes here is one I like to listen to multiple times. And what ginssu said in his post from so long ago, I might try whenever I play any Megaman game. :D The only thing that freaks me out about the song is the choice of title. Anyways Injury definately shows her musical prowess with this track. I give it 4 stars.

Bombman was always one of my favorite stage themes in the whole Megaman series, and Injury's done the tune great justice with her remix. I've ended up listening to the tune for a good 10 minutes straight without even realizing it. This is the kind of stuff I look for in remixes: songs that hold true to the original tune. Great, great work!

It has a very good sound to it, and I never get tired of it. Although I don't listen to it more than once at a time.
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.

He has been banned. Multiple times.

- Cuddly PyramidHead on September 22, 2003

wow if someone like Hate Shade was that rude and insulting on my forum i would probably ban him...

- BSmitty on September 21, 2003

I like very much;)
My favourite part is the beginning.
Set me up the BombMan, hehe.

- AlexTheGreyWolfe on June 5, 2003

The bassline is pretty cool. Pretty easygoing, lighthearted mix that stays true to the original. Sweet mix.

So sad seeing this little gem sitting on the bottom of the review boards...
maybe a bump will get it a little more attention (:
and how can you not love that title?

Mega Man 'Set Me Up the Bombman'
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.
